Nikolae peeks inside the general store. They are selling food such as fruit, vegetables, and meat. There are also a multitude of tools being sold like tinderboxes, axes, rope and ammunition.
The Prussian then heads over to check out the church. He steps inside of it to find it is a tall, Gothic holy house. People pray at the various pews. Some are on the sides, arranging candles and tributes in front of statues of Saints. At the very back there is an altar. A line is in front of it, with people coming to be blessed by the Priest, a man in white robes who dips his hands in water and then touches their foreheads. Above the altar on the wall is a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Nikolae sees the gambling house is active. He hears the roll of dice and the swapping of cards. In front of the building are three men, standing together. Nikolae proceeds up to them and asks,
"Excuse me, but I was wondering why there would be a gambling house in the middle of a pious village." One of the men answers,
"Because luck is no different than faith. You put your trust that the Lord will help you win, and if he says so, you shall win." As he says this, he seems a bit nervous.

Due to his fencing classes, he took the habit of donning a chail mail under his clothing.
Biography: Inheritance? Nikolae had no need for such things, especially because his older brother would receive all of it... Anyway, hailing from the Kriegsmacher family from the Prussian area of Germany, Nikolae was given a large sum of gold and convinced to leave the country or face the consequences of a struggle for the ownership of all the family's possessions. The youngster always wanted some adventure, and the prospect of not having to worry about poison in his food and assassins hiding in his bedroom seduced him, and to Japan he went. He is almost always smiling and his intelligence shifts along different areas, causing him to appear to be rather stupid sometimes.
He had fencing classes and carries a longsword along his rifle, which always has an attached bayonet.

He wears his hair extremely long giving rise to a local myth that he will only shave it when he is defeated in battle
Biography: A legend among his people Satoshi's boisterous and warrior like nature have seen him become a popular figure among the Imperialist small-folk and samurai alike. He has a great love of battle and prefers to fight with traditional methods, though he does not look down on the men who have adapted to more modern ways. Satoshi is not well liked by a number of the higher ranked imperial officals due to his brashness but his fighting ability is well respected, meaning that while he may never have a command of his own he is still a potent weapon when simply pointed towards the enemy.
While Satoshi would prefer Japan to remain true to its traditional ways he does not disrespect the Shogunate and sees them as a worthy opponent who have presented him with the opportunity of a life-time to prove himself.
