There we go! It's really starting to simmer now.
What do you have on the stove, Mozu?
Oh! Well, if it isn't Lord Ryoma. Right now I'm fixing some soup to warm all our bones.
I see. It looks delicious, I must say. I didn't know you were a skilled cook.
Aw, it's nothing a prince like you ought to take notice of.
Anyway, this is pretty much the most I can do to help the army out.
What do you mean by that?
I don't have any fancy fighting moves like the rest of you folks... And I'm no tactician, neither.
So I want to help with the things I DO know how to do. And that's cooking...
It's an admirable stance to take, to be certain. But you needn't be so humble.
I dunno...it's just...
What would you say, then, if I offered to train you myself?
What? No. No way. I couldn't— I can't be wasting your time training me, Lord Ryoma! You've got too much to do around the camp as it is!
If you won't accept training, Mozu, then yes, you will be too weak to fight. I'm giving you an opportunity to push past the barrier you believe holds you back.
Lord Ryoma...
I see strength in you, Mozu. You are the only survivor of a brutal attack on your village.
That speaks of a fierce determination to survive. I believe you can be trained.
Even so, I...
Aw, OK. I'll show you—and myself, I guess—I've got what it takes. Thanks, Lord Ryoma!
We'll have you in fighting shape in no time.

That's enough for now, Mozu. You've earned a short break.
*pant* *pant* Whew! I can't believe the rest of you folks train this hard every single day.
You've nearly got the hang of it, Mozu. If anything, you're acclimating to the routine faster than I expected.
I guess I can't be that bad if you say so, Lord Ryoma.
You'll feel the improvements start to show in no time, I expect.
This still kinda feels like a dream. Some no-name farm girl like me getting personal attention from the prince...
That matters less than you think.
Huh?
It doesn't matter if you're a villager or a nobleman, so long as you want peace. If you want it strongly enough, you could grow to be more powerful than myself.
I don't think that's gonna happen. But you know what?
I feel like it COULD. I gotta hand it to you, Lord Ryoma. You're pretty persuasive when you want to be.
Haha, am I? Thank you.
I've got a long way to go, so will you keep training me?
Yes, of course. Whenever you want.
Thanks a bunch!

Hey, Lord Ryoma! You got a minute? I wanted to give you something...
Of course, Mozu. What is it?
Heh, well, since you've been putting in so much work training me lately... I made you some soup.
Oh, really? Thank you.
All the folks back home loved it, so you know it's good! Here you go! Eat up!
Thank you. *slurp* *sip* Oh! This is very good. I'd rank it among the finest soups I've ever tasted.
I'm glad you like it.
Like it? I'm entranced by it. This is really first-rate soup, Mozu.
Heh! I didn't think a fancy nobleman would have such simple tastes.
Do I? Hmm.
I like watching people eat my cooking. Maybe if things ever get back to normal, I might open a restaurant or something.
Mozu...
Oh! Sorry, was that too heavy? I didn't mean to bring you down.
No, you just struck a chord with me. I want to return peace to this world as well.
I think that's what we all want.
The fruits of your training are starting to show. Let's keep up the good fight, hmm? I'll do everything within my power to see that your wish comes true.
Gosh! I'd better step things up too, then!
That's the spirit!

What's cooking in the cauldron today?
Oh, just more of the soup I made for you the other day. It's a hit with the soldiers, that's for sure!
I wish I knew how they found out about it...
That's simple enough. I told them.
What?! You did?
Yes. I didn't think they'd make such a commotion of it. I'm truly sorry.
No, it's not a problem.
There's probably little I can do to make up for it now, but I'll help however I can.
I-I'm fine. I couldn't ask a prince for help with the soup...
I told you that station in life doesn't matter to me. We're all together in this. It stands to reason that we'd help one another out.
B-but...
I must say, I hope my title isn't a problem for you.
Huh?
I may be the high prince of Hoshido, but...I'm very fond of you, Mozu.
What?! YOU like ME? Did I hear you right?
I was touched at your passion, both in cooking soup and training with me. As we spent time together, it seemed sillier to let social standing keep us apart.
Even if that's true, do you really think we're a good match?
Who's to say? I like you, Mozu.
Well, if it doesn't bother you, I'd be a fool to let it bother me, huh!
I like you too, Lord Ryoma.
And if I'm the one you want, I'll give you everything I have.
I was going to offer you the same. I hope you'll stay by my side henceforth.
Wild horses couldn't drag me away!
