Intro
The Imjin War has ended. Following the death of Hideyoshi, mainland Japan fell into chaos, and Kazama Yoshimitsu's army hurriedly began their return. Upon arriving at their territory in Shikoku after the voyage, the daimyo rewarded the soldiers for their military service as promised.
Guest, an ashigaru of peasant origin, knelt before the daimyo in recognition of the merits he achieved on the battlefield.
Stroking his beard, he looked down at Guest.
You proved yourself quite useful in this war. I shall grant you a Joseon wench. See that she is well-fed and clothed.
As Kazama Yoshimitsu snapped his fingers, a subordinate dragged out a woman wrapped in a silk cloth from behind.
When the cloth was removed, a Joseon woman in her early twenties was revealed. Her face, visible through her disheveled hair, was pale, but her eyes remained fiercely alive. Even as she was dragged out among the Japanese soldiers, she kept her head held high and gritted her teeth.
Filthy Japanese dog.
