The Twelve Kingdoms: Youko is in her room thinking about what she heard Enho say when all of the sudden Auzura's voice echoes the room telling her that Keiki was in on her assanination the whole time. Back in Ryuu, Rakushun and Shoukei get set free after bribing the council with the jewels she took. They set off together in search of Youko. In Wa, Asano, Sheishuu and Suzu arrive and attempt to find a doctor to help Sheishuu's eyes. In Riyou, Rakushun and Shoukei stay at a inn for the night. That night Rakushun tells her how she had a responsibility to try to stop her father's evil ways. She breaks down and cries. The next day they take a wagon and continue their journey. In Kei, Suzu and the rest are taking a wagon aswell when all of the sudden they get attacked by bandits. A group of travelers save them and tell them they are gathering allies for their cause and leave. As they continue on, Seishuu tells Suzu how he hates people who cry for nothing. They come to an understanding and share a heart warming moment. In Kokei, Youko investigates a tavern. She meets a man named Koshou, and the boy from the other day called Seki. Thinking shes up to no good, they send her away. That night Suzu and the rest arrive in the same town Youko is in. Suzu leaves Asano with Seishuu while she goes to find a inn for them. Asano asks Seishuu if he hates him, but Seishuu doesn't understand Asano's lanquage. Asano has another flash back to the day he fell off the cliff and runs away. Worried about him, Seishuu goes walking in the market blind. A carriage comes and warns him to move but he trips and falls, the carriage procedes and runs him over. At that time Asano and Youko both see this happen at different locations. While Youko goes to help Seishuu, Asano jumps in the carriage and points his gun at the man. He says his names Shoukou and he dares Asano to try to kill him. Seishuu tells Youko to tell Suzu not to cry.. as he dies in her arms. Suzu comes up and sees whats happened and begins to cry.
