Now Grandmother Is Dead and Buried

[ninja_coder]

I have been away from Kansai for a few days. Last week, I received a message from my brother saying that Grandmother had died. So I traveled to the south, to the city where Grandmother lived, along with my brother and Uncle-san. Father also went there, all the way from Edo, to pay his last respects to his mother.

Of course, there was no sneaking or combat to be done there. The weather on the shores of the Seto Inland Sea is balmy and warm, even in the midst of winter. The sun shone as we buried Grandmother and Father and Uncle told stories of her life. Also, I finally got to see Grandfather’s grave and pay my respects.

But now I have returned to Iga, and am back in Castle Noriaibasha in Sakai. There is much to do. The Teitōken campaign has not faltered in my absence, and I must meet with Seijun and Nayumi today, to discuss how we will coordinate our strategies.

And I understand there things I can be doing in Migaku with my kama… It will be good to be active again!
