Itagaki Dato scanned the GMG comittee carefully. His memory couldn't let him remember any kind of situation where a Guild Master placed a foot on the Court Room, and the Shogun somehow felt a shiver down his back. Perhaps because he would never expect dealing with such personality, or actually the trait which always made him feel respect towards those who once taught the Blood Dragons in the art of fighting in nebulaes. Once Katsuo was done with his greeting, Dato left his stool and once again, walked toward the center of the Court, standing still a few meters from the Guildmaster.
Konbanwa, Katsuo-san. He bowed his head to the Guild Master slightly. "Allow us to express our most sincere thankfulness. Both the gifts and your visit are very appreciated." Dato made a gesture with the hand and immediately after, a Hatamoto kindly took the chest out of the hands of Hiromichi, and then walking toward the Taishogun's chambers. "Forgive me if we seem like in a rush, but now we managed to arrange a proper meeting between a Guildmaster of the Gas Miners and the Blood Dragon Shogunate, we would rather listen to your words, while these sumptuous blades will find for sure their place in the hands of the Taishogun."

Teraku hesitated for 20 long seconds before taking the box on his hands. With a sad look in his eyes -yet no other signal which would expose his emotional shock-, he placed his index finger on the little scanner and the box made a 'click', opening itself.
