Part 39 of 66 in Tales of Tsushima
Go to Umugi Cove in Act 2 and you hear a mother calling for her daughter. Talk to her to begin.
A woman in Umugi Cove is calling for her daughter, gone for days. Jin suspects the girl is dead, but the mother's hope reminds him of his own mother, so he takes the job.
Ask around the cove about Kuma, speak to the ronin at the dojo and follow him. A friend of Kuma's says she left with a man who promised her work at the Nukamaka Inn. Find the inn, fight the bandits there and locate Kuma upstairs, then lead her to safety.
The bandits had been using Kuma to wave down travelers so they could rob them. Outside, Sanetoki holds her mother hostage and challenges you to a duel. You kill him, and mother and daughter are reunited.
Sanetoki's duel is not replayable straight away. Kuma or her mother has to make it back to their home in Umugi Cove. You can walk with them, which takes about 20 minutes, or leave and they reappear on the road near the front entrance later. Animals and random fights can kill them with no warning. If they die, restart from the last checkpoint to respawn them by the inn.
