A Drunk Duel with Katsura.

Taka Murayama tasked me with capturing the district's lively energy through photographs. After sneaking into rooms and snapping shots, a drunken samurai named Katsura challenged me in the garden. Despite his state, he proved deadly, forcing me to fight smart with every bullet and arrow.

I fast traveled to the Pleasure District using Veiled Edge Banners and there I had to meet Taka Murayama, who was glad to see my character has acquired a camera and asked him to take some photographs for her.

She directed me to a number of rooms and I had to make sure to capture the sheer energy of this place. I had to photograph the servants quarters first where I noticed some peoples were gossiping.

Then I had to photograph two more rooms but finding those rooms were not easy. I found one up from the ceiling where I noticed a man with a lady. After photographing that room, I had to find another room from the outside window.

Then I went to Taka who was waiting for me in the central room upstairs. I took a photograph of her first and then I showed her all the photographs. She was happy with my work.

She wanted me to take a photograph of the room down the hall and she warned me of a man named Kagoro Katsura.

When I was done photographing the room, there came this drunk man in the cinematic. He asked my character who he is and then asked him to go to the garden right away.

After getting to the garden, the drunk samurai was asking my character to admit he's a spy for the shogunate. Then the drunk samurai put out his sword and tried to cut down my character.

I had to fight a drunk man now, how silly. But after fighting him for a moment, he took me down easily even when he was too drunk. So I have to remember that a drunk samurai is still a samurai and still dangerous.

I started attacking him with my gun again and drained almost half of his health. When I lost ammo, I was shooting the drunk samurai with arrows but even after wasting all the ammo of the gun and arrows, the drunk samurai was coming for me.

He was skilled enough so I had to be careful while attacking him in melee. When my attacks were not doing much damage to him, very few attacks of the drunk samurai would take me down and I was taken down for several times.

At the last try, I go a lot more careful. I used all the arrows and bullets carefully so not wasting any on him, though I wished I had more bullets and arrows. At last I took him down but it was not about killing him.

The drunk samurai got tired and also got lost in the battle against me. Then suddenly Ryoma came over and said he knows this samurai and said this is Katsura. Yeah, the Katsura that Taka warned me about.

Ryoma took Katsura away.

Then I went to Taka Murayama for reporting and she said she came down there to see what all the fuss was about and she asked me to meet her in her chamber.

After meeting her in her chamber, she gave me news about the samurai who came abroad the black ship. And my character has established a bond with Taka Murayama before finishing this chapter.

We'll continue in another post with another game.
