Episode Title:
Boys, Lamenting in the Rain.
Episode Description:
It has been a week since Tenka's execution and it rains throughout the day, much to Soramaru's frustration. An outraged Iwakura, wishing that the Orochi's vessel was captured instead of executed, tells Sōsei to have the Yamainu Squad keep an eye on Soramaru and Chūtarō for the time being. During a training session, Sōsei tells Soramaru to look outward and stand proud in order to become stronger. However, Soramaru returns home, telling Chūtarō in front of Shirasu that Tenka bore the murder of their parents. Soramaru later finds Nishiki badly wounded in the woods and takes her into the shrine to recover. When she wakes up, Shirasu wants nothing to do with her request of restoring the Fuma clan. Kitamura and Tsuchiya arrive, informing Soramaru that a transport has gone loose in the woods. Nishiki offers her services, explaining that her appearance is due to not completing her coming-of-age ceremony. While Soramaru says that everyone is alike, he encounters and defeats the transport. Soramaru carries Nishiki back to the shrine, promising her room and board in exchange. The following sunny day, Soramaru has another training session with Sōsei, which encourages Soramaru to be the head of the Kumō family someday.
