Author's Comment[]
When I was a boy, I was good at dodging in dodgeball. I would always be the last player remaining, so I felt like a hero.
The boy in this story is a historical personage who recreates that feeling for me. If readers find a little-known period in Japanese history to be thrilling through the unique perspective he provides, both the boy from 30 years ago and the boy from 700 years ago would be proud.
