At last, Shurei finally arrived in the city of Kinka, where she promised she would meet up with Seiran and the others. But Kinka had already become a stronghold of the Murderous Blades. And if that were not enough, Shurei learned that the entire Rin family had been killed by the Murderous Blades only a few days prior to her arrival . Then, who is that man? Who in the world is he?
Crows in a Moonless Night
I wonder if they were able to find them. Did they find The governor's seal and charm? The governor's seal and charm should arrive in Kinka at about the same time as you do. Even without any more information, you'll know them the instant you see them. I'll leave them somewhere very safe where there’s no chance that any one will be able to steal them. Yes, But where on earth are they?! He's wearing pears on his head. Ryuren?! Why hello, Kindred spirit number one. What are you doing here!? I was following kindred spirit number two. Wait, Kindred spirit number two... You mean Eigetsu? Kinka Castle? That’s where Eigetsu and korin have been taken Do you think you can save them? My guess is that Ensei Ro and Seiran Si are also making their way to Kinka Castle right now. I have some gifts for you. The charm and the governor's seal! I accepted them to bring to the new governors as gifts. Oh now I get it. Of course, nobody's gonna want to deal with this eccentric, so that's why it was impossible for them to be stolen. All right, Please give those gifts to Eigetsu. And also, stop by the pawn broker on your way to Kinka Castle, Something important should have just been delivered there. You’re not coming with me? Young Master... he said he'd wait for me at the Chrysanthemum Residence. I have to go there and find out for myself . Ryuren, you wouldn’t happen to know, would you? Who is that man? He's a man who knows about everything. Was he behind the slaughter of the Rin family? I think you already know the answer to that. Will you go? I must. Then I’ll have to salute you for your bravery. So you're a fake? How dare you deceive me like that! What is it? Oh, I was just laughing, because it occurred to me that there is someone even less fortunate than these pathetic children . Meisho! You. What's the meaning of this, you bastard ? You said to compare my future prospects and my current ones, and work for you instead , Lord Sojun. But there can be no comparison between you and the person I serve . Who are you talking about?! I suppose you can call him Our true employer. He’s someone you know extremely well. What? Apparently, the reason he wants you dead is because there’s now Something he wants? Something he wants? To be the head of the Sa Clan. Then the person who employed you must be... Damn it, he won’t get away with this! Close your eyes! Leaving Seiran Si's treasured sword at a pawn broker was a good idea. The Sa Clan probably wouldn’t think to check pawned goods coming into Kinka, especial for something like this. He was more trouble than I expected. Meisho! Well well, you couldn't have timed your appearance any better. Who are you really working for? There’s no way that old man Chusho would’ve ever wanted his precious grandson, Sojun killed! Now talk! How long do you intend to lie on top of me? Oh , I’m so sorry! Honestly , you're so rude. So Little Whirlwind and Little Rascal King. I ask you to Drop your weapons now. Don't lay a finer on the Little Whirlwind for the time being, but you can kill the other one Mr. Ensei. Don't you worry about a thing . I'm your deputy officer after all. It is only natural for me to save you. You're not about to tell me that it's all right not to save you, are you? I wouldn't say that. full marks for that answer. Just focus on doing a good job protecting Miss Korin. The Little Rascal King expects to beat us without the use of his stuff? Get him! This is the Chrysanthemum Residence. But the crest isn't the chrysanthemum. It's been scratched out, with a new one carved on top recently. It’s the Profusion of Peacocks, the Sa Clan crest. Then that man is just as I feared…! What the? Didn't you know? Unarmed combat is his specialty. He only wields the staff to refrain from injuring his opponent too badly To tell such an opponent to drop his staff was suicide on your part, right, Meisho. Hey now! Thank you very much for the compliment. that's as far as you go! Little rascal king. If you don't want to see the boy killed, then you’d best don't move another step! Mister Ryuren! I’m here to save you, my kindred spirit number two. Th-Thank you for coming, Mr. Ryuren! What? Kansho? Wh-what are you doing with this? My other kindred spirit asked me to do a favor for her. Finish them off quickly. Shurei’s in danger at the Chrysanthemum Residence. At least , she might be. Chrysanthemum Residence. But that's Great Uncle's...! Thank you very much...! Hey! What do you think you're doing? You mean inside kindred spirit number two, there's a kindred spirit number 2. 5? He only comes out when he drinks alcohol. I’ll beat you come out! Come out, Kindred spirit number 2.5! Move it, out of my way, girl. Oh my, So this is kindred spirit number 2.5. what you. Come on, Get up, Meisho! How foolish of you, Little Whirlwind. You think you can win against me? This, This can't be. It is, believe it. It was Seiran and I , who destroyed the Murderous Blades fourteen years ago, just the two of us. So why in the world would you think the likes of you could beat someone like him? Is that a fact? But you should know the two of you are merely being manipulated as well! You, me, the Murderous Blades, we're nothing but tools used for that man’s entertainment. What’s that? Until now, he's never had any interest in obtaining power himself, so no one ever realized that he was truly up to behind the scenes. But he ordered me to kill his older brother. Soon, all of Sa Province will become his toy. In order to Kill his older brother? Was it Sojun's youngest brother? No, it wouldn’t be Kokujun. In that case...! I'll guide you to the Chrysanthemum Residence. Hey! Hurry up and go! I think We can pretty well handle things around here. This way. My name is Senya Rin. But please You can call me Senya. Rather than the young master of the Rin family, I want you to see me. well, I'm glad to see you’ve come.
The Story of Saiunkoku
I've come here to bid you farewell as I promised young master. A promise. I seem to remember asking you for a promise, I wanted you to tell me your real name once we finally made it to Kinka. If I do decide to share my real name with you , will you return the favor and share yours with me? But of course , I'd be happy to tell you. After all, it is the name of your new fiancé. My name is Shurei Hong. Oh, I knew it. it's so much better than Korin. It's beautiful and dignified, it suits you very well. don't you agree? And your name is? Sakujun, Sakujun Sa. You know, I was quite fond of the name Senya. It means a thousand nights. I thought It was the perfect name for me, you see, as I was born in the darkness of the new moon, when the black moon that has lost its light floats in the night’s sky. You have a scary look on your face, even after I asked you not to act so coldly. Right now, I'm feeling rather embarrassed at my own foolishness. I never suspected you for a minute and voluntarily fell right into the grasp of the Sa Clan...And you... You must have had everything planned from the first moment we met in Sakyo, didn’t you ? That's quite right, my dear. You've been walking on a extremely dangerous tightrope. If you had made so much as a single minor error in judgment, you would never have been able to reach Kinka alive like this. I talked to you about this before, remember ? I said that Once I find that special person, I will no longer hesitate. For some reason, You seem to have become that special person. Despite that...! Later, I'm gonna make lots of this tea for the people who are important to me. I found that bothersome. Because if there is a special person that I like, I want to keep them all to myself. Isn’t it natural to feel that way? In the end, That's why it was necessary to arrange my brother Sojun to be eliminated. It was So I could become head of the Sa Clan and properly welcome you as my wife. to the Hong Clan you're their greatest treasure. In order to face your family's fury head on, I would have to at the very least become head of the Sa Clan and use its full power. Please Don't worry. I'll treat you with care. I'll be gentle. But tell me, If I treat you as precious, will you think of me as precious too? Will you make Gan Lu tea for me, too? Will you stay by my side? I've never tried to be liked by anyone, so I really don't have any idea how to go about it. You’ll have to tell me, should I be whispering things like “I love you” in your ear every day and every night? Please don't forget. Don't forget that I love you, shurei. No. You’re wrong ... you don't, you don't love me. What you’re saying isn’t really love at all. You're probably right. I'm really not sure myself. It's unusual for me to like someone and want her by my side, but I’ll not hesitate, If there are any obstacles keeping me from achieving something , I'll eliminate them. If there's something I need, then I take it. This is the first time in my life that I want to do something for the sake of another person. It doesn't really matter to me what these feelings of mine are called. But why, Why do you like me so much? It's a mystery to me too. But when I'm with you, I feel good. If you give yourself to me, and become mine, then I will become totally yours. I will grant any wish you could ever have. I will devote my life to you. Then, if I asked you to find a prison and lock yourself away in it, would you do it, just for my sake? Of course. If you’re the prison, I'd be locked in, I’d happily be bound to it in chains. But my sole condition is that you would bind yourself to me in the same way, and entertain only me. And once you got bored of me, you'd escape your prison. You'd break out of your cell... and then kill me. Are people's lives nothing more than toys to amuse whenever you’re bored? That's right. I'm not interested in my own mortality or path in life. That's why I have no choice but to amuse myself with those of others. However... Humans seem to break after only a little time playing with me, it’s most boring. But you're strong. I don't imagine you'll ever break or choose death under any circumstances. That's why I can play with you without having to worry about it. Don't make fun of me! I don't have any time to spend playing with you! Well well, the person you're waiting for has arrived. You knew he was coming and yet you still...! I already told you. I will grant you any wish that you have. However, since you're not mine yet, I’m afraid this will be everything for now. But first I will give you a little present in return for you playing the erhu for me every night. So tell me, How should I address you? Little Whirlwind? Or Your Highness? It seems You've become rather short-tempered. You're fascinating, as always. While you're here, I can finally tell you , know this, my Little Whirlwind. On that day Fourteen years ago the one who found you collapsed and half head in the snow and took you to the base of the Murderous Blades, was me. I believed you had plenty of potential. was it not kind of me? Seiran, calm down! You Don't want to fall into this guy's trap! No, Seiran... You mustn't... Seiran. Officer Si. I give you my authorization, complete your objective here. I'll, I'll make Gan Lu tea for you after! My Lady. Sakujun Sa! By the power of Kansho bestowed by his majesty Ryuki Shi and my superior’s orders, I’m arresting you for Involvement with the Murderous Blades! Unfortunately, you have nothing to charge me with. What? What do you mean?! The crimes were committed by my grandfather, elder brother, and the Murderous Blades. All I did was bring a girl to Kinka by her request. Not to mention I’ve brought the girl [in question] here safely and without a single scratch. see? I haven't done anything wrong, have I? You bastard! I heard it all from Kokujun, I heard this residence used to belong to old man Enjun when he was still alive! And yet you polluted it. Can't you tell the Chrysanthemum Residence is weeping?! My Great Uncle... I had to endure some tight restrictions, because of that man. But in the end, I was still able to get my revenge against him in a way. How could you! Great Uncle?! No, Kokujun. Then Nine years ago, when Aunt and Uncle were killed. Advisor Sa's son and his wife. So The one who killed Shunki's parents, it was you, big brother! I can’t say that I like you that much either. In my eyes, You're a nuisance because you resemble Great Uncle Enjun the most, useless fool. Well then, I will take this opportunity to be on my way. There’s not much point in sticking around, and it seems you won’t be able to arrest me. And as for you, Come To the provincial capital of Koren, I'll be waiting for you. And please don't forget, don't forget that I do love you. Even if you cannot accept that love. Please don't forget. Don't forget that I love you, Shurei. Next time we meet, I would ask that you please Call me by my real name. I want to hear my name spoken by a lovely voice like yours. From now on, call me by my really name! No. It's not the same. I'll be waiting for you. No, I’m not gonna go and see you! Oh, You'll come. I know in my heart, that You'll definitely come to see me. As long as I have this flower hairpin. To use The bud of a flower, it seems The king is a very clever man. Oh, I almost forgot, Grandfather Chusho is currently having a new clan ring made for the head of the Sa Clan. He’s doing that Without conferring with the clan? You know It's meaningless to hold such a consultation at a time when everyone's fighting among themselves for the top seat. However , it’s unlikely that anyone will acknowledge the ring of the clan leader when it’s been arbitrarily-made. That's why grandfather and I needed the new governor so desperately. The governor is the king's representative here. if they designated the new leader of the clan, the people will have no choice but to accept. That's why grandfather Chusho was searching for the governor's seal and charm sothroughly, his hope was to appoint a governor who would act according to his will alone. Crows on moonless night. Governor Hong, thank goodness, are you all right? Sai, my old friend! This is Lord Shin Sai, the Mayor of Kinka. So then, the Merchants Guild acted on our behalf? on the order of the Mayor of Kinka, capture the Murderous Blades! Don't let even a single one of them escape! Lord Shin Sai, you are the Mayor of Kinka, are you not? Kinka is an important city for us. I don't want to waste a single moment before our attempting to settle and stabilize the situation here in town. I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly give me some guidance...! My Lady! Was that Shurei.
Next Episode Seiran, Ensei, Eigetsu, korin, I'm so glad you're all safe! It's so reassuring to be together again! No matter what lies ahead, as long as we work together, I know we can overcome anything!
But Kinka had already become a stronghold of the Murderous Blades.
And if that were not enough, Shurei learned that the entire Rin family had been killed by the Murderous Blades only a few days prior to her arrival .
Then, who is that man?
Who in the world is he?
Crows in a Moonless Night
I wonder if they were able to find them.
Did they find The governor's seal and charm?
The governor's seal and charm should arrive in Kinka at about the same time as you do.
Even without any more information, you'll know them the instant you see them.
I'll leave them somewhere very safe where there’s no chance that any one will be able to steal them.
Yes, But where on earth are they?!
He's wearing pears on his head.
Ryuren?!
Why hello, Kindred spirit number one.
What are you doing here!?
I was following kindred spirit number two.
Wait, Kindred spirit number two... You mean Eigetsu?
Kinka Castle? That’s where Eigetsu and korin have been taken
Do you think you can save them?
My guess is that Ensei Ro and Seiran Si are also making their way to Kinka Castle right now.
I have some gifts for you.
The charm and the governor's seal!
I accepted them to bring to the new governors as gifts.
Oh now I get it. Of course, nobody's gonna want to deal with this eccentric, so that's why it was impossible for them to be stolen.
All right, Please give those gifts to Eigetsu. And also, stop by the pawn broker on your way to Kinka Castle, Something important should have just been delivered there.
You’re not coming with me?
Young Master... he said he'd wait for me at the Chrysanthemum Residence.
I have to go there and find out for myself .
Ryuren, you wouldn’t happen to know, would you?
Who is that man?
He's a man who knows about everything.
Was he behind the slaughter of the Rin family?
I think you already know the answer to that.
Will you go?
I must.
Then I’ll have to salute you for your bravery.
So you're a fake?
How dare you deceive me like that!
What is it?
Oh, I was just laughing, because it occurred to me that there is someone even less fortunate than these pathetic children .
Meisho! You.
What's the meaning of this, you bastard ?
You said to compare my future prospects and my current ones, and work for you instead , Lord Sojun.
But there can be no comparison between you and the person I serve .
Who are you talking about?!
I suppose you can call him Our true employer.
He’s someone you know extremely well.
What?
Apparently, the reason he wants you dead is because there’s now Something he wants?
Something he wants?
To be the head of the Sa Clan.
Then the person who employed you must be... Damn it, he won’t get away with this!
Close your eyes!
Leaving Seiran Si's treasured sword at a pawn broker was a good idea.
The Sa Clan probably wouldn’t think to check pawned goods coming into Kinka, especial for something like this.
He was more trouble than I expected.
Meisho!
Well well, you couldn't have timed your appearance any better.
Who are you really working for?
There’s no way that old man Chusho would’ve ever wanted his precious grandson, Sojun killed! Now talk!

The Little Rascal King expects to beat us without the use of his stuff?
Get him!
This is the Chrysanthemum Residence.
But the crest isn't the chrysanthemum.
It's been scratched out, with a new one carved on top recently.
It’s the Profusion of Peacocks, the Sa Clan crest.
Then that man is just as I feared…!
What the?
Didn't you know? Unarmed combat is his specialty.
He only wields the staff to refrain from injuring his opponent too badly
To tell such an opponent to drop his staff was suicide on your part, right, Meisho.

On that day Fourteen years ago the one who found you collapsed and half head in the snow and took you to the base of the Murderous Blades, was me.
I believed you had plenty of potential.

Seiran, calm down!
You Don't want to fall into this guy's trap!
No, Seiran... You mustn't... Seiran.
Officer Si. I give you my authorization, complete your objective here.
I'll, I'll make Gan Lu tea for you after!
My Lady.
Sakujun Sa!
By the power of Kansho bestowed by his majesty Ryuki Shi and my superior’s orders,
I’m arresting you for Involvement with the Murderous Blades!
Unfortunately, you have nothing to charge me with.
What? What do you mean?!
The crimes were committed by my grandfather, elder brother, and the Murderous Blades.
All I did was bring a girl to Kinka by her request.
Not to mention I’ve brought the girl [in question] here safely and without a single scratch.
see? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?
You bastard!
I heard it all from Kokujun, I heard this residence used to belong to old man Enjun when he was still alive!
And yet you polluted it.
Can't you tell the Chrysanthemum Residence is weeping?!
My Great Uncle... I had to endure some tight restrictions, because of that man.
But in the end, I was still able to get my revenge against him in a way.
How could you!
Great Uncle?! No, Kokujun.
Then Nine years ago, when Aunt and Uncle were killed.
Advisor Sa's son and his wife.
So The one who killed Shunki's parents, it was you, big brother!
I can’t say that I like you that much either.
In my eyes, You're a nuisance because you resemble Great Uncle Enjun the most, useless fool.
Well then, I will take this opportunity to be on my way.
There’s not much point in sticking around, and it seems you won’t be able to arrest me.
And as for you, Come To the provincial capital of Koren, I'll be waiting for you.
And please don't forget, don't forget that I do love you.
Even if you cannot accept that love.
Please don't forget. Don't forget that I love you, Shurei.
Next time we meet, I would ask that you please Call me by my real name.
I want to hear my name spoken by a lovely voice like yours.
From now on, call me by my really name!
No. It's not the same.
I'll be waiting for you.
No, I’m not gonna go and see you!
Oh, You'll come. I know in my heart, that You'll definitely come to see me.
As long as I have this flower hairpin.
To use The bud of a flower, it seems The king is a very clever man.
Oh, I almost forgot, Grandfather Chusho is currently having a new clan ring made for the head of the Sa Clan.
He’s doing that Without conferring with the clan?
You know It's meaningless to hold such a consultation at a time when everyone's fighting among themselves for the top seat.
However , it’s unlikely that anyone will acknowledge the ring of the clan leader when it’s been arbitrarily-made.
That's why grandfather and I needed the new governor so desperately.
The governor is the king's representative here.
if they designated the new leader of the clan, the people will have no choice but to accept.
That's why grandfather Chusho was searching for the governor's seal and charm sothroughly, his hope was to appoint a governor who would act according to his will alone.
Crows on moonless night.
Governor Hong, thank goodness, are you all right?
Sai, my old friend!
This is Lord Shin Sai,
the Mayor of Kinka.
So then, the Merchants Guild acted on our behalf?
