After Shizukiri was introduced in last issue, we now have the first appearance of Mayumi, the other main player in "Bridge of Tears". This two-part story, however, isn't exactly focused on her.

Usagi is walking in the rain when he sees a guy being threatened and, as usual, has to interfere when he is not asked to.

So, he beats them up but the person he saves (baka = idiot) is less than grateful.

He arrives at the next town and enters an inn where the gang is. They leave, and another samurai enters. "He looks pretty formidable", notes Usagi.


We all know who was stalking Usagi in the woods, don't we? ;)
Both bosses enter the inn, one at a time, and offer Usagi a full-time job as their respective bodyguard, but he refuses both of them.



Usagi leaves town and finds shelter in a temple, where Kin is also staying. They go over the day's events, trading quips and barbs.
The next day, Usagi returns to the village, where a fire has just started.

This story is collected in Usagi Yojimbo Volume 23: Bridge Of Tears and The Usagi Yojimbo Saga Book 6.
Next, part 2 of this story.
