Dialogue
Fujibayashi Naoe:There's the dog. Looks like there's been a fight.
Stray Dog:[growls]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Sh. I won't hurt you. Are you alone?
Stray Dog:[whimpers]
Fujibayashi Naoe:"Ichiro." You belonged to him.
Stray Dog:[whimpers]
Fujibayashi Naoe:There's blood in your fur. Were you in a fight?
Stray Dog:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Show me who hurt you. I'll follow.
Stray Dog:[barks]
Naoe followed the dog.
Fujibayashi Naoe:Auntie Matsu always told me to look out for strange dogs. Soft fur, but sharp teeth.
Stray Dog:[growls]
Fujibayashi Naoe:I wonder how long you waited at Ichiro's grave. What an unusual relationship you must have had with him.
Stray Dog:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Where are you taking me? Not into a trap, I hope.
Stray Dog:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:I'll have to trust you.
Samurai Duelist 1:Where is that stupid dog?
Samurai Duelist 2:Look harder. Takako wants that key!
Samurai Duelist 1:There's the mutt! Get him!
Naoe protected the dog from the samurai.
Fujibayashi Naoe:Your purpose has somehow become mine.
Stray Dog:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:I do not usually follow dogs. There is something about you, though...
Fujibayashi Naoe:You know something about Ichiro's death, don't you?
Stray Dog:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Lead on. We will uncover the truth.
Reaching a home, the dog growled at a woman there.
Stray Dog:[barks, growls]
Naoe approached the woman, Takako.
Takako:Ah, so the mongrel's left my brother-in-law's side. He's been lying there whimpering for days. Ichiro, that idiot! He inherited the big, beautiful estate while me and my husband live on a farm like animals!
Fujibayashi Naoe:What exactly happened to Ichiro?
Takako:Ah, the fool choked on some fish. Didn't check for bones first. And now he's bones! Probably why the mutt stayed. Dogs love bones. And now, the estate is ours. [laughs]
Stray Dog:[growls]
Fujibayashi Naoe:The dog doesn't like you.
Takako:The feelings mutual. Before Ichiro died, he hid the inheritance and gave the key to this creature.
Fujibayashi Naoe:You took it back?
Takako:Not before that mutt attacked my guards. Almost bit my arm off! Some of that blood on his fur is mine.
Fujibayashi Naoe:Give the key back, and I'll go. And take the dog with me.
Takako:Ichiro's box is nowhere to be found. The key is useless.
Takako:If you find the key, take it! Just leave me out of it.
Naoe left the woman alone and turned to the dog.
Stray Dog:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:That key must be nearby. I'm trusting your nose to find the key.
Stray Dog:[sniffs]
Naoe found the key underneath the house.
Fujibayashi Naoe:Here it is. The key.
Upon resurfacing from the house's crawlspace, Naoe discovered that the dog had disappeared.
Fujibayashi Naoe:Hmm, where'd he go? Maybe he went back to his owner's side.
Naoe then traveled back to Ichiro's gravesite where she first found the dog. The dog was standing in front a box, to which the key Naoe had just found unlocked.
Fujibayashi Naoe:You were protecting this the whole time.
A letter was inside the box.
Fujibayashi Naoe:"If you are reading this, you have earned the trust of my one and only friend. Takako has succeeded in her plan. I knew it would not be long before she put a knife in my back. Tell Tsuki-maru I am sorry, and scratch his head for me. Behind the ears."
Tsuki-maru:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Tsuki-maru, eh?
Tsuki-maru:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Ichiro says he's sorry. And when you're ready to say goodbye to him, you would make a great guard dog. With me, at your new home.
Tsuki-maru:[barks]
Fujibayashi Naoe:Good boy.
Outcome
Naoe helped Tsuki-maru and gained him as a guard dog for her Hideout.
