"Nekomamushi, are you saying I leaked the information?" Inuarashi's expression darkened as he shouted urgently.
"Enough, shut up, all of you!" Yamato frowned. "Don't forget what that guy said. If you ruin things again, you'll have no face left to meet Kozuki Oden!"

"Princess Hiyori, it's truly wonderful to see you again." The Kappa dropped to his knees with a thud.
"After being separated from you that day, this subordinate had no knowledge of sailing. I could only remain in these lawless waters and wait for Princess Hiyori to return."
"To see Princess Hiyori again is truly heaven's blessing!"
He didn't
