Kiyoto was faced with a decision whether to still follow Yoshimune after knowing more about him or to part ways with him right now.
"We…"
After a bit of thinking, Kiyoto remembered the purpose of his journey, and thought to himself that they need him. But knowing Kiyoto, he has another motive, and that is to identify what kind of person the Sixth Herald truly is.
"We shall go with you…after all, Yoshimune-"
Kiyoto looks at him in the eyes, like he has something to say.
"-we both need to keep an eye on each other."
"..!!!"
"What does he mean?"
The Tokugawa, as well as Kojiro and Fudo are confused as to what Kiyoto means when he said those statements. However, it seems like Yoshimune understood what he meant. As a response, he closes his eyes and nods once. He then turns around and walks out of the open entrance where the guards are getting treated, expecting for Kiyoto and the two to catch up.
Kojiro turns around and bows towards them.
