- Mozu:
- There we go! It's really starting to
- simmer now.▼
- Ryoma:
- What do you have on the stove, Mozu?▼
- Mozu:
- Oh! Well, if it isn't Lord Ryoma.▼
- Right now I'm fixing some soup to warm
- all our bones.▼
- Ryoma:
- I see. It looks delicious, I must say. I didn't
- know you were a skilled cook.▼
- Mozu:
- Aw, it's nothing a prince like you ought
- to take notice of.▼
- Anyway, this is pretty much the most I can
- do to help the army out.▼
- Ryoma:
- What do you mean by that?▼
- Mozu:
- I don't have any fancy fighting moves like
- the rest of you folks...▼
- And I'm no tactician, neither.▼
- So I want to help with the things I DO
- know how to do.▼
- And that's cooking...▼
- Ryoma:
- It's an admirable stance to take, to be
- certain.▼
- But you needn't be so humble.▼
- Mozu:
- I dunno...it's just...▼
- Ryoma:
- What would you say, then, if I offered to
- train you myself?▼
- Mozu:
- What? No. No way. I couldn't—▼
- I can't be wasting your time training me,
- Lord Ryoma!▼
- You've got too much to do around the
- camp as it is!▼
- Ryoma:
- If you won't accept training, Mozu, then
- yes, you will be too weak to fight.▼
- I'm giving you an opportunity to push past
- the barrier you believe holds you back.▼
- Mozu:
- Lord Ryoma...▼
- Ryoma:
- I see strength in you, Mozu.▼
- You are the only survivor of a brutal
- attack on your village.▼
- That speaks of a fierce determination to
- survive. I believe you can be trained.▼
- Mozu:
- Even so, I... Aw, OK.▼
- I'll show you—and myself, I guess—I've got
- what it takes. Thanks, Lord Ryoma!▼
- Ryoma:
- We'll have you in fighting shape in no time.▼
- B Support:
- Ryoma:
- That's enough for now, Mozu. You've
- earned a short break.▼
- Mozu:
- *pant* *pant* Whew!▼
- I can't believe the rest of you folks train
- this hard every single day.▼
- Ryoma:
- You've nearly got the hang of it, Mozu.▼
- If anything, you're acclimating to the
- routine faster than I expected.▼
- Mozu:
- I guess I can't be that bad if you say so,
- Lord Ryoma.▼
- Ryoma:
- You'll feel the improvements start to show
- in no time, I expect.▼
- Mozu:
- This still kinda feels like a dream.▼
- Some no-name farm girl like me getting
- personal attention from the prince...▼
- Ryoma:
- That matters less than you think.▼
- Mozu:
- Huh?▼
- Ryoma:
- It doesn't matter if you're a villager or
- a nobleman, so long as you want peace.▼
- If you want it strongly enough, you could
- grow to be more powerful than myself.▼
- Mozu:
- I don't think that's gonna happen. But you
- know what? I feel like it COULD.▼
- I gotta hand it to you, Lord Ryoma. You're
- pretty persuasive when you want to be.▼
- Ryoma:
- Haha, am I? Thank you.▼
- Mozu:
- I've got a long way to go, so will you keep
- training me?▼
- Ryoma:
- Yes, of course. Whenever you want.▼
- Mozu:
- Thanks a bunch!▼
- A Support:
- Mozu:
- Hey, Lord Ryoma! You got a minute?
- I wanted to give you something...▼
- Ryoma:
- Of course, Mozu. What is it?▼
- Mozu:
- Heh, well, since you've been putting in so
- much work training me lately...▼
- I made you some soup.▼
- Ryoma:
- Oh, really? Thank you.▼
- Mozu:
- All the folks back home loved it, so you
- know it's good!▼
- Here you go! Eat up!▼
- Ryoma:
- Thank you. *slurp* *sip*▼
- Oh! This is very good. I'd rank it among
- the finest soups I've ever tasted.▼
- Mozu:
- I'm glad you like it.▼
- Ryoma:
- Like it? I'm entranced by it. This is really
- first-rate soup, Mozu.▼
- Mozu:
- Heh! I didn't think a fancy nobleman would
- have such simple tastes.▼
- Ryoma:
- Do I? Hmm.▼
- Mozu:
- I like watching people eat my cooking.▼
- Maybe if things ever get back to normal,
- I might open a restaurant or something.▼
- Ryoma:
- Mozu...▼
- Mozu:
- Oh! Sorry, was that too heavy? I didn't
- mean to bring you down.▼
- Ryoma:
- No, you just struck a chord with me. I want
- to return peace to this world as well.▼
- Mozu:
- I think that's what we all want.▼
- Ryoma:
- The fruits of your training are starting to
- show. Let's keep up the good fight, hmm?▼
- I'll do everything within my power to see
- that your wish comes true.▼
- Mozu:
- Gosh! I'd better step things up too, then!▼
- Ryoma:
- That's the spirit!▼
- S Support:
- Ryoma:
- What's cooking in the cauldron today?▼
- Mozu:
- Oh, just more of the soup I made for you
- the other day.▼
- It's a hit with the soldiers, that's for sure!▼
- I wish I knew how they found out about it...▼
- Ryoma:
- That's simple enough. I told them.▼
- Mozu:
- What?! You did?▼
- Ryoma:
- Yes. I didn't think they'd make such a
- commotion of it. I'm truly sorry.▼
- Mozu:
- No, it's not a problem.▼
- Ryoma:
- There's probably little I can do to make
- up for it now, but I'll help however I can.▼
- Mozu:
- I-I'm fine. I couldn't ask a prince for help
- with the soup...▼
- Ryoma:
- I told you that station in life doesn't matter
- to me.▼
- We're all together in this. It stands to
- reason that we'd help one another out.▼
- Mozu:
- B-but...▼
- Ryoma:
- I must say, I hope my title isn't a problem
- for you.▼
- Mozu:
- Huh?▼
- Ryoma:
- I may be the high prince of Hoshido,
- but...I'm very fond of you, Mozu.▼
- Mozu:
- What?! YOU like ME? Did I hear you right?▼
- Ryoma:
- I was touched at your passion, both in
- cooking soup and training with me.▼
- As we spent time together, it seemed
- sillier to let social standing keep us apart.▼
- Mozu:
- Even if that's true, do you really think we're
- a good match?▼
- Ryoma:
- Who's to say? I like you, Mozu.▼
- Mozu:
- Well, if it doesn't bother you, I'd be a fool
- to let it bother me, huh!▼
- I like you too, Lord Ryoma.▼
- And if I'm the one you want, I'll give you
- everything I have.▼
- Ryoma:
- I was going to offer you the same. I hope
- you'll stay by my side henceforth.▼
- Mozu:
- Wild horses couldn't drag me away!▼
