Vagabond 244

This translation is for Strays’ use and their use alone. Anyone else, please do NOT use this to scanlate. Thanks.

New chapter, fun times. Though now we’re going to hit a spell of philosophical and talkie-talkie, as is apparently the usual for Musashi. Kill a lot of guys, think about it. Kill a lot of guys, think about it.

Anyway, on to the translation.
