Naoe Kanetsugu Affection Skits/Bronze

**In front of the River**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
…Uff. Ahead from here is a river, huh.

**Player**
What should we do…? We need to deliver the materials to the village, if we can’t cross the river…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Well, it’s not such a big river. I can manage it somehow, but… you are the problem.

**Player**
Wh-what should we do…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Haa, that stupid package. Come here. I’ll carry you on my back.

**Player**
Eh, eeh!? That, that’s bad! Everyone else is crossing on their own, so I’ll walk as well!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
It’s gonna be a problem if you say you’re exhausted afterwards. It’s not a big deal, so come on and get on my back.

**Player**
….uh. S-sorry…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Nobody is going to blame you. Well, let’s cross the river.

By the way, if I fall down, I’ll pull you with me. That’s why I’m allowing it.

**Tea Buddies**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Phew. Jeez, if Kenshin-sama isn’t here I feel so listless. Oi, *Player*! Bring some tea.

**Player**
Yees.
(Jeez, he sure is rude to those beneath him…)
Here you go.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
…Oi. What is this.

**Player**
It’s tea.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Why did you only bring one cup? Where is yours? Bring it here immediately!

**Player**
Eh… eeehh?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
You’re my tea drinking partner, aren’t you! Don’t you get it!?

**Player**
(Ehh! So that’s how it is…. Jeez, it’s hard to understand him.)

**Smell of other Men**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Sniff, sniff…. That’s Kagekatsu’s smell…

You were with him before?

**Player**
Yes, we were requested to prepare the materials for the evening’s war council.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
You two are really good friends, huh.

**Player**
Eh, i-is that so? But, Kanetsugu-san definitely has Kagekatsu-san’s smell as well.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Is that so? Well, we are childhood friends.

But, werwolves’ noses are really good. I’m gonna be suspicious if you have various men’s smells on you.

**Player**
Ah, there isn’t going to be anything to be suspicious about!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Yeah, I know. I just wanted to try saying it.

**Player**
(Was that a warning…? I don’t really get you, Kanetsugu-san.)

**Waiting for Kenshin**

**Player**
It’s already time to leave, but Kenshin-san is late.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Your work is being delayed, right. The general is very busy.
Huahh…. Even so, I’m getting tired of waiting. Oi, lend me your shoulder for a bit.

Let me sleep until Kenshin-sama comes back.

**Player**
Eh? Wai…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
What. You got some complaints?

**Player**
I don’t, but… uhm..!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Well, then it’s fine, right. Lend me your shoulder.

**Player**
(Eeh!? What should I do… He fell asleep…!)

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Su… su….. (sleeping sounds)

**Drinking Tea**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
…Ah. Tea sure is calming.

**Player**
As expected, the first tea of the season is really delicious.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Hey, is there tea where you’re from?

**Player**
There is. I always drink a lot of Japanese tea.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Is that so… Tea doesn’t change wherever you are.

**Player**
Werewolves like tea as well, right.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
The humans in the area are the same. We don’t particularly eat raw meat.

Tea being delicious is an unchanging fact, right. Ah, *Player*, give me one more cup. The second cup has a strong and delicious flavor.

**Picky Eater**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ah, *Player*. Come here, eat this.

**Player**
Eh… what a big tomato. But why?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
…It’s a present. Just take it already.

**Player**
Thank you. I’m going to make dinner with this.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
No, don’t. You eat it. It’s only for you.

**Player**
But why? Could it be…. you don’t like tomatoes?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Sh-shut up… It can’t be helped. “Don’t be picky” Kagekatsu said as he forced this on me..

….how annoying! That’s why you eat it!

**Player**
If that’s how it is, then I can’t ignore Kagekatsu-san’s orders. Kanetsugu-san, please eat it properly.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Crap, you’re also the enemy! Are you all resenting me! Don’t make me eat tomatoes!

**Kenshin’s Diet**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Oi, *Player*. It’s about the food you made.

There has been a bit too much salt lately. Decrease it a bit.

**Player**
Was it too salty? I’m sorry, I’m going to put in less.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
No, that’s not it. I don’t really care. I’m worried about Kenshin-sama.
He’s eating umeboshi everyday so he gets more than enough salt. We should pay attention to his diet.

Kenshin-sama is our important general. You should also pay attention to his physical condition.

**Player**
….I, I understand. That’s right, if you look at it long term, his health can worsen.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
That’s right. I’m depending on you.

**Player**
(Kanetsugu-san really is a wonderful, thoughtful person… huh.)

**Eating Out**

**Player**
Kanetsugu-san, I’m sorry for being late…! Thank you for waiting…!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
It’s fine, I just arrived anyway. …You have been with Kagemochi-san? ….You have his scent.

**Player**
…Yes, we suddenly were entrusted with some tasks, so I couldn’t get out quickly…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Is that so. Well, now the general stores are already closed. We have to do it another time.

**Player**
Uhm, if you would like, do you want to eat some dinner afterwards? Please let me make up for coming late…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
….Well, we don’t want to come out here for nothing.

**Player**
…! Thank you. What do you want to eat, Kanetsugu-san?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Hmm, whatever you want to eat is fine. Ah, wait, I’m in the mood for tempura.

**Player**
Well, then let’s look for a store. I want to eat tempura, too.

(I’m glad that Kanetsugu's mood has recovered. I’m a bit happy.)

**Approval**

**Player**
Kanetsugu-san, you and Kagekatsu-san are always together. You are good friends, right.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Saying that we are friends, it’s because we grew up together.

**Player**
So you are like brothers, right.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Something like that. Well, he’s always meddling in my life. (urk)

He’s going to succeed the Uesugi clan in the future, I’ve decided to serve him. That’s how it is.

**Player**
As a general, Kagekatsu-san approves of you, right.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
If I wouldn’t be approved of, I wouldn’t be here right now. If Kenshin-sama would say so, I would have to leave.

But if I weren’t here, Kagekatsu would be useless, so I’m not going to leave. Everbody is gonna be troubled if I’m not here, you know?

**Player**
Ah, yes… is that so…?

**Lunch Break**

**Player**
Kanetsugu-san, I brought lunch. Do you want to take a little break?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Oh, it’s already this late. Now that you’re saying it, I’m starving. Oh, that’s miso soup, isn’t it.

**Player**
Yes, Kanetsugu-san you said before that you like miso soup. So I tried making some.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ohh, so you remembered? You have a good memory. Well done.

**Player**
Th, thank you…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ah, after sweating the salt of the miso soup feels nice. Right, next time, I’ll use the miso I got before. And let’s cook it with a bit garnish.

Then, why don’t we drink something next time? Kenshin-sama will also be pleased.

**Player**
Y-yes…

(He has a lot of demands… Well, now that there are expectations, I’ll work hard next time.)

**Cleanliness**

**Player**
Kanetsugu-san, I brought the dust cloth.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Oi, don’t come inside with your dirty feet!! Jeez, you’re late, give it to me quickly.

Well then… I’m starting now.

**Player**
…Kanetsugu-san, you sure like to keep things clean.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ah? Is that bad? I hate it when my room is dirty.

If you get it, go away. You’ll be covered in dust.

**Player**
(He’s wiping it with such zeal… How admirable… I should also clean my room.)

I’m seeing you a bit differently now.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ah!? What did you say!?

**Player**
No, nothing. Well, I’ll be going. Do your best with cleaning.

**Studying**

**Player**
Haah. I should finish my studies and go to bed. I have to return that book to Kanetsugu-san…

Kanetsugu-san, are you awake? I came to bring back the book you lend me.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Oh, that book, isn’t it difficult? Did you properly read it?

**Player**
Yes, it was difficult… Kanetsugu-san, what are you doing?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Hm? Reading a strategy book. I still don’t have much experience in it.

Just carelessly practicing isn’t enough, we should also gather some knowledge.

**Player**
(Kanetsugu-san, I thought he was the type to get full marks even without studying so much…)

(He’s studying when you can’t see him doing it. I’m the same, maybe…)

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
…Hm, did you properly review it? …This may look like we are some kind of studious people.

**Blood**

**Player**
You came back from the expedition, good job…. Ka-Kanetsugu-san, is that blood!?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ah…? Ah, I made a blunder today. It’s not a serious wound.

**Player**
But there is so much blood flowing out…!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
I normally don’t get injured, so this much doesn’t surprise me.

**Player**
Y-you need to be treated immediately…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Don’t panic. Hey, come here.

*Saying so, he embraced me and gently stroked my trembling back.*

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’m gonna get treated properly after this. Don’t worry.

Since it’s me, I’m gonna be fine, calm down. I don’t have an intention to die and leave you behind. Don’t make light of me, idiot.

**Suspicious Woman**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
You’ve become very experienced, huh.

**Player**
Yes, thanks to you.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
When I first looked at you… the strange clothes you were wearing, I was troubled thinking about what a stupid woman came to us.

**Player**
S-stupid….!?

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
I thought you were suspicious, but Kenshin-sama decided to protect you. So I had to obey him.
So you should refrain from doing things that will put your life at stake.

You won’t be saved everytime.

**Player**
….. I don’t want to burden everybody, so I’m going to work hard.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Well, it is not like I won’t praise my friends. But I kind of want you to some stupid things.

**Sweet Side**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Are you finished with your work?

**Player**
Ah, yes. I just finished.

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
I was in town since there was a sale going on. Eat this gratefully.

**Player**
Wah, what? ….Dango! They look delicious!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
See ya.

**Player**
(Ah, he’s gone… I forgot to thank him.)
(Haah~, eating sweets after finishing work! I’m so happy! Kanetsugu-san can also be gentle sometimes.)

(Delicious… I can’t forget to thank him later.)

**Headache**

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Ah… I have a headache.

**Player**
Eh, are you alright?
(What should I do? There is no headache medicine in this age… maybe an ice pillow will help?)

Pl-please wait a bit! I’m gonna get an ice pillow…. kyah!

Sorry, I became flustered… Uhm, what was it… right, ice! Ah, first I have to get out the futon…

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Shaddup! You’re making my heard hurt with all that noise!

**Player**
Hya, sorry…!

**Naoe Kanetsugu**
Tch…. don’t shrink up. I’m sorry for shouting.
I’m going to lie down, so come and wake me up in an hour. I don’t need ice.

I’m depending on you.
