@yeonban said: "thanks for believing in me." It's rare for Naotora to be this open to someone that isn't Tatsuomi or Naoe, but the Uesugi have become more of a second home than a simple allied clan to him & it's Kuroko who's repeatedly put her trust in him for the plans she's drawn up - or even centered them around his help entirely, at times. That alone requires more trust than half of his own nobles have ever put in him, and he's grateful for it.
It isn't terribly often she finds it to be just her and Naotora outside of a brief moment here or there. This is more extended, although she doesn't put too much attention towards it. Not until he speaks up first, earning her entire attention not simply by speaking, but by the words that were given to her.
Kuroko knew her clan and its allies relied on her and were thankful for her work. But in some ways, it became expectation. They expected success after success from her, which she was happy to deliver. Yet such blatantly thankful words were seldom heard by her. More often than not it was That's our strategist! or similar phrases, or agreements to do as she instructed. Nothing like thank you for believing in me.
It's a sad phrase.
It's also one she's said in the past. It is one she still holds close to her heart, always thankful for the trust people give her. They rest their lives in her hand and entrust her to guide them.
Kuroko bows her head slightly in both acknowledgement and respect. " And I to you. It is only thanks to you that some of the plans have been a success. " All true words she thinks he deserving to know ( albeit of course she had alternative plans ) , but she also accepts his own words rather than brush them off. It is not always so easy to say words of thanks. " You're welcome. You're a good man, and dependable. I know it cannot always be easy, that which you carry. But you have people who do believe in you. " She tilts her head slightly, a small smile resting on her lips. " Myself included, of course. And I will continue to do so. "

Emerald Kishin (Ryokushoku Kishin)
“Housenryuuya matanoorochi”
Within the hundred remaining Kishin on hi no moto, this is the fifth strongest.
Musashi and friends wait for the emerald kishin, one of the strongest class!
If the red Oni’s offensive is to spit out flames,
The green Oni is the opposite. This is a defensive Oni who controls a unique defense wall.
The ability of that wall is absolute…
Page 456
He bounces back any attack to the enemy. He reflects all the “touki” high signal that comes out from the kitetsu swords of the bushi too.
Bushi: Let’s fire all at once!!
Page 457
The strongest wall becomes the strongest spear at the same time.
And breaking its horn…There hasn’t been a single bushidan in 150 years able to even make a scratch on his skin.
Page 458
Tsugumi: No way! No way! Absolutely no way!!!
Tsugumi: There’s no way we can go against that sort of monster!!
Uesugi Bushidan
Shiryuu castle, main gate.
Picture:
Castle
Gate
(arrow: more less this size) harbor.
Man: All of you, members form the alliance have accepted the strategy to recover Awaji Island. The preparations for your temporary residence in this castle have been completed! Bring your servants and come inside the castle!
Page 459
Musashi: He said we can go inside the castle, right?
Tsugumi: We can’t! If we follow them past the gates, we’ll be dragged into the war!
Kojirou: Right now getting information is our main goal above the Oni extermination.
Musashi: But he’s surely inside this castle, right? Lord Uesugi…
Manuscript: So high…
Tsugumi: Woah, the castle tower is so far that is beyond the clouds…
Page 460
Musashi: that’s right Tsugumi…
Get me over there using your whip kitetsu sword!
I can ask about the old man if I go for a little bit.
Tsugumi: Are you stupid? There’s no way I can get you to a place so high!
Tsugimi: Well… I can do it until the roof of this wall.
Musashi: That’s alright, I’ll look around inside the castle first.
Kojirou: Come back without starting any trouble…
Tsugumi: Well then…
Page 461
Tsugumi: See you later! (whisper)
Musashi: Oof, this is inside the castle of the Uesugi Bushidan…
Musashi: Woahh… Incredible!
Page 462, 463
Page 464
Musashi: What’s this… huge castle!?
Musashi’s thoughts: Well… more than a castle… in truth is a mountain!
Musashi: I wonder what kind of people lives in this place…
Man: A fine castle, right?
Musashi: Eh?
Page 465
Musashi: A tattooed man… who is he?
Musashi: ….
Tatsuomi: …
Page 466
Musashi’s thoughts: is he sunbathing or….?
Manuscript: He seems old…
Musashi: Yeah, it’s great…
In the Uesugi castle…
Musashi: I know there are many bushi…
Tatsuomi:….
Tatsuomi: bushi, you say
Tatsuomi: All of them have families waiting for them to come back…
A wife, children, parents, siblings…
The living proof of those unbreakable ties
Page 467
Tatsuomi: I came here before the battle to confirm it…
Musashi: You don’t seem to be a simple hermit, mister.
Tatsuomi: Well…
Page 468
Musashi: Are you a bushi, mister?
Tatsuomi: Kind of… Are you a bushi?
Musashi: yeah
Tatsuomi: How old are you?
Musashi: I’m 15!
Tatsuomi: I see…
Tatsuomi: I don’t want to…
Tatsuomi: Send young bushi like you to the land of the death without regret.
Page 469
Tatsuomi: But this time we’ll go against a tough enemy…
Well then, I need to get going…
Musashi: This man…
Musashi: There’s something about him… I really don’t think he’s a simple hermit…
Who the hell is he..?
Musashi: Eh?
Naoe: You were here after all…
Naoe: Everyone is waiting for your words, my lord.
Tatsuomi: I’ll go now
Musashi: What? Did you say… Lord…
Manuscript: no way….
Page 470
Naoe: Wait for your turn to speak…
This person is the head of the Uesugi family, Lord Uesugi Tatsuomi.
Musashi: … What?
Musashi: HE IS!?
Naoe: Didn’t I tell you to wait?
Musashi: Oops, I’m sorry!
Tatsuomi: I don’t mind… if he’s a bushi from the alliance then he’s from my family too!
Musashi: Huh…? He’s surprisingly nice, that’s great! Thought I was told he was a harsh guy…
Musashi: There’s something I want to ask you…
Naoe: Oh, my lord… This person is…
Page 471
Naoe: Not from the alliance.
Naoe: He’s one of the suspicious people. Lord Takeda insisted that he’s his subordinate, or his relative… but to me, no matter how hard I look…
Noe: I see an outsider with no relation to Takeda…
Box1: redhead
Box2: Dirty looking clothing uncharacteristic of bushi households.
Naoe: You, tell us what castle you belong to, what corps, what sword color, what rank… answer now!
Musashi: What!? Rank!?
Musashi: What the hell… I don’t understand a thing! Is this bushidan terminology?
If I don’t answer, they’ll know I don’t have any relation to Naotora!
Musashi: Hum… ehm…
Page 472
Musashi: L-Lord Uesugi?
Musashi: He’s totally different from before!!
Naoe: So you are an outsider. Trespassing the castle is by law a crime which its punishment is death penalty, but lord Takeda seems to favour him…
Naoe: What should we do, my lord?
Tatsuomi: SEND HIM TO THE LABOR CAMP.
Musashi: The labor camp?
Manuscripts: What’s that?
Tatsuomi’s attitude changed suddenly! What will happen to Musashi!!?
Continues on the next Issue “Hell”
