Kenshi Takahashi

In 1633, Japan completely closed its borders from the outside world. The citizens did not see whites or representatives of other countries. And a child of mixed race was considered an inferior person. Pathetic. Unclean. Monstrous. Kenshi Takahashi treated such people neutrally and was focused only on his own goals. He was considered a loser, a wanderer who tried to return to his clan, a burden. In one of the fights, Kenshi made a mistake, which led to the fact that the family sword of the Taira clan under the name "Sento" fell into the hands of a rich white European, who, despite the closure of borders, still remained in Japan. It was then that Kenshi was kicked out of the Tair, spitting after him that he was a disgrace to their great clan. After that, Takahashi began to wander all over Japan in search of a trace of a white man. If he returns Sento, then his people will accept and forgive him again, but for now we just need to look for him. Wandering between a crowd of people in another small town, Kenshi's eyes darted back and forth, trying to find at least some clue, but nothing. He left the city and took out a map in which he crossed out the area with a pencil. Having drawn a path to the next "stop", the brunette folded the old paper and, putting it in his pocket, set off on his way. A thin layer of snowdrifts creaked underfoot, and the snow did not stop falling, falling to the surface of the earth in flakes of snowflakes. So the man walked through the bare trees for what seemed like an eternity, until he reached a cafe hidden in the forest, from where the wonderful aroma of freshly cooked noodles came. Feeling the pain in his stomach from hunger, Takahashi decided to take a short break. Going inside, the brunette found an interesting scene between a famous rich flesh merchant and a samurai with a hat and glasses in a blue kimono with a cloak, under which a case with a katana inside was visible. The merchant pointed his cannon at the warrior, smiling venomously. The trunk of this rich man is clearly not Japanese, but European. This forced Kenshi to strain himself - he got on the trail and could have found out from this rich man where he bought this "dirty" gun.

— Do you think your blade can handle my gun? — the flesh merchant sang shrilly, pointing a firearm at the bespectacled samurai.

He just smiled and closed his eyes for a second, saying, — You are not worthy of my blade.. You're not even worthy of this blade.

A moment later, the warrior grabbed the machete lying behind him, slipped past the "opponent" and cut off his fingers. A terrifying scream filled with pain echoed through the building. Takahashi watched everything with surprise, but decided not to get involved yet. The man in the hat pinned the rich man to the table and smashed his weapon with a machete, starting to beg for information about where he bought his European barrel. The merchant immediately told everything, begging him not to kill, but the guy slightly lifted him by the collar and pulled down his glasses, showing the rich man something that Kenshi could not see. Releasing the flesh merchant, the samurai in the hat headed for the exit, but he was stopped by the words of the rich man, who managed to get up from the floor and poke at the warrior with his finger,

— You're a bastard half—blood demon with a dead stare that looks like Onre!

The "demon" abruptly took out his blade and cut off another finger of the merchant, causing him to scream in pain again. The samurai left, and Kenshi, forgetting about hunger, followed him. They have the same goal, don't they? This bespectacled warrior was also looking for whites in Japan.

—Hey, guy, — Takahashi called out to the man in the hat, and the man turned to him with a katana in his hand.

Kenshi raised his hands in surrender and added, — You're a half—breed.. But you're looking for Europeans too, right?
