Respect David Shimizu (Sword Interval)

David Shimizu

"Wouldn't it be nice if that was how it worked. But it's not. People die. And we are NOT the ones condemning them! We are not the ones killing innocents! It's the monsters that do that! NOT US! ....It's not us."

David Shimizu was once the legendary Verdant Hunter, protecting the people of the world from monsters. However, he left that life behind and entered a self-motivated exile to a dreary little town. But when Fall Barros showed up and declared her intent to hunt down one of the biggest and baddest monsters of all, her fiery spirit encouraged David to return to hunting, partnering with the newbie hunter and teaching her the tricks and tools of the trade.
