"I'm sorry if what I asked was put too bluntly... I didn't mean to put you in an awkward position."

Ryuu made a grimace.

"Sometimes, I sometimes wonder what cosmic breeze blows into our sails, rocking us back and forth, defining our fate... It may be for the best that you're here now. You needn't worry about The Order here. I'm sure Oshiro-san will do everything in his power to protect you."

Ryuu smiled.

"And should you need something of me, simply ask."

[Alley]

"Don't worry Ryuu, I've been reading some websites on the neural net recently, and I've seen the opinion of a large amount of groups regarding the Order. I've seen the debates about it on the Kyoto Network, I understand their attitude to me, but I hope it will change, that they will realize... that I'm not like them. Well I hope I'm not like them. Anyway, Time to try this."

Lena took a sip of her sake, her eyes became widely open, and her mouth stuck, swallowing it a few seconds later.

"Woah. I'll have to get used to this. But it's not bad."

Lu Bu rushed into the bar, stopped and looked around. Upon seeing the order agent, he quickly moved towards her.

"I have discovered something that will involve the Order.. very greatly. You may be needed in the court room soon, along with many of us.. Once i tell the Shogunate of the news that i have found.. things will get very hectic. Especially for you Order gajins."

Lu Bu bowed to the few of his brothers in the bar, and left with haste.

[Alley]

Her expression became cold.

"I don't like the sound of this... at all."

Alley was right.

[Slartibartfast]

Ryuu blinked, slightly confused.

"What was that all about? You could try telling him that you don't have much more to do with the Order..."

[Alley]

"Exactly. If I have to speak to the taishogun, it's going to be my chance to tell it to everyone in one time."

Alley was right.

After they left, Teraku chuckled. He whispered to Lena.

"Lu Bu-san is a pupil of one of our current Shoguns, Horotami-san... I wonder if that kid knows his master has to visit the Court too..."

"Don't worry, Lena-chan, I'll join you if you want. I've been in Minor, as you perfectly know, so the Order issues may concern me too."

[Alley]

Lena nodded.

"Hmm... It's the shogun that was with us at the battle of Kyoto, right ? But yes, I'd like you to come with me, I don't know how I should speak to the taishogun, if I have to."
