But my death didn’t came. As I looked up, I saw Kokoro, with her Katana against my neck, but unwilling or rather incapabable of making the final strike. After we looked at each other she just let her Katana fall in the sand. I pushed it away with my foot and then knocked her out with the wooden side of my Naginata. I picked her up and found a small shack, which wasn’t really warm or comfortable, but so much better than letting her lie on the beach during this storm. Before I left I wrote a small letter, in which I explained that if she was willing to trust me again, then she could meet me in an inn on the island of Shikoku. I laid the letter next to her and then I left.

As the storm slowly died down I found another fishing town. A bigger village with maybe around a few hundred people living in it. I looked for someone else who could bring me across the sea, to Shikoku. A local soldier approached me, he told me that there is someone who wants to meet me and ask me to follow him. So I let the soldier lead me through the alleyways until we arrived before a small inn. It looked like the storm really hit this building, multiple wood pieces were missing but inside there were still a few guests. One of them was a samurai, who approached me, and wanted to apologise for his behaviour. As I looked him up and down I saw it was the samurai who selfishly wanted my new weapon a few weeks ago. New that he stood before he didn’t really look very threatening. He was a small man with a rather thin body, he told me his name is Asahi. He explained he is not a samurai anymore but instead wants to become a blacksmith, creating weapons and other things for the community around him. I don't trust him, the whole time we spoke he was only eyeing my weapon. I made an excuse to leave and began looking for another inn in which I could stay. After a few minutes of searching I found a larger inn in which I booked a room and laid low for the rest of the night, hoping not to have to meet Asahi another time.
