Shin: 'Samurai Country'.
Intsert: After the war...
Shin: It's been a long time since our country was called that.
The skies of Edo the samurai once risked their lives to protect
once again have the ships of foreign lands flying through it.
The streets of Edo that the samurai once risked their souls to protect
once again have aliens walking with a swagger in them.
Title: Lesson 669
Farewell

Page 6:
Shin: It's been
two years since then.
And while the scars of war
still very much remain,
One step at a time,
Edo is returning to how it used to look.

Page 7:
SFX: GOU
Guys: RUUUUUUN!!
The ship is...
falliiiiing!!
SFX: GOGOGOGOGO
Guys: Where are we supposed to run?!
With something that big falling on us, wherever we go, we'll...
Sacchan: Just run, now!!

Page 8:
Guys; I knew this was too reckless!!
SFX: GOOA SHAAA
Not only is it not stopping, it's only gaining momentum!!
How is it on your end, Hasegawa?!!
SFX: DODO
Hase: The sea walls are breaking one after another!
We can't hold out much longer!!
How long till you can gain control of the system!!
Hankai: We're currently at 43% progress.
We're not there yet. You need to buy us just a little more time.
Guys: ...There's no way we're giving up.
There's no way in hell we're gonna lose this!!

Page 9:
Kagu: Gin-chan!!
Hurry, you gotta get up!!
Shin: Gin-san!!
Gin-san!!
Gin: ...-ow.
I know.

Page 10:
Gin: We can't
drop dead yet.
It can't
end yet.

Page 11:
Gin: 'Cause we
still haven't
accomplished anything.
SFX: GO PAA

Page 12:
Shin: On that day
we were destroyed along with the planet.

Page 13:
SFX: GO GO GO GO GO
SFX: KARA KARA
Shin: And that day,
maybe we were reborn along with the planet, too.

Page 14:
Shin: What makes me think that
is that while Edo
is returning to how it looked before,
something about this scenery
looks different.
Or maybe...
Someone: You moron! I told you that's wrong!
SFX: DOKAAAA

Page 15:
Shop Guy: Even a golden retriever can work a cash register nowadays!
So why is it a human like you can be working here a month and still not be able to handle it?!
I've had useless people like you working here before, ya know!
And they probably died in a ditch somewhere a long time ago!
Jaguar: Hey, shopkeep, that's enough, now.
Kid, forget the register, just get me some milk, would ya?
Shop: Please sir, you mustn't spoil him like that!
Jaguar: Nah, it's just when I look at the samurai these days, they just seem pathetic.
It's been two years since that war where they picked a fight with the entire universe.
It was by the skin of their teeth, but I'm glad they managed to avoid destruction,
but with the country in ruins and exhausted from war, they didn't have the strength to rebuild,
and without cooperation from other countries, they wouldn't be able to feed their people.
So when they started sucking up to everybody around them to keep from dying out, it just felt like looking at a living corpse.
When I see things like that, I just...
SFX: GAH
SFX: GASHAAN
Jaguar: want to extend not just a hand, but also a foot.

Page 16:
Handwritten: GAHHAHHAHHA
SFX: GAH
Shin: Ummm, excuse me.
SFX: DON
Guys: WHa...?!!
SFX: GASHAAAAN
Guys: Who the hell are yoooou?!!
Don't you know we're ambassadors from planet Chatoran?!!
SFX: JAKIN

Page 17:
Shin: Gyaa, gyaa, gyaa, gyaa. Won't you quiet down? What, is it mating season around here?
You were so loud I could hear you over my Best Of Terakado Tsuu Shinpachi Edition.
It's a real annoyance, so please vacate this establishment on the double, or else...
I won't be able
to ignore what you did to that boy.
Because I
used to be him.
So
I'm certain that you... can become strong, too!!
SFX: KAH

Page 18:
Shop: What do you think you're doing making such a ruckus in my shop, you lowliiiives!!
SFX: DOKAAAA
Shop: Are you okay, Mosuke?!! How dare you people do that to my son that just got over being a shut-in and started working!!
SFX: DOGAAA
Shop: I dunno what kinda big shot you are on whatever planet you come from, but I ain't gonna let you throw your weight around here!
This is our country!! And this is my shop!!
SFX: GAH
Guy: We lost all kinds 'a stuff in the war, but in exchange we learned what we can't lose!!
I won't allow you to insule those samurai that taught us that and protected those things!!
SFX: GOH GAH GOH
Guy: You damn planet-glasses-ian!!
Get the hell outta here!!
SFX: DOSHAAA

Page 19:
Jaguars: GUguh.
Damn earthling...!!
You people sure have gotten cocky ever since the war!!
You better not forget this!! This is gonna be an international incident!!
SFX: DOGO GAH GOSU
SFX: ZUZU...
Shin: Hmph.
That's a good shop you've made it into, manager.
Huh...? That's weird... Everything in front of me looks blurry...
It must be tears of joy. Yeah, that's gotta be it...
---Just as I thought,

Page 20:
Shin: I can't become like that man.
When I look at Edo now,
I wonder what exactly that man was.
Everyone's
gotten stronger.
Everyone's
become more resolute.
