\s[5]
Ah, Keiji, there you are.\r[2] We never\n
got around to finishing our conversation.|

\s[2]
Conversation? What are you\n
referring to, Azai-sama?|

\s[5]
Regarding the disappearance of you\n
as well as my husband four years ago.|

\s[2]
... Ah. There was a lot that transpired.\n
Like I mentioned before, though, we were\n
ambushed in Entholia by unnamed soldiers.|\n
Most likely, they were Entholian with\n
their emblems stripped to remove any\n
implications of Lady Yoshimoto.|

\s[5]
... So there is no proof of her involvement.|

\s[2]
I'm afraid not. What I can tell you\n
is that Asakura-sama met with her,\n
and she did not wish to ally with him.|

\s[5]
Ally with him? Wait... What was Asakura\n
trying to accomplish? He never told me\n
about trying to ally with Lady Yoshimoto.|\n
It was my understanding he was going to\n
work with Lord Nobunaga in diplomatic affairs.|

\s[2]
... I'm afraid that was a smokescreen.\n
That was not at all his true intentions.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
What!? So he lied to me... ugh... Probably\n
so I wouldn't worry about what may happen...|\n
I assume everyone on the campaign knew?|

\s[2]
It was more of a need to know basis.|\n
I was aware, as was Kageaki-sama, but I do\n
not think Akuhime-sama nor Haruhisa-san\n
knew the truth. Only the three of us.|

\s[5]
What was this big secret then, Keiji?|

\s[2]
... To remove Lord Nobunaga from power.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
Th-that... How? Don't tell me he\n
was planning on assassination...|

\s[2]
No. Well, it wasn't our goal.\n
... If anything, a last resort.|

\s[5]
So, Keiji, how much do you know\n
about Lord Nobunaga then? You must\n
know more than I do on this subject.|

\s[2]
Admittedly, I don't know all that much.\n
If I did, I would have told you once\n
we knew he was involved with Hideyoshi.|

\s[5]
Hmm... That's true. So, Asakura and\n
Uncle Kageaki must have know much more.|\n
Circling back to that, I realize I cut\n
you off when you were telling that story.|

\s[2]
Mm, I will continue then.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
Shortly after we learned that Lady Yoshimoto\n
wanted nothing to do with Asakura-sama's plan,\n
we made preparations to sail further east.|

\s[5]
Directly to Ryu?|

\s[2]
No, to p'Vardi. The next people\n
Asakura-sama planned on enlisting\n
were Lords Shingen and Kenshin.|

\s[5]
Asakura was trying to get the strongest\n
warriors the world had ever seen...|\n
Lord Nobunaga truly is that big of a threat.|

\s[2]
Indeed, given how quickly he dispatched Lady\n
Yoshimoto. It's safe to say that Asakura-sama\n
was aware of how dangerous this plan would be.|

\s[5]
That's probably why Lady Yoshimoto refused...\n
But why would she then attack you all?|

\s[2]
I'm still trying to piece that together myself.|
