第 39 集: 龍騎在櫻花綻放前向修雷挑戰婚姻競賽

39

Shūrei and company return from Ran province back to the Imperial City. Ryūki tells Shūrei that he can't wait forever for her, because as the emperor, he has a duty to get married. He suggests a contest to her: if he can win her over within a certain length of time, then he wins and she will marry him. If he can't, then she wins; he will never ask her again and he will instead marry Jyūsan-hime, who has succeeded Shusui as head of the court ladies. Shūrei agrees and asks him how long the contest will last; the series ends with Ryūki whispering the deadline "Until the Sakura Blooms" into Shūrei's ear. (Source: Wikipedia)
