Ro…nin?
Koutarou had a confused expression as this was the first time he had ever heard such a word.
"What is a ronin?"
"You can understand it as a wandering swordsman," Seiji explained while wiping away the blood at his mouth.
"Oh…" Koutarou glanced over at Seiji's longsword. "A samurai… is that right?"
"It's fine if that's how you look at it."
"Samurai-sama… why were you collapsed here?"
"Because I was fatigued and injured."
"Injuries are no good… Should I take you to an apothecary?"
"No need." Seiji paused for a moment. "Could you please tell me more about the town?'
"About the town?"
"Information about the town, such as how many people live there, who's in charge, how long this town has been around for, and so on."
Why would this person want to know such things? Koutarou was rather confused.
This samurai named "Harano" was truly strange in every way.
