It is a sunny day today.
The Leaders of the two clans, accompanied by the key members from both sides, are gathering at the spot where all conflicts were ignited, where all the Selfishness, Betrayals and Viciousness were put on the Libra weighing against the Love, Honesty and Sacrifice as a true testament to the core value, the virtue of Mankind!
It is this place where Okada was accused to have kidnapped and murdered the members of Yoshie, a piece of fertile land situated in the middle of Tokushima Prefecture where the soil is perfect for growing Poppy- a source for both narcotic drugs and powerful medicinal alkaloids,
A mixture of both Good and Evil!
Today, the two leaders shade hands and sign the treaty of joint development of the land.
Yoshie Kazuki, the other mastermind behind the scenes, was found being [executed] together with other rebellious members near the stronghold of Yoshie Clan (inside a secret base set up previously by the rebellious group). And they were also proven to be responsible for the murdering of their own clan members and trying to impute the crime to Okada Ryuichi in order to set the fire.
And finally, Okada Kentaro, was found out to be the sole traitor within the clan after investigation. His foolish collusion with Kazuki would have been rewarded by a remarkable amount of money, if ever he was longevous enough to collect them.
After all, the case can now be officially closed. At least to both the clans and the Royalty.
But to Sora, it is both the end and the beginning.
Sora prays on her knees in front of the tomb of Haru. Then she lies on the grass, looks up the sky as if her loved one was by her side a long time before.
Someone is moving close, a handsome guy, a young samurai, carrying the Hell Blade with both hands.
”Sora Sama. My father has told me to give this back to you.” His name is Okada Motoya, the last son of Okada Ryuichi, in the same age of Sora(20).
“Thank you.” Sora stands up and takes the sword from him. It is time to set off.
”Sora Sama…..”
”Please don’t be so respectful. We are of equivalent ranking anyway! I am no longer any leader or senior for anyone.”
”Yes. But…I mean you have saved us, you should be highly admirable.”
”Thank you. But it sounds like an Ole Butt to me.”
“Oh! I am sorry! But I don’t mean to be offensive! No no no, how come it to be offensive? Oh! I am so idiotic….”
Sora smiles. She can feel the sincerity inside the young guy’s heart.
”Er? Why does your face turn red?” Sora is puzzled.
“…..you looks pretty when you smile….”Motoya’s face is burning.
”I am flattered. Thank you.” Sora thanks for his appreciation and replies politely and peacefully. The girl, though still in her flowery and budding age, has undergone the Enlightenment twice. It may be hard to influence her emotionally.
”Alright. I have to leave now.”
A hale and hearty old man is approaching in the distance.
”Sora Sama, I hope you will still consider my request.” Ryuichi bows to Sora while saying.
”Sorry. Okada Sama. I cannot commit anything to you at this moment,” Sora bows back to Ryuichi, “I don’t even guarantee my own safety in the upcoming journey as well.”
”That is why I want my son to follow you and to serve you along! He is never as strong as you but he can still assist you in certain extent, if nothing else.”
”Sorry…. But I still,” Sora is finding a more proper reason to reject him.
”I will take care of myself! Sora san! And I believe I will find my own Justice just like you! I mean… forgive my ignorance,
EVERYONE SHOULD BE EQUAL BEFORE JUSTICE! So please don’t treat me as a burden or cumber!
Didn’t you just say we are equivalent anyway? You and me, we can help each other in the future!”

”IDIOT! HOW ARROGANT YOU ARE! You fool. Apologize quickly!”
”No.” Sora interrupts before Ryuichi beats his son real hard. “He is right. I should not have looked down on him. Motoya Kun, will you accept my apologia?”
Both the Okadas are shocked and they are speechless but keep bowing to Sora, while Sora bows back to them. The scene is too hilarious that makes the three burst into laughters.
”So Sora Sama, you accept my request at last?” Ryuichi wants to confirm once more. He stares at his son, but this time showing much more appreciation in his eyes.
”I guess it would be interesting to have Motoya Kun going with me.”
”Oh! Wowww! That is wonderful!”
”You fool!…..sorry he is so embarrassing.”
”No. you should be proud of your son.”
”….. Thank you, Sora Sama! Thank you!”
Motoya is so exciting that he keeps running around before his father stops him and says,”Stop fooling around! Go pack yourself and get everything ready. This is going to be a long journey.”
”Oh! Yes! You are right, Dad!”
Just when Motoya is about to leave, Sora stops him by saying,
”And don’t forget your sword.” She passes the HOLY SWORD to her new partner, while keeping the HELL BLADE for herself.
”What!? Do…..do I deserve this? Really?”
”Yes, you do.” Sora smiles,
