Denka/Emiko had met her as she had went request her to make ritual to block invasions to the castle middle of shindo, highly contested tactical location. She had agreed in return for one southern island nephalim temples handed over to Krai Folk in return for every year request any ritual from given shrine. But also in addition to call for this meeting for following year? Denka/Emiko had agreed and ritual was done and now Takeda in person meets with Krai Folk renown ritualist, which he has told is strange and also marked by the spirits of Krai Folk, nature spirits.<br/><br/>Takeda was on firm stance not trust or depend much on spirit realm or gods, but so far rituals were involved in blood river valley incident and the same ritual powers now create impenetrable blizzard storms in the region which he wanted blocked off from invasions for time. So his eyes have to open up for the spiritual realm as well if he little understands their ways, he was man of steel, iron, battle and politics. Not man of mysteries and he often than not breaks customs and expectations what people expect daimyo to be or behave.<br/><br/>He is sitting on his private lounge having tea, having removed lower half of his mask so his mouth could be seen as he sips tea and waits for Miho Nanami make her appearance. She had arrived to castle day before, but he had not met her in person as it had been late and she had been given room and board, food and bath if needed by Denka/Emiko, acting as good hostess for important visitor.
