It turns out that the travelers Ryoma saved were the local duke and his family. Impressed by Ryoma's various skills and enamored by his personality, they offer to take Ryoma along on their journey.
We were slightly... or rather, very surprised
and almost forgot why we came.
لقد تفاجأنا قليلاً...بل كثيراً حتى أوشكنا 
 .على نسيان هدف زيارتنا
Estábamos algo… O más bien
muy sorprendidos…
Nos hemos llevado una buena sorpresa
y casi olvidamos a qué hemos venido.
Après cette légère… non, grosse surprise,
j’ai failli oublier…
Eravamo un po'... anzi, molto sorpresi 
e ci siamo dimenticati del perché siamo venuti.
Ficamos um pouco, digo, muito surpresos
e quase esquecemos o motivo da visita.
