Naoe traveled to the small island of Okinoshiroishi, finding it inhabited by bandits. After clearing the area, she climbed up to the top of the tallest rock formation, but found no sight of the meeting targets.
Naoe:This is the place Rufino mentioned, I'm sure of it. But this can't be right. I'll use the messages he decoded earlier to read this one for myself.

- The Architect
Naoe:Rufino is a liar. But why? I'll confront them all. Then I'll have my answers and their blood.
Yasuke traveled to the small island of Okinoshiroishi, finding it inhabited by bandits. After clearing the area, he climbed up to the top of the tallest rock formation, but found no sight of the meeting targets.
Yasuke:This is the place Rufino mentioned, I am certain. But this cannot be right. I will use the messages he decoded earlier to read this one for myself.

Ermigo:I understand your frustration, but you're being shortsighted.
Rufino:You lied to me. You used me!
Ermigo:A necessity that broke my heart, each and every day.
Rufino:This isn't you, Ermigo. This can't be you. Leave them, I beg you. I've done all I could to hold back the tide, but I can't protect you forever!
Ermigo:I'm the one attempting to protect you. But you have to do as I say.
Rufino:I brought you those names in good faith, but you made me a murderer!
Ermigo:That is the price of peace, my friend.
Naoe and Yasuke arrived to confront Rufino and his friend.
Ermigo:You've ruined this.
Rufino:Please. He's my friend.
Yasuke:You lied to me. You betrayed me.
Naoe:You sent us away on a fool's errand.
Yasuke:And for what? To protect your treacherous friends?
Rufino:How could I trust you? A man blinded by vengeance?
Yasuke:This is not vengeance! It is justice!
Naoe:Wait. Both of you.
Rufino:He was my friend when I had nothing! No one!
Yasuke:He is working with the Templars!
Rufino:So was I. Ermigo was a brother to me. I won't let you kill him.
Rufino drew his pistol and pointed it at Yasuke. After a short while, they heard a voice coming from inside the watchtower.
Gaspar: Deveria matá-lo eu próprio por te-los trazido todos até aqui. Mas primeiro, irei punir este traidor. (I should kill him myself for leading all of you people here. But first, I shall punish this traitor.)
The voice was revealed to belong to Gaspar, the Templar leader and the one called the Architect.
Ermigo: Senhor, só um momento... (Senhor, just a moment...)
Gaspar ordered his men to point their arquebuses at the group.
Ermigo:Wait! Esperem! (Wait!)
Ignoring his pleas, Gaspar ordered one of his men to fire at Rufino. However, his friend Ermigo shielded him from the attack, becoming the one fatally wounded instead.
Rufino:Ermigo!
Gaspar: [Huffs] Kill them all, then.
Surrounded, Naoe threw a smoke bomb to provide some cover for the group.
Rufino:I lied to you, but now my actions speak the truth. Come! Join me!
Naoe:Let's fight the true enemy. Together!
Rufino:Naoe! I'm sorry I lied to you!
Naoe:Fight now! Explain later!
Yasuke:Let us fight the true enemy. Together!
Rufino:Yasuke! I'm sorry I lied to you!
Yasuke:Fight now! Explain later!
Gaspar:Now I get to put down Nobunaga's pet.
After a long fight, Gaspar and his men were eliminated. Rufino then went to check on his dying friend.
Ermigo:I knew that you were too soft-hearted to know the truth. But I hoped that one day you'd come to see... join the cause. That we could be... true brothers once again. [sighs]
Ermigo passed away from his wounds.
Rufino:Ermigo.
Yasuke:I... I am sorry for your loss.
Rufino:Even though he was one of them?
Yasuke:He was your true friend. A sentiment he proved with his final act. Rufino, I...
Rufino:Stop. I... I lied to you. I broke the trust between us. But... I have always been a fool. It's why all my friends are dead. Garrett, Umi, Ryuichi. And now... I have no one.
Yasuke:That is not true.
Naoe:Our league is made of people who believe they can make our world a better place. A hopeful fool will fit right in.
Yasuke:Come back with us, Rufino. Join us - as our ally.
Rufino:These men killed my friend, stole my hope, poisoned my desire for peace and twisted it into a means of taking power. [sighs]
Yasuke
Yasuke:Then come, we will hunt all who manipulate the good for their own gain.
Rufino:We'll show them that these strays have claws.
Letter from J. to Gaspar
Gaspar,
Brothers Duarte and Caro have failed. These islands are slipping through our fingers. It falls to you to take control of the Seta River - the Order needs it to secure passage for the members of the Black Cross we are mobilizing. Once they reach your shores, the tide will once again swing in our favor.
