Exiting the portable hole Ivan hands a cinnamon roll to Koya before heading over to Hatsue .<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know we could use an extra pair of hands to help get everything ready for tomorrow\u201d whispers Ivan to Hatsue as Ivan hands her the last cinnamon roll and then proceeds to cast beacon (status) on Hatsue.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe right back\u201d says Ivan has he walks over and retrieves his quiver and bag of holding from Radella. Ivan is unclear if the response from Hatsue was an acknowledgement or if she was simply enjoying the cinnamon roll.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks\u201d Ivan says as Radella hands over the equipment. He can\u2019t tell if she suspects something or not. It\u2019s the same feeling that he gets each time and thus far she hasn\u2019t felt the need to interfere.<\/p>\n
Hatsue finishes up the cinnamon roll as they arrive at the doorway to the storage room. They only had to wait a few minutes before the door opened and Akiko, Honamiyo, Miiko, Tamae, Yoire, Naomi, and Remi enter the storage room.<\/p>\n
\u201cOk. As normal we will start with your treats\u201d says Ivan as he hands out a cinnamon roll to each of the women.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry I also picked up one so that you can give one to Jiro\u201d continues Ivan as he sets the cinnamon roll down on the shelf.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw Jiro heading back to his office so once you finish your treat you can go present your gift. Today I brought help so we will start getting everything ready while you talk with Jiro.\u201d Continues Ivan<\/p>\n
\u201cok\u201d replies Remi<\/p>\n
\u201cSo this time is a little different than the ones in the past. I know this is old hat for all of you but since we have someone new let\u2019s just review everything while you eat your cinnamon roll\u201d says Ivan<\/p>\n
\u201cFirstly everyone gets a ration of food which today is your containers filled up 6 times with dried beans. I know that I am repeating myself but this is each person and not each family.\u201d Says Ivan<\/p>\n
\u201cI still insist that pregnant women get an additional ration as they are eating for two and it is important for mother and baby to get plenty of food. Like before I leave the decision of determining which women are pregnant completely up to you. I am not qualified to figure out which women are pregnant and I am not about to start asking women if they are pregnant.\u201d continues Ivan<\/p>\n
Ivan pulls another bag out and sets it down \u201cWhat is new this time is that we are also going to give everyone in the fort 3 pieces of these sweets, including Jiro and his people. These are tough times and everyone deserves something a little special. You can of course give the children an extra piece of candy\u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the past I have asked you to not share where this food is coming from to anyone. Except I did tell you to always tell the truth to Hatsue, Jiro, and Amieko. It was important to me to let my companions discover their own path. You can now honestly tell people that this food is provided by those that follow the heir.\u00a0 If you are question by my companions you are free to tell them the truth\u201d says Ivan<\/p>\n
Ivan motions towards the door \u201cOk now go talk to Jiro while he is still in if office\u201d<\/p>\n
Hatsue describes in details the ideas behind the end game Tsume shogi as the two of them get the food ready for distribution in the morning. Just as they were finishing up the preparations \u00a0the door opens and the women re-enter the storage room.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you still talking about the game?\u201d says Akiko<\/p>\n
\u201cYep, maybe someday I will get far enough into a game with Hatsue to try one of these strategies. Anyway perfect timing as we are done.\u201d replies Ivan<\/p>\n
As Ivan and Hatsue leave the store room Ivan says \u201chow about you show me one of those moves on the board before we play an actual game\u201d<\/p>\n
