While the ladies of Yoshiwara manor enjoyed their time with stories about folklores, in the other hand Nameless Knight enjoyed walking through the silence and the serene nature these lands now have offered.
But as the sun hung high in the sky, past the quarter of the day, the nameless knight walked the long road beneath the relentless summer heat. The sun's embrace was both harsh and unforgiving, its rays kissing the earth with an intensity that could take a toll on the human body. Beads of sweat trickled down the knight's forehead as he trudged forward, the heat clinging to him like an invisible weight.
Heat, when unchecked, could lead to dire consequences. The knight, fortunate to be near the sea, escaped the clutches of heatstroke that could afflict those far from the cooling embrace of water. He could feel the sea breeze on his face, a welcome respite from the oppressive heat that threatened to engulf him.
Venturing along the beach, the nameless knight was met with a breathtaking sight. The azure sea and the blue sky danced in perfect harmony, their colors intertwining like a celestial ballet. When sunlight kissed the water, it transformed into a glistening sea of diamonds, each glimmer a crystal-clear reflection that adorned the captivating view.
The white sand beckoned to him, prompting the knight to reminisce about the beaches in his homeland. In contrast to the familiar shores he once knew, this Japanese beach offered a beauty he had not witnessed before.
His mind wandered down memory lane, recalling the picturesque scenery of his homeland. He envisioned rolling hills, lush greenery, and a landscape that bore the mark of his cherished memories. However, the tranquility of his recollections was interrupted by the stark reality of his current whereabouts.
The salty breeze graced his nose, reminiscent of the time when he served as a squire to a noble lord. Memories flooded back, vivid images of his former master shaping him into the skilled knight he had become. The scars that adorned his body told the tale of battles fought and victories earned, notably the pivotal moment in Vienna that elevated him to the rank of a knight.
As he traversed the beach, the juxtaposition of the serene landscape and the loneliness that clung to him became palpable. Homesickness gnawed at his heart, a desire to return to the place he once called home. Yet, amid the waves of nostalgia, an unexpected presence intruded upon his solitude.
A random figure appeared, seemingly drawn to the knight adorned in robes. Curiosity gleamed in the stranger's eyes as it observed the knight's unique appearance. The nameless knight, shrugging off the intrusion, continued on his path, only to find the inquisitive fellow following closely behind.
Who was this person, and what curiosity led to the knight's side? The answer remained shrouded in mystery, adding a layer of intrigue to the unfolding journey beneath the scorching summer sun.
