My family is always willing to help out useful enterprises. It never hurts to have a variety of interests to bring in money, my father says.

[A little smile.]

And it's something I think is worth doing. If you're able to get a few more backers and the project gets more serious, I'm willing to put my family's word behind it.

My name is Yakumo Tsukamoto, by the way.

[The Tsukamoto family, if he's familiar, is a small-ish, but reasonably wealthy noble family that mostly works at managing restaurants and shops.]
