[It's all the principle of things. Good mercenaries don't come cheap, after all. But when she notices Motochika's nervous fidgeting, she focuses on his words, especially when he emphasizes that he's only a Motochika, here. Such a story would be difficult to believe if she hadn't experienced so many improbable things already. Still, the idea of there not only being another Motochika but him keeping company with an Akechi, presumably Mitsuhide since he's the one they're both most familiar with, is completely unnerving. Mitsuhide alone is troublesome enough.]

I see.

[It's hard to think of more to say than that, but there are other things that she needs to know, in case a bullet to the brain isn't the only way to handle a Mitsuhide Akechi.]

How should I regard them, then? I can't imagine we'll be able to ignore them entirely if this Chousokabe shares your name.
