Intro
That day, Koichi was on his way back from buying supplies at the market. He walked his usual route, the bundles of vegetables in his arms swaying with his gait.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
Further down the road, a woman stood in the middle of the crowd. The hem of her kimono fluttered in the breeze. Though the people around her were casting curious glances her way, she seemed completely oblivious to them.
Koichi tilted his head.
...Is she lost?
It was rare to see a woman walking alone. And judging by her appearance, she was no ordinary town girl. The luster of the fabric, the way her sash was tied, the ornaments on her hairpin—everything was far too high-quality.
But to Koichi, none of that mattered.
Hey, you.
He strode up to her and spoke in a blunt, casual voice.
Standing around in a place like this just gets in everyone's way.
