video; un: TIGER-STRIPED, LOCKED TO SHUTEN CLAN
[ The shot is Toraguma's desk. His sunglasses are on, so his expression is difficult to read, but the way he puffs on his cigar... kind of suggests what's going on.
On the desk in front of him is the remains of some sort of device, likely recovered from the explosion. Jiro is there as well, obviously having done his best to piece it back together and identify what it was, but it seems a conclusion has been reached... ]
The fox... She's a clever bitch, as always. She thought she could throw me off by having a mechanical bomb instead of a mystic one...
[ Toraguma gestured to Jiro, who nervously stepped forward and set down what appeared to be a ruptured container of some kind. ]
"B-but, well... she works with what she has, and it seems they used a combustion relic to cause the actual ignition. But it was tampered with. The seal on it shortened the fuse time, so..."
[ Toraguma cut him off, leaning forward ]
The fox has a spy in her house. So for now... I'm gonna let her put out her own damn fires and get my payback on this later. I don't want any of you losing track of what's ahead of us.
[ Jiro visibly swallows, stepping back and ducking his head, because he knows what's coming next. ]
"Iron Bear" is Kaneguma... my kyoudai... That means no matter what money is on the line, no matter who that Ringo girl is, it's our responsibility as the Shuten Clan to go out there and stop him. No matter what, we take care of him first... I'll deal with the fox bitch after that.
Listen up!
We've got a primary vehicle, but anyone that can ride, you're with us. We head out in two weeks. You have that much time to get ready. If you need to stay behind... so be it. But we're taking this war to Kaneguma.
[ Toraguma leaned back in his chair, once more and just... let out a heavy sigh. ]
And I'll deal with him myself. No one else touches him. Got it?

Yes. Uehara-san's a reliable guy. And Sano Manjiro's [ Mikey ] post from the other day. I think people staying home will be in good hands, just...
[ What a week. ]

It will get worse before it gets better, Suizenji-san. That is the reality of war.

[She sighs, faintly.] Unfortunately...it was my husband and my sister who were concerned with tactics. Markets--for money, goods, or information--aren't what we need most right now. But with Iron Bear sending in spies and acting so openly...
[Tap. taptaptap. He can hear her nails on the table.] You know, I don't think he cares if he personally loses. Which makes me think his death won't be the end of this at all.

[ There's things he'd like to say -- what he feels about the ramifications of Toraguma killing his sworn brother -- but that's not something to say on this medium, with the boss directly on the line. He'll wait for when they're in person. ]
It's a reckless thing he's doing, isn't it? If he only wanted money, he could have only taken Miss Ringo and ransomed her father to his last yen. But in this declaration, he forces a response. If not from us, then from any faction who values peace of mind.

[She doesn't care about saying that openly. If Toraguma doesn't already know this, he is a fool, and she's got no reason to spare his feelings. The reality of the situation is what it is, and her loyalty extends as far as a contract, no further.]
Have you any combat experience, then, Suizenji-san?
