Wearing a mask of stern expression and a strong voice, the one called Bishamonten took the attention of the others.

Bishamonten - As we are speaking of poisons of society, I need to know Fisherman, what have you done towards those who are a threat to our goals? Seems nothing has been done about the reports of Junkers being active so near the Kyushu border. Instead of looking for trouble outside, shouldn't you be paying attention to our people's well being?

The Fisherman was somewhat expecting that criticism, and for the response he needed to maintain the calm stance he had presented until now.

Fisherman - It's true we have seen an increased presence of the Junkers in the western border, and I have no excuse for not having done anything about it. However, the mission the Seven Fortunes have attributed to me was to expand our organization's reach, to find new partners and allies, and diversify our profit sources. You have explained to me that this were essential to boost the strength of Kusari security forces, and other Hogosha syndicates, so that they could handle the defense of Kusari without those concerns.

Jurojin - Yes, we have given this task to you. But I remind you that while you shouldn't be concerned with the security issues, you were tasked to find the groups within the Hogosha who could be trusted for such ordeals, and to provide them your support. I would like to see more effort put on greater collaboration and mutual support between your organization and others within Kusari. You are not to become a stranger in your own home.

Fisherman - Understood, Jurojin-sama. I shall devote more efforts for our Kusari operations.

Ebisu - We see the potential of greater relations with the factions in Crete and in Rheinland. We wish that you keep pursuing these efforts, while keeping an ear open for opportunities in other areas. As usual, be wary of the Gas Miners and their temperamental ways. Move swiftly and without making waves.

Fisherman - Be at ease, Ebisu-dono. Smooth sailing is my specialty

Daikokuten - Remember the tasks at hand Fisherman, and take to heart the wellbeing of our people. Go with the Fortunes blessing, and may the heavens watch over your journeys.

Having received the indication that the meeting was over, the servant makes another deep bow in response, and rises from his spot. He leaves the room, and is escorted by the house attendants to the exit of the main gate.

He walks alone along the road to the nearest town. In the outskirts of the town stood a shrine to the god Ebisu, and near it was one of his men, puffing a cigar with a bored and annoyed look on his face.

The Fisherman approached the shrine, and the man stood up as soon as he noticed him.

Hiraku Shimoe - About time you finished that, I almost finished my packet, and didn't want to start the Holsteins waiting for you.

Fisherman - Hehe, gomen gomen. Our esteemed investors wanted to let out their hopes and frustrations on my ears. We should be okay for a few months.

Hiraku - I hope so. Every time we get some time on land, you get so slow. I have the transport over there.

Fisherman - Yes, very good. Let us depart back to the Yoshinogawa. No need to hurry.

Hiraku - Right, I'm want to go home fast, so I'm taking the fast route.

The two men boarded the shuttle, and departed the Tanegashima archipelago moments before the first light of Shikoku's Sun appeared on the horizon.
