Oboshi Rikiya attends the next morningÕs castle attendance session of MomoiÕs chief retainer Kakogawa Honzo as a messenger from Momoi. HonzoÕs daughter Konami is RikiyaÕs betrothed. Her mother TonaseÕs plotting allows a meeting between Konami and Rikiya. Then Wakasanosuke makes his intent to kill Moronao known to Honzo. Honzo understands his lordÕs determination and shows his agreement by striking a pine branch with his sword, growing all the more fervent.
