Just before they arrived at Kyoma, Carter parted way with Tenmaru.
"Our journey ends here, Tenseitama." Carter said.
"You're not going to go with me to Kyoma?" Tenmaru raised an eyebrow.
"No. But don't worry, Ginro Musashi will be there. He will fulfill his promise to you." Carter said.
Tenmaru nodded. The words of a Shrine Maiden was enough to reassure him. After all, she had never been wrong about her prophecy.
Tenmaru rushed his horse forward and disappeared down the trail.
'Finally. He is gone.'
Carter needed to part way with him to switch to Ginro. He also needed to pick the aspect he would retain also. He diverted from the trail and stopped the horse under a tree.
"Stay here." Carter patted it gently. This time, however, the horse seemed to understand him.
It nodded.
Carter raised an eyebrow. 'Is this also an effect of the new powers I have?'
The white-haired girl sat down beside the stumped.
