Story Synopsis

Lord Sakana-No-Ashiyubi's procession winds along a busy mountain road, until Jei denies them passage.

Meanwhile, Gen the bounty hunter, finds some dead brigands and seeks to claim their bounty, but is arrested for deceiving the police. The police and Gen pass Inazuma on the trail, and come to an inn where the brigands' leader is caught looting the dead innkeeper's cashbox, and is arrested for his murder.

Usagi is caught in an earthquake as he walks along the shore of Shimonoseki Strait where the Battle of Dan-No-Ura had taken place, and helps rescue a fisher's son in a nearby village.

Lord Noriyuki and Tomoe, as well as the Conspiracy of Eight, are faced with an unexpected change in the political climate, one that Lord Kotetsu, leader of the Conspiracy, seeks to use to his advantage to restore the Emperor, even as he enlists the witch Ryoko to find the lost Grasscutter.
