With in this time period is a small village that gets raided by bandits during every harvest season. The villagers can't take it anymore, so they decided to send out some volunteers to the city to recruit some samurai to help defend their land. In exchange for defense, the samurai that get hired for the job will receive rice for free of charge.

Quotes Kambei Shimada: How does it look?
Heihachi Hayashida: I think she'll fly for us.
Kambei Shimada: Good. As soon as the repairs are done, we'll head for the Capital.
Heihachi Hayashida: All right.
Shichiroji: Well, it might not be much of a warship, but it certainly is faster than that old wagon. It's too bad we don't have time to find something with defenses.
Kambei Shimada: The Capital isn't going to wait for us.
Kikuchiyo: So we're finally gonna strike?
Shichiroji: How many years has it been since we've taken on one of those airships? I'd say I'm nervous, but I keep thinking of what Gorobei-san would say if he were here.
Kikuchiyo: Yeah! He'd say, "Nervous? You gotta be kidding? Get out there and die with honor!"
[Komachi starts bawling]
Kirara Mikumari: Komachi, what's the matter?
Komachi Mikumari: I don't want Kiku to die with honor!
Kikuchiyo: Oh! W-w-listen, I- I was just- well... this is tough guy talk! Who could ever die and leave you behind, sprout?
Komachi Mikumari: Really, promise?
Kikuchiyo: Here, I'll tell you what. I want you to hang onto this for me. It's my proof that I'm a samurai.
Komachi Mikumari: The scroll that you stole?
Kikuchiyo: I didn't steal it, I found it! Anyway, it doesn't matter. You're the first person who ever accepted me as a samurai, who believed in me. So I want you to have my most valuable possession. Keep it safe for me and I'll be back for it. Promise.
Komachi Mikumari: It's a deal. But you have to promise me something even more important.
Kikuchiyo: Alright. Lay it on me.
Komachi Mikumari: 'kay, don't laugh, but when I grow up, I want you to be my husband.
Kikuchiyo: [Kikuchiyo gasps and is moved to tears] In this heap of metal? I can't even farm rice!
Komachi Mikumari: Well, I love you just the way you are, Kiku. I'll even cook for you!
Kikuchiyo: Oh, I'm so happy! Are you even sure about this, sprout?
Komachi Mikumari: I'm sure!
Kikuchiyo: Oh, if I get older, Komachi, I'm gonna be your husband! You don't know how happy you've made me!
