    Quoting Wikipedia: "When Yoshinaka was defeated there, with only a few of his soldiers standing, he told Tomoe Gozen to flee because he wanted to die with his foster brother Imai no Shiro Kanehira and he said that he would be ashamed if he died with a woman."

    I tend to take it literally, because AFAIK that was indeed the mentality of the time

    Do you remember the scene in Code Geass S2 where Lelouch pretends to betray Kallen when he's about to be captured so that she'd run away and survive rather then dying with him? I imagine it as basically like that.

    So do we have any other website to find more info about Tomoe? Or a book that I can read?

    I mean, I would like to trust Wikipedia but you know... it's Wikipedia, I can't really put my full trust on it.

Now escape to wherever, and mourn for my afterlife", but she would not budge. After he admonished her further, she finally though "Very well, if there is a fitting opponent. I shall fight one last time for you", looked around, and found Onda no Hachirou Moroshige of Musashi, a famed warrior of great strength, with a group of thirty men. Tomoe ran into the group, right up to Onda, grabbed and pulled him off, and as she shoved him against the front of the saddle, she twisted his head off and threw it away. She threw off her armor and tearfully bid goodbye, escaping to the eastern regions.
    My kobun teacher is probably rolling in her future grave. Maybe I should send a postcard to say gomenasorry.

    Now after I finish TLing I see google books had a TL anyway. Why do I even try?

    ... well anyway the point I wanted to make is that him wanting her to mourn for him instead of dying with him seems rather nice.

    For those that haven't read it.
    ��️ The scientific name of cacao is Theobroma cacao - said to mean "the food of the gods."

    ��️ Please do not feed the pigeons with chocolate. This might kill them.

    ��️ Coo. (Semiramis-sama secret, number one. She can't sleep comfortably without an eye mask.)

    ��️ ※※※Collecting information※※※

    ��️ Cultural enlightenment - it is said that once, cacao beans were used as currency.

    ��️ Greenhorns, keep your traps shut.

    ��️ The Sky Gardens are fully irrigated. The throne room is kept at a cool 15 degrees Celsius.

    ��️ A certain bearded elderly Rider who sent cacao seeds as presents looks at the gardens and grins.

    ��️ Accident report - a giant cacao fruit fell and hit an elderly bearded Rider on the head. Sent to the medical room.

    ��️ Bunyan confesses that she might not be able to bring herself to chop down a cacao tree. Identity crisis.

    ��️ There is a jaguar looking jealously from afar into the farm gardens. Electric fences may be set up.

    ��️ Some child servants have been mildly traumatised by a certain chocolate movie. No more blueberries.

    ��️ Eating cacao beans without processing them into chocolate is against the regulations of the Sky Gardens.

    ��️ "We didn't think of buying them."

    ��️ A certain nurse is looking at the medicinal properties of cacao. The sedative effects of punching someone with a fistful of cacao have been noteworthy.

    ��️ "Mention chocolate and 'Jaguar' comes to mind. Isn't that so, nya?" Pieces of paper with this written on them have been delivered regularly to the Gardens.

    ��️ Apparently, the chocolate fountain in the throne room has a wonderful secret.

    ��️ Lancers taking better to hoes than their spears - another day of precious labour awaits.
