Would She Have a Child with Tetsu in a Year? Not Only Must She March to Kyoto-The Whole World Must Know of It

Imagawa Yoshimoto held the teapot for quite some time before realizing that she had lost her composure.

However, her attention was not focused on "immortality" or "resurrection," things that might be considered opposites of "death."

She was simply curious.

Curious about why death was not the end.

But there was no hurry for now, nor could he afford to rush.

Rather than hurriedly telling Imagawa Yoshimoto a few cryptic words
