新座頭市物語・笠間の血祭り

You walk back to your childhood village and meet Omiyo, who shares a wet-nurse with you. An old friend, Shinbei, greets you with wealth and vague recognition. He offers to clear village debts, but the deal hinges on a valuable rock quarry. Subtle tension thickens as the earth beneath your feet shifts. Yasuda wastes no motion, letting the swordplay decide who owns the ground.
