Early the next morning, we make our way to the hunting grounds.

(Wow. . .I've never seen a real hawk before!)

She swoops down from the treetops, and lands right on Lord Masamune's fist.

[Me]
"Wow. . . !"

I close my eyes tightly, startled by the buffeting of the wind off of the hawk's wings.

[Shigezane]
"Hahaha! Are you scared, Yahiko?"

[Me]
"N-No! I was just surprised!"

I pout while Lord Shigezane makes fun of me.

(Okay. . .maybe just a little scared. . .)

It's a huge goshawk, with giant talons and glittering eyes that make my heart race every time she looks at me.

But, despite how terrifying she looks, it appears that she is willing to follow Lord Masamune's every command.

(Oh. . .)

[Masamune]
". . ."

He seems. . .gentle, when the bird hops up onto his arm and settles herself there.

It may be the kindest I have ever seen him look.

(. . .If nothing else, he seems to be an animal lover. . .)

I feel oddly relieved.

[Retainer 1]
"Well then, is everyone ready?"

The hunt is on.

[Masamune]
"Get it from the right!"

Lord Masamune is calling out precise instructions as they hunt down their game.

Though nothing is more impressive than when he releases the massive hawk into the air.

Already, she has brought him three trophies.

[Kojuro]
"Well spotted, Milord!"

(So. . .this is falconry. . .)

[Shigezane]
"The Lord of my clan is really something, isn't he?!"
