"Tiyaka? I haven't heard of her, but tomorrow is my day off. I'm more than happy to go with you." She laughs. "I always liked mysteries." There's a knock on the door. "Midori-san? The empress regrets to inform you that she will have to reschedule your meeting."
For a moment, she thinks she's got him, but he anticipated the deception. He makes a hand gesture, smiling, and his chest hardens, becoming rocky. The effect only lasts for a moment, but it's long enough for her blade to bounce off of him. He then launches a punch that lands underneath her breastplate, winding her and sending her to her knees. She tries to rise, but can't, white trails at the boundaries of her vision. The master kicks away her blade, standing above her, before he gently nudges Kyouka onto her back. "You've fought well. Better than anyone I've fought in a long time. Be proud." He prepares to take his reward, loosening his belt.
She sees the face of a stranger. "No. He hired outsiders. He hasn't trusted Clan Rai for a while."
"For now, simply ready your men for battle. Soon, there will be a cleansing."
“That is unfortunate. Thank you for letting me know. Please give my best wishes to the empress.” Midori replied to the voice on the other side and waited to hear them leave before turning back to her sister. “Well, I guess I won't be able to get any answers from the empress, at least not tonight. So, what should we do now? I seem to have gotten some free time and I don't have anything planned...”
"Up to you. We could maybe hit the town, but I get it if you just want to stay here."
Inazuma sigh with relief, as she get know, that she didn't killed her sister.
She looks at Inazuma. "The emperor's men won't get involved, but they won't help." She narrows her eyes, before perking up. "Midori. Could you get her to betray her father?"
"Midori could be good aliance, but I'm not sure.We have to convice her, it is for good of her clan and people, because killing own father is hard enought for me." Inazuma confess. Ewen after all what he did, lord Yokuboo is still her father.
“Hmm... How about we just stay here and catch up for tonight? Tomorrow morning we can check out the town together and visit lord Tiyaka. I got an invitation for a tea ceremony at the estate of lord Terada, one hour past noon tomorrow, but I have nothing planned for the time before noon.”
"You might as well try to convince her." The kunoichi huffs. "I wouldn't be so pessimistic about our chances."
Midori is meditating in her room. She doesn't hear Inazuma approach.
He pulls off his kimono, revealing a cock as massive as the rest of him, a monster as big as any she's had. "Please, don't take it harshly. You are a fantastic warrior." He pulls off her breastplate, and then unzips her bodysuit.
"I don't intend to allow the nanban to walk over us, but they must be dealt with subtly. They should not even realise that they're being thrown out until they are forced to leave our shores. As for the two of them, it's better to make your enemies work for you, than just kill them. Dead, they make me look like a tyrant. Alive, and subservient, they make me look like an emperor powerful enough to match my father."
"Thank you. We will make use of your experience in taming women, but for now, I'd like to see to them personally. As for Sengoku, that depends on him."
