Among the lords are Sōsō, Sonsaku, Enjutsu, Ryūbi (who was appointed as the leader of the Shoku Army) and Kōsonsan. The alliance is at the first gate of Shisui Fortress, the latter guarded by Ryofu Hōsen and her army. In the darkness, Chinkyū sneaks out to seek help at the Alliance camp by telling them Chōjō's plans and Tōtaku was used as a puppet while being held captive. The Alliance is not assured by Chinkyū's words despite the tears. Chōhi yells at them that the truth is being told because Chōhi's tears are sincere and if they believe otherwise they are not worthy of being a lord nor a strategist. Sonsoku giggles as she agrees with Chōhi and the Alliance finally believe Chinkyū. So the Alliance plans to rescue Tōtaku although they do not know her location.

Shūtai enters the imperial palace through the secret passage, that a message to that effect was sent to the Alliance but the secret passage collapses. Knowing Shūtai's situation, Kōmei comes up with a plan to reveal Tōtaku's location with the aid of Riten and her mechanical dolls. With everything set, once they give Shūtai's the message, they start the plan. The following day Chinkyū met up with Ryofu and shows them the Tōtaku doll, proclaiming that the one at Rakuyou (imperial palace) is a piglet used by magic and can be only reveal by a mirror. Chinkyū tells everyone that it was all Chōjō's plan in order to shift the blame at her. The guards were confuse until Ryofu orders them to let them pass. Soon Chōjō's heard about it and carries a mirror to Tōtaku's cell only to find out that the Alliance tricked Ryofu, not realizing that Shūtai follow her towards Tōtaku's cell. While taking a loo, Kaku was secretly inform by Shūtai about the plan as Kaku was happy she's safe. Soon Shūtai manages to knock out the guards and rescue Tōtaku. Once placing Tōtaku into Kaku's carriage, the alarm went off as they quickly run in their carriage. They manage to fend off the guards chasing her but as the gate close, a mysterious figure helps them open the gate. She jumps into the carriage to reveal Kayū, who's alive. Chōjō was enrage about it until Ukitsu shows up as he has no use for her and use magic to force her to drink a potion that turns her into a rat in an instant. | |||
