Bunmei's Done Some Serious Work

 
While I've been working in Fujiwara-kyō, my fellow-ninja Bunmei has been quite busy in the modern city of Hikone. Now that I've gotten things fairly squared away Fujiwara-kyō, I'm off to Hikone to help out Bunmei with the situation...

...only to find that his recent efforts have so transformed the political and tactical situation there that I need to take some time just to learn my way around again. His work is quite impressive; there are dead bodies everywhere. I realize he is partly trying to make up for lost time from last week (when much of his time was taken up by caring for his girlfriend, whose foot had been hurt in an accident), but now I feel like I have fallen behind, and must catch up.

I will study his work, and catch up on my own tasks.
