To get help of Lady Masako, I had to help her accomplishing in her mission and for that, I had to meet Monk Sogen in Golden Temple and I talked about that in my last post. This time I had to follow Monk Sogen as Lady Masako thought the monk is not in their team.
We uncovered a conspiracy, and ambushed his allies. Masako killed Sogen in anger, but we found a list of traitors, setting her on a path of vengeance.
After talking with Sogen, I started exploring the place to look for a blacksmith that Lady Masako asked me to meet, and I met this woman and she talked to me about a technique in battle.
Then I met a blacksmith in the temple area that Lady Masako asked me to meet and I told her Lady Masako sent me. Hearing that, the lady went inside and brought this ''Samurai Clan Armor'' that suited me well. Lady Masako asked the blacksmith to make this armor for one of her student who didn't make out alive.
I wore that armor and started running back to Lady Masako. After getting out of the temple, I saw that Lady Masako was standing next to a tree in the Golden Forest when it was about to dusk.
Jin told Masako about is conversation with the monk and then Lady Masako said she doubts Sogen and then started waking out of the forest.
After that, Masako started running, and I followed her. We were running in the jungle and came to the other side of the temple, and we started surveying the place. We saw that monk Sogen was in a rush.
After seeing that monk in a rush, Lady Masako commanded me to follow him. We went a little ahead and hid behind a rock and saw Sogen. After seeing him, we started following him.
We kept our distance as we didn't want to alert him about us following him. He was really cautious as he kept looking behind, and he almost saw us twice while we were following him, but we somehow managed to hide and be undetected.
We kept following him while changing our cover. After following for a while, we saw that he came near a house, went forward to talk with some people who were sitting in front of the house, and told them that Lady Masako was alive.
Lady Masako told me that those men killed her family. With that said, we revealed ourselves and were ready to kill them all. One of them challenged me for a standoff and I did it smoothly.
Then I was taking down another one and I noticed Lady Masako was also taking out an enemy and we were on the same post at that moment.
After that, I saw Lady Masako being attacked by the enemies and defending against them. I went forward and struck an enemy with my sword to help her.
After that, I started to take out enemies one by one, but they were heavily armed, and one of them struck me. I somehow recovered from that and looked back and struck my blade in his head. I was surrounded by enemies, and then I used water stance and started to kill them one by one.
I was really brutal in that battle as I was not only killing enemies, I was also dodging their death blows. After a brutal fight, we went inside the house, climbed up some stairs, and found Sogen hiding and started questioning him.
After talking for a while with Sogen, he gave some answers that really triggered Masako. Even if I was telling Masako to calm down, she didn't listen and struck Sogen with her sword multiple times and killed him.
After that, I took some names and symbol to show them to Lady Masako, jumped out from the window, and started running towards Masako, and found that she was examining a dead body.
She told me that she had seen the same symbols on these men, but she had never seen them before. We talked for a while and asked Lady Masako to help me get back my uncle, and she said she would help me when the time comes and with that my mission was completed.
That's all for now. I'll write about more of this story again soon. Be safe till we meet again.
Au revoir/Goodbye.
