A new place, a new community, it felt different compared to the last few places Seiya's been to.
It felt organized and that there was a healthy atmosphere here at this village as opposed to the dynamic between the late lord of ice and her subjects.
Perhaps it's simply due to the philosophy here that made the place seem so fundamentally different, there weren't any signs of grief from the people who walked back and forth from the streets to the buildings or vice versa.
Shoichi walked on ahead, only to be stopped by a guard who didn't recognize him and the two that were far behind him, namely Seiya and Takatsugu.
They were immediately questioned by the lone guard, a mature man wearing a kimono covered partially in armored gear but not entirely seeing as how they weren't an army but had enough armor on for practical reasons.
