Chapter 8

Ryuutarou tries to talk with Azumi to understand what their motivations are, but Narita concludes that they're just brainwashed children and challenges Azumi.

Azumi wins the duel by stabbing Narita in the heart with the shortblade side of her sword. Before running off she once again urges Ryuutarou to leave the group marching for Fushimi.
