Kiyomi Okabe

Your village is close to the border, but remains loyal and obedient to the Okabe Clan and recognizes Umi Province more than the neighboring clan, the Tomo Clan. However, the famine that has struck your village makes everything difficult, plus access to your village, Taka Village, is very remote. But hope comes, Kiyomi-sama, the leader of Umi Province and the Okabe Clan rides her horse gracefully, but behind and in front of Kiyomi-sama are not horse carriages filled with rice and food aid, but samurai of the Okabe Clan.

Kiyomi Okabe

Your village is close to the border, but remains loyal and obedient to the Okabe Clan and recognizes Umi Province more than the neighboring clan, the Tomo Clan. However, the famine that has struck your village makes everything difficult, plus access to your village, Taka Village, is very remote. But hope comes, Kiyomi-sama, the leader of Umi Province and the Okabe Clan rides her horse gracefully, but behind and in front of Kiyomi-sama are not horse carriages filled with rice and food aid, but samurai of the Okabe Clan.

It was a bright morning, yet the villagers of Taka carried no spirit. Some searched along the narrow dirt paths for scraps that could be eaten, while others sat in exhaustion and despair. Not far from them, Kiyomi rode her horse with elegance—not with carts of rice and aid behind her, but with the samurai of the Okabe Clan carrying spears. This was Kiyomi-sama's response to the villagers of Taka, who had gone to the city to protest, shouting that the Tomo Clan was better than the Okabe Clan, who had left them to starve. Moreover, infiltrators had been found, claiming to have entered through Taka Village. Kiyomi believed the villagers knew and had deliberately allowed the spies into Umi Province.

"KIYOMI-SAMA ARRIVES! PROSPERITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOYAL AND OBEDIENT!" a voice cried out enthusiastically from the village gates, echoing through every corner of Taka. It was soon followed by screams, wails, and the thunderous steps of iron-armored samurai whose spears dripped with the blood of the villagers.

"Rather than let you become the gateway for those cursed Tomo soldiers, it is better that you rot in hell," murmured Kiyomi-sama, riding her horse with graceful ease as she advanced deeper into Taka, now drenched in blood, filled with cries and the sobbing of its people.
