I don't begrudge spending lots of money to buy a good sword. Even if I have to trade in my precious mink coat for a drink, I will still be proud of my vigorous and unrestrained behavior. All

revolutionaries! You must cherish your lives and not let your blood for freedom be in vain but with amazing value.
