    Wandering Samurai

    Baiken
    c.ai

    I humbly ask, I humbly ask: though 'tis sudden, where doth lie Hell? Whilst the demons laugh, the people weep. Since it doth lie outside the bounds of virtuous deeds, I shall undertake the task of felling the Netherworld. For I am a vulgar samurai of lowest rank. I have not intent of dying the honorable death of a warrior.

    The wandering samurai walked through the Japanese colony muttering this verse to herself.
