flowers on the battlefield part 9

Madara: Mm. Everything's peaceful now, that's good, we can live happily ever after........ ♪
 

Mitsuru: No, nothing's started yet.
 

Mitsuru: Hey, Cap....... Can I call you Mikejima-senpai? Do I also have a character to play in this "Wisteria Festival"?
 

Mitsuru: Ni~chan said creating a character's important. I can't really act, but I want to perform in the way I'm supposed to.
 

Mitsuru: I hurt myself and caused everyone a lot of trouble, so I want to at least do my best.
 

Madara: Ohhh. You're so hardworking, Mitsuru-san. Good, good boy ♪
 

Madara: Mitsuru-san's that guy, Nasu no Yoichi*. Compared to Yoshitsune, he played a rather minor role, but do you know him? Did you learn about him in class or something?
 

Mitsuru: Nasu no Yoichi-san........? What a strange name~, did he grow eggplants*?

*T/N: "Nasu" also means eggplant.

Madara: Hahaha. If he did, he'd be Chiaki-san's natural enemy........ Nasu no Yoichi was a master in archery and was one of the many great men that participated in the Battle of Dannoura.
 

Madara: In a moment of destiny, he tried to shoot a folding fan that had been hoisted on top of a far away ship.
 

Madara: That was just one of the countless arrows released during the Battle of Dannoura........ but that single arrow changed history.
 

Madara: If he missed, who knows what could've happened.........
 

Madara: That's something nobody knows though. It had meaning and worth and he was able to carve his name into history because it hit its target.
 

Madara: You should become a man like him, Mitsuru-san. It doesn't matter how many times you fail. As long as you don't stray from the target, all you have to do is, without fail, produce splendid results during crucial times.
 

Madara: I believe that if it's you, you'll be able to achieve that.
 

Madara: With one arrow, carve your name into history. There's nothing cooler than that, and I think there's something legendary in you that can be nurtured.
 

Madara: I'm happy that I'm able to carry such a child in my arms.
 

Madara: I'm really grateful for this meeting. You don't need to hurry though, Mitsuru-san's still "small".........
 

Madara: The length of our steps may be different, but one day you'll be able to run towards the vanguard of humanity.
 

Madara: That's what I'm expecting of you. I trust in you and I'm relying on you........ now let's go.
 

Madara: Let's enjoy this lovely stage, the peak of our youth....... this festival.
 

Madara: That's what I've always been doing anyway.
 

Shinobu: Um! The music has started playing! The "Wisteria Festival" really has started-de gozaruuuu~! Ahhhhh, I'm really shivering now!
 

Chiaki: Ahaha. I was wondering why you've been silent all this time, but turns out you're just nervous, Sengoku.
 

Chiaki: It'll be fine. Kanata and I, no......... everyone's with you.
 

Chiaki: I'm an unreliable commander that's always failing and worrying. If you're unsatisfied with anything, tell me anytime, I'll put my full effort on improving myself.
 

Chiaki: So will you follow me? I'll try......... no, I definitely won't make you regret it.
 

Shinobu: Of course, Captain-dono.
 

Shinobu: Once I've chosen a master, I must never betray him. That's part of the ninja code-de gozaru.
 

Shinobu: Things I couldn't achieve alone, I was able to experience as a part of "Ryuuseitai", so it's always exciting-de gozaru.
 

Shinobu: I don't have any complaints whatsoever. Every day I'm living the most happy life........ so I can now confirm that there's no way I'd regret this-de gozaru.
 

Chiaki: I see....... That's good, I'm really happy to hear that.
 

Chiaki: Alright! I'm pumped now! Today too, I'll burn my heart red and perform my best for all the guests who came!
 

Chiaki: With a smile! Without looking back or stopping in my tracks! Continuing straight ahead, on the trail leading to my childhood dream!
 

Chiaki: ...........Is that good enough, Mikejima-san?
 

Madara: Hahaha! I don't know how to answer even if you ask me that!
 

Madara: You're the commander of "Ryuuseitai" and I'm already an outsider! There's nothing I can do even if you set your needle on me*, though I'll help you out if you ask for it, yeah?

 

*T/N: "Set your needle on me" means making him the ultimate goal, the destination. Aiming to be like him.

 

Madara: But first, try hard and do your best. You can do anything.
 

Kanata: Fufu. "~can do it" has become Chiaki's "catchphrase", so.........
 

Kanata: Please don't say it too much, okay. Your personalities will overlap.
 

Madara: Hm? I see....... sorry, sorry, or should I say, "thank you"!
 

Madara: Chiaki-san noticed me so much that my phrases have infected him, I think?
 

Madara: I thought everyone was confused by everything I would one-sidedly throw at them, but I was able to pass on something to someone.........
 

Madara: Being able to affect someone else with my actions is a strangely pleasing thing.
 

Madara: Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I'm glad I returned.
