Ogen chuckles as she faced the merchant. "I'd love to, my dear. What wares do you have for an old woman?" Ogen smiled. Suddenly, Tarou, one of the warriors approached Ogen. 

"Ogen-sama... I advise you to refrain buying from unknown merchants. We'll never know what 'miracles' they might have." Tarou's blue eyes glared at the merchant. For a split second, one might notice that Tarou's eyes flashed green before returning to its current hue. "I suggest we move now, Ogen-sama." 

Ogen shook her head as she sighed. "Tarou-chan, I don't believe that this young man is hostile. However, I will take your suggestion to leave early. Mia-chan will be the one to purchase from you, stranger. I sincerely apologize for my lieutenant's behavior." Ogen nodded as she turned around. "Darian-san, shall we?" 

Ogen marched forward towards the temple. The thumping of the wooden umbrella creating a steady rhythm.

Mia's eyes flashed green as she smiled at the merchant as she looked at the wares he had. "What would you have for Ogen-sama?"

"I've got a bad feeling about this, Tenchi." Danjo remarked as he coughed.

"It's nothing, Danjo-sama. It's fine."
