Part 5


Emperor Inkara shouts for Benaui, who steps forward and says he is there. Inkara says the 
rebel army was to be suppressed at once, and asks if he has really failed. Benaui says 
yes, that his power was unable to accomplish the task, and he deeply apologizes. Inkara 
says his apologies won't change the problem, they just ran away like an animal with its 
tail between its legs when up against such ignorant people. He'll strike back at them so 
they will know his greatness and quake in fear this time.  

Benaui says that the unrelated are villages aren't at fault, and still support their 
country. Inkara says that by occupying them it will show what will happen to those that 
dare to oppose him, and what difference does a village or two make, and he's had 
difficulties due to Benaui's worthlessness. He then calls for Nuwangi, who enters, and 
Inkara tells him he is going to entrust him as the general of the Omutsikeru (Samurai-type 
warriors), he only has to do as he says. Benaui says "As you wish" to this new order and 
leaves as Nuwangi laughs.

Outside the main chambers, Nuwangi stops Benaui and Kurou. He says that according to the 
rumor, his followers are not fighting hard, and if he has gradually lost his edge. Kurou 
gets mad and says "What did you say?!" raising his hand to hit Nuwangi. Nuwangi asks what 
he is going to do with that hand, surely someone of his position would not strike the new 
Omutsikeru general. Kurou asks then if he should nicely escort him out then. Benaui tells
Kurou to stop, and Nuwangi asks if he thinks this will be settled so easily. Benaui says
that his subordinate is very sorry, he seems to act like a trouble-making child often, and
that he did not think suitably of the Omutsikeru general, and to forgive them. Nuwangi
says that they should be careful where they step, and Benaui says he will take that 
advice, and wishes to express their gratitude. Nuwangi then leaves.

Kurou says he can't believe that a hoodlum like Nuwangi has been made a general of the 
Omutsikeru warriors, and at most he should only be a head of common foot-soldiers. 
Benaui says he guesses so, and Kurou says that surely the Omutsikeru see his lack of 
ability. Benaui says no, that even if he is a hoodlum as Kurou says, a group of people 
will follow without understanding. He says there seems to be a shadow within Nuwangi's 
eyes, and Kurou says that it is like Benaui to think too much. Benaui says one could 
assume that Nuwangi had his hand on that village, and Kurou's face turns angry, saying 
"It can't be..." Benaui says that is only speculation, and they have other things to be 
doing. He tells Kurou to go report on the situation of the war, and with a "Yes sir!" he 
heads off.

[Visit outside]

Teoro's voice can be heard saying, "Hey, walk faster." A man with a weapon held at his 
back says it hurts, he's walking and to please not thrust so much. Eruruu and Hakuoro 
approach, and Eruruu asks what is going on. Teoro says they've arrested this suspicious 
man, and Hakuoro questions, "Suspicious man?" Teoro said he looked very restless and was 
wandering around and searching nearby. The man said he only came there peddling, and 
Teoro asks why the sneaky behavior if that's the case. He said it seemed like a nice 
place and he only wanted to stay at the inn, and he didn't think he had to notify anyone 
when the person on watched changed. He only wanted a warm bed, but now has been arrested. 
He says to please forgive him, as he's only there on business and they can search him if 
they like. 

Hakuoro says that if he's a merchant, what are his dealings. The man says he can handle 
pretty much any service that one could request, except for the selling of slaves. Most 
commonly he sells medicine though, and he shows them his wares. Eruruu looks surprised 
when she sees a medicine called Mapottei. The man says she knows what it is and Hakuoro 
says it is because she's a healer. He asks if they'd want it, as it cannot be obtained in 
the back woods. Hakuoro asks what it is for, and Eruruu gets flustered. Teoro asks if she 
doesn't know, and she says of course she knows, so he wonders why she won't say. The man 
says that it is the treasure of an animal, Herapetta, that lives in the sea, and that it's 
an energy medicine. Teoro asks if it is effective, and the man says that it can keep your 
partner from sleeping all night. Teoro laughs at this and says they should get a trial, 
and Eruruu bonks him several times. The man turns to Hakuoro and asks if he'd like it, and 
he says no, it's fine.

Hakuoro then tells him that this is a place of battle, and he should leave at once, 
because if he stays he could get involved. The man says he must be joking, and then asks, 
"Is this lovely girl your daughter?" He says "This girl?" and then Aruruu jumps onto him. 
The man says she is really very cute and asks if she'd like some candy. She stays silent 
and Hakuoro says not to take offense, she is extremely shy around strangers. The man says 
is that so, and for Hakuoro to say this is a place of battle must be a joke, to have such 
a sweet girl living there. Hakuoro says it is no joke, even though the girls there are 
in good spirits, and the man should leave, because he doesn't want an unrelated person 
involved.

A little time passes, and the man says he's sorry for troubling them by asking for food 
and water. Hakuoro says he will need it for his journey. The man expresses his gratitude, 
and says he will give Hakuoro a little advice. Hakuoro says "Advice?" and the man says 
yes, and then Hakuoro's vision turns to black and white -- a cold chill pierces up his 
backbone, and the air feels frozen around him. The man says he is careless, and if he were 
an assasin, Hakuoro would already be dead. He tells Hakuoro not to move, and then pulls 
apart his cane, revealing a blade inside. Hakuoro asks if he is going to murder him, and 
the man says no, as he said before, he's just giving him a little advice. 

Suddenly Hakuoro's vision goes back to color, and the man is asking if Aruruu will draw 
back because he hasn't done anything -- standing over him is a growling Mukkuru beside 
Aruruu. The man says he should leave now and in a flash of white, is suddenly gone. 
Hakuoro is confused, having not even seen him run away. Aruruu jumps up on him and he 
tells her not to worry, but inside he continues to worry about the strange man. 

~~~~~

That night the man meets with Benaui outside the village. Benaui thanks the man, 
Chikinaro, for his troubles. Chikinaro says that Hakuoro is quite an interesting person. 
Benaui questions "Interesting?" and Chikinaro says that he has a sort of charm, and though 
one couldn't see it, his charm is unavoidable. Benaui gives him his payment as promised, 
and Chikinaro thanks him. He gives Benaui his report and tells him here are the detailed 
contents, and asks him to look it over, then leaves. Benaui repeats "That man's charm..." 
to himself.

~~~~~

In the main meeting house, the chief of Wakkai village tells Hakuoro his people wish 
to join the movement. Hakuoro tells him that if they wish to join under their 
jurisdiction, they will have to swear on their blood to follow their instruction, and 
those that can't are not wanted. The chief says of course, and that he has brought his 
most powerful men as proof, and tells Hakuoro to please make use of them. Hakuoro thanks 
him and says he shall.

Some time passes, and Eruruu comes to tell Hakuoro that four villages have joined with 
them: Yutafu, Epukara, San, and Wakkai. Teoro says it is probably only because of the 
unrelated village that was attacked. Sopoku goes up to him and hits him, telling him to 
keep quiet and not be such a fool. 

Oboro enters and says they have returned. Hakuoro says that is good, as everyone must hear
his plans. A map is shown of the allied villages against the empire, and he says this is 
the progress of the battle so far. He says that there are some obstructive barriers to 
making the battle progress advantageous. He points at a specific area of the map, and 
says in particular, the gate at Tatokori. He says if they strike there, they can divide 
the village and it is possible with cooperation to use it to their advantage. The gate 
is used as a toll gate and therefore isn't very strong, but to recklessly plunge all the 
reinforcements into an attack would cause trouble, because then the enemy would be able to 
tell their intention. He shows two battle points to either side of Tatokori on the map, 
and says that two groups will attack at these points as a decoy to separate out the 
strength of the enemy troops, while then their main unit will slip in and take Tatokori's 
gate. He tells them they will carry out the plan the next morning. 

~~~~~

A bell sounds and Hakuoro's troops disperse out to the two battle locations. 

Kurou and two soldiers are riding along the plain, and Kurou curses that they've run into 
such a troublesome area, where the foothold is bad and it's harder to move. Suddenly 
arrows shoot out at them from the sides, but they block them. Kurou tells them to come out 
of hiding, and another arrow is shot at him, which he easily blocks with his sword, and he 
says that it's depressing.

Benaui's voice is then heard saying to stay calm. He rides in with two more soldiers. 
Kurou says that he understands, but is getting irritated. Benaui says he honestly is 
surprised that the enemy is in this location. Kurou replies that he believes it is a 
large force, and Benaui says that it has extended the force and he's surprised such a 
command was taken. He says that usually with a rapid expansion of troops, then the 
soldiers become a disorderly crowd, but their movement appears skilled, and that men not 
notified of the battle could not have that sort of behavior. Kurou then says it must be 
the rebel army of that man, and Benaui says "Hakuoro..." Benaui tells him to not take it 
seriously, that the intention itself is naive. Kurou says that however, even though they 
are running from place to place, they are really inclined to fight. 

Benaui thinks on this, and then says he now sees it, that all of them are decoys. Kurou 
says surely not that whole force could be a decoy, and Benaui says they may have another 
objective, and this is a feint to keep them looking away. Kurou curses and says they've 
been deceived. Benaui thinks of what they are doing, by making such a large-scale action 
a decoy, and then realizes that by doing so a small minority at the most is what would be 
needed to take down the gate. He yells out "Tatokori's gate!" and says they may still have 
enough time. 

Benaui turns his white Woputaru around and calls out that it appears the enemy is trying 
to take Tatokori's gate, and for everyone to take a rear pincer-attack and annihilate 
them at once. He rides off and Kurou says "Yes sir!" and tells the others to go get those
guys, and they follow after Benaui. 

As Benaui is riding, he thinks to himself how Hakuoro did this, and they have discovered
about the decoy a little too soon, and now with the way things are going, Hakuoro will be 
at his end. 

~~~~~

Eruruu walks up to Hakuoro and says that right on schedule, the decoy attacks have 
started. Hakuoro says now is the right time, and Eruruu says "Um..." Hakuoro asks her what 
it is, and she turns her head to the side, saying that once again, people are going to 
die. Hakuoro says yes, and looks at her standing there silently. He tells her that she 
should leave, but she shakes her head. He says if that is so, then for her to not separate 
from him. She says yes and he yells, "Depart for the battlefront!" 

[Battle 6 - Open Tatokori's gate]

His group charges in on Tatokori's gate. They fight against the soldiers and manage to 
open the gate, and Hakuoro thinks that soon the enemy will have realized that the other 
forces were a decoy, and then decides they have probably already noticed. He thinks of how
now he is relying on Teoro.  

Outside in the countryside, Benaui and his men are charging down the road to Tatokori, 
when up above on the cliff, Teoro starts an avalanche of rocks which fall and block off
the road below. After the rockslide Benaui calls for Kurou, not seeing him, and he calls 
out that he's there on the other side, he made it across safely. Benaui says this 
deception is going to make it very hard for them to get across, and Kurou says he will go 
alone; he is angry and won't be made the fool, and seriously wants to kill them. Benaui 
gives his consent, and Kurou rides off. 

Back at the gate, Hakuoro and his teammates continuing fighting against the soldiers at 
the gate. After a little while Kurou suddenly appears, cursing how he is late. Hakuoro 
says "You are..." and Kurou says he is Kurou, and to remember it. Oboro exclaims "How did 
that man...!?" and Kurou says "that man" is his general, and asks if they think he in 
particular has to be present. He says Oboro is the "kid" that gets heated easily and has 
little ability, and Oboro says he'd better not think that again. Kurou says to then show 
him, and starts his attack. Kurou sets in on Hakuoro, saying he's a very dangerous man, 
and that his general is the same, and until his general shows up, he is enough. Oboro 
proclaims those are just words, and attacks him. 

[Battle 6 - Defeat Kurou]

The group fights against Kurou and finally he is defeated. He says they have raised their 
abilities a bit, and that today he was at a disadvantage and will withdraw. Oboro says he 
can't just run away, and Kurou gives off a yell and swings his sword at Oboro, and with a 
clash of metal, he just barely blocks it and recoils. Kurou then says bye and takes off. 

Hakuoro says that it is finished, and it is time for them to withdraw for the day, and 
they successfully held out together against the opposition, though there is no change in 
their conquest. 

~~~~~

Emperor Inkara yells for Benaui, who enters at his calling. He says how dare he show his 
impudient face to him, after running back like an animal dragging its tail. Benaui starts 
to say that it was to the best of his ability, when Inkara says that Nuwangi has gained 
control over Chenma. Benaui says the villagers of Chenma did not join the rebellion, 
and Sasante laughs and says it is best to pick the sprout of evil when it is small, and 
as an example and warning to others, they were eliminated. Benaui's face turns sour and 
he asks Inkara if he understands what he has done. Inkara says that what he does, is to 
be done his way. Benaui protests saying that the basis of a country is its people, and 
and there will be no country if the people consisting of it are eliminated, and there is
no tomorrow for a country that neglects its own people. Inkara says he is the one to say 
there is no tomorrow, and Benaui says because his lordship says so, then it is so. 

Inkara says he has had enough, and so far he has pardoned Benaui's words because of his
distiguished military service, but now he is shameless and ungrateful and he isn't going 
to endure it any longer. Inkara calls out for his men, and a soldier steps forward. He 
tells him to take Benaui to the jail. The soldier starts to say "But..." and Inkara
asks if he wishes to not do as he says, and the soldier stutters that isn't the case.

Nuwangi enters and tells Inkara that they are excellent words. Inkara asks if he really 
thinks so, and Nuwangi says that of course, they are the words of the Great Emperor and 
his uncle. He shouts at the soldier to quickly bind this person of humble rank, unless he 
wishes to join him. The soldier says yes and does as told. Nuwangi tells his uncle to 
leave the situation to him, so that the can have some peace of mind. Inkara agrees and 
says he will leave it to Nuwangi. 

Nuwangi takes Benaui down to the dungeons. He laughs, telling Benaui it is now his end, 
but Benaui remains coldly silent. Nuwangi says that he'd be a fool to talk back to him, 
it's over for him and now he's in charge, and then shoves him into the dried food storage 
room and locks him in. He thinks to himself about how it is almost time, soon Eruruu will 
be his and he will take the Imperial throne, and no one will defy his absolute power. To 
him, there is only her, and he will do anything to obtain her, anything. He breaks out 
into more laughter. 

Nuwangi walks outside, rising up on the steps to speak out to the army. He says it has 
finally been accomplished, they are now his army. He says he will defeat anyone who is a 
hindrance, anyone, and sounds out the bells of attack.

~~~~~

In the meeting building back in Hakuoro's village, Dorii and Guraa step forward, saying 
they have come with a report. The enemy's march has been confirmed, with approximately
1,200 men. Hakuoro repeats "1,200..." and people all around can be heard murmuring. Oboro
says it sounds like they plan to destroy their whole army in one blow. Hakuoro says it is 
daring behavior to move the whole army at once, and that he thought Benaui was a much more
careful man. Dorii tells him that Nuwangi is the enemy's general. Eruruu looks concerned
at hearing this, and Hakuoro says "I see."

Teoro asks Hakuoro what they should do. Hakuoro says that with a large army at once, they
need a way to unexpectedly reduse their numbers, especially since the difference in 
numbers between themselves and the enemy is large, and would therefore have a large 
effect. Hakuoro says that however, they have made a mistake because they are slow-moving
and have chosen to attack there. He says that a group is to make a detour from the west 
gate, and then strike at the enemy from the rear. He says the Perierai (archers) are to 
be backing to the left and right, and the main unit will defend the main gate until the
enemy is in place. 

He tells everyone to depart for the battlefront. 

~~~~~

[Battle 7 - Hold back the enemy forces for a fixed amount of time]

Hakuoro and his allies stand on the bridge in front of the main gate to the village. 
Hakuoro says the enemy is coming, and they need to hold them off right around the bridge, 
and to not go out too much.  

The soldiers start to slowly come pouring in, but they hold ground on the bridge, keeping
the enemy from crossing. Nuwangi comes into the area and notes how unexpectedly stubborn
they are being, but they'll have them soon. Hakuoro says it is now time, and a soldier
comes up to Nuwagi telling him that they have been encircled. Nuwangi curses and says he 
can see that, and punches the soldier. When he tries to ask why he punches him again and 
tells him to shut up, then hits him again and says they are going to have to retreat and 
rebuild the situation. A soldier asks where they are to run away to, and Nuwangi says 
they aren't running away, they are just recovering the situation, and to penetrate through
the rear forces. The soldier says to do so now, there will be much damage, and Nuwangi 
says they are going to take even more damage staying there. Nuwangi orders them to go, 
to break through at once.

Hakuoro then gives the order "Position steel!" and soldiers come forward out of the main 
gate, archers behind them. Then he says "Position spears!" and their Woputaru lancers, 
with archers behind them, come out from the sides. Nuwangi's men take off in a mad dash, 
and he asks where they are going and to wait, but he is left there. Nuwangi starts to get
angry, and then sees Eruruu standing with Hakuoro and his men, and starts fuming, saying 
that it's all because of Hakuoro, and he will kill him no matter what.

[Battle 7 - Defeat Nuwangi]

They fight Nuwangi, and as Hakuoro attacks, Nuwangi says he will get rid of him, and 
Hakuoro tells him victory is already theirs and to give up. Nuwangi tells him to shut 
up, that he is the one that gives the orders. Overpowered, Nuwangi is defeated, and 
Dorii and Guraa say that the enemy has withdrawn. Hakuoro says they have already won, 
and to not chase after them.

They capture Nuwangi and bring him into the city. Nuwangi asks about his army, and Teoro 
says in the end they all deserted him. Nuwangi starts laughing, and tells them to kill 
him. Oboro unsheathes his blades and tells Nuwangi to prepare himself, and then Hakuoro 
tells him to stop.

Eruruu comes forward. Nuwangi tells her to go ahead and laugh at him, since she has a 
grudge against him over her grandmother. She hits him and calls him an idiot, and asks why
he doesn't understand. She says that things like beautiful clothes, fancy ornaments, and 
a luxerious life were not things necessary for her. Even if they are poor it is okay, 
everyone lives together happily. She asks if he has completely forgotten those times in 
the past, and says that she liked the clumsy, unsophisticated, and gentle Nuwangi of back 
then. She starts crying, and says he really is a fool. 

Nuwangi says he only wants to be with her, and see her happiness. She says now, there is 
no happiness. He asks what he can do. She is silent for a moment, then comes forward and 
unties him. She says there is no good in holding resentment, and doesn't want to have 
a grudge. He looks at her silently, and she says goodbye.

~~~~~

That night, Nuwangi is traveling alone outside of the village, thinking about what 
happened. He says to himself that he is going to request a stop put to this war, and do 
what he can to stop it, because that is the least he can do for her. Then an arrow comes
out of the darkness and strikes him, and he falls. 

A voice says that it looks like they have found a rare jewel. Another voice says not to 
think like that, they only want the thing taken from them returned. The first voice says 
talk is idle, and to help strip him or they'll decrease the share. The second person 
notes that he is still alive, and then the first person recognizes him as the Omutsikeru 
general, and that his neck probably has a big reward on it with the rebel army, and then 
they can say goodbye to their current life. 

Nuwangi starts to regain consciousness, murmuring "Eruruu...", when he is beheaded by 
the strangers.

~~~~~

The map of the country of Kenashikourube. The enemy force, having received such a 
harsh blow has lost control, and Hakuoro's army has now expanded its power into a crushing
force. The small green section of the map representing Hakuoro's forces expands over the 
map, swallowing up the red forces of the enemy. The superiority and inferiority has become
clear, and not only villages, but also some feudal lords and powerful clans have come 
together to fight on Hakuoro's side.

It is night, and Kurou sneaks down into the dungeons and opens up Benaui's cell, saying 
he has come to get him. Benaui asks him what the progress of the war is. Kurou says their 
army that was being run by Nuwangi has been defeated, in many places completely 
annihilated. He says as for Nuwangi himself, he's been killed but the circumstances of how
are unknown. The rebel army is massing its troops and quickly approaching the capital. 
Benaui asks what the Emperor is doing, and Kurou says he is in the middle of having his 
hair done, that recently a lot has been falling out, making him furious, and he has said 
he does not wish to be disturbed. 

Benaui says he sees, then orders that the whole army depart for the battlefront. Kurou 
asks if he thinks that is such a good idea. Benaui says that the collapse of the country 
may already be inevitable, but for now they must defend their country. He says he is still 
this country's Omutsikeru general, and has an obligation to his country. He tells Kurou
to go tell all the soldiers, and that if the situation becomes that they are outnumbered,
they are to surrender at once. He then says they should go, this will be the last fight.

~~~~~

Hakuoro and his allies arrive in the capital, finding Kurou in their path on the other 
side of the street. He says that finally they have showed up, he was growing tired of 
waiting. Soldiers step out from around the houses, and Kurou and his forces begin an 
attack. 

[Battle 8 - Defeat Kurou]

They fight, and Kurou says he will not let them pass, and Oboro says that if he won't 
let them pass, then they'll just knock him down. 

Hakuoro and his friends defeat Kurou and his men. Wounded, Kurou sits on the ground, 
saying that he has been defeated. He says to go ahead and get on with it, and makes a 
motion of chopping his head off by bringing the side of his hand down on the back of his 
neck. Hakuoro says that sort of thing is not needed. Kurou says it is the proper etiquette 
of a soldier to carry out taking the head of the enemy. Hakuoro says unfortunately, they 
aren't soldiers, and therefore a soldier's etiquette is not necessary. Kurou says that if 
he somehow survives, he could stab them in the back later, and Hakuoro says Kurou thinks 
only as a man that follow's the soldier's ettiquete.

Hakuoro tells everyone to go, and they start to leave, passing by Kurou. On his way out,
Oboro stops in front of Kurou and says that even if he wants to die so badly, he'd better 
not kill himself. Eruruu and Aruruu are then the only ones to leave, but Eruruu stops in 
front of Kurou. He asks her what it is, and she tells him not to move, so she can treat 
the wound. Kurou says she shouldn't trust him, he could easily turn her into a hostage 
with her getting so close. She says she does not want to see him die. He is silent, and 
she heals him. She says she is finished, and he thanks her. She leaves, and he mumbles 
under his breath how he really did fail the general. Aruruu and Mukkkuru come up to him
and he asks her what she wants. She says that the wound heals when it is licked. Mukkuru 
smiles, and starts licking the wound, and Kurou screams, saying the tongue hurts, smelling
of blood and meat and burning the wound. 

~~~~~

Inside the palace, Inkara asks what all the noise is, how dare his nap be interrupted. 
There is a large boom outside, and he looks outside to see Hakuoro's men trashing the 
capital. He asks when this happened, and Benaui enters and says the rebel army has just 
broken the castle gate, and it will only be a matter of time now until they fall.

Inkara asks what Benaui is doing there, and what happened to Nuwangi. Benaui says that
regrettably, Nuwangi was defeated in the previous battle, but his whereabouts are still 
unknown. Inkara says he was a good-for-nothing, and orders a wholesale slaughter, to 
exterminate the dirty enemy quickly. Benaui says they cannot be stopped by his army, and
that surrendering is only a matter of time. Inkara says "What?!" as clumps of his hair
start falling out. He says they just need to go stabbing person after person and his army
will be victorious in the end. Benaui makes a sour face and says then he will have all his 
soldiers die, and Inkara says it is their job to lay down their lives for him, and to go 
to it quickly. Benaui says "As you wish..." and leaves.

~~~~~

Hakuoro and his men approach the castle. Benaui stands on the front steps, and Hakuoro 
asks if he has been waiting for them. Oboro runs up to him and Hakuoro tells him to wait, 
but he ignores him and lets out a battle cry, attacking Benaui, who blocks it with his 
spear and sends Oboro recoiling from the block. Hakuoro tells Oboro to step back, but 
Oboro says that this man is his catch. Benaui says that he's a hindrance, and to step 
back, his fun playing with him has already ended, and tells them to retreat. Oboro gets 
mad at hearing "playing" and says "Who's playing?! Don't make fun of me!" Hakuoro tells 
him again to step back, and Oboro refuses, saying Benaui is his. Hakuoro angrily tells 
Oboro again, and finally, with much effort and a grit of his teeth, Oboro says he 
understands and steps back.

Benaui says they have finally come here, and Hakuoro tells him to please surrender. 
Benaui says it is regrettable, but refuses. Benaui asks Hakuoro if he will tell him just 
one last thing, and asks him just who exactly Hakuoro is. Hakuoro says "What?" and Benaui 
smiles, and then says no, he doesn't want to hear it. 

A bunch of soldiers then come out of the castle to back up Benaui, and he says this is 
the end. Hakuoro says "Let's go!" and they engage into battle. 

[Battle 9 - Defeat Benaui]

They start to fight, and Hakuoro comments it is Benaui's nature to continue, and Benaui 
affirms this, as long as there is hope for the emperor. Hakuoro says that though he says 
that it is his belief, he seems reluctant. 

Oboro attacks Benaui and Benaui asks if he's raised his abilities a little, and Oboro 
says he'll confirm it for him, and Benaui remarks he can't allow to go easy on him today, 
and Oboro says "Very good!" 

The fight continues until Benaui is finally defeated. At his defeat he turns and runs into
the palace, and Oboro says to wait, he can't run away. Hakuoro tells Oboro not to follow 
him. Oboro tries to protest, but Hakuoro says he may not chase him, and then wonders about 
Benaui.

~~~~~

Inside the castle, Inkara is grumbling, when he hears something and demands for whomever
it is to come out. He wonders why no one is there, and calls again for them to come out.
Finally someone enters and it is Benaui, who says he has come to see him. Inkara says he 
has been waiting, and asks for the progress of the battle, of course his army is 
victorious. Benaui says he is sorry to inform him that they have been defeated. Inkara
says "What?!" and Benaui says that at this point in the battle, there is no way to 
overturn things, it is only a matter of time before they gather inside. 

Inkara says he can't believe they'd fail, and calls for defense, but Benaui says there 
isn't any, everyone has surrendered. The only left remaining are himself and the Emperor.
Inkara says he has been betrayed, and there is a loud explosion outside. Inkara says he's
going to hurry and run away, and Benaui asks him where he is going to run away to, as they 
are completely surrounded. Benaui says that perhaps they will put his head on public 
display at his sentencing. Inkara asks how this could become of him, and Benaui says he 
did things like that often because he liked things being done his way. Benaui says it will 
be soon, but he's sure that with the sort of dying pride an emperor has, he probably 
doesn't want to let that happen, and asks if he instead wishes to do hara-kiri, and he 
will assist him.

Inkara asks how he'd dare say such a thing when he swore loyalty to him, and Benaui says 
that he did not swear loyalty to him, but to their country. He says he wishes peace and 
prosperity for their country, and he took pride in that as his mission. He said he 
followed the Emperor because it was essential to keep peace, even if temporary. With the 
suppression to the rebel army, the war there will stop, and they have already sacrificed 
too many. Now, maybe their country will be led by a good person in confidence. He says 
that now, for their country's tomorrow and happiness, they must disappear.

Inkara says he does not want to die yet, there are still wonderful things to eat, and 
beautiful things to play with, why should he meet such a fate when he is not a bad 
person. Benaui is silent for a moment and then asks if he really has not noticed how he 
brought their country to ruin, even now when it is too late. He yells no and Benaui says 
he should look at his ugly behavior, and that in the end, the emperor should bravely die. 
Inkara shouts "No!" over and over, and Benaui says there is no way, and it will be assumed 
his last honorable duty to send him off by his own hand. He says to pass in peace at this 
moment, and then stabs Emperor Inkara, killing him.

Shortly after, Hakuoro and his allies enter the throne room. Benaui says that as they can 
see, the emperor is dead. Hakuoro says "You..." and Benaui says that after this, the 
country will rely on him. He then puts his sword to his throat but Hakuoro knocks it away.
Benaui asks if he is not allowed to die, and Hakuoro says it seems to be his nature to run 
away selfishlessly, and he has to ascertain his responsibility to the end. Benaui asks if 
he is then to live in disgrace, and Hakuoro tells him that is right. Benaui says he 
understands, and respects Hakuoro. 

Hakuoro says it is finally able to end, after such a painful time. He says they must 
return, and to return together, and Eruruu says yes. Oboro reports that everyone is 
waiting outside, and they must be informed of what has happened, and Hakuoro says he will 
go for a moment to tell them.
