"That's something to consider.If you had the same chart you showed at the Crab meeting, you might have us all convinced, Akemi-san," she nodded once at her direction and turned her attention to the boys.

"Yul-san, Koseki-san, what do you think?" she asked for a piece of their mind.

Hide looked between the two Crab, raising a brow questioningly. “Chart?”

But she did want to hear Yul’s and Koseki’s thoughts as well, so she turned her attention to them.

Koseki had listened to the exchange with interest but had also been keeping his eyes on their surroundings in case of any further trouble. "I still like the blow it up from orbit plan, but we can call that Plan B if you like?"

With a more serious expression he gestured to the Hida. "I like Akemi-san's plan. I don't think any of us are politically savvy enough to pull that off, but Yasuki-sama might well be. I trust your judgment on that. Seeing as it's the Crab's duty to root out crap like this it makes a lot of sense, and yeah, if we came back and got killed without passing the information on that would be seriously bad."

Yul nodded. "Yeah, that sounds good to me."

He nodded to Koseki, smiling. "Then we'll go with Koseki-san's plan. If it comes to that."

Sighing, Yul looked around, clearly relieved. "Okay, well... let us know how it goes, huh?" He nodded to both Eriko and Akemi.

"Seems like we've reached some kind of agreement?"

She turned to Eriko:

"I guess the both of us should meet with Nishida while the others remain cautiously anonymous? Maybe tomorrow just after the event? He should be in a good mood, especially if we do well."

Then at the others:

"And until then we keep a low profile?"

“Uhhh, yeah, about that last part...” Hide motioned towards the large bleeding wound on her chest. “How am I supposed to come back like this while keeping a low profile? Unless anyone here knows how to properly clean and dress a wound like this I’m at least gonna have to get it wrapped up by someone who does know how.”

"Uh... Sure, you need to see a doctor but... Maybe pretend it was an accident? While training for the wrestling try-it-yourself event? Something like that?"

"All right, I guess we have," she nodded at the conclusion everyone made. She clipped back her water canteen back on her belt and straightened. "Could you set up the meeting with him and I'll drop by, Akemi-san? You seem to know him better and after that time I ducked out early from that group meet, I don't know if he's all that hot on me. You know those Yasuki-types are so keen on their group efficiency meetings and such..."

"Or you could say one of those things in the wild got you while you're taking a stroll...I don't think they need to log ever wildlife situation and there's also a great hunt taking part too. I think they were hunting reaver or something? Anyway...our rides should be close by..." she gestured up ahead of a familiar slope of rocks.

Yul sighed, smiling. "Alright. Can't wait to get in the air again."

He hustled up the slope, eager to get back to his craft.

"Sadly, I think we need to reveal these creatures roam the Kiyonami and not the forest in general, or the Phoenix might just skip the ship entirely as they think it to be consecrated.

But yeah, let's get out of here first."

It seemed that Eriko's intuition did not lead them into a trap this time and they were taken back to where they made camp.
