When Michirama questioned why she didn't report Mamoru to the police for extortion, she hunched her shoulders with a slight shake of her head. "If I'm being honest, I just couldn't...believe it. Mamoru has been our accountant for more than twelve years. He met his wife working here and he was one of the few people that stood by us when we were first building this place. His children and my daughter played together growing up and he's just such a stand up gentleman. How does one react when someone you thought you could trust and think of as extended family has been stealing from you this whole time? And according to my daughter, all the money that had been stolen was recovered and turned over to her." She now looked at Michirama with the first bit of emotion since they started conversing, now looking a touch distressed.

Shaking out of it though, she nodded once to his next question. "He seemed afraid, which at the time I had discounted as anxiety for quitting. I tried to speak with him and find out why he was leaving us, but he would only say that it was for the best."

In Mamoru's office, Michirama would have a buffet of little clues and tidbits that could have been both incriminating yet baffling. Hoshiko would observe him,  knowing that even though he was just standing there, he was doing much more, and she would say nothing. Most of the room was covered in Mamoru's misty minuscule violet blue chakra while another thicker, darker chakra of another color would be present in small patches at the desk. He would find a few slips of paper with calculations on them whereas most of the calculations were officially documented on Sagara letterhead parchment. If Michirama was fast and keen enough, he'd see that the calculations matched up with the deductions made with some of the staff's pay. That coupled with the fact he would find a small cellophane bag of fine grade opium as well as a mask that was stained with a bit of blood and melted opium, he would certainly find something.

Hoshiko was stoic through the entirety of his search and findings but when he turned and asked what a showgirl is, she smiled smugly and touched his shoulder. "Talk to my daughter."

With that, Hoshiko would see him out of the office and back down to the ground floor, answering whatever other questions he might have had before bidding him farewell and taking her leave.

At the Sakurada house, which had been a fairly large nice house, Mrs. Sakurada would answer the door and nearly jumped at seeing Michirama. "Come in, come in." She immediately let the boy in and lead him to the living room, motioning for him to sit as she took her own seat. "Were you able to find anything?"
