PoT: Translated: Need Beyond Want

Need Beyond Want

Echizen enters his first battle as a samurai of Uesugi, against the forces of Kaga under Tachibana. Drama, I-3

They would probably have been fine if Echizen's opponent hadn't seen himself about to be caught between the two of them and panicked. Momo reacted automatically to the man's desperate, circling slash.

So did Echizen.

*laughing* Beautiful translation of the awkward doubles. Lucky Ginka!

And I love the Tezuka-Oishi dynamic. *purrs*

Oishi...Oishi-okaasan~! :3

XD! I love the camaraderie you've written for Momoshirou and Ryoma here, because it's so lovely and has that...that "boy" thing going on with sharp pointy objects.

The little bits of introspection from Tezuka are very nice. Considering I'm helplessly biased against Tezuka, that's amazing. But it's so true. That what drives Ryoma on isn't right for a samurai, that it'll probably be his downfall one day, or one of those dramatic ends.
