Toki calls, "Oden-san!!" while others cry, "Toki-chan!!" and "We missed you!!" Oden embraces Momonosuke and Hiyori, calling their names, and says, "I missed you guys as well! Finally, we are together again...!!" Momonosuke greets him with unexpected politeness: "Yes, father!!" Oden notices immediately, "You have grown so much, Momonosuke!!" and then "Huh...?! So polite!!" The retainers greet him less gently: "Welcome back, scum." When Oden asks, "Speaking of manners... where are yours?!" they fire back, "Are you really in the position to demand respect from us?" Page 9: The people of Kuri welcome Oden with joy: "Oden-sama!!" "Oden-sama! Welcome home!!" "Oden-sama!!" Kin'emon tells Toki, "This is wonderful news, Toki-sama!!" Oden is surprised by the warmth: "I did not expect such a warm welcome. I assumed my people would be far more critical..." The retainers explain that Toki changed everything. Kin'emon says, "You have Toki-sama to thank for that!" and another adds, "Toki-sama is incredible... As soon as she was able, she assisted the villagers in any way possible." She never used her status as Oden's wife to her advantage, and every day she worked while telling everyone about Oden's adventures. Now Toki and the children are the most popular people in the country, and no one speaks about Oden's past actions anymore.
