The River Children is a Tale of Tsushima that becomes available during Act 2: Retake Castle Shimura.
Synopsis[]
Jin Sakai encounters a distraught woman named Shino who claims her father was abducted by a kappa. Suspecting that man rather than demon was responsible, Jin searches the area and finds a set of tracks leading across the river. There, he finds the dead body of Shino's father. He follows more tracks and is led to a bandit camp. He defeats the bandits and, searching their belongings, finds a handmade flute belonging to Shino's father. He returns to Shino to give her the flute and break the news. She remains convinced only a demon could have killed her father so brutally, but Jin explains how desperation can bring out the worst in people. With her father dead, Shino decides to travel to Akashima to live with her aunt.
After the tale's completion, Jin goes to Akashima Village and sees Shino there. Shino tells Jin that she is learning to be a healer. Jin tells her that Shino's father would be proud of her.

Is a woman crying nearby? She might need help.
― Jin's journal, before starting the Tale.
A woman says she heard screams and splashing in the river, and believes a kappa took her father from the riverbank. She spoke of the kappa with such certainty, maybe she's speaking the truth. Demon or not, I'll find out what happened to the man.
