they become full grown, I beg you.

You don't get to see that often.

He must be really happy.

He's as grand as a mountain.

I can't even come close.

Sis, doesn't that disgusting

dance offend you?

It sure is vulgar.

But it's masculine so it's kind of good.

My, what a pretty shell!

You look familiar.

It's Ayame.

Oh, Ayame!

You've grown so much!

You used to tease me when I was little.

That's right, that's right.

It was you, Ayame.

Get off him, you lowlife wench.

Leave him alone.

Get out.

Brother! We were just...

You stay out of this.

Listen up...

Yatota is the one who'll

eventually take my position.

I won't let anyone flirt with

him like a sneaky thief.

Keep that in mind, everyone!

It's alright, don't cry.

Don't pay any attention.

What was that about?

Brother, we were just...

What?

He finally confessed.

I was shocked to hear it.

Guess who's behind it?

Who?

It's Asakura!

They were planning to hold

our young masters hostage.

Damn Asakura! How dare he!

It's just what a dirty

samurai would think of.

You never know what that tricky

old bastard might try next.

We brave men of the Shinobu Clan

shouldn't be shocked by news like this.

Stay alert!

Yes!

When we part...

We'll never get to see

each other again.

I will never forget you.

A farmer's son like me...

...would've never been allowed to

speak with a princess of Asakura...

...if we weren't held hostage together.

Being hostage is a sad thing...

But it was wonderful with you here.

I suppose when you get back to Shinobu...

You'll find a nice bride.

No, I'll never marry anyone.

Just like this shell you're

giving me as a memento...

I'll never meet the other

half it belongs to.

Why was I born into a samurai family?

It's been 3 years...

You're finally able to sleep

in your own bed tonight.

You must be elated.

I was happier when I was a hostage.

What are you saying?

Our clan is in the middle

of a war with the Kaga.

How can we send our soldiers

to serve at Sir Enjo's castle?

He released our princess

when he had no reason to.

But how are we going to

handle the revolt then?

The peasants might take this

opportunity to attack us.

Would you still want to

send our soldiers to Enjoji?

That's reckless, utterly reckless!

Kagemasa has a point.

What are your thoughts, Tajima?

We don't have to lend manpower for

feelings of obligations or affinity.

You know the princess

was released unharmed.

He released her because he

wanted to make us feel obligated.

So he could make such a request.

It's apparent he's losing his confidence.

So what are you saying?

We should attack Enjoji Castle.

What?

Attack Sir Enjo?

Do you think it's ridiculous?
