Sourcebook
Intro
Clouds flow leisurely beneath their feet.
The mountain peak closest to the heavens.
In a small pavilion overlooking the sea of clouds, two absolute masters sit facing each other, tilting their wine cups.
Kuhahahahaha!
With a boisterous laugh, he lifts the liquor bottle and fills the Sword Empress's cup to the brim.
Your face hasn't changed a bit, even though the rivers and mountains have changed three times.
The hand that was skillfully pouring the wine stops for a moment.
The laughter gradually subsides.
...But you know.
Interesting news has come up from the Beggars' Union.
Clear wine fills the cup to the brim.
Upon the gently swaying light of the wine,
the image of a swordsman with pure white hair is quietly reflected.
