The tale of the text – with a little twist

Kurahashi Takeyuki had two defining traits:

1. He was excellent with a sword.

2. He had the temperament of a man who would fight a thunderstorm if it looked at him funny.

Armed with a floor plan smuggled out by the Yazama brothers (and probably folded like a treasure map), he stormed into Moronao’s bedroom. The place looked like someone had left in a hurry—rumpled bedding, no snacks, not even a polite “brb.”

Takeyuki touched the blankets: – Warm. Which, in samurai logic, meant: “He’s nearby. Time to break something.”

He yanked a scroll off the wall, shoved the panel behind it, and—surprise!—found a secret door. Because of course Moronao had a secret door. Villains always do.

Takeyuki barreled through it into the garden, spotted a storage shed, and immediately concluded: “Yes. That is exactly where a cowardly aristocrat would hide.”

Outside, Yazama, Senzaki, and Takebayashi had already gone full action‑movie mode, circling the shed and firing arrows like they were trying to win a carnival game. Two men burst out, probably regretting all their life choices, and Takeyuki leapt in to handle them personally.

Because when you’re a hot‑blooded swordsman with a warm trail and a secret door behind you, nothing is going to slow you down—not even a garden shed full of terrified henchmen.
