After a day or two of walking, Kachito and Zotawa arrived at Mt. Sagi-shi Town. A town the resided at the bottom of the mountain, Mt. Sagi-shi. Upon arriving, they check into an inn. The only one available, however, was quite expensive.
Zotawa: 100 DIZEN!?! THAT'S ROBBERY!!!
Kachito: DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL!!!
After eventually forking over the cash, they put their stuff in their room and went out on the town. The town was controlled by the Global Government. So they had to keep their motives hidden. After all, any swordsmen trying to become Heavenly Swordsman or assisting someone in becoming Heavenly Swordsman is a criminal to the Global Government.
The Global Government was an extremely corrupt organization that had jurisdiction over all of Han'ei. They are allied with Oni as well. The Heavenly Swordsmen opposed the Global Government over the time it had existed, thus the Global Government tries to stop a new one from arising.
Knowing that, Kachito and Zotawa kept their heads down. Zotawa was decent at that, Kachito's loud ass needed to be kept on a damn leash by Zotawa.
Zotawa: Kachito, keep quiet. We can't have anybody know what we are journeying for got it?
Kachito: Yeah yeah, I'm not dumb Zotawa.
Zotawa looked at him incredulously.
Kachito: Fuck you.
Zotawa: Fuck you more.
Kachito: Fuck you triple.
The two walked in silence a bit.
Zotawa: We are gonna need to top up on Dizen. We already lost half of the Dizen the old man gave use on that damn inn.
A man they passed by overheard Zotawa.
Man: Excuse me there boys, I heard you need some Dizen correct?
Kachito: Hm?
Kachito points at himself and Zotawa.
Kachito: You talkin' to us?
Zotawa: Kachito we are the only two males currently on this street walking together.
The man sighed before resuming.
Man: Yes you two...now, I am Randamu Otoko. And I have a job.
Zotawa: What is it?
Randamu went closer and whispered to Kachito and Zotawa.
Randamu: Keep it on the down low...the Global Government would have my head if they knew...
Kachito: We're listenin'...
Randamu: I saw that the Doragonist (basically Buddhists but for the Heavenly Divine Dragon) Temple is being led by an Oni...and no regular Oni...a member of the Oni Council...
Kachito and Zotawa raised their eyebrows.
Kachito: Oni...
Zotawa: Council?
