The Red, Forename─they have fallen upon one of our caravans!
By the grace of the kami, we were able to protect the goods, but the Red brigands remain at large. I need you to join us in hunting them down.
Once you have found and given them a trouncing, smear this all over them. Golden aspic, it is called, and it is made by─actually, 'tis best that you do not know. The point is it smells foul, and will serve to teach the offending Reds a lesson.
Even as we speak, one of our sisters is scouring the Isle of Bekko for them. Seek her out first, and she will tell you more.
