Naoe and Yasuke traveled to the village of [[Katsuragi]].
*'''Naoe/Yasuke:''' ''This is the village the {{Wiki|miko}} spoke of. I should find the [[priest]]s.''
In the north of the village, they overheard a child talking to their
*'''Child:''' ''Father, why do the priests' protectors not help them?''
*'''Man:''' ''Quiet.''
In the south, they found an injured monk on the ground and spoke with him.

*'''Naoe:''' ''Who did this to you?''
*'''Man:''' ''It was the protectors.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Protectors?''
*'''Man:''' 'The [[ashigaru]] do not protect people like me. They protect only their leader and his secrets.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Secrets?''
*'''Man:''' ''Enough questions, miss. I don't need another beating from them.''

</tabber>
In front of the [[Sumoujo]], they found a crowd of priests with one questioning the guard.
*'''[[Shinto]] Priest:''' ''You have no shame? You should protect us! I must speak with the {{Wiki|Gokenin}} No Kanrei. Where is he?''
*'''Gokenin:''' ''Gokenin No Kanrei speaks, we obey. He has his reasons''
The guard soon left and returned to his position of guarding the [[Gokenin Manor]]. Naoe and Yasuke passed by the guard.
<tabber>
|-|Naoe=
*'''Gokenin:''' ''Don't poke your nose where it doesn't belong, girl. The Gokenin No Kanrei will cut it off.''
Naoe left to talk with the priest.
*'''Naoe:''' ''What's happening here?''
*'''Shinto Priest:''' ''Evil spirits attack us. But the warriors meant to protect only offer excuses.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''I knew the shrines were targeted. You all too?''
*'''Shinto Priest:''' ''The spirits steal relics from the shrines. We carry those relics to keep them safe.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''So you are under threat.''
*'''Shinto Priest:''' ''The Gokenin No Kanrei and his men know this. Yet nothing is done.''
Naoe noticed [[Matsunaga Kojiro|Kojiro]] has appeared once again and left to spoke with him.
*'''Naoe:''' ''You again.''
*'''Kojiro:''' ''Why do the gokenin not help the priests, I wonder? Is it because they are slobby and lazy?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''There is more to it than that.''
*'''Kojiro:''' ''Well, I have noticed a lot of activity over there at the Gokenin No Kanrei's [[Gokenin Manor|manor]]. Very suspicious. If it were me, I would pay a visit. See what answers I can find there.''
Listening to his advice, Naoe sneaked in through the back of the manor.
*'''Naoe:''' ''The Gokenin No Kanrei has secrets. I'll find them in here.''
In one of the servant houses in the corner, Naoe found a note.
