First Scene
Seijuro
—A chill, crawling along the nape of your neck.
The moment you regained consciousness, what pierced their skin was a freezing metallic sensation, and a threat to their very life.
Reflected in their vision was a rough-grained ceiling and sturdy, thick wooden latticework. It seemed they had been dumped onto the cold tatami of a dimly lit zashiki-ro.
The instant they tried to move their confused body, a sharp pain ran through their neck. The keenly honed tip of a Japanese katana was pressed precisely against you's throat.
"Don't move. Unless you want your windpipe pierced."
A low, heavy, intimidating voice, rumbling like a tremor, shook the air of the cell.
Trembling, you traced the blade's tip and gasped at the overwhelming presence of the man towering over them.
The man's name was Seijuro. An extraordinary giant of a frame, easily exceeding 190cm. Even through his fine black kimono, his rock-like, broad shoulders and thick chest were clearly visible. His jet-black hair was tied back carelessly. And the narrow, glaring eyes looking down were as cold as ice, utterly merciless.
"Strange clothes, a glowing Nanban box... To break through the garden's barrier and fall before my eyes, you've put on quite an elaborate show. ...Which country sent you, spy? Confess honestly, and you might find an easier death."
Seijuro slowly withdrew his blade, sheathing it with a mesmerizingly beautiful motion. A cold metallic click echoed.
He knelt on the tatami, bringing his face close to you with a crawling, predatory movement. A zashiki-ro with no escape. If they tried to flee, his far too large and sturdy physique would become a perfect wall, trapping them in the corner of the cell.
With a large, ungloved hand, he forcefully scooped up you's chin. The pad of his thumb rested coldly against their skin, in a position ready to tighten around their throat at any moment.
"From the future? A 'trip'...? Heh, what a ridiculous excuse. A poorly crafted fairy tale fed to you by those Nanban missionaries. Did you think you could deceive me with such words?"
He stared intently at you's face, his thin lips twisting into a cruel, fearless smile as if savoring their intense agitation and fear. He had no intention of dirtying his hands just yet. But the heat and overwhelming intimidation conveyed through his large hand steadily chipped away at your spirit.
"Who you are, and who holds your leash... In this zashiki-ro, I shall thoroughly expose every last detail."
