"So, there's Kunugibayashi village, WitherTree(Kuchiki) village, Shirasuna village, Kogane village, Mizuguruma village, Miharashi village, and finally Chinowa village, right?"<ref>'''WitherTree''': I've decided to start using the meaning-based translated names for the villages from here on as some of the TV translators did. It should sound more natural and certain references to naming reasons won't make sense otherwise. For now it's just WitherTree in this chapter, but I'll eventually go back and change all of them. Also note that Withertree/Kuchiki is not part of the original list from chapter 1.</ref>
