Together?
Oh! Yeah! If we all work together...!
Is fighting the only way?
I'll never say good-bye to our prime forever
And I feel like dumb, I don't know why
I'll never say good-bye 'cos I can't forget her
But I feel like dumb, I don't know why
Try to scream
Shattered dreams are made of stone and desperation
Broken hearts blown in a freezing wind during winterlong
Unspoken words floating on freezing wind during winterlong
During winterlong
Taito...
Ryuko. You're up early.
Likewise. It's a surprise to see you training so early in the morning.
Yeah. I woke up early.
Oh! Ryuko!
Good morning, Ryuko!
Oh, you're all here.
That idiot made sure of that!
Hey! Who're you calling an idiot?!
You, of course. You got out of bed before the sun was even out.
Geez. When did you become such a swell idiot?
Quit calling me stupid!
Besides, it was your snoring that woke me up!
Why, you! How dare you say that in front of Laila!
You're going to make her feel nervous about our newlywed life!
Don't be stupid! Like I'd ever let her marry you!
Why do I need your permission to marry someone?!
W-well, because...
Yeah! Quit trying to ruin our plan to have a happy family!
Be quiet, Hosei! This has nothing to do with you!
Ryuko?
Here you are, Ryuko...
Father...
Does something trouble you?
Whenever you're troubled on your path,
you always walk about, holding that dagger.
The Alkaid and Dubhe never exist at the same time.
Why do you think that is?
The Two Celestial Deities...
Despite being human, they bear stars very near to the gods...
If the powers of both collided, a great disaster would befall the world.
But the two stars have appeared now, in these times.
Meaning a collision is likely unavoidable.
As one of the Five Divine Warriors, what will you do, Ryuko?
I'll...
...prevent the collision, of course.
Even if that means fighting Keiro, the Dubhe, himself.
I see. But surely that isn't the only way.
You could also strike down the Alkaid.
You want me to strike down a friend?!
I don't want it to be that way.
But heavenly mandates are sometimes cruel.
You may one day be forced to make that decision.
I'm sorry. It wasn't my intent to cause you pain by telling you this.
Me, strike down Taito?
What's wrong, Ryuko? Are you not feeling good?!
No. You've grown stronger.
It's nice to hear you praise me, but it also feels weird!
But just you watch! I'll beat the crap out of that mustached bastard soon!
Just kidding! That's probably how I would've talked until just recently!
But now I understand
that I'm still nowhere good enough to beat that bastard!
Taito...
My desire to beat him wasn't the only thing that's made me stronger.
Losing to Rinmei was a good lesson too.
But more than anything, it was because of you, Ryuko.
Wow. You really have grown stronger. In body and mind.
C'mon, quit it! It feels so weird having you praise me!
You really have grown stronger. Which is precisely why I must...
Still no good.
Their energy has completely disappeared again.
Is it a barrier? Or maybe some sort of charm?
What are you doing, Shimei?
Oh, just some unimportant business...
You took the Xian Jia Lan Wu last time, didn't you?!
Oh, my. You found out?
What are you scheming?! Depending on what you say...
Whoa, now! Please don't be like that, Choka.
I think they're best left hidden in your beautiful outfit.
I will allow no more of your selfishness!
You need only focus on finding the Alkaid!
And quit prowling around Lord Keiro's mansion.
Yes, yes. As you wish.
Yeesh. She gets a lot crankier when ol' Keiro's gone.
Hey, Laila. The Moon Market comes today.
Moon Market?
You know the river on the east side of the capital?
Once a month, cargo ships come up it and stop at the capital.
A huge market always pops up then!
Oh!
They have all kinds of rare things from distant lands!
Wow!
What do you say we all go?
I'll go!
If you're going, then count me in!
I assume you'll come too, Taito?
Nah, it'll just make me hungry. I think I'll stay here and train.
Too bad. They also have lots of rare fruits...
Hey! What are you sitting around for, Hosei?! Get up!
Man, you're always so quick to change your mind.
Hey, Ryuko. Won't you come too?
Ryuko?
Ryuko!
Sheesh! Weren't you listening?!
Sorry.
She asked if you want to go to the Moon Market with us!
It's good to take a little breather sometimes!
No, I think I'll pass.
O-oh. Then I guess it's just us.
Yeah.
I should be going now.
Is it just me, or is Ryuko out of it today?
Are you going out, Ryuko?
Yes. I should be back tonight.
Hey. You've been acting strange since this morning, Ryuko.
You can't even talk to me about it?
I'm sorry.
What are you apologizing for, you dummy?
I hardly have guests anymore, you see.
No, I apologize for suddenly barging in like this.
I thought you might visit soon.
You carry something dangerous, don't you?
F-forgive me. Normally I don't carry it with me, but...
Oh. A splendid dagger.
When my father was young, he traveled throughout the land.
During his travels, he adopted me.
This dagger was the only thing I had with me when he came across me.
I see.
So, what is it you want to ask me?
Do you believe in heavenly mandate?
Heavenly mandate?
If you're born with a role that the heavens have given you,
is following that the correct path to take?
Of course. A heavenly mandate is karma. It is not something to be resisted.
Even if, for example, it means taking someone's life.
What?! You're saying that's the proper path to take?!
It was only an example.
I see. I think I have a good idea of what is troubling you.
You want to save this empire.
But you must sacrifice something dear for that to happen.
How do you know that?
You've expressed your worries about the state of the empire before.
My journey has further strengthened my desire to save the empire.
At the same time, I have gained irreplaceable friends.
But my heavenly mandate may take those friends from me.
While long at peace, the Xian Empire contracted a grave illness.
A fatal disease, you could even say.
The empire is going to die?
As a doctor, I have the ability to save people's lives.
But saving an empire is a different thing altogether.
Only someone chosen by the heavens can do that.
That's... heavenly mandate?
Personally, as a citizen living in the Xian Empire,
I would want to entrust this empire's future to such a person.
Lucky me! Didn't expect to run into the Mizar kid here!
Heavenly mandate...
Oh! Now things are getting interesting!
What do you think?
Wow! It really suits you, Rinmei!
What did you buy, Laila?
I bought this!
They said it's a magic powder that can make vegetables grow twice as big!
O-oh. Good for you!
How can girls get so excited about shopping?
Taito. These are hard to eat.
You think?
They said they're "banana" fruits from a continent to the south,
so I thought I'd try 'em out, but...
Mmm! So what if they're a little tough?
Oh, Ryuko! Welcome back!
Hey, Ryuko! Wanna have some bananas with us?
--What's with him? --Beats me.
A heavenly mandate is karma. It is not something to be resisted.
You could also strike down the Alkaid.
Oh, my. You appear rather troubled indeed.
You're Shimei!
Sorry, I'm not in the mood for that today.
Be quiet!
--What?! --Hold on!
You'll regret it if you don't hear me out.
I thought I might give you some special information.
What are you plotting?!
Don't be so standoffish.
I hear you were abandoned as a child?
Where did you hear that?!
I know everything. Including, yes, who your real father was...
What?!
Are you not interested in knowing about your father?
This is nonsense! I will not listen to this drivel!
The dagger in your pocket...
Did you know there's a bit of a secret to it?
A secret...?
It's a blade for protection that parents give to their children.
Supposedly it was the only thing you had when you were adopted.
Draw it.
Now comes the real fun. Shine light on the blade.
"Keiro"
K-Keiro...
And there you have it.
Y-you don't mean...
That's right. General Keiro of the Xian Empire... is your father.
Th-that can't be!
Sheesh! Dumb brother!
I refuse to believe this!
Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
I only told you what I know.
"Tong You Temple"
Whoops, there they are.
Well, I'd best be going. So long!
The Tong You Temple is currently surrounded by the Xuan Lang Platoon.
They demand that we give them Taito.
Damn it!
Where are you going, Taito?!
I can't be a burden to everyone in the temple!
That's enough of that. Listen like a good boy until he's finished.
Listen well, Taito and everyone else!
The Tong You Temple will give in to no one!
Handing over an innocent man would be an affront
to the Liu Jia Sect and the morals it upholds!
Even if the emperor himself orders it,
I will not hand over Taito without good reason!
Ryusho...
Given that they've surrounded the temple but done nothing else,
they most likely lack a pretext for raiding this place.
But stay sharp!
If things turn ugly, teach the lowly Xuan Lang Platoon
the true essence of the Liu Jia Sect and the Eight Great Styles!
Now, then. In the meantime, we'll need all of you to leave.
Open up! Open up!
So the damn monks are going to resist?!
Looks like you're having a difficult time.
Shimei...
You have no business being involved here.
Don't be like that.
I noticed the monks were giving you trouble,
so I've brought some information you might find interesting.
Information I might find interesting?
Hurry!
Once we're through here, it's a straight shot to the outskirts of the capital!
Will Master Ryusho be all right?!
Father...!
Damn it!
I can't believe I'm running away without even fighting that mustached bastard!
It's rare to see you act so docile!
I expected you to say, "I hate running away!" or something!
If I tried to argue now, I'd be renouncing Ryusho's kindness toward me!
Taito. Remember this.
Remember that all these stars gathered under the Alkaid,
and that Keiro, the Dubhe, stood in your way.
These two things have meaning.
Right.
Start by finding the remaining Divine Warriors.
Do so, and the heavens will show you your way.
And... have faith in Ryuko.
Have faith in Ryuko...
Oh! There's the exit!
We're finally out...
We lost them.
I've been expecting you, little Alkaid.
You're that woman!
How nice of you to come out of hiding for me.
That can't be! How did you know about this secret passage?!
Even Shimei comes in handy at times like this.
Thanks to him, I can take care of the Alkaid and all of his friends.
Damn! We'll just have to break through 'em all!
Yeah!
Who are these girls?!
Get back, Laila!
R-right!
C'mon, Taito! You can do better than that!
Shut up! I can't fight serious against girls!
Geez! That idiot!
There!
Alright!
Damn! I could use a little help!
Ryuko!
Get out of my way!
--Ryuko! Are you all right?! --Yes! Thank you!
Take this!
Oh! That magic powder is awesome!
Way to go, Laila!
Everyone! Let's escape while we can!
Curse you!
Hang in there, everyone! We should be okay once we reach the river!
--Right! --Right!
Hey, Ryuko! You're falling behind! You all right?!
Yes! I'm fine!
Keiro...
What is this feeling of foreboding?
It has been a while, Taito...
I shall devour the karma of Alkaid!
Keiro!
chiisana te no hira ni norikiranai hodo no

He believed they would always be together.
I have only one wish.
Looks like they've just collided.
I will also kill you and make your power mine.
I have been prepared to die from the very start.
Ryuko! Why?!
Rinmei! No!
So long, Ryuko.
Ryuko!
Is this rain the tears of the stars?
On Hero Tales, "Chapter Thirteen: The Two Celestial Deities."
Goodbye, Taito...
