The Exiled Sword Saint Hired Me to Cook, Not to Fight cover

Tomoe Kisaragi walks out of a bad kitchen and up a snowed-in mountain, where the exiled Sword Saint pays double for miso soup and a bed warmed by someone not afraid of her. The pass closes, the dojo has one futon, and the saint has been cold for a year.
