I have not been practicing as hard as I should have. Still, just before o-shōgatsu, I received a message from a group of samurai in Mikawa Province, with an outpost in Ōmihachiman. They need a ninja with city experience, and skill in the Jōgesen style.
I have spoken with the clan's lord, and he says he must confer with his top general. If all goes well, I will receive a message from the general asking for a further conference later this week.
In the meantime, my trip to Yagyū this morning was not fruitful. There is one clan whose castle is too far to reach and who wants fighters with training in Nara. There's another whose castle is just as far away... and who admit that they have no gold to pay with yet, but can only offer the chance of later spoils.
I will continue honing my ninja-to and sansetsukon skills, and prepare kata that I can show to clans. And Akane and I have a day planned together, as we go to visit a teahouse. Edit: Actually, the weather in Iga today is cold and wet; it's an awful day for a teahouse visit. We shall postpone that, for another time.
