"Konoyarou! Who dares to trespass on our land?"
Before the family lord Yukishiro Chio and Kitaniwakawa reacted, one of the lesser leaders of the Yukishiro family slammed the table and shouted furiously.
Among the thousand or so residents of the quiet village, only a small portion of that population were members of the Yukishiro family. However, nearly all the other villagers worked for the family. Some of them were servants, and some were guards. The Yukishiro family also kept an armory in the village in case of violence. Yukishiro family had lorded over this village for over a few hundred years and had accumulated over time many weapons, including heavy firearms.
