CHAPTER 63 - A Silent Battle to the Bitter End>It seems to me that kabukimono want to die out quickly.
>How come? Why is he indifferent despite being in such a difficult situation?>How can he be so calm?>Ah!>Ah, because he got permission![Effectively, Keiji is a kabukimono authorized by Hideyoshi to assert himself with anyone and anywhere.]
>Eh eh eh!>So that's the reason....I finally understand![Mitsunari thought that Keiji didn't take it into consideration precisely for that reason.]>Aha?!>You underestimate me too much.>That authorization means absolutely nothing to me.>Sigh! Enough of the chatter.>Mh?!>Hun!>So?>What do you want to do?>?!>Wh...what are you talking about?>Naturally, I'm talking about the battle!>Do you want to fight or not?!>Battle?!>Wha...>But...what's this madman saying?!>Doesn't he see my fifty ninja? The most skilled ones?!>Five...ehm...ten. So...
>...I'll take care of twenty of them!>Mh?!>Hey, Iwabe! Sutemaru!>How many do you want?>How about...>...ten to start with!>I concur...go for ten!
>Then we can sort out forty of them.>What?>Urgh!>Oh, Matsukaze!>Sorry, I forgot about you!>U...urgh...>You'll take care of the other ten. There...now that's all fifty!>What?!>But what's he talking about...? Is he losing it?!
>In a certain sense...they are deciding how many of us must fight head-on.>Keiji Maeda will face twenty of us, the other two twenty, and even the horse will fight ten. Basically, they are saying that just the four of them, including the beast, will take down all fifty of us!>Well...>T...tsk! It's impossible!>He can't kill us with two men and a horse!>Mmm...instead...I really believe that it will end as he said.[Ninja are realists. Because of this, they have no illusions or presumptions in assessing their own abilities and those of the enemy.]>Long ago, when I first saw that man in a battle of little known importance...
>...the army that he belonged to could do nothing but retreat, given the circumstances.>Away! Away!>But incredibly, Keiji offered to stay in the rearguard!>Go away all of you!>You'll never make it, Sir Keiji!>You must absolutely retreat with us!>What a bore...>Get out of here...quickly!>Here they are.>Aaahh!>You shouldn't die for something like this!>Eh eh...
>Eh eh...how stupid...>Among the battles...>...the ones without a chance of victory are the most fun!
>Urgh!>I was tired of waiting for you!>I, Keiji Maeda, will fight to the death!>My spear of command will skewer ten of you with each throw!
>Wha...>What?!>Ehe...what do you believe you can do alone?!>What a braggart! We will crush you without pity!
>Insane!...He managed to decapitate thirteen of them with just the first thrust of his spear.>His monstrous ability had immediately put the enemy army to flight. And...I'm ashamed to tell you, but even my legs were shaking with fear!>I can't believe it...>It's natural...the war surveyor's reports were annulled by Lord Toshiie Maeda, who did not get along with him.>Hey! So do you want to start or not?!>Ugh...>Lord Mitsunari...>Make a decision quickly!>If we were to risk our lives and give it our all, we may be able to defeat them!
>Oh...then bring it on!>He's truly incredible...this madman enjoys fighting!
>Ah...eh? H...hey, where's he going?!>...[Keiji has no fear of dying in battle.][Hideyoshi's favors mean nothing to a man like him. Keiji knows how to live freely and assert himself to the end.][Mitsunari isn't the leader of the governors for nothing. He immediately understood that Keiji is not the man he thought he was.][Although Mitsunari can exercise his authority only under the protection and will of Hideyoshi, he has recognized Keiji's great abilities.][Even Keiji understood the torments of Mitsunari's soul.]
>>269161465Based.>>269161504Kek, I forgot about the horse as well.
[At that moment Gessai and Fusai were in Jurakudai...][At the Noh theatre pavilion...]Translator's Note #3 - Noh is a minimalistic and very old genre of Japanese theatrical dance drama, dating back to the 1300s. Noh theatre is still performed to this day.>...>Yawn...
>>269161544Love the way his head turns in the lower right panel. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
>Sigh...[Chacha, Hideyoshi's concubine][Chacha was Hideyoshi's most beloved concubine. About six months after the events narrated here, she moved to Yodo Castle, and became known as Yodogimi. Chacha was the daughter of Nagamasa Asai, the Castellan of Oumi Kotani, and Oichi, the younger sister of Oda Nobunaga. It was said that the noble blood inherited from Nobunaga attracted a lot of attention from Hideyoshi. In a short time, among all the concubines of noble origins, there was never anyone able to surpass her.]>I'm tired of waiting for Goheita...>I can't wait to see Goheita's dance...>Someone go and urge him.>Y...>...yes, immediately!
>Goheita!>What are you doing?! Lady Chacha is tired of waiting for you!>Ah!>?!>Aaahh!
>Iiiih!>Goheita...is dead...>Eh?!>Someone is playing the drum...>Ugh...>But then...who's the one that's dancing?!
>>269161717I always love how clean the cuts look.
Chapters 64 and 65 tomorrow.
>>269161829>[Even Keiji understood the torments of Mitsunari's soul.]I don't get it.
>>269151815>Been a while since a chapter ended without an environment shot.That's true, Hara probably ran out of time that week.
>>269162081Thx mate.
>>269162121I think Mitsunari wants to fight Keiji, but Mitsunari doesn't want to waste the lives of his ninja. Mitsunari isn't free to do what he wants like Keiji. Mitsunari needs his ninja while he's searching for Ofu in Nagiri, in case the Fūma ninja start another attack.
