Dear Ikko, Day 6
Ok, well I found out that I am no where near the border. A lady in the Kyomaru market yesterday said that the border was 24 miles away. Just great! If luck is on my side I might get there in another day, but I'm starting to slow down. The climate is really starting to effect me. I'm having a hard time breathing through my nose.
Oh, yeah! I just remembered. Koroku gave me those vitamin herbs. Maybe they would help me. I'm not quite sure how to use them, though. Maybe I should ask someone in the next town. If there is another town past here.
I know that I need to forget and move on, but that night still haunts me. And that thing that Yuri told me—"…then you must continue on…you must fulfill your Mission, Shigure…" What did he mean? I haven't stopped thinking about that either.
