In this chapter, we learn that Hiromasa is still alive, and that he's joined forces with Yonebayashi and the others. He's still wearing the weird bird head he wore earlier, but now he looks like a solid-armored man. He also tells us that he has a big brother, who is called Akane Akitsu, and he is accompanying her to meet Hiro. He tells us he has some secret arts that he wants to share, but he doesn't want to reveal them yet. He wonders why Akane is here to see him, and wonders if there's some other reason for her to come.
