บท 98: A Bulwark Encounter

After an hour, the rain finally let down, its steady downpour turning into an uneven drizzle while the group rested under the shade. They had their fill of rabbit meat and their fair share of short naps. Now they started packing up, preparing to resume their journey back to Kazuichi Stronghold.

"We're going to pass through the forest and a city first before we could get to Kanagawa. It would be nice if we won't encounter trouble in the adjacent city... but there's a good chance we might so best be prepared." Arisu repeated as she slung her bag on her shoulders. "Kanagawa is just a city away, and there's a good chance that trouble's already spread to neighboring cities."

Kazuichi couldn't tell whether the war breaking out between strongholds was that serious or not. In any case, Arisu was serious when she mentioned it so it might be more dangerous than he assumed. Whether or not they meet trouble was not the concern, but whether or not they'd get pulled into trouble.
