 * Encounters, ah, are the beginning of everything


 * Mitsunari: Finally, someone trustworthy
 * and competent
 * Won't you serve me?


 * Sakon: It's not my style
 * to agree to
 * babysitting


 * Mitsunari: No, no
 * Don't misunderstand me
 * I want your power


 * Sakon: Get real
 * The answer's the same, no matter how many times you ask
 * Be that as it may,
 * Together: it's strange how we were brought together


 * Somehow, when we passed one another by
 * Somehow, we hit it off right away
 * Mitsunari: I've always been searching for a connection like this
 * Together: Ah,
 * We're together in this world of war
 * We're together in this world of chance greetings
 * It's a once in a lifetime encounter
 * Maybe this is destiny at play


 * Encounters, ah, are mysterious things


 * Mitsunari: How about twenty thousand koku?
 * Same wage as my own
 * Surely that would be sufficient


 * Sakon: You can't buy
 * people's hearts
 * Please take your leave


 * Mitsunari: No, it's not like that
 * What I desire
 * is your proud and noble spirit


 * Sakon: Well, I'll be
 * You should've said that before
 * I'm with you
 * Together: Now then, shall we?


 * Somehow, we're not alike at all
 * Somehow, we're in tune with one another
 * Sakon: Strangely, your heart connects with mine more than words ever could
 * Together: Okay!
 * In that case, let's get ourselves prepared
 * Then, when the time comes for us to share the glory
 * It'll be a once in a lifetime meeting
 * This is the path we should take


 * Somehow, it's like we decided on this long ago
 * Somehow, it's like we always knew it would be this way
 * The bonds we have can't be cut by anything, so
 * We'll go to our promised world together
 * We'll aim for the same world together
 * It's like we can read each other's minds
 * Let us go, down our path
