Page "fiction" Paragraph 670

Rector had no idea why Kayabashi wanted to visit the mission.

For the oyabun to make such a trip was either a sign of great weakness or an indication of equally great confidence, and from all the available information it was probably the latter.

Kayabashi must feel fairly certain of his victory in order to make a visit like this, a trip which could be so easily misinterpreted by the people in the village.

At the same time, it was unlikely that any businessmen would spend a day in a Christian mission out of mere curiosity.

No, Kayabashi was bringing his associates here for a specific purpose and Rector would not be able to fathom it until they arrived.
