Revision as of 07:38, 1 February 2014

Mutsu (陸奥 Mutsu) is the merchant fleet Kaientai's 2nd in Command, but is in fact the one running the company. This is because her 'natural idiot' leader Sakamoto Tatsuma is always disappearing.

Background

It was at this time that Mutsu also learned 'business' from him.

Sometime after Sakamoto was picked up, Mutsu's father died.The Chidori planned to kill Mutsu and the slaves to make the supervisor of Chidori their new President. Hearing this, Mutsu decided to use herself as bait and let the slaves, including Sakamoto escape. But in the end, she was saved by Sakamoto and the slaves.
