"If I may, Hiruma Genshiko's Field Manual strongly advocates using the spade to divide the battlefield. The resulting trenches can be prepared with a variety of traps, sharpened stakes being the quickest to deploy, particularly if one's army has them pre-made. So insistent is she on this point that she advocates trading space for time in order to select and control the battlefield."

"Most likely." he admits. "Hopefully, that's a minority of the appointments, however. Justice would crumble, if it were administered more by influence than competence.

"It would be an easy win for you. I am one of those rare folks that loves the work they do as part of their duty. I relax by polishing swords and working the forge, so I never really learned any gaming," the big man admits.Kitsuki Edogawa wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 1:08 am"I'll be grateful for your talents, I'm sure."

He nodded. "Your skills are better tasked elsewhere, Agasha-san. I may try to acquire something the next time we pass through a location with such things. Having some games on hand may be good for morale. They help me."

"What about word games? I hear some folks like playing word games for entertainment and to sharpen their minds? Not that I'd be a worthy opponent when matching wits and words with anyone. Shiritori maybe?" he suggests.

For her part, Kumiko keeps eyes on her troops. Banter along the march is a commonplace and no problem, so long as vigil is kept.

Yoshiko is one to enjoy a good game. Her interest peaked yet she kept quiet not to interrupt. Word game sounds like fun. I might not be the best but man I could learn a good game.Agasha Daikumo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 10:10 pm"What about word games?
