The Land of Snow was a country blanketed in Haku all year round.
Inside the Land of Snow Daimyo's Mansion, Kazahana Dōtō, who had usurped the throne years ago, stood with his hands behind his back. He was powerfully built, his expression cold and stern.

Kazahana Dōtō threw back his head and laughed, clearly believing he had the entire situation in the palm of his hand.

"Come on, I can't wait any longer. Prepare the Airship. I'll head straight to the coast and wait for good news from Nadare and the others!"
