"Of course, village elder," Nobunaga responded, with a nod, "The hunters will be apprehended. I already know where they might be, courtesy of a helpful bystander."

Perfect. Not only had the town turned against the Hunters' [i]purpose[/i], but Enli had behaved exactly as she had hoped. The Hunters' fate did not matter as long as it was one that condemned their actions. Execution or exile would have been her first choice, but showing them the error of their ways? It was hardly a poor decision either. Not only that, but this had all served to turn the townsfolk against the Illuminator. How else did one kill a god but by turning potential worshippers against them?

It could hardly have gone better.

Now all that was left was to see if there were any other leads on the remaining conspirators. Certainly, they knew where they likely were(the obelisk), but more information didn't hurt before they headed out. Thankfully, Novak had already taken care of that line of questioning.

She would not fail in completing her promise by the time they departed from this village. And so, she would have support even in lands apart from this world's analogue to Japan.

Seeds planted for the future.
