How fares our campaign in Vionne?|

\s[2]
Motochika-sama shows no signs of\n
surrendering, despite being outnumbered.\n
Either he's planning something, or he\n
wants to drag this out as long as possible.|

\s[6]
Knowing him, it is most likely the latter...|

\s[5]
I suspected as much. Inform Sadatoshi-san\n
to double her efforts on the coastline.|\n
There is no way Motochika-sama would risk\n
throwing his life away if he did not have\n
something hiding in the wings.|

\s[2]
Understood.|

\s[1]
What are my orders?|

\s[5]
Who are our remaining commanders here?\n
I know Sadatoshi-san and Takamoto-san but...|

\s[1]
... I believe the only remaining\n
one is Takeyoshi-san. Unfortunately.|

\s[6]
Takeyoshi-san is... reckless.|

\s[5]
And this sort of strategy relies on a delicate\n
touch. ... I hope he does not let me down.|

Motonari-sama, I--|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
No need for formalities, dear\n
sister; it's just the two of us.|

\s[2]
Ah... I suppose you are right, Motonari.|\n
Anyway, what do you suspect Motochika-sama\n
has planned? I imagine you have an idea.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
I do... Given the amount of soldiers he has\n
at his disposal, his only play is to surprise\n
us by striking us while we're in Vionne.|

\s[2]
But that would put his own life in jeopardy!|

\s[5]
Motochika-sama cares not for that. If it's a\n
gamble he has a chance to win, he'll take it.|

\s[2]
And here I thought the tactic Motoharu-san\n
used at Gobi Lake would have taken the wind\n
right out of his sails...|

\s[5]
If anything, I would guess it got him fired up.\n
Now he'll do anything he can to win this war.|

\s[2]
... What of the Sienne clan?|

\s[5]
Azai-sama's clan? You think they would\n
join this war on the side of Vionne?|

\s[2]
I mean, Motoharu-san did report that her army\n
moved to strike ours down instead of Vionne's.|

\s[5]
She must have had her reasons, but if she's\n
anything like how Asakura-sama described,\n
there's no way she would join this fight.|\n
Especially on the losing side with a reckless\n
leader at its helm.|

\s[2]
Still...|

\s[5]
I know, I must prepare for anything.\n
Inform Takeyoshi-san
