Chapter 1: Act 6: Scene 2


 * Not long after that.
 * Kokutan-douji left the tailor shop and met one of his friends, Inukichi, near the teahouse.
 * Inukichi: "Hey! How's it going with Kayo-san? Is she beautiful?"
 * Inukichi asked while sutffing his cheeks with dumplings.
 * Kokutan: "Whether she's beautiful doesn't really matter, now does it?...... well, if you asked me, maybe she is beautiful......"
 * Inukichi: "That's a good thing, isn't it? Better she be beautiful than ugly...... So, how 'bout it? Think you actually met your mother?"
 * Kokutan: "I haven't decided yet...... Hmm, it's impossible to describe. I'm certain this isn't the first time I've met her."
 * While Douji was sipping tea, he answered Inukichi's question.
 * Inukichi: "Anyway, you came down here just for that. You gotta completely make sure of it."
 * Kokutan: "And what about you? Have you found an inn?"
 * Inukichi: "Yeah, I did. I decided to work and live at the foreign trading house atop the hill."
 * Kokutan: "Foreign trading house?"
 * Inukichi: "The Freezis Foundation firm's place. To start, I came with you to Onigashima originally because I was interested in foreign culture."
 * Kokutan: "That's true. You said there were lot of foreigners in Onigashima so you'd have many opportunities to learn about it."
 * Inukichi: "They also seem to be short on labor. I got hired pretty quickly. There's this strangely young-look'n old lady, this black-haired woman that gives off this mysterious vibe, this jerky samurai bastardwell, a lot of people, so I probably won't get bored for now. Besides...... heh heh heh."
 * Kokutan: "What's with the face?"
 * Inukichi: "There's this maid called Bufuko-chan there, and she's cute! By golly, I fell in love the moment I saw her."
 * Hearing this, Douji made a huge "Haaaaaaa" of a sigh.
 * Kokutan: "...... You're totally working there because of this girl, aren't you?"
 * Inukichi: "Oh, you caught me?"
 * Kokutan: "Because when you work hard, Inukichi, there's usually a woman's involved. Well, I guess it's okay."
 * Inukichi: "Anyway, we going to be staying a while? Well, let's take our time...... oh, waitress, a second helping of dumplings."
 * Inukichi placed the skewers for the dumplings he finished on his dish.
 * While looking at the people passing through the hill, Kokutan-douji asked Inukichi this.
 * Kokutan: "How's Saru doing?"
 * Inukichi: "She apparently went around doing lots of exploring right away. The "legendary blades", right? Look'n for clues about them."
 * Kokutan: "I hope she finds them."
 * Inukichi: "How'll she do that? Apparently she originally only had the information conveyed by the clan's founder. "The blades sleep in Onigashima." How's she supposed to find those things with just that...... since the monkey girl's steadfast about it while missing so much, I'm a little worried." (not sure about that last part)
 * Kokutan: "Well, when we have the free time, we'll try looking for them together...... there seems to be a lot of other things to be worried about in this town."
 * Douji's eyes looked just a little down.
 * Inukichi: "What do you mean?"
 * Kokutan: "There've been a lot of nighttime murders here in Enbizaka. They're all foreigners but I don't get the feelings it's a clear amateur. They smell of blood.
 * Inukichi: "...... Just leave it be. You want to immediately stick your neck out for anything. It's because of just that that we took forever getting here."
 * Kokutan: "I can't leave the bad guys alone."
 * Inukichi: "Well, it doesn't put the people grateful to you in a bad mood so it's fine, I guess..... oh, they came."
 * Inukichi received the additional dumplings he ordered and threw them in his wide-open mouth.
