The Onryo group reaches the fortress via the usual route (this time, they manage to pass through where the path was blocked) and witness a heated argument.
— I am absolutely against it! — Sorachi Takahiro objects to his opponent, Kawade Kodji. — As long as I remain the commander of this fortress, it will not happen!
— It's easy to fix, old man. — A sharp blade of his dagger glints in the ninja's hand.
— Stop this immediately! — Tokita Rie intervenes. — Enough!
— Calm down, woman. — Kodji replies to Rie without even looking at her. — You may be the boss's wife, but in this matter, your voice carries no weight.
