Konishiwa honourable Captain Battousai san,
I was pleased to see your mail in my box!
It is great news and the people who wants to travel will be very happy about it!
They happen to be 5 so that would resolve the problem about the crew I guess.
About Daimyo's relationship with the others I checked and everything seems to be fine.
It probably would be better if you contact directly Uchi and the city of Iwakuni in particular to make sure they will let you bring those people and as well if they have some other persons to help you come back.
The list of passengers is: "Aichiro_hokusai, Malloan, Tovan. Yakina and Sasori , Kooki no Sakura"
I don't know yet when they will arrive as for now they are still in Gifu but I shall tell you as soon as I know the information.
Arigato and happy to have started communicating with you Captain!
Come at the Sô's Izakaya "Au Nippon Gourmand" when you see me there and it'll be a pleasure to share a few sakes with you!
Warm regards,
Zakekawa, Shômin of Kiyosu
