Assignment Event: Messenger of Ezo

Senpai, there's a merchant from Ezo on her way here to see you.

？！

Ezo, huh. Back when we were alive, it was so far away we didn't know anything about it.

My lord, come quick! Lord Nagayoshi is fighting a merchant from Ezo on the castle bridge as we speak!

What!? But I only asked him to go out and greet her!

Crap! Did you say a bridge!? Okay, we don't have much time, so long story short: bridges and Katsuzou always end in bloodshed!

Bloodshed!? Why!?

It all goes back to the time he cut down a bridge sentry just for giving him a warning. A real sad story, that one.

That's not sad, it's horrifying!

Come on, Senpai! I'm even more worried about the merchant now!

Senpai, look! Over there!

I hope this merchant from Ezo is still alive. I was really looking forward to trying some of that salmon...

Hahahahaha! Guess you samurai from Ezo really know your stuff!

Huh!? Katsuzou's the one who's all beat to hell?

What's your problem!? I was just trying to cross this bridge, and you go and attack me out of nowhere!?

Shirou! Berserker! Get him!

Graaaaaah!

!!!

Is that...Sitonai!? C-come on, Senpai, we'd better stop them!

I told you, I was just trying to cross this bridge when this big oaf attacked me out of nowhere!

And I thought she deserved to be taken down a leguh, peg or two when she didn't get off her high horseuh, bear, even knowing I was here on Master's behalf!

So what you're saying is that she did nothing wrong. Shoulda known Oni Musashi might pull a stunt like this.

A-anyway, I'm so sorry for the trouble, Sitonai. We had no idea you were here.

It's been kind of a nightmare, let me tell you. First I wake up in Hokkaido this morning, then I realize my family name is now Kakizaki for some reason...

And that's not even getting into how hard it was just to make the trip here to Echigo!

I don't know what I would have done if Shirou and Berserker hadn't been here with me...

Well, now that you've reached the Chaldea clan's territory, you're welcome to stay and recuperate for as long as you like.

Although, I'm curious: Why did you come to Echigo in the first place?

Oh, that's because I found a mysterious map back in Hokkaido...

...that said there's a vast amount of gold sleeping on an island not too far from here.

I thought that gold might have something to do with how I ended up here, so I came to see for myself.

You sayin' thar's gold in them thar Echigos!?

I'm Kakizaki Sitonai, an envoy of Ezo. I'll be sticking around to help out for a while.

And these are my companions, Heracles and Shirou.

Huh? Salmon? Well, um, I have this wood carving of a bear catching one...

Kakizaki Sitonai pledged her loyalty to you. (You can now choose her as an NPC.)
