"Unable to Musashi to ignore purely and simply the women; the frenzy that their touching had raised in him was slow to subside. The mere memory of the violent white powder scent accelerated his pulse and no mental efforts was able to appease it. Threat more dangerous than an enemy standing before him, with a drawn sword; He ignored how to face it. Later, the body burned by the fire of desire, he was restless all night long. Even the innocent Otsu sometimes became the subject of his erotic fantasies. "
