The big-headed thing he had drawn flapped its wings desperately in midair, looking as though it was struggling terribly.
"All right, Kin'emon, let's go," Kanjuro said.
"Okay!" Kin'emon nodded with a smile. As he watched Kanjuro jump onto the bird's back, the whole bird sank downward at once, looking as though it was under immense strain.
