Namika took her time examining the proof that the Bayushi brought without saying a word. If there was any hope of fooling her with forged papers, they would have been crushed. But they weren't fake. Finally she nodded. "Very well then, Once the traitor is dealt with, I will recommend that Doji-sama ...

Hikimasu regained himself mostly and returned the bow. "Utaku-san, we only did what we could." Then he looked at the Kuni and Kitsu.
