#Opening Vignette — A Finger on the Last Chapter

Just before the session began, the GM opened the last chapter instead of giving a long explanation. A finger passed over the faction table, touched the occupation faces, and stopped at the foe list.

"Tonight we go dojo type. The Hundred-Tale Society doesn't appear directly—Black-Tag Gang is selling a famous sword."

The ronin player asked immediately. "Who pays the fee?"

"The dojo master. But the dojo master wants to hide the fact that the sword is a famous sword."

The entertainer player opened a fan. "The rumor has already spread, then. Is there anyone who knows who sold it?"

The GM's finger moved down the table again. "The witness is the child who scrubs backs at the bathhouse. But since yesterday that child can't remember their own name."

The inspector's aide player did not smile. "Then we need to decide the report title first. Is it a dojo disturbance, a disappearance, or a yoma incident?"

The GM closed the last chapter. "Good. The first scene is in front of a closed dojo door. From inside, the sound of a wooden sword breaking came once."

The reference table is not the end of the story. It is the final lantern that helps the group at the table call up the same image quickly. When factions, occupations, foes, and locations can be linked with a fingertip rather than a long search, Edo's night begins at once.

#Scent — The Last Ledger

Reference tables are cold, but in Edo a ledger moves incidents. Which faction's name you write and which foe you pick out changes the direction of the night.

#Law — Using the Reference

During session preparation, quickly choose factions, occupation faces, foes, and frames.
Check source documents and co again for detailed numbers and rules.
The reference is a tool for narrowing choices, not a list that limits possibilities.
