[masahiro and okuda on the train to skipstein]
Masahiro: [sigh] can this train go any faster?.
[okuda looks at masahiro confused]
Okuda: what do you mean?.
Masahiro: It's been three days since we left the village.
Okuda: ok.
Masahiro: It would have taken me twenty four to forty eight hours to get there.
[okuda smiles]
Okuda: man you're impatient.
[masahiro looks at okuda surprised]
Masahiro: what?.
Okuda: think about basic battle tactics. You don't go head first into battle, you go around then strike.
Masahiro: What does that have to do with it?.
Okuda: we're going around so we don't get attacked by charge demons.
Masahiro: oh,That makes sense.
[after sometime otagi enters the passenger car]
Otagi: only ten more miles to go before we arrive to skipstein.
Masahiro: [sigh] finally.
Okuda: I know right.
[masahiro smiles]
Masahiro: Look who's impatient now.
Okuda: what?.
[after sometime the train arrives at skipstein]
[otagi enters the passenger car]
Otagi: Alright everyone, welcome to skipstein!.
Masahiro: [sigh] alright let's go.
Okuda: ok.
[masahiro and okuda leave the train]
Masahiro: Hold on a second I'm gonna go ask him where the shopping district is.
Okuda: ok.
[masahiro walks over to otagi]
Masahiro: Hey, where's the shopping district?.
[otagi smiles]
Otagi: you're new here huh?.
Masahiro: yeah.
Otagi: well it's in the center of the city
Masahiro: Alright, thanks.
Otagi: no problem.
[masahiro walks back to okuda]
Masahiro: It's in the center of the city.
Okuda: [sigh] why is all of the important stuff in the center of the city?>
Masahiro: No idea.
Okuda: Hey also, what are we going to do with the people?.
[masahiro puts his hand on okudas shoulder]
[masahiro smiles]
Masahiro: we're going to leave them here.
[okuda looks at masahiro surprised]
Okuda: What, we can't do that to them.
Masahiro: It's better for them to stay here where it's safe than for them to be in danger constantly.
Okuda: You're right but will they have a place to stay?.
Masahiro: Who knows.
Okuda: Then why do you say it's safe here?.
Masahiro: because there's walls blocking them from the demons, they're not constantly face to face with them like how we'll be.
Okuda: oh.
Masahiro: Well, let's get going.
Okuda: ok.
[masahiro and okuda walk to the shopping district]
Masahiro: I think there's a man at the shopping district that my father used to know.
Okuda: what?.
Masahiro: Yeah, he could probably get us some weapons.
Okuda: ok, but do you know where he's at?.
Masahiro: All I remember is the sign that said yoshidas weapons.
Okuda: Do you think it'll be easy to find?.
Masahiro: Who knows, the shopping district is huge.
Okuda: [sigh] ok.
[after sometime masahiro and okuda arrive at the shopping district]
Masahiro: Well, here we are.
[okuda looks at the shopping district in shock]
Okuda: You weren't lying about it being huge.
Masahiro: I know, and lucky for us.
[masahiro points at the sign that says yoshidas weapons]
Masahiro: It's one of the front stores.
Okuda: [heh] That's convenient.
[masahiro smiles]
Masahiro: I know, the oldest stores are in the front and the newest stores are mainly for the citizens in the back.
Okuda: this city is really organized huh.
Masahiro: yeah.
[masahiro and okuda walk to yoshidas weapons]
Yoshida: How can i help you two?.
Masahiro: Yes, we're looking for new swords.
Yoshida: oh, well.
[yoshida puts nine swords on the counter but two are covered]
Masahiro: These are nice swords.
[yoshida smiles]
Yoshida: Thank you.
[okuda picks up a black and gold sword]
Okuda: how much for this one?.
Yoshida: Oh that.
Yoshida: That's about 1 million yen.
[okuda smiles]
Okuda: as expected.
[okuda hands yoshida the 1 million yen]
Okuda: I guess working for the emperor had its benefits.
[masahiro smiles]
Masahiro: I guess it did.
[masahiro points at the two swords that are covered]
Masahiro: Hey, what about those?
[yoshida smiles]
Yoshida: You'll have to write your name down before you see them.
Masahiro: oh,ok.
[masahiro grabs a piece of paper and writes masahiro kusakabe on it]
[yoshida grabs the piece of paper]
Yoshida: kusakabe huh.
Masahiro: yes,I believe my father did business here sometimes.
[yoshida smiles]
Yoshida: Well, he did but then he stopped coming.
Masahiro: Yeah, he got killed on the train coming to get the next shipment of practice swords.
Yoshida: Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Masahiro: It's alright.
Yoshida: Well, how's your mother doing?.
Masahiro: [sigh] she killed herself not too long after my father died.
Yoshida: Well, I'm sorry to hear about that.
Masahiro: It's alright.
Yoshida: well,The world hasn't been too nice to you huh.
[yoshida un covers the two swords]
Yoshida: Well,Here they are.
[masahiro sees a white and blue sword and a black and red sword]
[masahiro smiles]
Masahiro: These are nice.
[yoshida smiles]
Yoshida: I thought you would like them.
[masahiro tries to pick up the black and red sword but yoshida slaps his hand away]
Yoshida: don't touch them.
Masahiro why?.
