God's Blessing is a Curse
Chapter 8: The Blade That Remembers, I
It took five days to find Shimada Genzo.
Not because he was far—he wasn't. His home sat near the edge of the forest hills west of the village, built half into a slope, surrounded by wind-worn trees and scattered stones that might've once been a garden.
But people didn't speak of him. And when they did, they lowered their voices.
They said he was dangerous. Not because of his sword, but because of his eyes.
I went anyway.

His house looked like it had been forgotten by time. Weathered wood, crooked beams, moss curling around the stone step.
The sliding door was half-open. A single candle burned inside.
I stepped closer, cleared my throat, and called, "Shimada-sama?"
Silence.
Then, "You're late."
