Supreme Nobility

Oh, little Brownie!

You're awake! Oh I'm so glad!

F-Furusato?!

Hey! Brown's awake again!

Bonjour Bess. How are you feeling?

Wait, what's going on here?

Just let it be.

Furusato there practically went blue in the face when the shogun brought you back.

Ieyasu did what...?

What about our mission? How did it go?!

What do you mean "how did it go?"

Do you really not remember, Brown?

None of what you did?

Oh, that's right! I...

Yup! Supreme Nobility!

Who would have thought you would suddenly pull it off at a time like that?

It was really something!

Don't go gettin' full of yourself though,

cause I coulda handled that situation myself anyway.

So that was Supreme Nobility?

The mark of us truly noble musketeers?

Now then, why don't we go let Napoleon and the others know the good news?

You performed marvelously, young soldier.

You not only successfully completed your mission, but also discovered your inner Supreme Nobility?

It would seem once again my instincts were far from mistaken!

Brown Bess, Charleville, Springfield, and Kentucky,

I must thank you once again on behalf of the resistance.

Thank you, truly.

Still, I believe I told you to make your own safety a priority if things took a turn for the worse.

I know what I did went against your orders, and I take full responsibility.

My apologies.

As long as you are aware of your actions, that's good enough for me.

I'd ask that you stick to those orders on further missions.

Yes, from here on out I will continue to abide by my own chivalric code

and bring our master to victory!

You ain't even sorry for any of it, are you?

Come now, Bess...

Well then! If this is all a matter of chivalry, then I guess we must simply accept as much!

This is no laughing matter, your majesty!

While this may have been a fluke,

now that he has unlocked his own Supreme Nobility,

he stands as a key figure to our cause.

We will be in trouble if he does not learn to be more prudent.

Regardless! Excellent work, young gentlemen.

You stand as a shining hope for the future.

Rest well now and rejuvenate yourselves!

Woo-boy!

Would you just look at that dirt fall right off?

This feels amazing!

We were bound to wind up disheveled, trekking through the mountains like that.

We best see to our rifles afterwards, too.

Yeah, I suppose we oughta.

Now take that!

Ack! Hey! Bleh! Cut it out, Keny!

Take that! And that! And some more!

Hey now, let's not be wasteful of the hot water we have.

It's not easy pumping all this water, you know.

Yea, yea, I know.

Say, Brown...

Back out there, how did you find your inner Supreme Nobility like that?

We're all musketeers in name,

but we don't amount to much unless we can use Supreme Nobility like that...

So I want to unlock mine, too!

I want to use my own Supreme Nobility to stand up and fight for our master and everyone else!

So please! Even if it's just a hint, give me something!

Spring...

The thing is-

The thing is...?!

I don't know.

I was just so lost in that moment.

All I remember was that I felt like I was burning up.

As if scorching lava flowed through my veins in place of blood.

Yet at the same time my mind felt icy-cold.

And it knew exactly what I needed to do.

That's all I can really explain.

I mean, I get the impression that it's really something special, but...

How the heck are we supposed to copy that, you useless redcoat?

How should I know? If you don't like my way then find your own.

You messin' with me?!

Hmm? Now that I think of it Bess, have you gone and thanked Ieyasu?

Why do you all have to tag along?

Well, Ieyasu and the others can all use Supreme Nobility, right?

Yeah! We shoulda just asked them to teach us in the first place.

You want a guide to Supreme Nobility, then...?

Hiya!

Yukimura The "Shukushazutsu" firearm wielded by Sanada Nobushige (Yukimura) in the Siege of Osaka

Aha, so you're up and about then, are you, Brown Bess?

Don't you go overdoing it, now.

Hidetata The beloved arquebus of Tokugawa Hidetata, the second Tokugawa Shogun

Your very first use of Supreme Nobility

takes a lot out of you both physically and mentally.

Is it just the two of you here?

The shogun ain't around?

If you're looking for him, he's-

Ieyasu The beloved arquebus of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.

He's right here. And what brings all four of you here?

Ieyasu, Hidetada, Yukimura...

I heard the three of you carried me back here after I collapsed.

So I... just wanted to say thanks.

Is that all? Anyone would have done the same.

I appreciate your sentiment, though.

Well, I take that to mean you are here for more than just that, then.

You want to learn how to harness Supreme Nobility?

Hmm, that's tough since it just kind of happened out of the blue one day

while we were out and about.

You never give much thought to your actions, do you?

Well you go ahead and explain it, then.

I... merely served as a loyal retainer to my lord,

and as a result I was gifted with Supreme Nobility and...

That's basically the same exact thing!

Oh, what has become of me?!

So is that it, then?

Not like I could tell ya.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure where "nobility" comes to play in any of these stories.

What about you, Ieyasu?

You know, I wonder that myself.

I was so engrossed in what was going on

that I hardly remember what pushed me towards Supreme Nobility.

That's why I want to find out.

I want to learn to use this.

Well, Brown Bess...

I would say I'm not the person you should be asking.

What on Earth am I supposed to do, then?

Hey there. Long time no see, my boy.

Have you been well?

Hall...

So you remembered me, did you?

I guess it must be my charms, eh?

Hall An American breech-loading firearm sent as a gift to the Tokugawa shogunate from the Perry expedition.

I'm like a star!

What does a drifter like you want from me now?

Let's just say I heard word from a little bird, shall we?

It told me a certain someone unlocked their Supreme Nobility.

And what does that have to do with y-

I just thought I'd introduce a lovely gal to you to celebrate!

Let us be off! Into the dazzling nightlife!

I don't have time to waste with you.

Let's just say...

For example, you save an old man from a couple of young ruffians, shall we?

Now those young ruffians get taken away,

but that's no matter, they were up to no good, right?

Are you-

But let's consider that maybe those youngsters perhaps had a reason to do as they did.

Huh?

Now here's part two!

Let's say the children were excluded from the rations, and have no family to aid them.

How do they survive?

What are you getting at?!

Jeez, watch where you're walking!

Don't gimme that dumb look you ol' geezer!

You were the ones who bumped into-

Yeah?

Did that old man do it for them...?

I'll tell you, there is quite a lot left out there in the world that you just don't see.

But if you'd just open your eyes up to it all,

I'm sure the world would seem a much bigger place, you know.

Hall...

Oh, but spare me that burning glare.

I'm not one for the heat!

Forgive me, but I can't be here just for you, because the rest of the world still awaits me!

See you!

I never should have even bothered listening to him...

See the unseen, huh...?

Nicola! Noel!

Goodness, what a bunch of troublemakers.

Gah, that Rapp, why does he have to be such a pain over sneaking a little snack?

I know, Noel! Why don't we dig a nice little pitfall for him to stumble into?

Nicola, that's a nice idea!

Let's fill it with swampy water, too.

If you're gonna go that far, you might as well fill it with poison ivy and lots of slimy slugs too, right?

Well that would be going a bit overb-

Huh?

There you are.

Hmm?

Now now, it's unbecoming of you to be up to such trickery the moment you get home, Gretl.

I was just saying hello, Onkel!

I see you two are back, then.

Only just now, yes.

Now tell me Rapp, are these the two?

Yes, these two came from the pistols brought back the other day.

So... who are you?

My name is Leopold.
