"Yes, some sort of evidence would be needed," Kasumi said.

"If there is any substance to such an awful rumor, then I'm sure you and the other magistrates would find it," Yuuma said.

"I hope so," Kasumi said. "How is business going?"

"Well, I've just secured a shipment of ore from the crab lands. It's of high quality, it shouldn't be hard to find a good buyer," Yuuma said.

"Good, I am glad things are going well," Kasumi said.

"How was your day?" Yuuma asked.

"Interesting. I am to be investigating sources of illegal opium," Kasumi said.

"A horrific trade," Yuuma said "Then I wish you luck in your investigation."

"It has certainly been a challenge," Kasumi said.

"If I can be of assistance then you have but to ask," Yuuma said.

"is it normal for those in business to write in code?" Kasumi asked.

Yuuma nods "I wouldn't say normal but we often develop short hand to allow us to write more with less for example, or if you have concerns that your competition will try to steal from you," he said.

"Ah, I found a paper on a suspect that might be that. It is in code and I need to get it translated," Kasumi said.

"I would be happy to take a look," Yuuma offered.

"Thank you, I'll go get it," Kasumi said, heading to her room and coming back with it.

Yuuma takes the ledger and begins to examine it "This may take me a little while," he said.

"That is fine," Kasumi said. "Thank you for you help."

Yuuma works through the ledger making the occasional note and speaking quietly to himself as he worked.

Kasumi sat there enjoying the tea.

It was sometime later that Yuuma seemed to finish, "I have something for you." he said as he slid the parchment he'd been working on towards Kasumi "This is a listing of goods sold, who they were sold to, and the price. The main good is Liquid Void."

"Ah! Then there is some evidence! Thank you," Kasumi said.

Yuuma smiled slightly "I am glad to be of assistance," he said.

Kasumi bowed politely.

"This will be most useful. I should head to the Legion base."

"Of course, I hope it proves useful to you," Yuuma said.

Kasumi bowed and hurried out of the house.
