While ooc I agree on a position of Imperial Librarian, Lenichi has an obligation to advocate...that said, I coukd see a world where the og librarian is asako and that is up for grabs

"I would maintain minna-sama, that while I see the merit in your position, from the afore mentioned families the Asako are most well knowm for wctually sharing knowledge. On occasion." While trying to maintain a polite facade, Kenichi did not manage to stick to the landing... Ooc D9 court, etiquette...

Ikoma Jiro smiled at his father first and foremost, before stepping up. Ikoma Ryota was tired, but surely he would appreciate this speech. ...and thus, in displaying the virtues of Duty and Compassion, a responsible Lord must display grace and care for all their subjects, no matter their own feeling...

On d10, could I get a meeting woth Doji Noriko and Ikoma Ryota together at some point?

Kenichi wants to propose an Imperial Library system, with Asako management.

"We are quite hkad for such a friendly exchange. Amd personally, I am honored by the Lion's warm welcone."

Forced or unforced...

Concurring, 15 court points for Kenji

As an older student from the Dojo Of the Open Hand, Kenichi was quite understanding of the situation thebkids found themselves in. He quietly talked through the topics with one young girl, encouraging her to extoll the virtues of Bushido, especially from the leaders and rulers of clans and other pos...

Kenichi was present at court, with a heavy frownhidden behind his fan.

Such naked pettiness was unbecoming.

Kenocho frowned. "Otherwise you would throw away, and name someone lackluster Otomo-sama? I am willing to help, but this humble servant must not see the reasoning behind such a proposal." He withheld a sigh. "I am merely looking for the best option for the future of the Empure." Whether that is you ...

"I am willing to work for an Empire that doesn't burn down. I don't presune to know better than others. That was m ygrandoarents' Sin." A darkened scowl flashed over his face. "I would work for such a unity, under circumstances. One of them being, preferabky you having an heir lined up. Preferably n...

Did I just pick up a quest to find Keihime an heir?!

"Otomo-sama...have you actually asked them?"

Kenichi felt an intense need to massage his temple.

"I would be honored, but also....quite out of my depths. Are there none in your family or House you would like as a protege? What about one of the other contender's chikdren, to signal unity?"

Kenxigi let out a small laugh. "No, for everyone's sake, no Otomo-sama. I am a sacrirical son from a disgraced bloodline from a modest House. You can do better than me. The Empire needs better than me." He let out a sigh. "But my not so subtle question still stands Otomo-sama. I would feel better if...

"Hai, I agree. Still, in my education among the Ikoma, we were taught that great and honirable people should still be allowed their emotiins. If not expressed by themselves, then by others on their behalf." He fiddled with his fan. "It is certainly an awkward situation we find ourselves jn during th...

Kenicho bowed again deeply, and slowly opened the fan. "Thank you for your time Otomo-sama. First of all, my condolences on the loss. We as an Empire all suffered it, but you have been advisong the Empress for such a long time, it must be keenly felt."

...my bad! I swear it was the ither way around, ugh my bad!

Looking for Keihome specifically. Apologies!

Also, for the libraries, is it possible to get permission for 2 peolle to enter for one question, and doncollaborative research?

Kenichi slowly approwched the Chancellor's entourage, bowing lowly, waiting to be acknowledged or rejected.

Asako Kenichi stepped up, in support. "It is quite good to see such a close alliance between Greats and Minors, for a stronger Empire."
