[Machine Translation] Oh, it's started again," muttered Omang, a geisha from Yanagibashi, to a group of poor people who were asking for rice, and the group did not miss her furrowed brow. The rowdy group did not miss Oman, who raised an eyebrow when she muttered this to the impoverished group asking for rice alms. Suddenly, however, she is rescued by a strong man carrying her. This man, who claimed to be a tengu, was actually a ronin named Aoi Kitaro, who was being hunted by the merchants. Kitaro was once falsely accused of a crime and nearly killed, but with the help of Satsuma, he returned to Edo as a samurai. However, as he prepares to confront Gozo Sagawa, a yoroshi with whom he has a history, he discovers that his own past is related to Oman's situation. Kitaro takes surprising actions in the face of his unforgivable enemy. What will be the outcome of Kitaro's love for Oman and his aspirations for the country of tomorrow? This is the 28th installment of the nationally popular author's masterpiece series, "The Masterpieces of Jiichiro Yamate"!
