The next day, Akimitsu grasped his axe.
"Time to explore," he said to himself.
He ventured behind his house.
The woods beckoned.
As he walked, the trees parted.
A clearing revealed itself.
Akimitsu's eyes widened.
"Amazing!"
Before him lay a hidden workshop.
Tools, materials, and crafting stations.
Everything he needed.
"A blacksmith's paradise!"
Akimitsu's heart raced.
"This must be...Sam's gift."
A note on the door:
"For Akimitsu, the Savior.
May your craft forge a brighter future.

Tears of gratitude filled Akimitsu's eyes.
"Arigatou, Sam-san!"
He began to explore.
Forges, anvils, and hammering stations.
Shelves stocked with rare metals.
A nearby pond for water.
"Perfect!"
Akimitsu's passion ignited.
He envisioned crafting legendary gear.
Protecting Hoshizuro.
Forging a new destiny.
Akira and Rina arrived at the workshop, curious about Akimitsu's latest projects. As they approached, Akimitsu's focus remained fixed on his crafting.
"What's going on?" Akira asked, breaking the silence.
Akimitsu, engrossed in his work, forgot something.
"What's wrong?" Rina inquired.
Akira's eyes sparkled.
"Akimitsu, your sword! Where is it?"
Akimitsu's face lit up.
"I forgot!"
He rushed inside, leaving Akira and Rina exchanging amused glances.
Moments later, Akimitsu returned with the sword.
Opened the sheath.
Examined it carefully.
As he did, a small, unintended release of energy.
A nearby tree trunk split.
Akira and Rina gasped.
"Akimitsu, what's happening?" Rina exclaimed.
Akira approached the sword, his eyes scanning the blade.
Saw an inscription.
"Ryugun-san..."
His eyes widened.
"Akimitsu, this sword...it's connected to Ryugun-san!"
Rina stepped closer.
"Who's Ryugun-san?"
Akira's voice dropped to reverence.
"Ryugun-san...the legendary Savior of Hoshizuro."
Akimitsu's eyes locked onto the inscription.
"Ryugun-san...my sword's creator?"
The trio exchanged stunned glances.
Rina's curiosity sparked.
"Tell us more about Ryugun-san."
Akira's eyes shone.
"Ryugun-san was a hero, a shining star in Hoshizuro's history."
"A bright pearl in everyone's heart," Akira continued.
"He protected our land from darkness."
"United our people."
"Left a legacy of hope."
Akimitsu's grip on the sword tightened.
"This sword...it's a piece of Ryugun-san's legacy."
Rina's voice filled with awe.
