Akemi and Kenji in “A Friend in Need, Part 1”

I know you're a good man. In the teahouse, I felt the compassion in your heart. Don't fear me.

Who? Who was that demon?

The Lord of the Dark Land. He's preparing an army to wage war in Higuchi and slowly, the populace. Honorable monk [hands him a samurai sword] I beg you to do what must be done to stop him enslaving the souls of that city.

But I'm no swordsman.

There's one in the west, far beyond the setting sun.

A samurai? A priest? A god?

No, a warrior princess.
