Masahiro bathed himself with the water, carefully rinsing the dried bits of mud and dirt of his hair. "Please ring the bell if you need anything." the servant said before walking away. Narachika and Masahiro were quickly made comfortable with clean clothes, and while Narachika engaged Lord Yutari with the matter at hand, Masahiro was led to a bath. Masahiro and Narachika were quickly welcomed into the main hall. He quickly directed his servants to prepare a bath a some clean clothes for his guests to change into. The middle aged man turned out to be the head of the household, Chogu Yutari. "Im am so sorry that my servants treated you two with such poor manners."

They must live very well here.Īs Narachika and Masahiro were dressed too poorly, they were not allowed to enter any of the buildings. A stable for the horses stood in the corner. Store houses lined the four interior walls and the architecture of the main hall and lesser courtyards was intricate and ostentatious. But the door was open jsut as she decided to act and the group was lead inside.Ĭhogu Yutari's mansion was vast and luxurious.

Taiin thought to herself, but she reined in her winds none the less. Im kidding." Narachika laughed as he turned to the still frantic Masahiro.

He was silent for a moment before a resolute expression settled on his face.
