Chapter 3:
Jin began a prayer to Hachiman, the god of war. Despite knowing that Hachiman was the patron god of the Minamoto clan, he recalled the time when he and his mother went through the family tree of the Sakai clan. Interestingly, during the time when their clan still resided in the mainland, one of his ancestors turned out to be the sister of Naruhito Minamoto, one of Japan's richest, most powerful, and honorable samurai in history. Jin's father would always pray to Hachiman before every battle, except for the time of the samurai invasion of Iki when he lost his life. Jin knew that his father was overwhelmed by the bandits led by Tenzo, but a small part of his heart believed that if his father had prayed that day, he might still be alive. Regrettably, he ceased playing the flute as his prayer came to an end.
Yuna asked, "Do you believe that praying will keep you safe?"
Jin's heart wanted to say yes, but his samurai side and body responded, "No, but it doesn't mean that the confidence gained from praying before a battle doesn't help."
"Battle?" Yuna inquired.
"Yes, during the Komoda Beach incident, I prayed to Hachiman. Even though you were the one who saved me, I believe that you were sent by Hachiman," Jin said with a serious expression.
Yuna burst into laughter. "Me, hehe, sent by Hachiman?"
"Laugh all you want, but let's keep moving. We don't want any patrolling samurai to find us, right?" Jin stated matter-of-factly.
"Okay," Yuna replied, her demeanor becoming serious as she remembered why they had come to the mainland. However, to avoid raising suspicion, she decided to discuss her and Taka's plan with Jin when they reached the mainland, making it appear as if they were friends taking a casual stroll and having an evening conversation. If questioned, they would say that they were sent from Tsushima to strengthen the samurai force in the Shimazu Battle Camp, in preparation for the impending Mongol forces.
