In this short scene, we learn that the protagonist is named "Miyochu" and that he is a member of the Minyu family. He is very happy to be alive, and he wishes everyone could drink to his heart's content. He tells his sister that he will always help her block the poison in her cup of wine. He also tells her that he only drugged her with laxatives, and nobody would die. He then tells her to follow him to the emperor's palace, where he will ask for justice. He says that he knows that his brother would help him block the drink, so he conspired with his sister to tempt her brother to drink poison in the cup. He adds that if he were miyochu, he would never buy drugs from an enemy, and this would leave a trail that was unnecessary.
