Chapter 119

Such a man was to be a friend and to maintain good relations as soon as such an opportunity presented itself. Like now, for example.

- What brings you to me, Akira-dono? - The official asked, sitting his guest on a comfortable chair in the corner of the office with another one for such occasions, and sitting down next to him.

- I decided to buy a piece of land for my own personal possession," the visitor said with a slight smile, "and who better to turn to than the honorable Akayo-dono?

- My young friend, you are completely right, no one else can help you faster and easier! - exclaimed the head of the land office at the court of the Daimyo of the Fire Country. - Correct me if I'm wrong, Akira-dono, but a land grant is not the main goal, but only a means to enter the list of land feudal lords of our country?

Nobility can be obtained as it is, with good connections and a very large amount of money, but the one mentioned above already required possessions with a valid noble status.

- I admire your insight, Akayo-dono," the iryonin bowed his head, 'that is my goal, so I hope for your help, and also please accept this small friendly gift,' he jerked his hand and placed the colored card that appeared between his fingers on the coffee table near the chair.

Accepting the offering, the official ran his gaze over the red and gold colored rectangle, feeling his lips involuntarily begin to curve in a smile of anticipation - it turned out to be a monthly subscription to the Scarlet Lodge, with no restrictions on services. Tucking the card contentedly into an inner pocket, Toori nodded.

- What kind of territory do you have in mind, my young friend? A small allotment, something larger with villages? Close to the capital or another major center, or on the outskirts? - The official threw qualifying questions at the guest. - There is a lot of land available at the Land Office for every taste, it all depends solely on the amount of money you have at your disposal.
