Rather, because the Shogun stopped Orobaxi when it attacked civilization, they must now take a stand against the shogun who has turned against the people with the Vision Hunt Decree. However, he also explains that the animosity between Watatsumi Island and the Shogunate is not the reason why the resistance was formed. Furthermore, Teppei also mentions a rumor that the Shogun also lost something dear to her during the Archon War. He believes it may be due to the Tatarigami being more present due to the close proximity to the remains of Orobaxi, the guardian deity of the Watatsumi ancestors who was slain by the Raiden Shogun after it invaded Yashiori Island. Paimon asks him if he thinks there's something strange about the area, to which he agrees and says there's something off about it. He excuses his state as probably just a cold he caught at sea, and explains that he was returning from delivering supplies to the front line and stopped by the area to check out for threats. Paimon wonders about its appearance and the 'creepy atmosphere', but before she can urge the Traveler to go back, a slightly worse for wear and coughing Teppei arrives. Upon activating the monuments, a Thunderhelm Lawachurl ambushes them but is easily slain by the Traveler. The Traveler and Paimon arrive at Fort Mumei and find some suspicious Electro Monuments.
The Traveler and Paimon then go off to complete their own assignment. As the two share some small talk, a member of Herring I calls him over for their new mission. He is excited to see them doing well and also reveals that due to his participation in the naval battle, he has now been appointed captain of the newly formed Herring I unit. The Traveler trains with their unit and meets Teppei a few days later. The Traveler then asks where Teppei went, and she tells them that she sent him on a naval battle against the Shogun's Navy per his wishes to fight on the front lines.
She tasks them with investigating what is going on there, but allows them to take a few days' respite. The ruins of Fort Mumei during the Archon Wars have been used as a supply transit between Watatsumi and Tatarasuna, but recently, supplies have gone missing and there were no reports of danger in the area. Kokomi thanks them for their efforts and gives them a new assignment. With the island now secure, the Traveler returns to Kokomi for further instruction. At the area, there are three camps, and the group separates to clear them all out at once before they could scatter and regroup. Yoshihisa states that there is a stronghold on the eastern side of the island, and Paimon encourages the Traveler to clear them out so they can't hamper the war efforts. Koutoku cedes position of captain to the Traveler, who then asks them if there are any other ronin to deal with. After clearing the ronin, they introduce themselves as Koutoku and Yoshihisa. They are skeptical of their prowess, so they have them take out a group of ronin nearby, as they don't have time for a duel. They find two members, who inspect the letter. As Teppei asks what he could do, Kokomi promises to find something for him. Kokomi hands them an appointment letter so they could get their squad's trust, while explaining that some ronin have been causing trouble for the rearguard and need to be exterminated.
Seeing the Traveler's potential, she also promotes them to captain of the Swordfish II spec ops group, much to Teppei's bewilderment. While suspicious of their true motives, she nonetheless chose to ally with them for the badly needed supplies. Teppei then asks Kokomi what she meant about the expanding army, and she tells the two that a short while ago, someone sent her a letter promising her men and supplies as long as they continued their fight against the Shogunate. As the two walk in, Daisuke is surprised to see Teppei, and even moreso when he recognizes the Traveler as the new recruit everyone is talking about. The two head there and find Kokomi talking with Ookubo Daisuke, the former telling the latter to keep food supplies steady and that the army is expanding. Arriving at Bourou Village, Teppei suddenly remembers about the appointment as he puts himself at ease. Meeting up with Teppei, he tells the Traveler that their appointment with Sangonomiya Kokomi is coming and sails them to Watatsumi Island.
