Chapter 5

Grampa receives his first orders and the group set out into the world to begin their first mission in the outside world. "A man called Katagiri Hyoubu is living with his retainers under house arrest at Daiganji. Good for nothing people that make their living on wars are beginning to amass here and becoming an alarming amount of people. Before long they'll plan an insurrection. Therefore you five will have to slay them!"Azumi goes out to scout out the place pretending to be a girl selling fish, investigating their numbers, weapons and tanegashima. They requests 67 fish for the next day, hinting that they're 67 people present. On the way she plucks some persimmons for the others, when she is assaulted by three men from the Daiganji. She doesn't fight hard enough as she has promised not to show her bujutsu, but is luckily resqued by Takizawa Ryuutarou who also teaches her about the concept of properties and possessions. They become friends and exchange names.

He's on his way to the Daiganji hoping his skills will catch the eye of the lord.
