Synopsis

The chapter opens with a fierce battle where the protagonist struggles against an overwhelmingly strong enemy general, Ryosuke. Ryosuke's offbeat fighting style makes him difficult to read, causing problems for the hero. Provoked by insults, Ryosuke engages the hero, which buys time for others to escape. After a debate about strategy, a military push is ordered using a plan devised by Ghost-Nim, which includes a map of Tokyo and a promise to open the castle gates, aiming to quickly end the war despite the risks.
