Kaito nodded to Benjiro. He could tell that if the Emperor was actually treating something serious, then it was certainly a matter of importance. More demons, that would be quite bad if more of them were emerging. He could understand now why such urgency was put into this, although he was still unsure as to why he had to bring his family. Not sure what they apparently needed to learn. No matter, first there was the matter at hand, "Very well then, my Lord. I assume that if he is a demon, then we'll have to utilize our sacred blades to dispose of him. As for the monks, I am not sure what they have done, but I will do my best to locate them. Do you want to do the purge ourselves? Or would you prefer simply an update so you may decide on a new course of action?" He then looked to Sumire, a bit concerned, "And for my daughter, what will you be teaching her?"

Taltoro gave a nod back to Kondoru, "Indeed, it was a good hunt! Those bandits were bold, but they have learned the error of their ways. Dulfian's special horseshoes are recovered, and those disobedient peasants punished. An excellent outcome. Not sure why you went out of your way to accept this request however, do you simply want to prove yourself, Kondoru? If that is the case, then there is an upcoming occasion for you to do so." Making good pace, they once again were crossing into the rather barren areas around the Smith's City, with Viola in the distance.

“You are being sent to investigate and only execute him if you can confirm he has been infested by a demon. As for the monks, they cling to their ancient and outdated worship of nature and spirits. They do not worship me, or... the pantheon of gods. They are degenerates! But alas, I shall not ask men pure as yourselves to purge monks. However, I would ask you scout them out. And learn any information they may know about the Bushi. This is my command.” He then closed his eyes and let out a long exhale. Settling into his roost.

Kondoru nodded happily and pat his chest, “I had indeed done this to prove myself! I admit I’m eager to fight, it’s been a while since I’ve fought and gained victory. Not since my father and I fought together... long ago. And even with you, I wish to simply make up for any lapse in respect... and prove myself to you and our family.” He rode his horse, seeming a little upset now. But not completely lost! He perked up a bit and smiled again, “yes! A chance soon! Please enlighten me, uncle!”
