Nice chapter!
So Musashi is leaving the inn, because he is preoccupied and getting stalked, but Seijuro.
It was nice/interesting seeing Musashi questioning his approach to his fights. What if he could win without using his sword...?
Matahachi breaking down as his failure and lies catch up to him....
And Otsu wants to die?!?! Her feelings are probably all mixed up, because of Matahachi and Musashi....
Let's see what this New Year brings for our characters!
