- Wha..What are you talking about chief.
- First the things I did in the meeting today
I am sorry about that.The circumstances were very dire and I was pretty distraught from all the things that happened.
- No that's okay chief but what did you say about the bandits..uhh I didn't understand it?
- I meant what I said.I want a meeting with the bandits.
- But why are you telling me this.
- Well I heard from some people that you have some connections with the bandits.
- WHAT!!WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CHIEF!..I mean how could I have connection with them.
- So you don't have any contacts?
- No what would I.
- Oh.Ok you can go.
- But before I go can you tell me why do you want to talk to the bandits.
- Well the thing is that the village is in a pretty dire situation.Even I don't think I would be able to handle that much trouble.
- But then what about the things you say said there.
- Well those were the things I needed to do for the bandits after all they have to have something of value in the village.So that they even want it right.
- If that's so then I seem to have a way.
- Really do you have contacts with them.
- No chief but I know a man who might have some connection.
- Well well I am very happy if you are able to invite them and the meeting goes well I will be very happy.
- Thank you chief I will try my best.
After saying his goodbye to Kyoshi Hiroshi left the office.As he was outside the office standing in the dark hallway thinking why Kyoshi would ask him to do something like this.
A tingling sensation came through his whole body.
- I don't have to worry about things like this they'll understand it on their own.When they meet him themselves.
Thinking about this he left the room.
In the office only a candle was illuminating the desk of the office.Kyoshi was sitting there with his closed eyes seem to be thinking of something.
Only a low sigh came out of his mouth seemingly the only source of sound in the empty office.As he stared at the panel.
Souls: 15

The next afternoon
A cloaked man man was going through the market that seemed to be more energetic the the previous years.
It was elder hiroshi.He could hear all kinds of praise about the new chief praise about his speech and the food he was providing to the citizens.
Without any stops he went straight into a seemingly empty store that was quite far from the village.
He sat in front of a skinny man that was combing his hair.The man without even looking at Hiroshi started talking.
- Why are you here now didn't I say only return to me with a good news.The previous news you gave me made the boss pretty angry.
- Well it's not my fault more than half of the members left.
- Yeah yeah whatever so what's the reason you came here today.
Hiroshi explained all the things he had talked with the chief.After hearing all things the man only laughed.
- HAHAHAH! You're homage seems to be not right in the head first he gives a speech criticizing us and now he wants to talk to us.
- Yeah even for him that is certainly quite weird.But maybe he is desperate.
- Well desperate he should be.Well let me see if my boss agrees to it.
- Thank you.
After saying that elder Hiroshi put a handful of ryo in the desk. When the bandit asked.
- What happened to you're hand.
- Oh. It's nothing it was just a itch that I was scratching.
After that both of them took their goodbyes.
In a cave far away from the village.The same man entered when two man stopped him on the entrance.
- Woah woah.Where you going say the password and the entrance fees.
The man only looked at the two and said.
- of course I will just let me ask the boss.
- Wait it's for the boss.
- yeah what did you think it was for you idiot.
- Come on man you know that I was jokin.
- Yeah I know I was also joking.
- Hahaha thanks.So what the thing.
- Ah nothing big just the little village head wants to meet boss
- Woah a village chief. Well good luck then.
After that the man entered the cane.Inside the cave was quite big.The people here were sleeping after all they were the main manpower who pillaged many village every night.
He got to the deepest part of the cave where there was a wooden door standing.He prepared himself before he knocked.
After a moment a hoarse voice came from behind the door.
- Come in.
As he entered he saw a man that was sitting on a bed.The man was bald and quite tall.More that six foot.
As the man only stared at him.He said
- Hello boss.
- What ?
Asked the boss with another hoarse voice that seemed as deep as an well.
- Do you know about the hatane village.
- No.
- The village that we couldn't pillage the previous time.
- Ah the village that you're trying to form some sort of ground in
- Yeah.
- What about
- well it's about the villages chief. He said he wants to meet you.
- Why ?
- The village elder that delivered me the message didn't say anything about it.
- sigh have you lost you're mind staying in that village. what if it's a trap...
After thinking about a few moments the boss said.
- You go and confront him about what he wants to talk about and also check if it's a trap. Only after that will I meet him.
Saying that he handed him a stone and asked him to leave.
But before leaving he gave the boss the money that Hiroshi gave him.
The boss then gave him a bit of the money.
- Thank you boss.
Saying that he leaves the room.
