Konnichiwa, Nakata-San:


My name is Ishikawa Kazuki, and in this transmission I want to put my person in full service to your noble cause, with the hope that it can also be mine.

I understand that you first need something like an explanation of my reasons for wanting to join the Artisan Farmers Alliance, so I'll start with it without need to ask me.

I was born in Kyushu, in a poor but honorable family. My parents were farmers, growing rice in his small plantation. Honest people, respectful of the traditions and the Emperor (His Sacred Magnificence never be extinguished). They taught me the virtue of hard work from sunrise to sunset, and the happiness of a good harvest when you know your job is well done. They taught me to survive with what you have, and not want more than necessary for a life with dignity.
But soon I wanted to go further and defend the emperor by force of arms, and when they came of age, I joined the Kusari Naval Forces.

I will not speak of battles, or my military experience there. I will only say that after a few years of honorable service, I realized that nothing was what I thought it was. Our culture, our nation, is invaded by foreigners who sell their products to our people, and get rich at our expense. Our government is not ruled by the Great Emperor, because has been taken over by commercial enterprises that strangles small local producers.
And what hurts me most, my Navy, the Navy for which I have given 8 years of my life and 2 fingers of one hand, openly works for these damned companies.

I could not continue enduring that treason, so after 8 years of active service, and with the rank of Kaigun Chüi, I submitted my resignation and went back to my parents'€™ house in Kyushu, only to find that they were dying of cancer, victims of this poisoned Synth Paste who are forced to eat.
My father died in a year, and my mother two weeks ago, so now nothing ties me to anyone, no one needs my attention. The mourning period has passed, and I have decided that it's time to do something once.

You see, Nakata-san, I have more than enough reasons for wanting to join the A.F.A. So, I beg you to do me the honor of accepting my request, and you'll have my eternal gratitude.
In return, I can give you everything I have: A Wasapu very heavy fighter and a loyal man piloting it.


Waiting for your response, sincerely yours:

Ishikawa Kazuki
