[masahiro and okuda on the train to skipstein]

Masahiro: [sigh] can this train go any faster?.

[okuda looks at masahiro confused]

Okuda: what do you mean?.

Masahiro: Its been three days since we left the village.

Okuda: ok.

Masahiro: It would have taken me twenty four to forty eight hours to get there.

[okuda smiles]

Okuda: man you
e impatient.

[masahiro looks at okuda surprised]

Masahiro: what?.

Okuda: think about basic battle tactics. You don go head first into battle, you go around then strike.

Masahiro: What does that have to do with it?.

Okuda: we
e going around so we don get attacked by charge demons.

Masahiro: oh,That makes sense.

[after sometime otagi enters the passenger car]

Otagi: only ten more miles to go before we arrive to skipstein.

Masahiro: [sigh] finally.

Okuda: I know right.

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: Look whos impatient now.

Okuda: what?.

[after sometime the train arrives at skipstein]

[otagi enters the passenger car]

Otagi: Alright everyone, welcome to skipstein!.

Masahiro: [sigh] alright lets go.

Okuda: ok.

[masahiro and okuda leave the train]

Masahiro: Hold on a second Im gonna go ask him where the shopping district is.

Okuda: ok.

[masahiro walks over to otagi]

Masahiro: Hey, wheres the shopping district?.

[otagi smiles]

Otagi: you

Masahiro: yeah.

Otagi: well its in the center of the city

Masahiro: Alright, thanks.

Otagi: no problem.

[masahiro walks back to okuda]

Masahiro: Its in the center of the city.

Okuda: [sigh] why is all of the important stuff in the center of the city?>

Masahiro: No idea.

Okuda: Hey also, what are we going to do with the people?.

[masahiro puts his hand on okudas shoulder]

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: we
e going to leave them here.

[okuda looks at masahiro surprised]

Okuda: What, we can do that to them.

Masahiro: Its better for them to stay here where its safe than for them to be in danger constantly.

Okuda: You
e right but will they have a place to stay?.

Masahiro: Who knows.

Okuda: Then why do you say its safe here?.

Masahiro: because theres walls blocking them from the demons, they
e not constantly face to face with them like how well be.

Okuda: oh.

Masahiro: Well, lets get going.

Okuda: ok.

[masahiro and okuda walk to the shopping district]

Masahiro: I think theres a man at the shopping district that my father used to know.

Okuda: what?.

Masahiro: Yeah, he could probably get us some weapons.

Okuda: ok, but do you know where hes at?.

Masahiro: All I remember is the sign that said yoshidas weapons.

Okuda: Do you think itll be easy to find?.

Masahiro: Who knows, the shopping district is huge.

Okuda: [sigh] ok.

[after sometime masahiro and okuda arrive at the shopping district]

Masahiro: Well, here we are.

[okuda looks at the shopping district in shock]

Okuda: You weren lying about it being huge.

Masahiro: I know, and lucky for us.

[masahiro points at the sign that says yoshidas weapons]

Masahiro: Its one of the front stores.

Okuda: [heh] Thats convenient.

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: I know, the oldest stores are in the front and the newest stores are mainly for the citizens in the back.

Okuda: this city is really organized huh.

Masahiro: yeah.

[masahiro and okuda walk to yoshidas weapons]

Yoshida: How can i help you two?.

Masahiro: Yes, we

Yoshida: oh, well.

[yoshida puts nine swords on the counter but two are covered]

Masahiro: These are nice swords.

[yoshida smiles]

Yoshida: Thank you.

[okuda picks up a black and gold sword]

Okuda: how much for this one?.

Yoshida: Oh that.

Yoshida: Thats about 1 million yen.

[okuda smiles]

Okuda: as expected.

[okuda hands yoshida the 1 million yen]

Okuda: I guess working for the emperor had its benefits.

[masahiro smiles]

Masahiro: I guess it did.

[masahiro points at the two swords that are covered]

Masahiro: Hey, what about those?

[yoshida smiles]

Yoshida: Youll have to write your name down before you see them.
