"Really now." Kyouka sighed, "You do know your bastard son is a skilled fighter, yes?" She asked, licking her lips seductively. "And you do know what I do whenever I see skilled fighters." She said, with her murderous grin. "Can you really say that when I kill him... or, maybe you'll do it yourself on the off chance he beats me?"
Jurobei stayed silent, not answering the question, only looked at the woman, wondering who she was truly working for.
Hmm... The fireball and the clone seem like they can be useful... the tiara as well... “Very nice... how much would the fireball and the clone spells cost me? And would you mind if I give the tiara a try? I'd like to see how it looks on me...” Midori asked after examining all the offered items.
She remains looking at him. "Lord Yokuboo? Very well, if you don't want to answer, I won't press you. Her majesty would like to have the chance to speak with you, when it's convenient."
Inazuma wraped arms across cheast. "Yes, you can share with me information about ritual, I know that already. But tell me, what do you want from me or my sisters? Because in your pure hearth I won't belive."
Though meant to be worn with nanban clothes, the tiara suits Midori, framing her head well without being too ostentatious. She can feel the effect the moment she puts the piece on, confidence flowing through her. The woman names a fairly high price. Midori realises that she has enough to buy both of the spells, or a spell and the tiara, but not enough for all three. If she buys two items, her funds will run fairly dry. (-1 wealth. Sorry, I forgot to mention that Midori has two wealth, since her sister gave her some money.)
"I'd like you to keep doing what you've been doing. In fact, I'd like you to do better than you've been doing. Make yourself indispensable to your father, and gain his trust. All you have to do besides that, is tell us what moves he makes.
Inazuma laught for that. "I serve to him since I was born, and if I can tell something about him, he trust anybody. People are tools to him, he care abut them as long they are usefull to him. He don't see me as daughter, only like servant." She smile sarcastic. "But why I should think you would be better? I don't know anything about you, except your web of power reach far and you have much wealth. Yes, taking off curse is intresting and it is something what I wanted, but it won't help me or my sister if Lord Yokuboo started hunting us down as traitors, with all his forces."
"If you're not a fool, he won't find out, not until he's already dead." The masked woman looks at Inazuma. "As for us, well... We're people who want to see this nation bettered."
"Has he now?" Kyouka cooes, "Well, he won't be the first married samurai I'll cut down." She added in a more devious tone. "Mmh. I guess I'm stuck here until my dress finishes drying." She sighed, "Ah. I hope the tailor stays open til later." She said, remembering her as she how her bodysuit was being repaired.
Inazuma don't belive in this bullshit about 'Better nation'. "Yes, better nation, it is purpose which we all want to gain. Problem it is, many people have diffrent point of view how to gain that." She look into masked woman eyes. "I don't ask for ypour leaders names or your party title, but what you want to change I would like to know. Soldier better fight for cause, when he know his purpse." She steped closer to masked woman.
"I suppose you couldn't give him a break?" Shintaro yawns. "I guess I could go find a maid and get her to give you her dress."
"We want to end the squabbling, the court politics, and create a new system. No longer will the people be ruled by venal and corrupt lords who care only for their own benefit. We're going to change Hattori, so that no one stands between the people and their emperor."
"Ho? Is that a request for your "mistress?" Kyouka said in a teasing tone, nodding at his suggestion to get a dress. "Yeah, that'll be wise. You're too tired to be any fun while I wait. So, I'd rather get on with my business."
"Now you sound like your sister." He laughs, before getting up and leaving the room. A few minutes later, an attractive maid with a height and bust similar to Kyouka's enters the room. "Y-You wanted my kimono, ma'am?"
"Indeed, how fast the wind changes direction." He said with wonder, idly commenting on woman's fast change of her lady's wishes. "Today evening, in adobe of the gardens, would be the fastest." He answered shortly. This place also wasn't too public.
"Replace lords for... what? Officials? Because no emperor can't do everything by himself, he need people to reach far away to provinces. So you want change lords, who have their position by right of birth, to people, who will be chouse for their skills and their services?" That would be intersting, but Inazuma doubts it would be possible to done. "Let's say, that I would help you. Last days I lost for looking for your clues and trails, time wasted what I should looking for information to my lord. If I want to gain his trust, I need some valuble data or inforamtion, what I could give him. Real information, because the lies he will quicly discover and won't belive on next time."
