-Kenzo-

In the blushing coastal city of Salonica Bay, is where I currently am...

How did I get here you ask?

I got lost...

I was supposed to end up in an island nearby but I guess the city isn't so bad.

I am currently devouring some fried chicken at some dingy restaurant that I've never been to before, but to be honest this is about the best chicken I've ever tasted.

But today was definitely not my off day...

I definitely short in cash, and there wasn't anything thing that I could do to earn myself some units.

So I sat there, thinking about how I actually wasted my money on chicken, crispy fried chicken...

In the slightest of occurrences, a commotion takes place from the outside or at least that's what I heard while taking a huge bite from the one of the many drumsticks.

I take a quick flight outside to see a man playing chess with another older man, and the commotion was that of shocked spectators

I take a deep look at the situation and what surprised the spectators was that the one man was fixated on a book while endlessly picking out the opponents pieces of what seems to be a one sided game.

I go back into the restaurant to go finish my meal when I find that some idiots who where helping themselves to it.

If you want to know what was really in my mind, then it's simple...

I walk towards them while having the strongest of emotions in me

Rage...

"Oi, what...chck...you looking at mate?!" One of them that was sitting across managed to utter while eating the chicken that drained my last penny.

"You're eating FOOD THAT I PAID FOR!!!" I yell to the loudest of my yelling abilities, but in their case, it went in the one ear and out the other.

"Is that so, well then... Thanks pal.." He had the damn audacity to say that to me without knowing how much had to pay for that.

"THAT'S IT!!!!"

I draw out my left fist and give one of them a huge blow that sends them flying, crashing through the doors.

The rest of them started panicking about the one that probably met his end as I swoop the last drumstick from the now empty bowl.

"BOOOOOOSSSSS!!!" They yelled which sounded like 'Boss' and 'Boos'.

That's when all of them rounded the weapons, whether it be guns or knives they came like a bull stampede that was ready to crush me.

But little did they know...

Satori Slash!

This devastating attack sends all of them crashing to anything really, with their weapons cut in half.

I approach the door when I say someone of a large stature stand right before me.

I wield my only sword and stand my ground ready for any attack.

"You think having a sword would scare someone like me?" He cracked his knuckles and burst out a quick laugh.

I went on full charge, ready to make him fall harder than he expected.

Kyoto Slash!

In quick succession, I boltzingly sprint towards the large man, cutting him down, while breaking what was left from the wall that held the doors.

I see chess pieces flying around while the very same man who was casually reading his books, but from the collision that took gave a hard glare at me that stopped me at my tracks.

That's when I figured out who he was...

He was the man known as The Ultimate Enigma

"You broke my concentration!..." He implied while his book was lying on the ground as if it was the victim in this situation.

"I'm sorry about this." I walk towards him and hand him his book from I retrieved from the good.

"So what's up with you and all of them?" He ask while his index pointed towards one of the men that was unconscious.

"They ate my food without knowing how hard it was for me to earn that." I say while placing my sword back in it's sheath.

"Violence is everywhere nowadays, it is even in the littlest of things." He went straight back to reading his book.

"What's your name?"

This question made me completely blank as I thought that the entire world knew my name.

"I am Kenzo!" I say while doing my pose while holding the handle of my sword, looking to the left.

"Can I call you Samurai?" It was like he completely didn't care at all.

"..."

"Sure, why not..." I give an unsettling sigh while saying this.

"I am Eiji, nice to meet you." He sounded completely bland, but he didn't really care at all.

I decided it was time to leave the scene and venture outwards into this city, that's when the weirdest thing happened.

He was walking right besides me...

"Don't mind me, I'm just accompanying you in your journey." He closed his book and started to look in front of him.

"I'm looking to hire a boat that can help me get to the nearby island." I might as well tell him about my journey plans.

"I happened to own a ship that can occupy 4 people." He tells me while taking a look around the city or at least the area that we were passing.

"Thanks for that." I say in order to show my gratitude towards him.

"It's the least I can do besides, when one ventures out by themselves, they become bored." He said while fixing his hat.

"Good, if we going to venture out, then we will need some supplies before we head out." I say just for the fun of it.

"That's okay with me, as long as I don't have to carry anything or deal with anyone." He says while opening his book.

Sometimes I don't even know why I do the things that I even do.

But in time the answers will come...

The Wandering Swordsman encountered The Ultimate Enigma!
