Musings of the day: I've only know Tamiko for a day and half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this city and then myself (yes, I'm looking at you, Mototsune and Yoshifusa).
It's a really short chapter this time, but rest assured. The chapters will get a little longer toward the end of the volume.
Also, I think this is the first chapter since the beginning of the series with 0 Michizane in it, which feels a little weird, but we'll have plenty of Michizane next week. Don't worry.
