Kanami and Hiyori are taken in and given a place to stay by a former Minoseki Toji named Onda Rui. The girls are able to slow down and consider their next move. They realize their enemy might be a much greater force than they thought and just as things look bleak, Rui introduces the girls to someone else willing to help them in their struggle.

C’est une lettre de la part de Mai,

Эту записку мне отдала Май,
вряд ли это западня.
