Description

Yasuke and Naoe work together to track down clues regarding the Shinbakufu member known as "The Wise".

Dialogue

• Fuyu: So Omononoushi has called you here.
• Yasuke: Is that one of the kami? I do not think they did.
• Fuyu: The call of a kami is subtle. Other heard by the uninitiated as something else. Some say restless spirits are the cause of the damaged shrines.
• Yasuke: What do you say?
• Fuyu: I say it may be. Or perhaps no. But the result is the same. Omononushi is unsettled.
• Yasuke: What can be done?
• Fuyu: Join me in tribute to Omononoushi. Offer sake at his three shrines. Clarity will follow.
• Yasuke: I have learned sake rarely leads to clarity. But I will accept answers where I find them.
• Fuyu: My fellow kannushi hide in a nearby village. Too afraid to lead in the worship of Omononushi.
• Yasuke: Is this because of the damaged shrines?
• Fuyu: Yes. Without the priests' guidance, seeking Omononoushi becomes ever harder for the people.
• Yasuke: If it is not restless spirits behind the shrine attacks, then who is to blame?
• Fuyu: I fear only a human mind could stir up such turmoil and treachery. Yet its scope is beyond any one person.
• Yasuke: A conspiracy? If so, the culprits may be in positions of authority. They cannot be allowed to continue their leader's dark work.
• Fuyu: If death is the only path, then do what you must.
• Fuyu: Here. I will pray. You appease Omononoushi with the sake. O great Omononoushi, we offer gratitude to you for your blessings and guidance.
• Fuyu: Visit the two remining shrines. Repeat the ritual. For all Yamato's turmoil, you need fear nothing on this mountain.
• Yasuke: O great Omononoushi, I offer gratitude to you for your blessings and guidance.
• Yasuke: I will go to the last shrine. After I am done, I will speak to the miko.
• Kojiro: Seeking answers from spirits, are you? Then you are a fool.
• Yasuke: I suppose that is not the worst thing I have been called.
• Kojiro: A sense of humor is a rare commodity in this age. Kojiro. At your service.
• Yasuke: Yasuke. I suppose you're not seeking answers from them.
• Kojiro: I have all the answers I need.
• Yasuke: So what then is your purpose here? With me?
• Kojiro: Purpose? None. But you... you are on the trail of a formidable warrior, yes?
• Yasuke: Like you, I have no purpose here. Other than foolishly seeking answers from spirits.
• Kojiro: I see. You don't trust me.
• Kojiro: Then you are wise. In Yamato, everything is a lie. Even the lies. Now, if it is answers you want, go speak with the daimyo. Ours is Tsutsui Junkei. A fine young man.
• Yasuke: Lord Junkei? He was an ally to Lord Nobunaga. But not a trusted one.
• Kojiro: Very good. Trust no one. But if you want to get on his good side, take a gift. A... persimmon, perhaps? He is fond of them.
• Yasuke: Where will I find Lord Junkei?
• Kojiro: Like the truth, he is elusive. Definitely not in his castle. You like tea? They make excellent tea somewhere over there.
• Yasuke: Strange. He is gone.
• Yasuke: I am Yasuke of the Oda clan. I wish to pay my respects to Lord Junkei.
• Samurai: Lord Junkei is not accepting guests. But for a samurai of your standing, he may make an exception.
