SHlGEKO'S DOSSIER: A dangerous and impetuous woman . In my first year as magistrate she and some of her servants started a brawl with some of Bayushi Korechika's vassals. I told her she was lucky that it wasI who got there first and not the Samurai Squad. Because she had not drawn her sword on Korechika's heimin and no one had been killed, I convinced Osako not to formally charge her - once Genshi had made an abject apology to Korechika.
The very next year, she came to blows with Korechika's son Bayushi Otado while in the Licensed Quarter; I believe if they had
been elsewhere, it would have been swordplay. Osako cuffed her
for a month.
While Genshi was cuffed, I asked her why she caused such
trouble for the Bayushis. She said it was only natural for an
honorable woman to hate evil. I asked what evil they had done,
and she told me to read a history of the Scorpion clan. Then I
asked why she lived in a city held by the Scorpions, if she hates
them so. She smiled and said I might as well ask why fishermen
live near the water.
