Okay, now we're back at the castle. Okay, Shmoop, we've got some news for you: the castle gates are set up, and the lords of the Aizu are waiting to see who's guarding them. The lord of the castle tells us that he wants to see his daughter again, but he's not sure how to do it. He wants to know what's wrong with her, since she's been held captive for three days. He's also worried that she might be in danger if he takes her back, since her cap has been bitten off by a bear. He says he'll just take her back himself, and that's it. Then he tells us about the two remaining hori women, who are hiding among the crowd. He orders the Ashina to search for them, and he says that he will tie them up and bring them to the castle gate. The day has finally come, and Shmo has finally gotten his wish. He asks the lord if he can give him oyura, and if the lord won't let the women go, he'd stab them in the heart. Shmo says that if he doesn't release the women, he will "tear out their tongues" in front of everyone in the village.
