"Officer, I've been poisoned by villains, and I'm coming to Kyoto specifically to seek out a famous doctor for treatment. If you don't let me in, then I can only wait to die here at the City Gate." The man said with a smile to the guard, which caused more pus to ooze out from the scars, frightening the guard into retreating repeatedly.
"Where's your identity document?" Another guard was much more composed.
The man took out his documents, only then did the guard let him in, though he couldn't help but advise him to put the mask back on.
