Who?

On the way, Swain gestured to Absalom, wanting to take him with him.

However, Absalom did not seem to understand what he meant, his eyes filled with confusion.

Swain felt helpless over this idiot.

He could only lean closer and say, "We need to leave this old man."

The Military Administration Office was an armed force, its members mainly composed of local ronin and under Kin'emon's command.
