With a sly, almost knowing smirk, she nodded to his request of being addressed as simply Michirama. "Okay, Michirama. What can I do for you?"

When he more or less hinted at wanting to know her name, she shifted in her seat slightly, adjusting the lapels to her kimono. "Hoshiko Sagara, enchantee." And then she went quiet to listen to him speak. It seemed that he was here to look into things about Mamoru, and this caused her to quirk an eyebrow. Was....something amiss? "I see...."

She kept quiet until a question was finally prompted and she nodded once. "Yes, he was our accountant. He did our books for revenue and also made the calculations for capital expenditures, renovations as well as payroll. He always worked from Sunday to Thursday." Hoshiko gave pause to let him write down all that she said, waiting patiently and serenely just admired the view of the pond until he spoke up again. When he did speak up again and ask more questions, her gaze was back to him.

"Not that I know of, no. He is a very quiet man, the sort that only speaks when spoken to." His next question caused her to think a moment but slowly she shook her head. "I don't think so. He primarily stays in his office to work and rarely ever associated with my girls. But you may want to consult with my daughter. She knew him much better, but is currently away for a couple days." After that, Hoshiko seemed a bit pensive, really trying to pick her brain for more information. "Why, I didn't even know that he was missing. One day out of the blue he came to my office and resigned right then and there. Not long after, I learned that he had been the reason our revenue going down, because he had been extorting money through docking people's salaries. Because of that, I didn't pursue and I never saw him again and did not wish to."

Hoshiko remained calm during the whole conversation and seemed neither concerned nor bothered by how he spoke or of the things she divulged. So when he asked to look through his office, she rose from her seat. "Of course, this way," With that, she would lead him out of the little room, up the stairs, past the VIP rooms, up a second flight of stairs where another row of rooms were and lead him to a room at the very back.

Sliding the door open, Hoshiko stood back to let Akui go in first. The office was pretty spacious but was dominated by a large desk that was littered with documents, calculators, an abacus and a stack of photographs and blue prints. Most of Mamoru's possessions were gone now, but a few things still lingered like a framed family photo, a pair of shoes and a neatly pressed kimono hanging on the back of the door.
