The other oni do not much concern this one. It is a wretched thing that the young oni of today are so contriving and so proud of their material possessions. Those with contriving hearts are lacking in duty. Lacking in duty, they will have no self-respect. By inconsistency and frivolity we stray from the Way and show ourselves to be beginners. In this we do much harm.

Ah, yes, that's true... "A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair."

Satori: ...and so, you are alone.
Koishi: Sis!
Satori: Time has passed you by, Deva. Ideals have changed while you were Shinki's Guardian. The world is not accepting you any more. You are alone.
Koishi: That is going too far, Satori!

@Satori: What you say is very true. But this one would rather be alone than stray from the Way. To do such a thing would shame not only myself, but my Mistress and the gods as well.

(Rogue wakes up)

Mint: Your breakfast, Prince Herb.

Rogue: Mint? Lime? What are y'all doing

Lime: We serve as bodyguards to you, Prince Herb.

Mint: You're serious about Prince Herb being somewhere in her?

Lime: Of course, Lime... Besides the only alternative is that.

(Lime points to Herb's dead body)

Mint: AHH!

Satori: There is a girl in the princess' service, of the Konpaku clan. It would do you good to talk with her.

^^This one spoke with the girl's father, once. This one understands that the girl, too, follows the Way?

Heh, the Way? Is that some ancient honor code or something?

Hey there, Jenrya.

@Satori: This is good. There are too few left today who truly understand it.

@Hilarity: Yes. The Way of the Samurai. Bushido, the warrior's code.

@Hilarity: If one departs from the Way, what meaning has it, and what can be learned from it? Nothing at all.

Jenrya: "Hi."

Terriermon: "He's a nice guy, but he worries too much."

Jenrya: "Well, I just think it's important to be careful. It's better to be safe than sorry, you know?"

Koishi: Being careful means that you don't want to hurt or get hurt without reason. It is a good way of thinking, Jenrya. *smiles*

@Hilarity: This one thinks you may be misunderstanding what she is telling you. Let her explain it plainly - If one were to say in a word what the condition of being a samurai is, its basis lies first in seriously devoting one's body and soul to his master. And if one is asked what to do beyond this, it would be to fit oneself inwardly with intelligence, humanity and courage. The combining of these three virtues may seem unobtainable to the ordinary person, but it is easy.

Intelligence is nothing more than discussing things with others. Limitless wisdom comes from this. Humanity is something done for the sake of others, simply comparing oneself with them and putting them in the fore. Courage is gritting one' s teeth; it is simply doing that and pushing ahead, paying no attention to the circumstances. Anything that seems above these three is not necessary to be known.

If you observe people who are even a bit useful, you will see that they have accomplished these three outward aspects.
