to join me on a final mission dealing with Yoshioka.

being asked to deliver him to Rei Kuno, the Emper-

throes of our enemy, but it is something the Shogun
himself has asked of us. We cannot decline. We are
going to ferry to Yokohama, to Kushihara Castle, and
deliver the prisoner. Afterwards, we will return
home victorious, rewarded and celebrated. Tomor-

the ferry. Bring your items as we will not be return- riken and Hyosuke Kushimoto. Hyosuke Kushimoto
