[They all tuck the omamoris safely int he fold of their clothing. There is no telling how effective those will be, but Hana worked hard on them, and they all feel better carrying this little bit of her with them anyway.

Mikazuki isn't the captain of the unit, but he still steps forward to give her a little bow.]

We will bring him back, Aruji.

[In what state they do remains to be seen, but they will bring him back. Mikazuki will make sure of it.

They let themselves be taken into the whirlwind that is the normal process of transferring them to the era they are going to. At least they arrive in a deserted area. But now they are faced with the problem of moving around carrying swords, and of being relatively inconspicuous, which is hard with Mikazuki.

They set up a base in an abandoned shrine, and for the first part, Yamanbagiri and the Genji swords head out for scouting, since they are the ones least likely to attract too much attention with their clothing.

It still isn't easy for them to move around, they narrowly escape encounters with the police several times before they come back to report.

There's an undercurrent in the town of tension that they are sensitive to, because of the murders, and by nightfall they have a list of people who died who do not seem to correspond to any know person in History.

And when night falls, it is easier for Mikazuki to move out and head to the entertainment quarters, where his get up is less out of place and people think he is an entertainer. He scouts a little as well, keeping an eye out for a familiar silhouette. They need to come in and hit hard and go out. Not linger.
