- Shanao
- Benkei Musashibo, thank you for helping me.
- Shanao
- Now please, keep this matter to yourself.
- Benkei Musashibo
- I understand...
- Shanao
- Alright, let's go Shungen. We've got to get back to the temple.
- Shungen
- But...
- Benkei Musashibo
- Please wait!
- Shanao
- What is it?
- Benkei Musashibo
- Is that all?
- Shanao
- What do you mean?
- Benkei Musashibo
- I said, I understand and...and that's it? You're just going to let me go?
- Shanao
- You saved my life, so I take you at your word. That's all there is to it.
- Benkei Musashibo
- I see. In that case...
- Benkei Musashibo
- Please allow me, Benkei Musashibo, to be your vassal!
- Shanao
- W-what?! What are you talking about?!
- Shungen
- You?! Shanao's vassal!? You're the scoundrel who's been causing so much trouble in Kyoto!
- Benkei Musashibo
- That may be so, but I made up my mind when I found out the person who defeated me was Shanao, the youngest son of Genji!
- Benkei Musashibo
- I will not give up on this intention. I will continue to ask until you approve of me.
- Shanao
- But...why? Why would someone as powerful as you want to serve me?
- Benkei Musashibo
No, I'm not as strong as you! You beat me within an inch of my life last night!- Benkei Musashibo
- I know there is no other path for me, please, make me your vassal!
Benkei was silent for a moment, before responding in a strained voice.
Shungen was about to say something, but Benkei opened his mouth before he could speak.
Benkei stared at me with urgent, serious eyes. His staff swayed, making a faint sound that echoed in the breeze.
His eyes grew more serious as he continued to stare at me. Then, he slowly closed them.
Benkei folded his knees and bowed his head in front of me.
