“For this deed. None! Try something else.” “Chosokabes are in danger. Time is slipping from our hands. Do you want them exposed to perils?” “You don’t understand! This is all I have got.” Fujimoto snatched his coin bag and said, “Then consider that you have nothing to lose from this point.” Shinji watched his wealth being distributed to those people …

Munching on apples they had brought from a shop, they proceeded to Tetsu’s house. After throwing remaining fruit bits near the tree, they tried to clear their mind as they approached closer to the destination. Like they had done in the past they took an alley and marched along. Perhaps they had their expectations held high. “Who are all these?” …

Fujimoto showed no sign of wanting to go on another round of whore hunting when the sun settled in the horizon. The incident had punched some sense into him. On the other hand, humiliation from Tetsu had ignited something else in Shinji’s mind. Once again they found themselves walking in the street of Pryeg.  “What does his crystal ball do?” …

Conversation with him wasn’t as valuable as meeting Tetsu so they set off on the way which they had been told to go on.And it did not disappoint.After taking left from the tree, they discovered a yellow house at the end of a long alley.“Why is his house in the corner?” Shinji looked around just to see walls.“Looks like he …

Girls did not speak. Their words had dried out due to the Shinji’s menace. “No need, Shinji.” Fujimoto said by picking up a sack. He shook it to hear coins rattle inside.

Even though they were expecting unwelcoming faces to greet them, they got to see none. Every commoner seemed to be minding their own business. Fujimoto was …

 They could see blood from outside the pub. Blood was flowing down from the doorsteps. It had already begun to clot in the cold environment. “Who did this?” Shinji hasted while searching for any living being in the reception. The nice woman had missing piece of flesh on her chest. Mugs were scattered everywhere. Smell of alcohol and blood …

About two hours later they reached in front of an old house. The house seemed to have been burnt at some point. “Why would a family of four live in here?” Fujimoto looked up at broken roof.” “I think the same.” Shinji kicked the door open just to find cobwebs ruling inside. Fujimoto came after him. “Third inn checked.” Fujimoto …
