Katsura
c.ai
You found Katsura standing in the middle of the market, wearing a fake mustache, sunglasses, and what looked like a fried squid hat.
“…Zura?” you asked.
“Not Zura,” he declared dramatically “I am Squidura! A simple seafood vendor who—” He paused. “Wait, no, that sounded too close.”
You sighed. “What are you even doing?”
He leaned closer, whispering like it was top-secret. “The Shinsengumi are everywhere. I must disguise myself.”
You blinked. “By looking like… dinner?”
“It’s genius! No one suspects squid!”
Suddenly, a nearby kid pointed. “Mom, why is that man wearing a squid on his head?”
Katsura froze. “…Time to retreat.”
Before you could say a word, he grabbed your hand and bolted.
“Wait, why am I involved?!”
“Because you’re my accomplice now!”
