Iai vs. Muto
Nanaka and Togame's journey to collect the perfect, transformed swords has begun.
The first thing they set out to collect was a Don sword, said to be owned by the Iaido master Unen Ginkaku.
To visit Unen Ginkaku, who is holed up in Shimogaku Castle in the Inaba Desert, which has engulfed the entire Tottori domain, the two trek through the endless desert.
After walking so much that Togame's lack of stamina nearly breaks, they finally reach Shimogaku Castle, where a discussion between Togame and Unen Ginkaku begins.
Unen Ginkaku appears calm at first glance, but what will his response really be...?
