Chapter 314: Watchmen

"To hell with it!" Morohira said finally, throwing the blanket on the floor in front of him. "You're all too loud – it's impossible to get any more sleep."

"The day has been out a fair few hours yet," Gengyo said with a point. The sun was a quarter of the way up the sky.

"You have to earn your sleep around these parts," Rokkaku put in, enjoying the opportunity to jest with his friend.

"Now that you're up, you had better armour yourself. There's no telling when we will need to move," Gengyo had advised. Both he and Akiko were sitting in their full armour, save for the helmet, which they kept on their laps. The others were the same, Jikouji and Rokkaku too, even Rin. In fact, in the entire encampment, likely the only man who was not properly attired was Morohira.
