Hakuoki Drama CD - Shimabara Disturbance Track 2 English translation

Heya, I know this is late... but my eye problems continued until the symptoms got better last Tuesday, on April 2nd. Long story short, I had difficulties keeping my eyes physically open without them feeling irritated or hurting after 6pm, which really cut away my time to translate for the past two weeks as I normally translate in the evenings, which didn’t help when I was actively cutting back on my screen time while that happened. Overall, my symptoms seemed to have cleared up for the most part since I started using Hypochlorous acid as recommended by my optometrist and I have thankfully stopped needing to walk around with a damp towel everywhere for relief. 

Anyway, I decided to post these as soon as I finish them to make up for the post-less March... I’m about a quarter way through track 3 (it and track 4 are over 10min), but I already have 5 and 6 done so it hopefully won’t take too long? I’m really sorry bout that!

Also, for various reasons, I've decided not to tag the characters for the rest of this drama for the time being. I'll tag them a week after I post the last track... if I remember to. 

Anyway, enjoy! 

Hakuoki Drama CD - Shimabara Disturbance Track 2: How to use reward money

Translation by KumoriYami

(pacing footsteps)

Saito: There's no need to worry about this myself, I'll just ask Yukimura directly. Thinking this, I came to her room... 

But, how do I say this? Isn't it strange to suddenly ask “do you want a a woman’s kimono?” Or should I indirectly ask about what can be done to make her feel happy? No, but not only that there’s....

(door opens)

Saito: Ah! Yu-Yukimura! No, I wasn't doing anything. Anyway, can I have some of your time? There's something I wanted to tell you...

Saito: Nn, then, excuse me.

(door closes)

Saito: Yukimura, um, ermhm... What I'm going to say isn't important, no, not only is it a trivial matter that doesn't matter at all... Um.... 

(footsteps from outside)

Harada: Hey, Chizuru, you there?

(Door opens)

Harada: Fu... Sorry, looks like you already have a guest? 

Saito: No, it's fine, you have something to speak about?

Harada: Ah, yeah, just now, what was her name? That girl named Sen came to visit. I'm sorry, Saito, can you bring Chizuru to see her? I have to go on patrol next.

Saito: I understand. Yukimura, let’s go.

..................

Sen: Chizuru-chan, long time no see! But it actually hasn't been that long. I wanted to see Chizuru-chan quite a bit. The Shinsengumi haven't been bullying you, right? Are you okay?

Saito:....

Sen: Everyone's been treating you well? Really? You're not saying that because of this person next to you?

Saito: I’m sorry, I can’t leave.

Sen: I know that, I just wanted to hear her honest words.

Saito: Uh, hn....  

Sen: In any case, Chizuru-chan can't lie. I still remember when you came to Shimabara. Truly, you're really someone who shines the more you get polished! It was really trough after that time. There were a lot of people asking who that geisha was. Hey, would you like to come again? Kimigiku would also like to see you again, you can wear a beautiful kimono again!

Saito: A beautiful kimono... 

[recalling]

(Heisuke:  If I had a lot of money, I would give Chizuru a beautiful kimono. She was very happy!)

Saito: Sure enough, Yukimura, she...

Sen: Well, please think it about it! You're always welcome!... Now that I've seen Chizuru-can's smile, I should be going back soon. 

Saito: Ah, uh... is that okay?

Sen: Yes, although I am a bit reluctant to, I really just came to see her today. Next time, let's go out for tea and chat! See you, Chizuru-chan!

(Sen gets up[?])

Saito: Wait, it's dangerous for a woman to go/leave alone. I'll accompany you.

Sen:, No it's okay. I grew up and Kyoto and will be taking a safe road/route back. 

Saito: I have something I'd like to talk to you about. Could I please escort you? 

Sen: Something to say to me?  I understand. Then, let’s go. 

..............

(walking on a road)

Sen: How long will it be before you are all willing to let Chizuru-chan go/When will you be releasing Chizuru-chan?

Saito: That’s abrupt. 

Sen: She's confined at your headquarters from morning til night, day after day, and even though she's a young woman, she can't even dress up, She's obviously worried about her father's situation but can't go looking for him. She must be feeling very anxious.

Saito:.....

Sen: Do you understand how cruel you all are to her?

Saito; We have our own circumstances. 

Sen:....

Saito: But, what you say is understandable. 

Sen: Eh.

Saito: I did say that I wanted to speak to you. I just want Yukimura to be able to dress in a beautiful kimono/I want Yukimura to wear a beautiful kimono [can be interpreted either way]. Would it be possible to borrow a room at Shimabara? If she goes there, she’ll be able to act as a woman as she wishes to

Sen: Ah, Chizuru-chan will definitely be happy! Then, leave all the preparations to me! I'll bring out our most beautiful kimono! I also have to tell Kimigiku about this too!

Saito: No, you don't have to go to that extent. Just prepare a room...

Sen: Just escort me here. I have to go back and start preparing...!

Saito: Hey, wait... listen to what I have to say... 

(their voices fade)

Kazama: I see. It looks like this will be very interesting...

----------

My personal bias says that Saito never lets go of Chizuru cuz they get married. xD

“The imaginary world of Hayao Miyazaki in Aubusson tapestries” project has unveiled a new tapestry today. It’s the banquet scene from Spirited away where Chihiro confronts No-face, and it’s GLORIOUS.

Pictures are from Catsuka and Cité internationale de la tapisserie’s insta. You can also see it here in video (all in French sorry!), 40min has the “tombée de métier” (when weavers cut the warp threads once a tapestry is finished) and 1h08min is when they unveil it.

Aubusson manufacture project is to make 5 full size tapestries from Ghibli’s works using traditional weaving techniques.

They have already worked on Princess Mononoke, finished last year:

But the scenes I anticipate the most are coming, as they are now starting to work on Howl’s Moving Castle - especially Howl’s wizard bedroom :D

They are atm working on the cartons (weaving guide/blueprints):

Spirited Away tapestry will stay exposed in Aubusson for the moment, while Mononoke one will be shown at Opéra de Bordeaux in March, and in Musée du Quai Branly in Paris this summer ;)

Thanks if you want to answer....

This sure took me a while because, damn, I had to think a lot about each answer.

So, top 3 favorite females:

Sheryl Nome

Oikawa Tsurara

Kuchiki Rukia

Top 3 favorite males:

Gilbert Bougainvillea

Takigawa Masaki

Alphonse Elric

Top 5 Favorite animanga:

I can't really put them in the same category, so I'm gonna write down one of each.

Favorite anime movie: Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi

Favorite anime show: Heike Monogatari

Favorite manga: Tongari Boushi no Atelier

Favorite light novel: Violet Evergarden

Favorite regular novel: Mouryou no Hako

Animanga I'm currently enjoying (so far):

Yatagarasu

Hibike! Euphonium S3

Kaijuu 8-gou

Kuroshitsuji S4

Dungeon Meshi

Urusei Yatsura S2

Ookami to Koushinryou

Boku no Hero Academia S7

Tonari no Youkai-san

Bartender

Tadaima, Okaeri

Touken Ranbu Kai

Boukyaku Battery

Jii-san Baa-san Wakagaeru

The Fable

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote

Now, I'm still waiting for some stuff to air, so this isn't a complete list. Also, the last title isn't exactly one that I'm super enjoying because it's butchering the original, but I'm sticking with it because I like the franchise. I recommend the manga instead of the anime.

Animanga that exceeded all my expectations

The only one I can think of is Suzumiya Haruhi. It didn't exceed all my expectations because they were high from the start, but goddamn. I despise the fact that I came into the show knowing only the memes and opening clip, thinking it was gonna be absolute weeb garbage (because back in the old days it was much easier to not run into spoilers and I'm not even sure if the novel was already being fantranslated at the time), only to find out that it actually fucking slaps. Can you imagine how pissed I was. That I couldn't hate this bullshit of a show. Also endless eight. That shit was traumatizing even though I caught on quick and skipped most of it.

Top 3 Unpopular animanga I really love

I won't say unpopular but these are definitely underrated.

Tsurune (I mean the novel; the anime doesn't deserve much recognition beyond the good animation and sound design, imo)

Nurarihyon no Mago (I know it's been over for more than a decade and the fandom is long dead, but it was temporarily revived by the recent new chapters, and it was criminally underrated in the west back when it was still being published)

Gangsta (used to be really popular when it was on-going, but the fandom lost its hype completely both in the west and in Japan after it entered hiatus because of the author's health)

Favorite romance: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

Favorite action animanga: can't possibly choose

Favorite fantasy: Tongari Boushi no Atelier

Favorite sci-fi: can't possibly choose

Favorite drama: Nana

Favorite comedy: Gintama (I know that comedy isn't the only genre this thing belongs to but comedy is the main one. And yes, I know the story is actually deep but it still takes a backseat to the comedy, narratologically speaking, and this shouldn't be looked down on. Fight me.)

Top 3 Favorite anime movies

I don't really have favorites in any particular order other than Sen to Chihiro, so here are a random few of my faves:

Kimi no Na wa

Senkou no Hathaway

Mononoke-hime

Next in your watch list: All the stuff from this season that hasn't yet come out.

Next in your read list: Nothing, actually. Just keeping up with the stuff I was already reading. Accepting recs!

Top 3 Favorite antagonists:

Johan Liebert

Griffith

Meruem

Top 5 (or top 3) favorite ships (can be canon or non canon):

Let's go with top 10 because I'm a professional shipper. By the way, number 1 is the one that set the bar for all the other ships and anything else is actually just sharing second place. These are really just a few from the top of my head, since I have at least one favorite ship for every fandom I'm in.

RikuTsura (Nura Rikuo/Tsurara)

HakuSen (Haku/Ogino Chihiro)

SakuShao (Kinomoto Sakura/Li Shaoran)

IchiRuki (Kurosaki Ichigo/Kuchiki Rukia)

HaruRin (Nanase Haruka/Matsuoka Rin)

GilVi (Gilbert Bougainvillea/Violet Evergarden)

SoMa (Soul Evans/Maka Albarn)

AruSheri (Saotome Alto/Sheryl Nome)

YuuVic (Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov)

SeiRicha (Nakata Seigi/Richard Ranashingha de Vulpian)

[queengurako]

So apparently from the Hakuouki official book I have (from the original game not the reboot KW/EB) Sen's oni form has three corns because she is a female. And Chizuru has only two horns because her statue is under Sen's one.

I'm not sure of the translation but it seems even if Sen has a human in her lineage, she is a little bit more "pure blood" than Chizuru just because her family exists since Japanese Antiquity.

Edit : Also male oni have four horns if they're pure blood. But I need to do more researchs.

[enbiart]

how about them Oni huh

[fierce-little-miana]

Sen says to the girl who has just been turned into a rasetsu for no good reasons.

Chibi Ashitaka and Sen commission for @ananyonion on Instagram 🥹🙏🏼✨💜

Thank you for dor commisioning me! ✨ if anyone else is interested, I have a pinned post with comm info.

[enby-peep]

in my heart of hearts there is a hidden Sen route where she and Chizuru become Co-Queens of the Demon World and adopt the Shinsengumi as Official Older Brothers Bodyguards and somehow this lets them survive the war.

Hakuoki Drama CD - Shimabara Disturbance Track 3 English translation

To no one in particular... Suzuki Shogo > Sasaki Yoshihide. Also I keep spelling the latter's name wrong.... ehehe. (¬‿¬)

Anyway, here's track 3! enjoy!

Hakuoki Drama CD - Shimabara Disturbance Track 3: Feminine Things/Womanly matters [raw is 「女らしいこと」 Iuno what to put this as]

Translation by KumoriYami

Sen: Then, I'll go get Chizuru-chan prepared. Everyone, please wait here. Let's go, Chizuru-chan.

(door opens and they go)   Hijikata: But when Saito said that he had something to say to me, I thought it would be for something. I didn't expect it that he wanted to put Chizuru in a kimono.

Okita: If you're feeling dissatisfied, why don't you go back? Chizuru-chan won't be happy with someone saying something like that.

Hijikata: Hey, who said that I was feeling dissatisfied or annoyed?

Okita: Areh? Do you want to see it that badly? As expected, Hijikata-san is inwardly quite passionate. Chizuru-chan should really be staying away from you~

Hijikata: You bastard, aren't you going to nitpick me for whatever I say?!

Nagakura Forget it, Hijikata-san, just calm down. Chizuru-chan was really beautiful then, so of course you/I'd [no subject] want to see her like that again.

Toudou:....

Saito: What's wrong, Heisuke? You have a strange expression on your face again.

Toudou: Eh? An, no.

Nagakura What is it, Heisuke? You don't want to see Chizuru-chan like that again?

Toudou: How would that be possible?! I was... only, I don't her to be shown in public like that.

Nagakura: Huh? What do you mean?

Toudou: It's nothing!   

Harada: This is something that everyone's looking forward to! Right, Saito?

Saito: Why are you asking me?

Harada: If you weren't interested, you wouldn't have made such a proposal, right?

Nagakura: That's right! I was really surprised when Saito made the suggestion.

Saito: This wasn't because of my own desires. However, I simply thought that she'd be happy if she could wear women's clothes.

Okita: Eh~ I'm a bit surprised Hajime-kun would say that. You should want her to be happy.

Harada: Her life's been quite miserable, and even Saito wants to cheer her up.

Saito: Th-That's.. I just really don't want her to be/feel sad…

Okita: For you not wanting her to feel sad, that almost sounds like a confession of love.

Saito: Uh! It's nothing like that! Don't joke about that.

Heisuke: Geh! [just an audible sound the way it sounds]

Saito: Heisuke, what's wrong?

Toudou: Co-Could it be that Hajime-kun is interested in Chizuru…?

Saito: Ah! No! Souji! Souji, this is all your fault for spouting such nonsense!

Okita: All I did was say was what I was thinking. It was just Hajime-kun who had such a panicked reaction, right?

Saito: Such a thing...!

(door opens)  

Sen: We've kept you waiting! She's finished changing now! Come on, Chizuru-chan! Don't be shy! Hurry, hurry!

(footsteps) 

Toudou: Guh~! Chi...Chizuru...!!

Nagakura: Wow! you really are beautiful! No matter how many times I see you, I'll never get used to it/tired of it.

Harada: It's a different kimono than last time, but it suits you very much, Chizuru.

Okita: Don't be shy, and raise raise your head. What a truly rare and beautiful transformation.

Hijikata: This is already the second time, why are you still nervous? The clothes suit you very well, so it's fine to be more magnanimous and generous/honest and forthcoming.

Okita: Hehe, you haven't turned your head around, why don't you say a compliment?

Saito: I'm trying to calm my emotions, please don't talk to me.

Nagakura: What's wrong, Heisuke? Your mouth is opening and closing like a goldfish's.

Toudou: Ca-Calm down, me... I've obviously seen her before like this, so why I am so nervous? Speaking of which, isn't Chizuru more beautiful than last time?

Okita: Haha, Heisuke's face has become quite red~

Harada: Why is Saito, who isn't even looking at Chizuru, blushing?

Saito: Didn't I say not to talk to me?

Sen: Even though you all probably have much to say, please come over here. The room's been prepared.

................

Nagakura: Ah~! Fancy food, delicious sake and beautiful women~! What's not to like? This must be what the heavens are like!

(footsteps)

Nagakura: Ah, you want to pour some sake for me? Sorry, Chizuru-chan!

Toudou: Ah! There's no need for you to do that, Chizuru! You don't need to pour sake for Shinpachh-san!

Nagakura: What are you doing, Heisuke? Are you going to stop me from drinking?

Toudou: I don't mean that! You can always pour the sake yourself!

Nagakura: You… there's obviously such a lovely person here, wouldn't it be a waste to not let her pour me sake?

Toudou: It'd be a waste to pour sake for Shinpach-san!

Nagakura: Ha? What do you mean by that?

Harada: Well, calm down you two. You're troubling Chizuru. Today's banquet is for Chizuru, so we should enteertain her properly. Right, Saito?

Saito: Why are you asking me that!

Harada: Didn't you organize this? You said that you wanted Chizuru wearing a beautiful kimono.

Saito: Sa-Sano! Don't say anything unnecessary!

Harada; What part of this is unnecessary?

Saito: Yukimura, don't worry. It's nothing. Don't ask anything about this. Ah, the Vice-Commander is looking over here. He might have something to say to you, so you should go over there. [Saito speaks very quickly here 😂]

(footsteps)

Okita: There was no need to send her away. Because Chizuru-chan's so beautiful, you've become shy and unable to say anything? Just it that way.

Saito:....Stop talking nonsense/stupid things.

Harada: Well, she is very beautiful so being shy is understandable.

Toudou: Eh? Sano-san is feeling shy?

Harada: As a man, even I'd feel shy when being stared at by such a beautiful woman.

Okita: When Sano-san says such a thing, why does it feel like a lie…

Harada: Why? I'm definitely not lying.

Okita: Because you don't seem shy in the slightest. Have you always been deceiving girls/women like this?

Nagakura: What?! Could this be Sano's trick to deceiving girls?

Harada: Don't twist what I said! Although it's not really obvious on my face, I'm a human, so I also get shy.

Okita: Hm? Alright then.

Harada: In any case, you're the dishonest one, Souji. If you think she's beautiful, why don't you give her a compliment?

Okita: I praised her for having her "beautiful transformation".

Harada: Exactly how is that a compliment?

.......

Toudou: Ha....

Okita: What's wrong, Heisuke? Are you jealous that Hijikata-san is monopolizing Chizuru-chan? If you want, I can help you by killing him?

Toudou: While it's true that I'm upset with him monopolizing her, I was just thinking that she really looks like a girl like this.

Nagakura: What are you saying, Heisuke? Regardless of how she looks, Chizuru-chan is a girl.

Toudou: That's not what I mean! While she is very feminine, she usually has to dress as a man. Whenever I think about that, I always feel…

Harada: That's right. We're the only ones here today, so there's nothing to worry about. I also want her to have the opportunity to act as a girl would.

Nagakura: A girl/woman... ? What do they usually do?

Harada: What? What's with that look that appears as if you're staring at some strange creature?

Nagakura: Even if you say that, I don't know what they usually do. Isn't it really just cooking, washing/laundry, and sewing?

Toudou: In that case, isn't that what Chizuru usually does?

Okita: Just doing some chores.

Toudou: Ha... Seriously, she really is usually just doing chores/odd jobs.

Okita: What about playing ball/with a ball? Girls in the neighbourhood often play with it/them.[I think this is "ball" here in Japanese. the CN I have is more literally "hit the ball" and the audio sounds like 'mari toka']

Harada: That can't be done indoors, right?

Okita: Then what about ayatori or origami?

Toudou: It's true that many girls play that, but that can be done at headquarters.

Harada: Anyway Souji, you've been doing nothing but list children's games.

Okita: Hehe, that's because I've seen the neighbourhood children play them. Does Sano-san have any good ideas?

Harada: Nn, it's true that identifying what a woman does is difficult. Should we ask that geisha named Kimigiku teach her something/how to dance?

Okita: But even if she came to the dojo to teach, I don't know if that child likes dancing.

Nagakura: That's right, rather than what a girl/woman might do, isn't it better to let Chizuru-chan do what she wants?

Okita: Then why don't I do some training with her?

Harada: If Souji's conducting the training, Chizuru will probably die.

Okita: Ah, but I left my sword when I came in, so there's no way that can be done now.

Harada: In the first place, you can't let Chizuru hold a sword with that appearance.

Okita: Then, what about taijutsu? I'm not very good at that.

Todou: Ah, with that sort of appearance, how could Chizuru practise taijutsu?

Toudou: At least change it to a method that involves blinding the eyes with sand or something like that.

Harada: Why are these only for attacking?

Okita: It can't be helped. This is about what Chizuru-chan wants to do.

Harada: Wouldn't that make Chizuru seem like an aggressive/belligerent woman?

Okita: Wouldn't that be surprising? A cool Chizuru-chan.

Toudou: That wouldn't cool. Chizuru should be cu....

Harada: Eh. You can't say she's cute even if she's not in front of you?

Toudou: Kuh! Shut up! Cu-Cute. Chizuru is very cute!

Okita: Hehmm. Since Heisuke said that out loud, Chizuru-chan is looking over here.

Toudou: Uah! It's nothing! Sorry, Chizuru! It's really nothing!

Okita: You're just complimenting here, so there's no need for you to panic this much. In fact, people will be suspicious of you saying something bad about her.

Toudou: Ggh!

Saito: Souji! Stop teasing him.

Okita: It's too much to blame me for doing this, isn't Sano-san gilty of committing the same crime?

Harada: I'm not teasing him.

Toudou: Ah... I feel so tired now.

Saito: Let’s get back to the original point. What should be done to make Yukimura happy?

Okita: What does Hajime-kun think would be good? From the very beginning, you were just listening without saying a word and not expressing your own opinions.

Saito: Although I've been thinking about this for a while, I haven't been able to think of anything.

Nagakura: Apart from training with a sword, what other thing can be done to make Chizuru-chan happy? And that be done indoors and isn't dangerous?

Okta: How about everyone singing children's songs together? A group of adults singing children's songs would be very interesting and exciting.

Harada: That'd be so exciting, that I wouldn't want to imagine that, though it's true that you can't do that at headquarters.

Okita: Just imagine Hijikata-san singing a children's song. I might end up laughing so much that my face would get cramps.

Nagakura: The only one who can probably sing children's songs without it feeling out of place with is Kondou-san.

Toudou: In the end, Souji just wants to tease Hijikata-san.

Okita: That isn't the case. If we try this, maybe he'd say "that makes recall the happiness from my childhood."

Nagakura: Indeed, he might say that…

Harada: Calm down, Shinpachi! Are you really going to sing?

Saito: Nn. If she's happy, it would be a small matter.

Harada: Saito, you calm down too! If you suddenly say "let's sing children's songs" Chizuru will get confused!

Nagakura: That’s right. Do you have any other good ideas....

Okita:....

Saito:....

Toudou: What exactly does Chizuru like?

Harada: If you think about it, we have no idea about what Chizuru likes.

Okita: Hm, she didn't talk much about herself.

Toudou: What can we do to make Chizuru happy?

.........

Hijikat: Hah.... hey, you guys! What were you talking about

Okita: Something that is to be kept secret from Hijikata-san.

Hijikata: What did you say?!

Saito: No, it was nothing like that.

Okita: Hm, as expected, asking her would be the fastest way. Come here, Chiruzu-chan.

(footsteps)

Toudou: Ah! Idiot! Souji!

(stops)

Toudou: It's nothing, Chizuru! We're not talking about you! Ah!

(Chizuru falls) [or that's my assumption since it sounds like she runs into Heisuke while something metallic falls down]

Toudou: So-Sorry, Chizuru.

Hijiakta: Ha, seriously, what are you doing? Are you alright, Chizuru? Here, your hairpin.

(Hijikata givers her the kanzahi)

Hijikata: Hah... Your hair, which had been done up into a bun, is all messed up. Can you call Osen? She can help you with your hair again.

(door opens and closes after Chizuru leaves)

Hijikata: Hey, Heisuke, why are you so panicked? Did you do something that you're ashamed of?

Toudou: It's not like that! It's just that she suddenly came close that I panicked. We were talking about asking Chizuru about what a woman/girl would do.

Harada: We got sidetracked halfway though.

Hijikata: Things that women do?

Okita: It's quite pitiful that she always has to wear men's clothes, so we just wanted to do something for her. But it appears that Demon Vice-Commander-san doesn't think that.

Hijikata: Did I say that?

Okita: Then exactly what will Hijikata-san do for Chizuru-chan?

Hijikata: Oh. You're asking what to do... Overdoing will instead make her feel concerned. Just let her do whatever she wants.

Toudou: But...

Hijikata: In any case, wouldn't it be better if you all paid more attention to her? Regardless of how beautiful the kimono is, it's boring to be left alone.

Okita: Hm...

Hijikata: What? If you have something to say to me, just say it.

Okita: How are we supposed to react when you say such an ordinary thing?

Hijikata: You bastard, no matter what I say, you're going to find some fault with me, aren't you?!

Harada: Hah... it's going to start all over again.

----to be continued----

havent started track 4 yet and while i do hope to get a start on it today... im not sure how likely that'll be since i'll be on the road waaaay later today and i get incredibly nauseous while in a car... and am usually feeling that way hours after exiting said vehicle.

Suppose I could just post track 5 and 6 any time though.... 😅

I like the one where they meet during travels and she informs him that they're looking to relocate and he temporarily houses them not knowing that they'll never leave 😆. Him and Sen gets close and maybe you could still add Sen fainting and Kazama finding her and that's when they realize that she's pregnant and why she's having the dreams or something like it.

Scattered thoughts!!

Okay, here's some ideas I have...@lilc77

The Princess is sick, he found her alone in the middle of dirt path. The moment she gets better slightly, her fever returns and she is bedbound again.

Cannot remember what happened to her and how she ended up unconscious and alone.

So based on that dream I could do something like umm maybe she can barely walk so he carries her a bit and travel the road to find the closest doctor who might help so there could be a scene with him holding her in his arms near the fire....maybe because the weather is slightly chilly. But he could learn that she was cursed by something unknown because of the fact she was destined for something never seen before. A daughter who is a Nephalem who would be the wife of the king "Sebastian." A great union and combined powers they are afraid of, so they want to kill her before this happens.

To explain why Chizuru was not hunted down for the fact that she is the mother of the king is because as I mentioned in Hijichi story. Sebastian's Prophecy is unclear and they aren't sure when or how or who?

Or maybe I ditch this plotline entirely and start over with something else.

Maybe he was returning home in the road and then by chance he stumbles upon her traveling as well.

He learns from her that the Village of Yase isn't doing too well and they are in the process of moving to another place and build all over again. So he offers her to come with him to his village, stay there for a few days until things work well. She can bring her people with her. It might be possible to make some space for them to live temporarily in the Kazama village.

So she agrees and goes with him, but Sen has been tormented by a dream she couldn't understand, (Haven't yet thought about what the dream could be, but it supposed to foreshadow her future with Kazama and their daughter who will held some of the angel powers.) Maybe I could try to write interactions between the two near the pond where in the future Kondo would meet Sara.

What do you think the conversation starters could be about?

I have a slight something from an old draft,,,that could be something.

....

"So you finally stopped chasing Chizuru and Hijikata  for your so called pride and bloodline?”

She could see very clearly her question made him tense. His body stiffened slightly before he avoided her eyes. “ There comes a time, when you realize your actions are wrong.” He whispered. “ You have no choice but to accept it and learn to move on.”

....

Then someday Sen sees a box left in her room, thinking maybe it was one of her people who brought some of her luggage there but the moment she opens it, it turns out to be poison and she falls ill.

So this could lead to the dream with him holding her next to the fire while he hears the words of someone saying. "That woman is cursed."

And so use the lore I said in that other plot, the destiny for her to birth a girl who would be a Nephalem and the wife of the king....et-cetera.

......

That's all I have, for now. @lilc77
