The Fisherman rises from his seat upon hearing the door opening. To his surprise, he finds that it is Haruna that has arrived, along with the other person. He gives a bow to group in response to their greetings.
"Koreha, koreha, if it isn't Haruna-chan. It has been a long while since I've heard of you. I hope everything has been well during that period."
The Fisherman takes a mental note about the name Takao, reminding him of affairs somewhere else. The coincidences are too great, but if true, it means "they" are getting closer into our Association. The concerns of the stability and autonomy of the organization worried him, but he decided to play along for the time being.
"A pleasure to make acquaintance of your nee-san. I'm glad you could find someone who looks capable. Many rare talents can be found out there in Kusari. You just need to use them well, Haruna-san."
As Haruna took her seat, and the old man was thinking about returning to his tea, another guest arrived to the conference room. This one he new better, and greeted her after her presentation.
"Yokoso, Lady of the Silvereye Dragons. May I say it is no flattery or lie to say that is a pleasure to be in your presence again. I thank you once again for the support you have given us in recent weeks."
As the guests and their entourage arrived, the room became more lively with chatter. It appeared that very few people had yet to arrive, and that the meeting would start soon.
The Fisherman returned to his seat made a signal to one of his men, and a man in a suite sporting a Blue Jillie approached him, leaning over to receive his instructions.
"Hebishima, head over to the hangar and see if Shimoe has finished the unloading, then bring him here with you. Also, bring me the documents I brought. The meeting might start soon."
"Hai, Senchou."Hebishima replied, making way outside of the conference room, while the Fisherman returned to his tea.
