Ryuu picked up the book and opened it. The very first thing he noticed was the use of a cipher to encode the content of a part of the book. He had read of people who made such intricate codes and ciphers that they could be considered to be their own language. Thankfully, Ryuu could make some semblance of her writing. It looked like she recorded each transaction twice for some reason, but he could not understand why. However, all the other information was spotless and organized. The ledger began with a summary of Ryuu's holdings and then progressed to show some of the valuations of the entries. The most curious part was her repeating some of the transactions.

Ryuunosuke couldn't help but smile. He then said out loud "Meticulous, the numbers and the details about each transaction. Your ledger leaves nothing to the imagination. However, I find it interesting. That at some point you seem to record two entries per transaction. There must be something you are trying to do. I doubt that you are just recording things twice for the sake of spending time. Still, there appears to be much more complexities that I cannot determine yet because of your special writing system. I must say. Who or how did you learn of this system of creating two entries? I can see that you truly are quite an expert at what you do, and it makes me curious. I have seen older ledgers from past years that were created by Tenzen-san, but he did not have a system like this. Thus, I have to wonder. As the apprentice of Tenzen, how did you learn this?" This woman in front of him was without a doubt someone whose mind was attuned to the world of commerce and numbers. However, why would the branch family decide to send this woman to him when she obviously is an invaluable asset to their finances? Ryuunosuke was wary. The branch family in recent years have been consolidating their power, so the fact that Hana had came from the capital... Ryuu couldn't help but suspect some sort of trap or plan. He wanted to find out exactly why this woman had decided to come here when her skills could easily find her a nice position in any city or under any lord.

Ryuu then added "Excuse me for asking so many questions, but may I also ask. Did you come here willingly, or do you come purely on the basis of Tenzen-san's order?"
