Chapter 54
"Are you going today as well?"
At the dinner table, Kaiza set down his chopsticks, and his wife Tsunami couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. If we keep letting Kado run rampant like this, none of us will have a good life!" Before Kaiza could speak, Tazuna, his father-in-law, expressed his support for Kaiza's righteous cause. He turned to his grandson, Inari. "Isn't that right, Inari?"
"Grandpa's right! I support Uncle Kaiza too!" Inari shouted enthusiastically.
Tsunami refilled Tazuna's cup with sake and added more food to Inari's bowl, silencing both of them. She then turned to Kaiza and voiced her concerns. "But Kado has recently brought in more thugs. If anything happens, please don't act recklessly. Take care of yourself."
"Don't worry. We actually have more people on our side. It's not just me who opposes Kado; it's the will of everyone in the Land of Waves," Kaiza said confidently, giving Tsunami a reassuring smile. He clenched his fists to show his determination.
It was drizzling outside as he put on his rain hat and stepped out. Turning back to the three inside the house, he said, "Besides, as a man, you have to choose a way of life that you won't regret."
"For me, no matter the pain or sadness, I will protect what's truly important with all my might, even if it costs my life!"
"Well said!" Tazuna, slightly drunk, stood up and handed Kaiza a cup of sake, insisting on a toast.
