Chapter 1: Act 3: Scene 9


 * Gossip--1st: Jahime
 * [Space]
 * Once upon a time, there was a very selfish princess named Jahime.
 * Jahime spent lots of money simply for her own pleasure.
 * On top of that, suddenly one day, she began to say things like this.
 * "Give all of this Jakoku to me."
 * [Space]
 * Back then, Jakoku still wasn't one big country.
 * It was a number of small countries and Jahime's country was just one of them.
 * [Space]
 * Jahime allied with a witch who came from a foreign country and steadily went around destroying the neighboring countries.
 * When all of Jakoku was about to be consumed with fear of Jahime and the witch, one young samurai rose against them.
 * He descended from the same foreign countries as the witch and was able to deal with her mysterious powers.
 * It was said he could sprout wings from his back and fly through the sky.
 * [Space]
 * The samurai and his fellows who came from foreign countries as him confronted Jahime and her forces.
 * One was a sorceress, blowing away Jahime's soldiers in the winds she created.
 * Another was her disciple, kicking about her soldiers with a strange matchlock.
 * And finally an old woman wearing the mask of a monkey, who created sharp blades for the samurai.
 * [Space]
 * When Jahime's defeat drew near, the old women in the monkey mask was killed by the witch.
 * While shedding tears of grief, the samurai finally defeated Jahime at Jagahara, driving the witch from the country.
 * [Space]
 * The sorceress and her disciple returned to their countries.
 * And then the samurai was given the land of Izasa in the south by the fuedal lord and allowed to govern there.
 * The daughter of the old woman in the monkey mask turned up in this land, making a respectable tomb for her mother, and lived in this land as she had.
 * He kept the blades he received from the old woman in the monkey mask as an heirloom with the upmost devotion.
