Back in Kokei, Youko finds out that there have been strange men lurking around the area. Convinced that they are spying on her, she isn't very worried. Youko decides to leave town for awhile and informs Enho that she is leaving, figuring that whoever these mysterious men are, will follow her out. Suzu runs into Sekki again in town and goes back to their inn to spend the night. She goes to try and kill Shoukou but is stopped by Koshou and Sekki. They decide to let Suzu in on their group.

Elsewhere, Shoukou gives Asano a special pass that will grant him access anywhere. They then go together to a meeting with Gaou, a political figure that keeps Shoukou safe. They decide to send Asano on a mission to find out Queen Kei. Elsewhere, Shoukei is witnissing a public execution on a man for breaking the law. Enraged that such a thing is being allowed she throws a rock a guard. They spread out to find her. Youko appears and gets her to safety. Shoukou sends Asano and some guards to capture Shoukei.
