Kyoko's pov

As soon as we heard that the traveler and Teppei had arrived I went out to the entrance of the shrine. well Kokami stayed back to discuss some matters with one of the generals. That kind of stuff isn't my forte so I just thought it be better for me to greet the traveler and Teppei.

Traveler hey welcome to watatsumi island. Teppei welcome back.

Teppei: hey kyoko glad to see you made it back all right.

Yep the trip wasn't too hard. anyway your appointment with Kokomi is soon. she's up back at the shrine I'll take you.

Hey Kokomi the traveler and Teppei are here!

Ookubo: Huh? Teppei? What are you doing back on watatsumi Island? might I ask who?

Teppei: haha! VIPs of her Excellency. That who. i'm acting under the orders too escort them both here.

Ookubo: oh really? Wait so you're of the new recruit everyone is talking about. * proceeds to list off a bunch of cool stuff but the traveler* (i'm sorry I got lazy) you've come a long way. I'm sure you're here on pressing business. so I wont disturb you any longer. feel free to visit me if you have any time to spare. Your accidentcy I'll take my leave.

Teppei: your excellency. I couldn't help but here Ookubo mention something about a ... third party supporter? What was that all about?

Yeah you never told me about any third party supporter kokomi what's the about.

Kokomi: not long ago. Someone wrote to me saying that they wish to help the Watatsumi Island's resistance efforts. To that end. They also furnished us with a great deal of supplies. Thanks to them, we can finally start recruiting troops on the scale we need to confront the Shoguns army on the front lines.

Traveler: sounds great.

I don't know sounds kind of suspicious to me.

Kokomi: I am not without my doubts. But watatsumi Island is hardly affluent, and the supplies are a much needed lifeline for us.
