A peaceful day, it would seem. Mmm. I have been thinking a lot lately... I wonder what the future holds here? Outside of Megumi-san, I have no real plans. Some say it is useless to make any in a place like this, but...

My Lord... might I have a word with you?

Is something the matter, Mitsuhide?

...a samurai is nothing without a Lord. I am uncomfortable without having one to address as such, and have become rather disillusioned with the police force. They are inefficient, they seem to do very little in keeping the peace in this City.

...I make a rather good income from my side business. I am offering a percentage to you, if you wish to take it.

In other words, you are offering me your service?

Knowing your criteria of choosing whom to serve, I suppose I should be flattered. Where is this decision coming from?

[Private to Cao Pi; Unhackable]

That is true, my Lord, if you would take it.

As I said, I am a samurai. I need a Lord, and there is no Nobunaga here. Furthermore, the warden system and police force here amount to nothing. They achieve so little, and assisting them has done little. You have many qualities that remind me of my Lord Nobunaga. Very much so. He always admired the kingdom of Wei from the histories himself, as did I.

I... I believe that you could achieve something here, Lord. That is what I think.

Not everybody may consider this comparison a compliment, Mitsuhide... But from you, I do.

If the decision is serious for you, and if you thought about what it will mean, I shall accept. I have no reason to reject capable officers.

It is the greatest compliment this man can offer, my Lord.

I have thought long and hard. This is the right decision for me, a serious one. So, I am now then at your command, Lord Cao Pi.

You will soon learn that I have little use for compliments.

But if that is your will, I will not stop you. Wei welcomes you as one of us, Akechi Mitsuhide, if you are willing to pledge loyalty to me. My honour is your honour from today onwards.
