Ryoma x Saizo C-A English Fates

C Support:

Ryoma:
Saizo, are you there?▼

Saizo:
I'm never far, my lord. How may I be of
service to you?▼

Ryoma:
There is a question I would put to you.▼

Saizo:
Ask away, my lord.▼

Ryoma:
You were raised from a young age to take
the mantle of Saizo, right?▼

Saizo:
Yes.▼

Ryoma:
Have you had second thoughts on
the subject?▼

Saizo:
Never.▼

Ryoma:
No hesitation, I see.▼

Saizo:
Why do you ask?▼

Ryoma:
I was merely curious. If it never crossed
your mind, very well.▼

That will be all, Saizo. I'm sorry to have
summoned you for so little.▼

Saizo:
Yes, my lord.▼



B Support:

Saizo:
Lord Ryoma...▼

Ryoma:
Yes, Saizo? What is it?▼

Saizo:
May I ask what prompted your earlier
question?▼

Ryoma:
What question would that be?▼

Saizo:
Whether I had any qualms about taking on
the Saizo name.▼

Ryoma:
Ah, yes.▼

Saizo:
I wasn't sure what prompted it. Has my
work been subpar in some way?▼

Ryoma:
Not at all. Your work is exemplary,
as always.▼

No, I wondered because I've been having
my own doubts along those lines.▼

Saizo:
Doubts, my lord?▼

Ryoma:
It can't be easy, working in the shadows.
Some of your jobs are ethically dubious.▼

But you discharge your duty without
complaint.▼

Saizo:
I do what is expected of me, my lord.▼

Ryoma:
But the high risk you undertake ought to
merit a correspondingly high reward.▼

And right now our army does not have the
funds to compensate you properly.▼

I thought this might be cause for some
dissatisfaction.▼

Saizo:
Never, my lord! These things couldn't be
further from my thoughts.▼

Ryoma:
I'm glad to hear that.▼

But if you ever do have any such concerns,
I ask that you bring them to me.▼

Saizo:
Your generosity is most kind, my lord.▼

Ryoma:
I intend to do everything in my power to
reward you for your service. It's only fair.▼

Saizo:
As you say, Lord Ryoma.▼



A Support:

Saizo:
Lord Ryoma. When you said I could tell you
about any concerns I had...▼

Ryoma:
Has something come up?▼

Saizo:
One minor thing, maybe.▼

Ryoma:
Name it. As I said before, I'll do anything in
my power to address it.▼

Saizo:
Then I'll be frank.▼

I want you to do whatever you deem
necessary without worrying about me.▼

Ryoma:
...Is there something you believe you
can't discuss with me, Saizo?▼

Saizo:
Not quite.▼

You said before that you don't think I'm
paid properly.▼

But from my perspective, I'm very well
compensated.▼

Ryoma:
Really? It's not easy to make ends meet
on a military salary...▼

Saizo:
I'm not talking about the financial end
of things.▼

Ryoma:
But what else could you be referring to?▼

Saizo:
My heart.▼

Certainly, a ninja's work is not easy.
And never pretty.▼

I think that's what gives you pause.▼

Though as prince, you needn't give it a
thought if you don't want to.▼

Ryoma:
But it's normal to consider the well-being
of my subjects. Especially my retainers.▼

Saizo:
You call it normal, but it is not common.▼

The great ninja who have borne the Saizo
name pass into legend.▼

Samurai boast that they will die for a truly
honorable master, but so too will a ninja.▼

To know ourselves and to serve a master
who knows us is our greatest calling.▼

For your part, simply continue to walk the
path you have chosen.▼

I find no greater joy than to help you down
it from the shadows.▼

Ryoma:
Saizo...▼

Very well. I shall take your wishes to heart.▼

Your reward for your service shall be that I
walk a path that meets your expectations.▼

Is that sufficient?▼

Saizo:
Yes. I am blessed to be able to serve you.▼
