Job Overview: The Samsung clan, minor lords within the Kazeharu clan, were targeted by a strange woman for talks. Eight has gone to talk about how he can help the clan, in exchange for any amount of help. Eight offers beasts to the Kazeharu clan who who fewer numbers, to assist in the economical prosperity via harvesting their resources. This assistance of beast labor, leaves more clan members to stay at their fortifications. In exchange, the Samsung clan uses their religious connections to condemn the Morihana clan, dropping their religious support.

Well, Kogata and Morihana are now allied so can we use their religious connections to promote a stronger connection between the Kogata alliance instead?

Hyperion had negotiated with a portion of the clans in the alliance, and now it was time to deal with the Kazeharu. A clan he had a certain affinity since they were very well-known for their ability to create magic tools. Just like the Toh and the Morihana clans, they had the means to produce something extremely valuable. The alliance with those clans and Kogata would allow them to secure an advantageous position in the negotiations and possible outbreaks in the time to come. It was unfortunate that Hyperion was too busy to bring the Shikizui into the fold who had the greatest samurai to make use of all these advantages, remaining loyal to the Hinamoto. Hyperion's allegiance to the Kogata was thanks to their ambitions and their equally insidious methods.

Hyperion had to travel once more across Kina, having acquired a second flying carpet as he realized the usefulness of logistics when orchestrating nationwide negotiations. Hyperion had found out about a minor clan within the Kazeharu's domain that were mostly responsible for the harvesting of resources. While they were a very efficient clan, they still seemed to lack the labor to make the full use of their potential. Including their religious sects, it would be unlikely that such a clan would support the use of slave labor to extract those resources from their land. But Hyperion was still skilled as a tamer, and he could acquire many beasts to send to the Samsung clan, which would be able to make use of them to harvest the resources required to continue their manufacturing of magical items.

Hyperion would get an entire caravan of oxen through dealing and purchasing good quality beasts as well as the type of tools and equipment to convert their labor into meaningful work. After acquiring them, he would have to march them through the lands of Kazeharu, using his partners to make sure everything was kept on a tight schedule.

Manaka would lead the front. Confidently marching as the vanguard of the entire carvan. Hyperion on the other hand would be flying above the caravan from a height of 60 meters on his flying carpet so he could keep an eye on the entire stock of animals, while his secret slave, a magician would bring up the rear, using her magic to keep the animals in line and from getting too distracted or lost.

Finally arriving, Manaka was greeted by some strangers, and Hyperion would descend at max speed, getting to the front of the trail of ox, to establish the negotiations. Speaking to them, he was quick to get a meeting with the head of the Samsung clan, after explaining that this was a gift as part of their new relationship. They were quick to understand that this was an offering with little to lose on their end, in fact, if asked the Kazeharu clan would have easily accepted without the trade, but it had seemed as if Eight was looking to particular favoritism in the future, wanting to entrench himself within the Kina clans as to avoid the fate of a foreigner. The head of the clan would bow his head and thank him personally with a handshake as they left the delivery to be handled by the men of the Samsung clan.
