The chapter starts with Hakuri waking up and getting a quick update from Kudo-Chihiro is still fighting Samura, and now it’s clear that Hishaku is after both the Shinuchi and the Sword Master. Despite his weakened condition, Hakuri agrees to help by teleporting the Shinuchi to safety, hiding it away in his subspace warehouse.

At the same time, a small Hishaku team, including the Shigyu brothers, breaks into Kamunabi headquarters. They’re allowed through with little resistance, but it’s a setup. They’re led straight into the “Threat Elimination Grounds,” where Azami is waiting. With a calm but brutal efficiency, Azami takes out both brothers, making it clear why he’s feared even among allies.

As the dust settles, Azami starts piecing things together. The attackers were clearly a distraction, and he suspects the real threat is the lone surviving Hishaku member. The chapter ends with him preparing to confront this figure, possibly leading to answers about Kunishige’s murder.
