While traveling to Yogo Shiro, the magistrates stopped for the night in the small town of Ajimachi where they were surprised to encounter that the son of the local lord was the man Ichiro Bando had dueled with during the siege of Shiro Usagi, Bayushi Isamu. He tensely provided them with the hospitality that was their due as samurai and Emerald Magistrates, but an attempt to engage in a friendly duel to resolve their previous encounter was rebuffed.
Ichiro Bando has since contacted him again, seeking to resolve the matter for good.
