Run for it! Follow me!

You're all with the House of Mito, right?
:16:44
You're all with the House of Mito, right?
Yes, sir.

"2 koku:" enough rice to feed a family for a year.
A foot-soldier; 10-koku
and 3 retainers.
:16:53
An aide to the Commissioner of
Shrines; 3-ryo and 2 retainers.
:16:57
An aide to a District Commissioner;

I was hoping that at least one

...it's impossible to stumble upon
a truly sweet opportunity.
