*An old man walks around the courtyard of Odawara castle, smoking a pipe. Excited people are running around. Several stalls have been set up, selling different foods. A festival seems to be taking pace. He chuckles at one of his subordinates, ranting at a stall owner, whilst leaning on his cane*
Heh. Seems like your birthday celebrations are going of without a hitch. Shame ya couldn't see it, Saburo.
