The crowd is still muttering nervously. The news of how she devastated the Inn and slew a dozen of the Shigemori bandits has spread outside by now, she can see a couple of the disheveled women from inside talking to the townsfolk. The boy from the gate looks around, and realises he's the only one who's actually dared come up and talk to her.<br/><br/>"Shigemori is the leader of the bandits, Samurai-sama. He's a warrior who fought in the wars, but nobody knows how he became a bandit- nobody dared ask. He has four lieutenants- no, three now, one you've killed. The others went with him. He settled some of his men in an abandoned farm in the hills, and sent most of his men here. I think they were bored doing whatever he's doing out there."<br/><br/>He looks around at the crowd, then continues.<br/><br/>"He... He wasn't interested in us. Kosajuro was just a place for his men to find food and entertainment. But now he'll be back, he'll be after revenge for what happened to his men. You'll stop him, won't you Samurai-sama?"
