Tamamaru

With the rainy season quickly closing in on the Black Forest, Eizo and his family must hurry to renovate the cabin in preparation for more time spent indoors.
The cold, stormy weather forces a change in routine, but Eizo knows just the thing to lift spirits and stave off cabin fever—comfort food! And now that Camilo has procured miso and soy sauce, Eizo can finally whip up some Japanese-style cuisine.
Just as the household is adapting to its new normal, a mysterious woman turns up at the forge, soaking wet and bearing Helen's stolen dual blades. She soon reveals herself to be Anne, a princess of the empire who commissions Eizo to create a custom two-handed blade.
Considering Eizo's past experience with the empire, can Anne's intentions be trusted? Or will the kingdom's finest blacksmith find himself caught between the hammer and the anvil of another geopolitical conflict?
