"Oh? Fighting over the Eight Mirror Sword?"
Ailin stroked his chin.
"But haven't these people even found where the Eight Mirror Sword is yet? They're already fighting over it?"
Ailin remembered that the Eight Mirror Sword should have already been hidden away by Shunsui Kyōraku.
After looking around, Ailin did not spot Shunsui Kyōraku anywhere.
