Only a little less than a year. Perhaps the powers that be are uncertain what to do in my regard. Who can say for sure?

I am nothing so lofty as a healer. Just a medicine seller.

However, I have many methods for warding corruption at my disposal. Incense, omamori, ofuda, my services as a Night Walker.

Should all else fail, I may also be able to draw my sword and expel the corruption.
