Chapter 8 – Part C

~~~~~

Spoiler for Touka’s Scenario:

[Save 57]

[Visit outside]

Hakuoro goes outside and sees Aruruu carrying a large pot. Hakuoro asks her what she is doing with it, and she says she's going below to bring dinner. He says by below she must mean where the enemy is jailed, and tells her it isn't necessary for her to do such work. She says that everyone is busy, so she is helping. He says that's great, and she blushes happily from the praise. He thinks to himself how it is nice she wants to be useful for something, but then thinks that being a waiter for the jail may not be such a good idea, as the Ebaenukuruga woman was put there, and he worries about her going down there by herself. He tells her that he will go with her, and he says that since the pot is heavy he'll carry it. She tells him no, because it is her work, she will do it. He thinks that perhaps she is at that age where one wishes to overreach themself.

They go down into the prison, and Aruruu calls out that it is dinner. When Touka sees her, for a moment a smile starts to appear on her face, but alters when it is noticed. Aruruu tells her to eat, and to have another helping if she isn't full. Aruruu hands her a bowl and Touka mutters thank you softly so Aruruu won't hear it.

Touka asks Hakuoro what his business is there, that trying to talk to her will be useless. She says that the Ebaenkuruga do not submit, not matter what kind of pain or humiliation is done to their body. Hakuoro says she is talking foolishly, who would do such a thing. She then says that if that isn't it, he must have come to ridicule her. He says no, that he has only come as a chaperon for his daughter out of concern. Touka questions "Daughter?" and thinks that Aruruu is his daughter, and she stares at him, and says the emperor is keeping his daughter as a slave, and asks how she can be expected to just watch that with no detachment. Hakuoro asks why that would be, when the sound of breaking glass is heard.

A man tells Hakuoro not to move, that he will kill this person if he moves. The sound was from a bowl that had been broken, and rings throughout the prison. The man, a soldier of Kutcha-Ketcha that has been imprisoned, holds Aruruu, with a shard of the broken glass to her neck. Aruruu goes limp and loses consciousness in his grip. He again yells to not move, or he'll behead her. The man adds that this is his daughter, and it was a good thing he heard that, as his daughter's life is important which makes things much more effective. Hakuoro says he understands, and the man says to now get the key for Touka. Touka says that he is a foolish person who is mistaken, to take a child as a hostage, moreso a child who has taken care of them, and asks him how he can be a soldier of honor. The man says what is the matter with it, when in such a place, one can't know when they will be killed, and he has a wife and a child, and therefore will do anything to live and not die in such a place.

He yells to Hakuoro again to open the cell, and Hakuoro says he will do as he wishes and get the key, so to please release the child. He says if he releases her, he promises to let her go safely. The man tells him to be quiet, and says he thinks he will be deceived. Hakuoro says then to instead make him a hostage if he thinks so, he would be a more valuable hostage than a child. The man is silent for a moment, as if considering, then says no, that he'd be an awkward hostage and then he wouldn't be able to escape. He says this person is good, that if he has the princess as a hostage, the disgrace of being made a prisoner can be relinquished. Hakuoro says that if he has a wife and child, doesn't he want to escape, and the prisoner tells him again not to move, and that that is unrelated to this. Hakuoro says there must be something he can do to release his daughter, and the man tells him to not worry, he won't do anything as long as he doesn't resist.

Touka curses at him, and Hakuoro says he sees, and the man says that's good, and to not move from there. Hakuoro says that he will give his last warning: to release his daughter right now, and he'll shut his eyes. The man says he must be joking. Hakuoro tells him that this girl is a Yaanamauna (Mother of the Forest), and if he cares for his life he should unhand her. Touka gets shocked at hearing this, and the man says he doesn't understand what Hakuoro means. Touka angrily says he shouldn't mess with the Yaanamauna and to let the girl go right now. The man says the two are trying to deceive him with their words, and she yells out that he is a fool.

There is then suddenly a splash of blood, and the man's arm that had been holding Aruruu is gone. The unconscious Aruruu slumps to the ground, and for a moment the man is dumbfounded, then screams at the loss of his arm. Mukurru lets out a deep roar. Touka screams out that that is good enough, and to please stop. Hakuoro says it is too late, and Mukkuru starts tearing up the man, who screams out "Touka-sama!" as he is killed and eaten. Hakuoro goes to Aruruu, who is stirring slightly in her sleep, and notes that she seems to have no injuries.

Touka asks why he let that man be killed, that person had a wife and child who waited for him that will now be hurt. Hakuoro is silent, and she says that as she thought, he really is Rakushain, who for the sake of his own greed, put his own wife and child and hundreds of his countrymen on his hands. Hakuoro looks shocked, and she says in case he's forgotten, she can recall it however many times. She says to remember that his name is Rakushain, and he is a abominable man that brought death to his own wife and child, and hundreds of his countrymen.

Back outside, Aruruu finally regains consciousness. She asks what happened, and Hakuoro asks if she doesn't remember, she became very tired and passed out, so it would be good if she'd go take a rest. His mind can't stop thinking of Touka's words, and he says "My... name..." trailing off.

~~~~~

Never... never mess with Aruruu. She has a very fearsome bodyguard.

That’s a shame we couldn’t see this part animated. But again, was very violent and with lots of gore, too. Most probably that’s the reason because they completely removed it.

Spoiler for the part covered by the anime... sort of:

That night, Hakuoro is pouring sake and drinking, again thinking about Rakushain, who killed his parents, wife, and child for his own ambition, and wonders if that is really him. He drinks some more, but the sake doesn't even seem to taste good.

Eruruu enters, and he asks what she is doing, as it's the middle of the night. She says he is still awake, and he pours another drink, saying that he just can't sleep. He uses up the last of the bottle, and asks her if she would please bring some more. She says he is very drunk, but he says he requests it, so she does as he asks. Again he hears Touka's words in his mind.

Eruruu returns and says she will serve the sake. Hakuoro is silent, so Eruruu tries to make small talk, saying the weather today was very nice, so she did everyone's laundry, and then... She can tell he isn't listening to her, and she looks at him with her soft eyes. After a moment, Hakuoro finally says that he has heard he is a man that killed his own wife and child. She says such a thing is a rumor, and to not believe such a lie. He asks what he should do if it is true, it is not impossible because he has no memory of what he has done up to now. He pours more sake, and Eruruu assures that it surely is a mistake, so he shouldn't worry. Up to now, they have been together and she says that Hakuoro is not such a person, and would not do such a thing. She then adds that no matter what, she will always be on his side.

Hakuoro is silent a moment, his mind hazy, and then he grips Eruruu's collar and pushes her down on the bed, forcibly opening her kimono to expose her breasts. She lets out a sudden breath, and he grabs her breasts, playing with them. Her body stiffens, and she doesn't try to move or resist. He touches his hand to her cheek, and she tightly shuts her eyes. Hakuoro asks what is it, she is trembling so much. As he hears himself say this, he wonders why, if it is from fear, and then asks himself what he is doing.

Eruruu opens her eyes, questioning him. He says he is sorry, and she looks confused, and he says it's okay, and again says he is sorry. He then pulls away from her, and she asks him why. He says it seems he as had too much to drink, that's why, and he's scared her. He thinks to himself about what he tried to do to this girl, letting himself be drowned in emotion and throwing her down, but nevertheless, Eruruu tried to accept it even though she was frightened.

She asks him if her body was strange somewhere, and he says that isn't it. She asks if it is because she is not glamorous, and he says with force that isn't so. She says nothing, and he says that right now, he just wants to embrace her, and feel her warmth, but he doesn't want to embrace her in such a way. He says to embrace Eruruu for the first time, he wants to hold her tightly like this. He takes her into his arms and she closes her eyes, and before she can say anything he places his lips over hers, kissing her. He brings his hand to the side of her face, and slowly pets her hair.

He breaks the kiss and says that though she has various openings, but now he just wants to embrace her, and adds that she is much cuter than they said she was. For a moment she assumes a blank expression, then her face turns a dark red from whatever it is that she started to imagine. He laughs and says it was a joke, and she says that was cruel, and asks if he is making fun of her. He said that was bad, so instead... And then he trails off and buries his face quietly against her chest. He says that for a while, he just wants to stay like this. She says yes, and he wraps around her, embracing her closely, feeling her warmth. Before long, he feels himself sink into darkness.

Later on he gets up, and Eruruu's breathing as she sleeps is heard. He looks at her face, noting how pretty it is in her sleep, and thinks that he shouldn't leave her kimono open like that or she'll get cold. He shuts it and tucks her in, and says "Thank you, Eruruu..."

~~~~~

That was... quite different than the anime. Who’d thought Hakuoro could turn into such beast when drunk.

Now probably Eruruu will bring him sake every night, instead tea.

Spoiler for final battle against Orikakan, without Touka:

Hakuoro goes into the workroom, late at night. Oboro says he got tired of waiting for him, and wants to know how soon until they depart to the battle front, and Benaui also wants to know. Hakuoro tells them to inform the whole army, they will go at sunrise.

The next day, outside the sounds of hustling men are heard. Oboro asks Hakuoro if he is really going to do this, and Hakuoro says that even if he doesn't, he is not going to be able to make a negotiation. Oboro says that this war will change their domination and it is risky, and Hakuoro says that it is something he himself should conclude.

Out on the plains, Orikakan and several of his men are riding. Orikakan says that the soldiers are dispersed and the ground is held, but now there are only a few remaining soldiers. One man says it is too early for them to give up, and another says they are the wondering people, and it is possible for them to recover from these conditions. Orikakan says who has given up, that he will tear out that man's windpipe any number of times he crawls back up.

Not far away, Hakuoro stands facing them, silent. Orikakan curses at him, and Hakuoro runs away. Orikakan asks him to wait, and why he is running away. Orikakan follows after him, and his soldiers follow. Further down in some steep cliffs, Hakuoro and his men meet Orikakan, waiting. One of Orikakan's soldiers says they shouldn't this is perhaps a trap. Orikakan says that even if it is a trap, Rakushain exists before their eyes, and they will remove him at once.

Hakuoro tells his men that they are coming, and must be tempted onto the other side of the cliffs. He asks them to confine his men only for a little while, as he will make for the bottom of the cliffside. He tells them to not hesitate and withdraw when realizing their limitations against the enemy. His soldiers give him the affirmative.

[Battle 14 - Hakuoro reaches the destination]

An archer, a swordsman, a rider, and an Onkamiyaryuu mage fend off Orikakan and his men as Hakuoro runs to the base of the cliffs. He finally reaches his destination, a shallow riverbed, where his friends are waiting. Orikakan and his men meet him there shortly after, and says as he thought, he's waited in ambush.

Urutorii then flies down unexpectedly beside Hakuoro, and says that is so. She says more bloodshed is useless, and for them to take arms. Orikakan says he wasn't informed of this, and says that Hakuoro has called on Onkamiyamukai, but their interference is useless to this war. Urutorii says that Emperor Hakuoro has hoped for a discussion, and for him to have a tolerant mind. Orikakan says there is nothing to talk about, and attacks.

[Battle 14 - Defeat Orikakan]

Battle ensues. Aruruu notes that Mukkuru doesn't like the water, but she'll endure (if you choose to bring Aruruu along). Urutorii aids the party with the magic possessed of the Onkamiyaryuu race, and Emperor Orikakan says he says even the princess of Onkamiyamukai will not be pardoned for getting in the way, and she says there is no other way, and she attacks him with her spells.

Orikakan attacks Hakuoro, and says that many were lost thanks to him. He says that he will send him to Diinebokushiri (their Hell) without fail. Hakuoro says that Emperor Orikakan is not the only one that has lost a lot of things, as he took his friends, and to remember that. Orikakan tells him to watch his mouth, and they fight.

Finally Orikakan is defeated by the party. He slumps over, and then breaks out into laughter. He says that he killed his wife, and killed his child, and now he'll be killed by the hand that killed his younger sister (Rakushain's wife). Hakuoro says he is different, that he is Hakuoro, not Rakushain. Orikakan says that is nonsense, and he says that he's lost his memory just to be deceived. Hakuoro says about he is different, and Orikakan says that even if he lost his memory, his crime doesn't disappear. He says again that he is different, and then sees the flames again from his dream, and repeats "I'm different..." several times, just like in the dream.

It fades and Eruruu looks at him, concerned. She says this man is Hakuoro, not the man Rakushain. Orikakan asks what this girl is babbling, and says this man is his unfair, foolish, and cruel brother-in-law. She says is that so, and then says that he is no different. Innocent people were attacked by him, so what makes him any different than the person he is talking about. She says to please return Sopoku-neesan, Teoro-san, everyone... She starts sobbing and says, "Please return my family!" She screams, a pitiful scream that she had held in all this time, finally let free from within her, and the whole vicinity goes quiet. Through her sobs, she says that he is cruel, and Hakuoro asks her to stop, that she must not be caught in hatred. He says he understands that it is a selfish thing, but therefore is asking. She nods and clears her tears away.

She says that she believes Hakuoro, and he is not the man Rakushain. Orikakan says do they really think he'd mistake Rakushain, but when starting to say so, his expression changes to a blank surprise, as if seeing something unbelievable. He is silent, then says who on earth is this man, this is not Rakushain, and someone different. He says it is foolish, a little while ago, he was absolutely certain, but now... He tells Rakushain to come out, and to show his face, as if he must be hiding nearby. He asks what is the matter, and again tells him to come out. Eruruu says as she thought, Hakuoro is not Rakushain. Orikakan says that there must be some mistaken identity, Rakushain was certainly there.

Urutorii says he was made to be led astray. He looks at her in shock, and asks what she means by made to be led astray. She says a powerful suggestion must be put on them, and then the memory and the image of the lie are believed. The more fragmented the memory of the other person is, the more the truth is desired, and the more it becomes impossible to solve. Karura says Emperor Orikakan's existance was to seek revenge, and that was taken advantage of. He tells them to shut up, he cannot believe such a thing, and it is all nonsense. He says "It can't be... It can't be, that man..." Hakuoro asks "That man?" and Orikakan screams out that how dare he be deceived. But then, before he can tell them more, an arrow comes out of nowhere, and he screams in pain, and slumps over dead.

Benaui says that it was a poisoned arrow. Hakuoro goes to the Emperor, but it is useless, he is foaming at the mouth and already has lost breath. Oboro curses and says the guy who did that must be lurking nearby, and tells the soldiers to divide and search, and they give him an affirmative. They investigate the hook stuck in the man's neck, that appears to have come from a blowgun. Hakuoro says it must have been to seal his mouth. Benaui says perhaps, and Hakuoro says that by this, he was also manipulated, and what good was this war, what good did it even bring to everyone, feeling guilty. Eruruu says his name reassuringly, and he goes silent for a moment, then tells Benaui that the person who schemed this war, it to be found out, at any cost! Benaui says at his will.

The map is then shown, as Tousukuru claims the land of Kutcha-Ketcha.

~~~~~

That was a lot different than the anime. Hakuoro used their hate against him to make an embush, and without Touka they were completely defeated. Even Urutorii helped. Eruruu had a more significant participation too, puting a little of sense in Orikakan's head, just like she did with Nuwangi, times ago. Why they keep cutting her great lines and participation in the anime?!

Other difference was, even thought they never showed Emperor Nwue clearly like the anime, we could see Orikakan was used and manipulated by someone really powerful and evil. If really was Nwue, then Hakuoro and Co. has great, great problems ahead.

Anyway, now the empire (and harem) of Hakuoro grew even more.

Comments, anyone?

That’s a shame we couldn’t see this part animated. But again, was very violent and with lots of gore, too. Most probably that’s the reason because they completely removed it. Spoiler for the part covered by the anime... sort of: That night, Hakuoro is pouring sake and drinking, again thinking about Rakushain, who killed his parents, wife, and child for his own ambition, and wonders if that is really him. He drinks some more, but the sake doesn't even seem to taste good. Eruruu enters, and he asks what she is doing, as it's the middle of the night.

Now probably Eruruu will bring him sake every night, instead tea. Spoiler for final battle against Orikakan, without Touka: Hakuoro goes into the workroom, late at night. Oboro says he got tired of waiting for him, and wants to know how soon until they depart to the battle front, and Benaui also wants to know. Hakuoro tells them to inform the whole army, they will go at sunrise. The next day, outside the sounds of hustling men are heard. Oboro asks Hakuoro if he is really going to do this, and Hakuoro says that even if he doesn't, he is not going to be able to make a negotiation. Oboro says that this war will change their domination and it is risky, and Hakuoro says that it is something he himself should conclude. Out on the plains, Orikakan and several of his men are riding. Orikakan says that the soldiers are dispersed and the ground is held, but now there are only a few remaining soldiers. One man says it is too early for them to give up, and another says they are the wondering people, and it is possible for them to recover from these conditions. Orikakan says who has given up, that he will tear out that man's windpipe any number of times he crawls back up. Not far away, Hakuoro stands facing them, silent. Orikakan curses at him, and Hakuoro runs away. Orikakan asks him to wait, and why he is running away. Orikakan follows after him, and his soldiers follow. Further down in some steep cliffs, Hakuoro and his men meet Orikakan, waiting. One of Orikakan's soldiers says they shouldn't this is perhaps a trap. Orikakan says that even if it is a trap, Rakushain exists before their eyes, and they will remove him at once. Hakuoro tells his men that they are coming, and must be tempted onto the other side of the cliffs. He asks them to confine his men only for a little while, as he will make for the bottom of the cliffside. He tells them to not hesitate and withdraw when realizing their limitations against the enemy. His soldiers give him the affirmative. [Battle 14 - Hakuoro reaches the destination] An archer, a swordsman, a rider, and an Onkamiyaryuu mage fend off Orikakan and his men as Hakuoro runs to the base of the cliffs. He finally reaches his destination, a shallow riverbed, where his friends are waiting. Orikakan and his men meet him there shortly after, and says as he thought, he's waited in ambush. Urutorii then flies down unexpectedly beside Hakuoro, and says that is so. She says more bloodshed is useless, and for them to take arms. Orikakan says he wasn't informed of this, and says that Hakuoro has called on Onkamiyamukai, but their interference is useless to this war. Urutorii says that Emperor Hakuoro has hoped for a discussion, and for him to have a tolerant mind. Orikakan says there is nothing to talk about, and attacks. [Battle 14 - Defeat Orikakan] Battle ensues. Aruruu notes that Mukkuru doesn't like the water, but she'll endure (if you choose to bring Aruruu along). Urutorii aids the party with the magic possessed of the Onkamiyaryuu race, and Emperor Orikakan says he says even the princess of Onkamiyamukai will not be pardoned for getting in the way, and she says there is no other way, and she attacks him with her spells. Orikakan attacks Hakuoro, and says that many were lost thanks to him. He says that he will send him to Diinebokushiri (their Hell) without fail. Hakuoro says that Emperor Orikakan is not the only one that has lost a lot of things, as he took his friends, and to remember that. Orikakan tells him to watch his mouth, and they fight. Finally Orikakan is defeated by the party. He slumps over, and then breaks out into laughter. He says that he killed his wife, and killed his child, and now he'll be killed by the hand that killed his younger sister (Rakushain's wife). Hakuoro says he is different, that he is Hakuoro, not Rakushain. Orikakan says that is nonsense, and he says that he's lost his memory just to be deceived. Hakuoro says about he is different, and Orikakan says that even if he lost his memory, his crime doesn't disappear. He says again that he is different, and then sees the flames again from his dream, and repeats "I'm different..." several times, just like in the dream. It fades and Eruruu looks at him, concerned. She says this man is Hakuoro, not the man Rakushain. Orikakan asks what this girl is babbling, and says this man is his unfair, foolish, and cruel brother-in-law. She says is that so, and then says that he is no different. Innocent people were attacked by him, so what makes him any different than the person he is talking about. She says to please return Sopoku-neesan, Teoro-san, everyone... She starts sobbing and says, "Please return my family!" She screams, a pitiful scream that she had held in all this time, finally let free from within her, and the whole vicinity goes quiet. Through her sobs, she says that he is cruel, and Hakuoro asks her to stop, that she must not be caught in hatred. He says he understands that it is a selfish thing, but therefore is asking. She nods and clears her tears away. She says that she believes Hakuoro, and he is not the man Rakushain. Orikakan says do they really think he'd mistake Rakushain, but when starting to say so, his expression changes to a blank surprise, as if seeing something unbelievable. He is silent, then says who on earth is this man, this is not Rakushain, and someone different. He says it is foolish, a little while ago, he was absolutely certain, but now... He tells Rakushain to come out, and to show his face, as if he must be hiding nearby. He asks what is the matter, and again tells him to come out. Eruruu says as she thought, Hakuoro is not Rakushain. Orikakan says that there must be some mistaken identity, Rakushain was certainly there. Urutorii says he was made to be led astray. He looks at her in shock, and asks what she means by made to be led astray. She says a powerful suggestion must be put on them, and then the memory and the image of the lie are believed. The more fragmented the memory of the other person is, the more the truth is desired, and the more it becomes impossible to solve. Karura says Emperor Orikakan's existance was to seek revenge, and that was taken advantage of. He tells them to shut up, he cannot believe such a thing, and it is all nonsense. He says "It can't be... It can't be, that man..." Hakuoro asks "That man?" and Orikakan screams out that how dare he be deceived. But then, before he can tell them more, an arrow comes out of nowhere, and he screams in pain, and slumps over dead. Benaui says that it was a poisoned arrow. Hakuoro goes to the Emperor, but it is useless, he is foaming at the mouth and already has lost breath. Oboro curses and says the guy who did that must be lurking nearby, and tells the soldiers to divide and search, and they give him an affirmative. They investigate the hook stuck in the man's neck, that appears to have come from a blowgun. Hakuoro says it must have been to seal his mouth. Benaui says perhaps, and Hakuoro says that by this, he was also manipulated, and what good was this war, what good did it even bring to everyone, feeling guilty. Eruruu says his name reassuringly, and he goes silent for a moment, then tells Benaui that the person who schemed this war, it to be found out, at any cost! Benaui says at his will. The map is then shown, as Tousukuru claims the land of Kutcha-Ketcha. ~~~~~ That was a lot different than the anime. Hakuoro used their hate against him to make an embush, and without Touka they were completely defeated. Even Urutorii helped. Eruruu had a more significant participation too, puting a little of sense in Orikakan's head, just like she did with Nuwangi, times ago. Why they keep cutting her great lines and participation in the anime?! Other difference was, even thought they never showed Emperor Nwue clearly like the anime, we could see Orikakan was used and manipulated by someone really powerful and evil. If really was Nwue, then Hakuoro and Co. has great, great problems ahead. Anyway, now the empire (and harem) of Hakuoro grew even more. Comments, anyone? Last edited by PGilis; 2006-07-04 at 11:58.
