"...Tell me what happened from the start." (Rei)

Rei should be able to understand the report from Hecate, but his head refused to understand it. Still, Rei tried to allow Hecate to report from the start and understand it.

Hecate stopped her frustrating manner of speaking and started reporting properly as instructed.

"Macbeth's hometown, the Shakes, has a mountain on the border with its neighbors and has escaped war until now. However, because of the situation in this Fire Nation, there have been occasional war jumps. But two months ago, protest emissaries were sent from a neighboring country. It makes sense. They demand food as compensation for doing nothing. Of course, I can't accept such a request. So when I returned the messenger... the messenger was attacked by a bandit and died." (Hecate)
