Out of concern for those people, The Wandering Samurai went to slice all of those pesky monsters<ref name="chara"/>. | ||

During this story, the moon occassionally shows the number {{Nihongo|555-SAMURAI}}. Dialing it on the [[Phone]] plays sound effects of the samurai fighting [[yōkai]]. | ||
[[File:Pinwheel Girl.png|thumb|left|64px]]As the Samurai wanders, the sun dips below the horizon, and he rests his weary body under a tree on the grounds of an old temple. He proceeds to sing the Picky Eaters' Song as he sleeps, and wakes up to two children, [[Pinwheel Girl|one]] holding a pinwheel, and the other holding a rice ball. Their mother asked them to offer the rice ball to the samurai, who graciously accepts it, and finds the taste similar to how his own mother used to make them. While thinking about how to repay them, he stumbles upon the kids in distress, as their pinwheel was stolen by [[Demons]]. In the name of justice, the samurai follows the demons to a cliff, where he proceeds to slice them all until getting the pinwheel back. The samurai wanders further into a city, where he helps a [[Bunny Man|businessman]] recover a stuffed bunny that was stolen by the marauding spirits. | [[File:Pinwheel Girl.png|thumb|left|64px]]As the Samurai wanders, the sun dips below the horizon, and he rests his weary body under a tree on the grounds of an old temple.
