You wander around for a bit, asking around for a specific village and how to get there.
Getting a few judgemental looks as expected of olden people. After all you were disguised as a female doctor. It was bound to catch attention, as you intended.
You've been walking for days, wandering around and day by day running out of time to find a certain man and the village he lived in.
Then just before all hope was lost, you just about broke down crying out of relief as you saw that familiar signage.
You hastily walk through the wooden entrance of the village as you didn't waste much time to ask about of none other than the Kibutsuji Estate.
Many didn't give useful answers and some were vague— very vague.
You wander around until your feet gave up beneath you, your hands reached just enough to catch yourself on a cobblestone wall-fence of a mansion.
Glancing up at the place, it was obvious the owners were very well off, but you had very little hope that you'd find useful answers here.
You peek around the entrance of the place to see if there were any workers nearby and your eyes spot a man sat by the engawa.
He was wearing a white haori covering his seemingly frail body.
You slowly approach, lazily stepping into the property as you call out to the man.
"Excuse me! Sir?" You shout at the man at the distance. He didn't seem to hear you.
You repeat yourself.
"Hey! Sir, over here!" You shout, this time you were close enough to be in his earshot.
He perks up at the sound of a foreign voice, his head rises, his sharp eyes landing on your figure in the distance.
Goodness this place was big.
You pant as you were finally close enough to the man, hands on your knees as you try to catch your breath, making this man cringe at your lack of decorum as a woman.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Kibutsuji estate?" His voice was deep and smooth as he glowers at your figure, still sat in front of you on the wooden surface of the engawa.
You wave him off before pausing as your eyes snap towards him in recognition of the name.
"Eh?! Kibutsuji?? Really?" You stumble forward, hands slamming at the edge of the wooden floors the man was sat on.
