[Visit Yuzuha's room]

Hakuoro enters Yuzuha's room, finding her sitting in the corner of the room, and with a dagger in her hand, cutting on a lump of wood. She is so concentrated she doesn't notice he is there, even though she usually knows before he even enters. He wonders what she is carving, watching as he touches it with her finger, traces it down, and then whittles at the wood. He notes she is very skillful for someone who can't even see. He notices it is about the size of a head, and then wonders if she is carving someone's face.

Finally she says his name, apologizing for not noticing he was there. He tells her not to worry about it, and says she seems to be carving very enthusiastically, and that it looks like a person's face. She tells him yes, that she is carving his face. He is surprised, and tells her that to do a carving even though blind, she is very skilled. She asks him if she may touch his face again, to know it better. He tells her she may, and nodding, she timidly touches his face. He thinks that her soft strokes feel nice even though it tickles. She continues, and the more she runs her fingers over his face, he changes his mind, thinking that it is really tickling now, and he squirms as he endures the terrible tickling feeling.

[Visit Urutorii's room]

Hakuoro enters Urutorii's room, finding her and Karura relaxing and drinking sake. He asks if he is interrupting them, and they say not at all, and for him to sit with them.

It is very quiet, and time peacefully goes by. Karura and Urutorii neither speaking, but look very relaxed. More sake is poured and Karuru says it is delicious, and Urutorii agrees, but those are the only words exchanged as more time passes in silence. Hakuoro feels that it is a very mysterious atmosphere, like it is not necessary to talk, how somehow even though no words are exchanged it seems that there is conversing, an atmosphere where each other understands the other. He says seeing the two of them like that, he somehow feels good. However, finally after gazing at the two people silently, temptation wins the better of him, and he opens his mouth to speak.

He asks if they are aquainted now, but realizes they atmosphere seems to feel as if they are somehow well aquainted, even though one is a princess and the other is a Nakuan, a very strange combination. Urutorii says "Yes, Karura and I--" but is then cut off by Karura saying "Uruto" and winking, putting her index finger to her lips in a gesture to not say anything, while her eyes have a mischevious look to them. Hakuoro says he sees, that there are many mysterious to a fine woman. Karura laughs and says it is that way, and he feels she is teasing him a bit.

Karura says he should have a cup of sake at a time like this, and he says he will have some. For now, he will just drink with them, and after a while of drinking, he determines the sake has become the best he's had.

[Visit Karura's room]

Hakuoro enters a room to find Karura, who tells him to come in. He says he wants to talk to her, and she asks about what. He asks why she is here in this room, and she says because it has a nice view and good mood. He says he meant if this is to be her room, and she says yes, she has decided to reside there, as she's taken a liking to the place. He asks if there isn't some significance to her deciding to stay there, and she says that it is a wonderful place, and furthermore, she gets three meals a day and all she can drink. He says she can't just drink as much as she likes at her convenience, she reeks awfully of liquor, and he notices a wine barrel. He says he know sees her true colors, she has been the recent sake thief. She says it's bad to give her the reputation of a thief, she only has a little to drink in the evening. Even as she says this, Hakuoro notes to himself how such a mountain of liquor has piled up in such a short time.

Spoiler for The new characters not covered by the episode again:

Once again out in the countryside, Hakuoro meets with the masked Emperor of Kunnekamun. He thanks him for coming again, and Hakuoro says it is only a tentative promise, and then greets the other as the Kunnekamun Emperor, and then he tells him "It's Amururineuruka Kuuya." He says that since this isn't a public place, there is no need to go through the performance of speaking as emperors, calling each other "Emperor." Hakuoro says if he says so, and then tries saying Amururineuruka but isn't able to make it past "Amu", so he is told that Kuuya is fine. Kuuya says on the other hand, it is assumed that he can call Hakuoro by his name, and then says "Very well, Hakuoro" before Hakuoro can even say anything one way or another. Kuuya then says that there is no need to stand in such a place and to sit down. Hakuoro notes that he still has that attitude.

Kuuya says that the moon is beautiful tonight. He likes to look at the moon, that the sun shines outspokenly, but the moon quietly moves the darkness, and they are gently wrapped in it. He says that Onbaitaikayan loved the moon especially as well. Hakuoro says that the moon tonight certainly is beautiful, and says it would be nice to have some sake watching such a moon. Kuuya turns his masked face to Hakuoro, and asks if he likes drinking sake. He says he does, that it is normal for it to be drunk by adults. Kuuya says that he has not drunk it himself, and asks what it tastes like, if it is sweet, bitter, or very delicious, if it is in surplus in the case of celebrations.

Genjimaru interrupts saying "Emperor", and Kuuya asks why he intrudes on everything, he isn't a child anymore. He then says that older people really like to preach too much. Hakuoro thinks that Kuuya certainly has a considerably different impression, not depending on outward appearances and acting very childish for a man.

Kuuya then turns back to Hakuoro and asks "Well?" and he asks what, and he tells him not to pretend he doesn't know, and to tell him what sake tastes like. Hakuoro says that even to try to say the taste, giving essence to the words, it would not ease anything, and then possibly it would just become like an eternal enigma imposed on a person. He says as long as there is sake, then a personcan continue to be able to drink it. Kuuya says he sees, that surely one can only imagine that it must taste dreamlike. Kuuya says that sometime, so that he can drink sake, Hakuoro will have to bring it one day. Then he says "At that time..." and doesn't finish the sentence, instead quickly saying that it is nothing. Hakuoro looks confused, and he laughs, and says that Hakuoro really is mysterious.

Genjimaru tells the Emperor that it is time, and Kuuya asks if it is that time already, the time passed too quickly. He asks if Hakuoro will come and meet him the next time he comes, and Hakuoro says yes, another time. Kuuya that says it's a promise.

Is this new guy hitting on Hakuoro?!

Spoiler for Game contents covering episode 10 – part 4:

[Visit workroom]

It is late at night and Hakuoro is in his workroom, and Eruruu enters. She asks what is wrong, as his face looks troubled. He says he was just recalling the previous battle. If they weren't defenseless, they may not be attacked so simply. Shikeripechimu's Emperor Niue doesn't seem to have given it up, and presently they don't know when there will be a second attack. Eruruu says that for that reason the castle at the border was built. Hakuoro says it is insufficient, and only is being used as a deterrent, so that it will look like they won't be so easy to attack and make them hesitate in an invastion, but they are still lacking a definite solution. He says as he thought, there is nothing he can do but borrow her power.

Urutorii enters and says that Hakuoro called for her. He says he needs to ask her something, and she asks what it is. He says that neighboring countries have been allying, and he wants to join in on that by all means, and is asking for her help. She says that she will deal with it immediately. He apologizes for it being so soon after she has come there, and she says no, that it is the duty of the Yomoru, and she wants to help the Emperor. He thanks her and tells her he is very grateful, and she smiles.

Eruruu, apparently forgotten, looks annoyed and claims "Here's the tea!" and puts it down with a thud. Hakuoro looks confused, wondering what that was about.

[Visit throne room]

Chikinaro enters the throne room and says he is sorry to have kept them waiting, he has his order ready. Hakuoro asks what order, and Chikinaro says it was for Karura's weapon. He then recalls how Karura had ordered a specially made weapon for when she joins the line of battle. In most swords, it would take a strong arm to cut through a chain, but the sword would break like a twig. Thefore, Karura ordered a sword be made that "never breaks, never bends, and doesn't slip", a completely unreasonable request. Therefore a substitute club was given to her, made of steel of superior strength and was made at great pains to be admirable, but she wasn't exactly happy about this; she threw it back claiming with absolute seriousness that her hand slipped. Therefore, emphasis was made again for a sword that would not break, bend, or lack, and ordered to the blacksmith to make it. Many kinds of metals were melded together into a very unreasonable make-up, and the possibility of making such a thing was doubtful.

Chikinaro says that since this is the first kind of request like this for the blacksmith, he was a bit perplexed. Hakuoro asks how hit turned out, and Chikinaro says that it has been finished to expectations, however... Hakuoro asks "However?" and Chikinaro says he should look it over. He signals with his hand and five powerful men enter, holding something. With a loud thunk they put down a sword with a blade similar to a hatchet, and so thick it looked like the thickness of many normal swords put together. Chikaro says however, only someone with the strength of five men can carry it. Hakuoro is shocked at hearing this, and wonders how something like this could ever be useful.

Karura walks in and says it looks like it was possible to fill her request. Hakuoro says that regrettably it was a failed work, as it much too heavy to hold. In a blink, she lifts the sword in one hand as if it were nothing more than a twig, saying the grip is so-so. The men stare at her open-mouthed. She hums and says she'll take a moment to go try out the new sword.

They go outside and she mutters to herself if it will be good. She stands in front of a tall garden stone, and then strikes the sword to it, and a loud explosion is heard. After the sound of the terrible crash clears, the rock is cracked right in two. She says the blade didn't slip, and then says that she likes it, they've done good work. She says she will accept it, and then walks away while humming cheerfully. The men stare at her as her figure disappears dumbfoundedly.

I said once and i will say again... Eruruu is dangerous when mad!
Anyway, i think this part had story and character development enough to cover more than 3 episodes. It’s really a shame they didn’t put all that in the anime.
