however I don't think so in that context.

国語辞典 - な

in that context, な correspond to usage of 二.

二 (間投助)
文節末に付いて、相手に言い聞かせるような気持ちを添 える。

I read it as like MMM's post. (and I read 彩珠 = 埼玉 Saitama.)

'shortened なさい or な' is ungrammatical, but I think it's な there by my feeling.
My classical Japanese scholar husband says that in common speech it`s mistaken for the regular "な", but following て is derived from なさん, an older form of なさい.

Whether it is correct in modern context, I can`t say, but everyone around me agrees that as a confirmation な (like with ね) it sounds unnatural. Especially coming from a えらい character.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
