The next day, at the break of dawn.
At the entrance of Hibi Village, the second-hand donkey cart was loaded with grain, herbal pots, books, money bags, and other miscellaneous items, all securely tied up. The silly son of Nozawa was also placed amidst the pile to shelter from the wind, indicating that Nozawa was ready to relocate to Takeshige Manor.
Now that his personal safety was assured and he had adapted to this chaotic era to some extent, he wished to pursue a better quality of life. Hibi Village was no longer suitable for him, even though it was closest to the point of crossing over, he ultimately decided to leave—he couldn't remain like a fool in this barren village forever, hoping without seeing a shred of possibility to return.
