A Plan

"What? Are we already going back again?"

"Aye, commander Miura reckons they won't be able to do much else for the rest of the day –best to stand down and relax a bit."

"Huh… It's even earlier than yesterday. True, we did crack open their weapons, but I don't really feel like I've done any work. Doesn't feel like battle. If anything this is easier than working in the fields."

"Best not let Jikouji or Morohira catch you saying that. They'll have you shifting stones for the rest of the week. Just accept the break, and come and catch a drink. I'm sure our boss has it all figured out anyway."

"Oy, you two! Make sure you don't drink too much. You need to be sober again by nightfall."

"Yes sir!"

"Nightfall? Is something going down later on? Would explain why we're on such an early break."

"Dunno. Seems like it though."
