I have spent nearly the entire weekend in Kusatsu, learning my way around. The town is a somewhat odd one. I have a map, with some extra notes, that I got from another operative I know in Fujiwara-kyō. Unfortunately, it seems some of his information is out of date. This has caused me some substantial delays in my reconaissance of the town, but I am now back on track.
This evening, Akane came to visit me here, bringing fresh, home-cooked yakisoba. Dinner was short, but tasty, and made better by her sweet company. Now, I go back to slinking through the alleyways, determining where the best lurking places and most hazardous roofs are.
I hope to be able to undertake missions here soon — at least on my own behalf, if not for employers. This town is rapidly gaining strategic importance in Clan Te-no-hira's ongoing skirmishes against the armies of Toyotomi, and Clan Tokugawa's recent entry into the area has only increased the friction there.
On that note, I have a long journey ahead of me tomorrow morning, as I am going to talk with some fighters in Toyotomi's army. It would be a position that would require much travel every day, and I'm not sure if I could deal with their excessively Buddhist ways... but there would be many advantages. I must at least speak with them; I would be a fool to pass up this opportunity!
