Editing Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls:Volume 1 Prologue

==Prologue==

The year was 20XX.

The Great Empire of Japan was under the reign of the twenty fifth head of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Yoshiasu, seemingly under peace and prosperity.



About a hundred kilometres away from the centre of Great Japan, the special administrative district of Oedo.

At the foot of the sacred Mount Fuji, there existed the vast grounds of a school famed throughout the land.

Dissatisfaction with the rule of the Tokugawa clan, rebellion, and underground activities.

All these were once exclusively outside the academy, but now their influence could be felt from within. Wanting to smash the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate, it was like a foetus kicking within a mother's womb.
