==Dialogue==
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Blood. Someone was ambushed.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Lord Fujitaka's man ran into trouble. The blood is still fresh.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This cave looks like a good place to hide.''
[]
*'''Ronin:''' (winces)
*'''Smuggler interrogator:''' ''Come on, beg! Don't you want to tell me about your beautiful children some more? Ugh. I really thought this one would last longer.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Their leader has inside information on Lord Fujitaka's operation. Enough to get this man killed.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I will put an end to this business of suffering.''

{{IUNote|Title=Setting Sail Soon|Text=Listen up! THe holds are nearly at capacity with slaves, so screw those Akechi bastards and their silver bars. We'll set sail in the morning. I'm off to the ship to make final preparations.<br><br>- Nycollaao}}
[]
*'''Portuguese slaver:''' ''Remember, a dead slave is worth nothing.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''One less slaver turning lives to misery in the name of profit. Now, I must cut off their main source of income.''
[]
*'''Silver trader:''' ''Oh, an intruder! I hope you'll give me a fight worth my while.''
[]
*'''Outlaw rogue:''' ''So would these work against, say, samurai armor? Not that I would ever shoot one.''
*'''Teppo smuggler:''' ''Samurai. Daimyo. You can shoot your own mother if you like.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I need to find the leader of this smuggling ring. Put an end to it once and for all.''

{{IUNote|Title=Away On Urgent Business|Text=I will be at my house north of Himeji Castle until further notice. Do not seek me out there unless you have a matter of extreme urgency.<br><br>Anyone asks where I am, you tell them I've disappeared into thin air.<br><br>- Mai}}
[]
{{IUNote|Title=Unsent Letter to Yoshisada|Text=Yoshisada,<br><br>I agreed to run your makeshift smuggling organization because I agreed we could all get rich for it. What I did not agree to is taking the fall for you once your incompetence makes your clever scheme collapse.<br><br>Make your master see reason or kill him, I do not care. But send men after me and I swear I will send their heads back to you in baskets. And then I'll have yours next.<br><br>- Mai}}
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Yoshisada is behind all of this. That explains why the smugglers knew Lord Fujitaka's every move. I need to tell Lord Fujitaka what I have uncovered.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I took care of the smugglers stealing your silver, my lord. They were Akechi working with the Portuguese to smuggle teppo.''
*'''Hosokawa Fujitaka:''' ''War and poetry, I understand. But the affairs of criminals will forever elude my grasp. Thank you''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''There is something else, my lord. One of your men is behind this.''
*'''Hosokawa Fujitaka:''' ''Yoshisada? This must be a mistake.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The man handles your affairs. Who else could steal from you with such ease?''
*'''Hosokawa Fujitaka:''' ''Such a weighty accusation demands undeniable proof. This could be a forgery meant to throw my clan into turmoil.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Then I will get you that proof.''
*'''Hosokawa Fujitaka:''' ''I hope you are not mistaken. For your sake.''
[]
*'''Yoshisada:''' ''I wish you hadn't told Lord Fujitaka about my business.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You decided to betray him.''
*'''Yoshisada:''' ''Lord Fujitaka is a great warrior and poet, but a terrible accountant. I only took what I needed. Anyone else would have left him destitute.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Is that how you justify treason?''

{{IUNote|Title=Yoshisada's Confession|Text=Great and Honorable Lord Fujitaka,<br><br>I write to you in earnest to beg your forgiveness for my odious crimes against you and your clan.<br><br>You show no care for your potential fortune, so it was a matter of time before someone exploited your disinterest. In that sense, I have done you a mercy in accepting the burden of stealing from you. I sought only to take what I needed, though I confess to growing bolder as you failed time and again to notice.<br><br>I hope you will understand my point of view and show the strength of character to forgive your most humble servant.<br><br>Yours,<br><br>- Yoshisada}}
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A confession in Yoshisada's own hand. It will pain Lord Fujitaka but... I must show him this.''

==Outcome==
Having dealt with the underlings and uncovered that [[Yoshisada]] was the mastermind behind the plan, the pair return to Lord Fujitaka with the evidence.
