[Raws-4U] Shin Koihime Musou - 09 (MX ).Crunchyroll.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Let's spread our wings and flutter away, and awaken from the dream of a thousand years.
You're in a good mood, Ryuubi-dono.
I got my sword back!
I know you're happy, but that's dangerous.
Those clouds look nasty. Lightning could strike at any second.
You're scared of thunder? What a kid!
No, that's not it.
Look!
That's what happens when you get hit by lightning.
Lightning often strikes metal objects, so be careful, everyone!
Episode 9 Gakushin, Riten, and Ukin Protect a Village
There's a village.
Whew! Let's sleep there tonight!
Yeah. Any minute now, it could rain.
I'd much prefer to sleep somewhere with a roof.
Stop!
Who are you?
Who are we?
We're just what we look like: a group of travelers.
Travelers?
I see weapons. You're not bandits, are you?
Ironic. The black-haired bandit hunter herself mistaken for a bandit...
The black-haired bandit hunter?
Liar!
I heard the black-haired bandit hunter was a real beauty!
It can't be you!
Aisha, they're just children.
I know.
I know, but...
Call Gakushin-san and her gang!
Right!
They seem pretty spooked by something.
I'm sure there are bandits around here...
That doesn't mean it's OK to suspect us!
If only Aisha were as hot as rumored, this wouldn't have happened.
Sorry that I'm not good enough.
Ukin-san!
Riten-san!
Maou-chan, it's gotta be them.
OK!
Take this, bandits!
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry we jumped to conclusions.
It's fine... As long as you know it was a misunderstanding, we're happy.
Raise your head, Gakushin-san.
Maou and Sawa didn't mean any harm.
Yeah. I only did it because you were screaming about bandits!
But the gate guards ran up, and when I asked what had happened,
they said bandits were attacking-
Um, you seem quite worried about bandits.
Did something happen?
You see, we were on our way to Sousou-dono's land, seeking a commission in her army.
To Sousou-dono's?
Yes. We've heard that Sousou-dono is a noble lord,
who will take in any with talent, regardless of their original station in life.
We stopped here for shelter. That night, the bandits lurking in the mountains attacked.
It seems every village male has been drafted for war or forced labor,
leaving only children and the elderly.
Apparently, the bandits want to exploit that, to make this village their new fortress.
Stupid bandits!
Since then, the bandits attack whenever they think we're vulnerable.
Each time, we chase them away, but there are just too many for us to defeat.
We spend our days strengthening our defenses.
I see.
So that's what's going on.
It's been three months since we came here.
Bandits have attacked us ten times...
To be honest, we can't stay here forever.
But we can't abandon the others, either...
Of course we can't!
Should they control this village,
they'll grow even stronger and start to attack the other surrounding villages and towns.
Aisha.
I'll help you, too.
I can't do much, but I can weave mats!
Then I'll take those mats and roll up the bandits in them!
But from what you've said, the bandits have the numbers.
We'd be at a disadvantage in an open fight...
Shuri, any ideas?
This drawing is all we have.
It's plenty.
This is the village, and this is the bandits' mountain hideout.
This is the bridge in front of the village...
Is this a lake up here?
Yes. Because a dragon god is said to dwell there, it's called the Dragon God's lake.
According to the villagers,
it used to be a fairly large lake.
But the water level's dropped, and the river in front of the village has thinned a lot.
What is it, Shuri?
Any ideas?
Yes... If we could gain the Dragon God's aid, we might be all right.
The Dragon God's aid, huh?
Koumei-dono has proven a far more proficient strategist than she appears, but what does she have in mind?
Then you made this device?
Yup.
You bend a thin steel rod like this,
and it uses the power of the spring to fire things.
I see...
You're great at making things!
Yup! If I've got the parts, I can make most anything.
Then you like the three Chou sisters, too?
Yes!
I saw them along my journey, and I fell in love!
Me, too!
Their dances and songs are so cute, I love them!
Their outfits are great, too!
They are! They are!
What's wrong, Ryuubi-dono?
Can't you sleep?
I'm sorry.
I was thinking of my blade, and I just couldn't fall asleep.
Your blade?
Yes.
My mom always used to tell me
that I had many noble and famous ancestors.
And, to serve the people, they all took this sword in hand.
So, since I was to inherit it, I would need to do the same.
But I never really understood what it meant.
I couldn't even take care of myself, let alone serve the people...
You know?
Yeah...
But, on my journey, I've met people like these villagers or those orphans,
and I've learned that there are many people suffering in this world.
I don't know what I can do, but I've decided I must do something.
I see...
Then up until now, we've been companions on a journey to recover your sword,
but from now on, let's be companions trying to make the world a better place.
Okay!
I've spent the day studying the layout,
and I think we'll be able to enlist the Dragon God's aid.
Listen, everyone.
First, we'll build a floodgate here, to dam in the water flowing from the Dragon God's lake into the river.
Even if there isn't much water, if we dam it, the lake will fill eventually.
And from what the elders in the town were saying,
every year about this time, there's a month-long rain.
Which means we won't have to wait too long until we're ready.
Once the lake is full, we'll strike the bandits' hideout at night with a small force.
When they counterattack, we'll draw them back to the bridge.
Once we've crossed it, we'll drop the bridge to lure them into the dry riverbed.
Then we open the floodgates?
Yes. If it works, while we may not wipe them all out, we'll neutralize a large number of them.
A hard rain, huh?
We'll wash 'em all away!
Yep!
Well? Not bad, huh?
Yes! I don't know how you put something so nice together in so few days!
Riten-san, you really are a construction genius!
Aw, you don't mean it.
Now we just wait for the river to fill.
It would be nice to have the Dragon God's blessings by now.
Speaking of the Dragon God, that stone over there...
I heard this from the villagers who helped me with the floodgate.
That's supposedly a dragon egg, and if it breaks, a dragon will emerge.
A dragon egg?
Lately, it's been raining every day.
Yup... But thanks to this rain, the lake's going to fill up faster.
We can't complain.
But once the lake's full, we'll fight again.
Actually, I really don't like fighting.
I tell myself I need to work hard to beat the bad guys...
But I'm so scared, I start shaking.
On our journey, the three of us have fought bandits and stuff,
but I always slow the others down.
The other two try so hard, I feel I'm pathetic.
That isn't true.
You're scared, but you're holding it in and doing your best.
So I think you're trying even harder than the others.
It's not pathetic at all.
Ryuubi-san...
And I'm sure I've been more of a hindrance on my journey than you have.
If you don't believe me, you can ask Kan'u-san and the others.
I don't think that's something to be proud of.
Come to think of it, you're right.
Welcome back!
How was the lake?
Great!
It's filled.
We attack tonight.
I'm going to have you attack the bandits' hideout now.
Leave it to us.
Our goal is to lure out the enemy,
so don't go in too far.
Riten-san, you stay by the floodgates.
Ryuubi-san is in the woods between the lake and the village,
on standby, waiting to relay my signal to Riten-san.
When the water comes, I'll sound the gong.
When you hear it, get away from the river.
Right.
OK, then. Good luck, everyone!
Rin Rin, don't chase after them.
Our goal is to lure them out.
Got it!
You sure?
Are you OK?
O-Of course!
Gakushin-dono!
Right!
Sawa!
Got it!
Rin Rin! You, too!
Let me go!
I want to hit more people!
Boss, they're falling back!
I bet they thought they surprised us, but our numbers are far too great.
OK! Follow them, and let's hit the village!
Tonight's the last night we sleep outdoors!
Boss, look at that!
Fools.
Don't worry, the river's not that deep!
Charge!
I'm first-
It's about time.
That's the signal.
Go! Go! Go!
Aisha, is the flood here yet?
We won't last much longer.
I know!
The signal again?
The flood hasn't hit yet?
Did something happen to Riten-san?
Riten-san, what happened?
Open the floodgate...
What is this?
When I opened the floodgate, that stone fell into the ditch.
The rain must have loosened the ground.
I tried to move it, but no matter what I do, it won't budge.
Damn it!
If I'd known this would happen,
I'd have gotten rid of that rock when I was making the floodgate!
Idiot!
That's not gonna be enough to shatter it!
Move!
You fool!
You were about to get fried!
No! We need to run!
You knew that would happen?
Good! It worked...
H-Hey, wait!
Sawa!
Okay!
Sawa!
Hurry!
Right.
B-Boss!
Rin Rin, help me!
Sawa...
The water dispersed overnight.
Yeah.
We got most of the bandits, too.
And they all lived happily ever after!
I wish...
But Ryuubi-dono's...
Yeah.
Ryuubi-dono, why not head back to the village for now?
The villagers said they'd help.
You can look for your sword after you get some rest.
It's OK.
When the lightning struck, the blade was burned black.
Even had I found it, it wouldn't have been useable.
Ryuubi-dono, I'm sure you're saddened, having lost the sword you finally regained.
But your desire to change the world for the better, to help the people,
did you lose that with your sword?
Riten told me of your deeds.
Putting yourself in danger and trying to save the village, even if it cost you your sword...
I'm sure your ancestors would applaud that.
You lost your sword, but I believe you inherited something even more important.
Kan'u-san...
The first night, when we arrived,
I told you that we were companions on a journey to make the world a better place.
So, if I can help you with anything, tell me.
Umm... Then, can I ask you something?
Of course!
Kan'u-san, would you make me your younger sister?
Your words made me realize
I will follow you the rest of my life, to change the world!
So make me your younger sister!
No way!
Aisha's only sister is me!
Y-Yeah, Ryuubi-dono, I already have a bratty little sister, so I don't need any more.
You won't?
But maybe you could be her older sister.
Really?
Rin Rin, what are you-
Very well.
Then I'll be your older sister!
Wait a second...
And they all lived happily ever after!
No!
Welcome!
I'm your Tencho who never turns down interviews, Riten.
I'll take extra-spicy ramen, with red-peppers.
We're having a special. You can have rice or a preview. Which do you want?
I'll take the rice.
No, I said rice or a preview.
And I said I wanted the rice-
Order coming up!
Extra-spicy ramen, with red peppers, and a preview topping.
OK!
Preview coming up!
