Where to find it
After Azamo Bay is free, a worried man in the village calls you over. That is Hyoe.
Setup
Hyoe followed Haruo to a cemetery and saw him with bandits. He wants them all brought to justice.
Objectives
Follow Hyoe, then investigate the house by the cemetery. You find a recent fire, bloody bandages and a half-finished meal. Hide in the pampas grass and wait. When the group returns, trail them in secret, then confront them. Later you defend a homestead from Mongols and escort a group to Azamo Bay.
Tips
Stay in the tall grass while trailing the group. The stealth part ends when you choose to confront them.
