In a tense discussion, Hiyuki Kagari justified her collaboration with Chihiro Rokuhira with her Kamunabi partner, Tafuku Mihara, despite their ongoing conflict. Their shared goal became clear–to stop the Rakazaichi auction once and for all.

The focus then shifted to the heart of the action, where Chihiro and Hiyuki unleashed their powers–Chihiro with his enchanted blade and Hiyuki with the Flame Bone–to overpower Kyora Sazanami, the head of the Sazanami Clan.

As the battle intensified, Kyora, nearing exhaustion, lost control of the Storehouse, a dimensional space that housed the auction’s treasures.

In a desperate gamble, Kyora attempted to wield the legendary Shinuchi blade, but this backfired, causing the entire auction ground and the Storehouse to crumble.

Faced with a dire choice, Chihiro and the remaining Kamunabi decided to eliminate Kyora and sacrifice the individuals trapped within the collapsing Storehouse. The chapter concluded with a cliffhanger as Chihiro vowed to save everyone.
