[k] [charaFace A 0] ＠A：Tasuke Gaga ga? [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Musashi That's right. Muramasa. Heard the name before, Onui?[sr]The bane of Tokugawa? [k] ＠Musashi Muramasa is a legendary swordsmith from Kuwana, in Ise Province. He's famous for forging cursed katanas that have wreaked devastation on the Tokugawa family. [k] ＠Musashi He's said to have forged the katana that slew Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather, the one used to assist Ieyasu's eldest son, Nobuyasu, in performing seppuku, and even a shoto that injured Ieyasu himself. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Musashi Basically, any sword bearing the name Muramasa is feared far and wide for the threat it poses to the Tokugawa family! [k] ？1：Legendary katana... ？2：The name “Muramasa” DOES sound kind of familiar. ？！ [charaFace B 0] ＠Musashi Specifically, they refer to katana that have been[sr]forged by the Muramasa school of swordsmithing. [k] ＠Musashi Since you call yourself Senji Muramasa, you must be a disciple of that school... Or maybe even its founder. [k] [charaFace A 13] ＠Onui Founder? [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Musashi Yup.

[k] [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa Yeah, yeah, I know it don't do diddly squat to nourish this body, but hell if I care. Long as I look human, I'll keep right on eating. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa Onui, I know you're excited to have Musashi here, but make sure to eat your breakfast. Don't just spend the whole meal feeding Tasuke his rice porridge.

[k] [charaFace A 1] ＠Onui It was great to hear some of your stories.[sr]They were really fun, too! Can you tell me another one?

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Senji Muramasa It's just a smithy. I suppose there may be a couple special bits here and there. [k] [charaFace C 7] ＠Senji Muramasa After all, I'm a Servant. I ain't got the least notion of whether this idea even belonged to the original Muramasa or not. [k] ？1：The original Muramasa? ？！ [charaFace C 8] ＠Senji Muramasa I'm just a swordsmith. I never did nothin'[sr]to make me worthy of becoming a Heroic Spirit. [k] [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa Well, I will say that my smithing skills are on par with the gods. But the problem is my accomplishments. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa I never slew a hundred men,[sr]never saved a nation, yadda yadda. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa So I never quite made the cut for getting a[sr]Spirit Origin worthy of being a Heroic Spirit. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa That I somehow ended up in some damn situation where some fool needed my help anyway must mean the gods saw fit to give me a chance. [k] [charaFace C 8] ＠Senji Muramasa This body, this mind, even his fated path[sr]must have been similar to Muramasa's. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa This me might be someone who lived[sr]a similar life, who lost his name. [k] [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa Maybe he's a smith associated with the Muramasa school, hell maybe he's one of my descendants or somethin'.

Long as you're clear[sr]on that, that's all that matters. [k] [charaFace C 2] ＠Senji Muramasa That said, I still don't understand why I'm a damned Saber. I make swords, not use 'em! I ain't no Saber! [k] ＠Senji Muramasa Ugh, what a damn pain. If I'm a Saber, then why'd I end up here in this workshop with these skills? Don't make a lick of sense! [k] ？1：I wonder if this is a magecraft workshop then. ？2：Maybe it's acting as a kind of barrier? ？！ [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa It's just a smithy. A place for a smith to swing his hammer. Even if it does have something extra stuck to it, at base that's all it is. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa At any rate, my name is Muramasa.[sr]Senji Muramasa. [k] [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa I'm a Rogue Servant, with no summoner.[sr]I'm sure you know what that means, [%1]. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Musashi ...Hang on. If you don't have a summoner,[sr]doesn't that make you just like Lord Inshun? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 2] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Senji Muramasa No, it doesn't. Just so we're clear, I got nothin' to do with that group of monsters. Not a damn thing. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa I was called here by the gods, not humans.[sr]That much, I'm sure about. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa When I first came to about a month or so ago,[sr]I was already here in Shimousa, all alone. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa And no sooner had I woken up than I saw a group of those dark spirit creatures not far off. I take it you've seen them by now? [k] ？1：Maybe they're dark warrior spirits or something? ＠Senji Muramasa I have heard things like that have been showing up as of late. Back in my time, ghosts were more of a regular occurrence. [k] ？2：Maybe they're dark ghosts or something? ＠Senji Muramasa [&Attaboy:Attagirl].[sr]Got it in one. [k] ？！ [charaFace C 7] ＠Senji Muramasa I materialized during the day, in the middle of a rice field not too far from here. There were a number of people out working in the field when I got there... [k] ＠Senji Muramasa ...but those creatures had already killed about half of them. Including Onui and Tasuke's parents. [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa One thing led to another, and I wound up looking after them. Call it the fickle whim of an old man. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 0] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 2] ＠Musashi So that's how you ended up here.[sr]I thought you'd been living here for years now. [k] [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa Hardly. I'm just another visitor. We Heroic Spirits are still technically dead; I ain't about to get hip deep into other folk's problems. [k] ＠Musashi I see... [k] ＠Musashi I just thought you'd been here a long time because you get along so well with Onui and Tasuke, and you seem like you're very at home. [k] ＠Musashi That goes for this smithy too.[sr]It feels like it's a part of you. [k] ？1：I agree. [charaFace B 0] ＠Musashi You think so too? [k] ？2：You definitely seem right at home here. [charaFace B 1] ＠Musashi See? [%1] thinks so too. [k] ？！ [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa I took over this hermitage from the people in the village west of here. They told me another blacksmith used to live here long ago. [k] [charaFace C 7] ＠Senji Muramasa I used a hoe and a spade to fix[sr]this place up as best I could. [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.7] [charaFace C 8] [wt 1.2] [charaFace C 7] ＠Senji Muramasa But then it went and got destroyed in a single night, like some sort of sick joke. This sort of thing shouldn't be happening now that the age of war is over. [k] [charaFace B 12] ＠Musashi Are there any other villages around here? [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa Some. You can find a few just a bit south of here. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa Guess I'd better have someone come give the poor saps[sr]from the northern and western villages a proper burial. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Musashi ...[sr]... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_66 0.3] [wt 0.5] [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Senji Muramasa Anyway, let's get back to it while the little ones are still eating. No reason for them to hear about this sorta stuff. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa First of all, those shadow creatures. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa You two still got yourselves set on facing off against whatever's causing all the trouble here in Shimousa? [k] ？1：Absolutely. [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa Hmph. Good answer, but only if you mean it. [k] ？2：Just you wait. We WILL get to the bottom of this. [charaFace C 1] ＠Senji Muramasa There you go, kid.[sr]Go for it. [k] ？！ [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa In that case, I need to tell you about those dark creatures. About who you're up against. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa First of all, I've heard those things started appearing in Shimousa right around the time I materialized here. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 0] [charaFace B 9] [charaFadein B 0.1 2] ＠Musashi So, a month ago? [k] ＠Senji Muramasa Clean the wax outta your ears, girl.[sr]I said two months ago. [k] [charaFace B 8] ＠Musashi Oh, uh, right. Of course. It's just, you were kind of unclear when you mentioned that before, so... [k] [charaFace C 2] ＠Senji Muramasa ...Sorry, guess my memory's starting to go. Hmph. [k] [charaFace C 7] ＠Senji Muramasa I might look young, but I sure don't feel young. Even though I've materialized in the real world, it feels like I'm in some sort of dream. [k] [charaFace B 12] ＠Musashi ...[sr](He doesn't seem like he's lying...) [k] ＠Musashi (Lord Muramasa might have been like this when he was alive, or maybe he's bewitched or something... Either way, I guess it's too soon to say for sure.) [k] [charaFace C 8] ＠Senji Muramasa Now, where was I...[charaFace C 0][sr]Oh yeah, the creatures. [k] ＠Musashi I think Onui said they don't come to villages? [k] ＠Senji Muramasa Now I see. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa I can understand why she'd think that. Not quite right, though. They avoid the temples and shrines, not villages. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Musashi So they avoid places of worship, huh... How well-mannered of them. Though I guess that makes sense when you think about it.[charaFace B 12] [k] [charaFace C 7] ＠Senji Muramasa That don't apply to their bosses, though. [k] ？1：Bosses? [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa That's right.[sr]Like that monk you two faced off against. [k] [charaFace C 2] ＠Senji Muramasa What was it they called themselves... The Heroic Spirit Swordmasters? Bull. There's no need for swordmasters in a peaceful world, and they've got no business calling themselves heroic nothin'. [k] ？2：The Heroic Spirit Swordmasters! [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa [&Attaboy:Attagirl].[sr]Got it in one. [k] ？！ [charaFace B 5] ＠Musashi No way.[sr]You knew about them, Grandpa? [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa Only stories about how they're the ones behind those dark creatures. Heard a few rumors about them walking around with those things at their beck and call. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa Heard there's more than one of 'em, too,[sr]not counting the one you killed last night. [k] ＠Musashi Yes, that's right.[sr]Six others. [k] [charaFace C 8] ＠Senji Muramasa I see... So there's even more than I thought now. [k] [charaFace B 9] ＠Musashi More? [k] [charaFace C 0] ＠Senji Muramasa Not long after the creatures first showed up, peddlers were full to bursting with rumors of them, and soon enough just about everyone had heard about the new threat. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa They said a suspicious-looking man was practicing dark Jesuit sorcery on the grounds of Katori Shrine. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa That his mysticism turned day to night in an instant, and six powerful knights clawed their way up from the depths of hell to serve him. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa These knights are called the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters, and they are monsters hell-bent on laying waste to the world of man...or so the rumors go. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa Sounded like a buncha hogwash to me. At first, anyway. Now I get that they're real, and wreaking havoc and destruction in all manner of places. [k] ＠Senji Muramasa I've even heard that they razed the Hitachi Province so completely that nobody can bear to look at it now. [k] [charaFace B 5] ＠Musashi ...That's the province north of Shimousa.[sr]What exactly did they do to Hitachi? [k] [charaFace C 8] ＠Senji Muramasa I'm told they burned everything there to the ground. [k] ＠Musashi ... [k] ？1：I knew I'd have to do something about them! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Musashi I figured you'd say that.[sr]Don't worry, I'll be right there with you. [k] ＠Musashi I won't make you fight this battle alone. Besides, I still have to make good on my promise to pay Lord Inshun back with interest. [k] [charaFace B 5] ＠Musashi So I'll do that by finding a way to resolve this crisis threatening Shimousa! It's the best parting gift I can offer to everyone they've killed! [k] ？2：But, we still don't have enough info to act on! [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Musashi You're being more levelheaded about this than I thought you would be. It's true; you can never have too much information before going to battle. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Musashi Of course, that was one more thing that made Lord Inshun so impressive; his ability to fight even without knowing who he was up against... [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Musashi Anyway, in our case, we need to find out as much as we can ahead of time. Both about the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters, and about these monsters wandering around Shimosa. [k] ？！ [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Senji Muramasa ...Hmph. I can see you're more than ready[sr]to face whatever dangers lie ahead of you.

I mean, uh, nothing. [k] [charaFace B 5] ＠Musashi Strange as it is that Toke Castle is intact and nearby...it does sound like its town is worth visiting!
