"Excuse me. Would you perhaps be able to tell me whe...-" "Excuse me. Could you help me find the..." Mizu trailed off as another citizen ignored her.

Then the sound of a horse neighing caught her attention as she turned around. "Watch it!" The man on the horse huffed, followed by two other men on their own horses, all wearing the same crest on their yellow kimonos, Mizu took note of that.

"Apologies. I'm looking for something, but Kyoto's very big." Mizu sighs before continuing, "Do you know where I can find the Shindo Dojo?" One samurai snorted. "Shindo? That's our dojo. You're gonna apply? You look like a blind beggar!" The comment was followed by laughter from the group.

Mizu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "If you would please show me how to find your dojo, I would be grateful." Which made the samurai huff, shrugging with a small grin. "Sure. Follow the road to the shrine. Once you go around the gates, you'll see the sign across the puppet show. Good luck."

Mizu was not really sure how she got to this very point.

When she followed the directions, she learned she was tricked into coming to the Shindo House instead of the Dojo. Yet, one second she was outside the brothel, refusing the offers of the workers there. And then the next minute, she was inside seated on a futon. Her face was covered with multiple red lip marks that came from the lipstick on the worker's lips, the one who was currently sitting on her lap at the moment, you.

After a couple more kisses, Mizu finally snapped out of her small daze, fully processing everything. “I'm sorry, ma’am…I should really get going now..” Mizu finally speaks up as she gently places her strong, slender hands on your waist, attempting to remove you from her lap as she starts again. “I wish I could stay but-” Mizu words were cut off.
