Ending: Another Peaceful Day in Edo


Translated by Arctic Passerine

Some time after defeating Akudaikan, a letter arrived for the Weissflugel Landsol Branch, who had returned to spending their days at the guild house as usual.

Monika
Everyone, the letter contains an invitation back to Edo. They want us to come back, so that they can thank us again for everything.

Ninon
An invitation!? That means we can go to Edo once again!

Monika
Yes, that's right.

Yuki
I see, so they must have sent this invitation because they wanted to see my beautiful visage again. How frightful my beauty is, stealing away the hearts of the townspeople in an instant...

Monika
No, I don't think that's it...

Ayumi
I wonder what happened in Edo after we defeated Akudaikan.

Monika
They wrote about it in this invitation. After Akudaikan's destruction, they were able to catch the conspirators in the royal palace, and the town seems to have become peaceful as it originally way.

Monika
And because Akudaikan's taxes are no more, the aggressive salesmanship that we saw last time has also gone away.

Ninon
Then, let us go right away! I would like to return to have fun in Edo! That is, if you will allow it...

Monika
... Yes, let's go enjoy ourselves to the fullest.

Yuki
Eh...!?

Kuuka
Is it really okay...!?

Ninon
I only thought that I would try my luck in saying it, but I did not think she would say okay...

Ayumi
Um... Monika, are you maybe feeling a little drowsy after eating all of the taiyaki I bought for you?

Monika
W-Why are you all reacting like that!? Is that really such a strange thing for me to say?

Yuuki
1. "What about the promise to do special training after returning?"
2. "Somehow, Monika seems nice today."

Option 1.

Monika
That's... well, never mind that.

Option 2.

Monika
... You say that as if I'm not nice normally.

End of branches.

Monika
The incident this time was pretty exhausting. I think we've earned a bit of a rest.

Monika
Not to mention... During that incident, I was able to feel the bonds of our friendship so strongly... It made me happy, I guess...

Ayumi
Monika...

Monika
W-Well, let's leave it there! More importantly, it's time to depart for Edo!

Scene: The streets of Edo.

Kuuka
The town is just as pretty as ever... What a nice place.

Townsperson 1
Hey! Look over there!

Townsperson 2
Those people must be...!!

Ayumi
W-What's going on? Everyone is focusing their gazes on us...

Yuki
So my beauty is capable of drawing such attention no matter where I go...!

Mayor
Welcome, Shogun and companions!

Ninon
Ah, it's Mr. Mayor!

Mayor
Thank you for accepting our invitation... And even more importantly, for saving our town! ... It might be sudden, but please, look at this statue that we erected to express our thanks!

Ninon
That is... a statue of the Shogun!

Ayumi
It really is... I kind of want it...

Mayor
This statue was constructed by our finest craftsmen, as a token of our appreciation! Beyond this, we have also recorded a heroic tale of the Shogun and his allies' deeds!

Monika
H-Heroic tale!? You wrote something like that, too!?

Mayor
Now then, let me start with the relevant events. Before the villainous Akudaikan, the Shogun gallantly appeared.

Yuki
I-I feel like this is already a little different from what happened...

Mayor
Each of the Shogun's allies was no less impressive in their own right. First, Lady Monika tested the enemy's strength with her heaven-rending slash...

Monika
H-Hey, isn't this getting too exaggerated? Isn't turning my first attack, which got blocked, into a heaven-rending slash a little bit much!?

Mayor
Then came Lady Kuuka, clad in the beautiful, long, flowing robes of an angel... She stood unyielding before the underhanded attacks of the villainous Akudaikan...

Kuuka
N-N-No, I didn't do anything that amazing...! And it's embarrassing to go down in this tale as wearing those clothes, so please leave me out if you can... Ah, but this embarrassment also feels all right...!?

Townsperson 1
We've gotta start making some Shogun-branded goods! Like Shogun manju! Or even an entire Shogun Set!

Townsperson 2
I've got a good idea! I'll make some fans and hairpins!

Townsperson 1
In that case, we can also offer a mobile, dress-up mechanical doll modeled after the beautiful Yuki!

Ayumi
S-Somehow, I feel like everyone is getting too excited about this...!

Monika
M-Maybe another evildoer has appeared in Edo, causing everyone to act this way... Ninon! If anything comes to mind...

Ninon
... No, this...

Monika
... N-Ninon?

Ninon
... This is the Edo that I know! Flowers and festivals! Everyone, celebrate our Shogun even more fiercely!

Monika
Y-You're with them!?

Teahouse Owner
All right, leave it to us, miss! Everyone, let's go!!!!

Mayor
Then, I will also participate!

Townspeople
Shogun! Shogun! Shogun!! Shogun! Shogun! Shogun!!

Ninon
Everyone, come here and do it together!

Monika
... Ugh, fine! Let's do this!!

Kuuka
I-It's embarrassing to shout so loudly... Ah!? The Shogun is Mister Sadist... That means he's indirectly making me do this... He must have planned for my humiliation all along!

Yuki
Well, he did work hard this time, so as a reward, I too will take part using my beautiful voice.

Ayumi
I-I'll do it, too! I'm not good at shouting, but... I'll shout as loud as I can!

Ninon
Then, everyone, do it all together!

Everyone
Shogun! Shogun! Shogun!! Shogun! Shogun! Shogun!!

Ninon
Now, Shogun! Keep this condition as you go on and unify our lands!
