Record of Recruitment

Utilizing a dark ritual, Katsusada Shishauezaemon returns Kamimusubi to unlife under his own control. Though the Kyonshī is mute, he learns much from her about the Chōsokabe Clan.

Aotsuki Tsukamoto is sent to meet with Tsukijō Hanahane and request his official support for the Hashinara Clan. Because of their previous dealings, and perhaps because of Aotsuki's own beauty, Hanahane is quick to agree.

One of the feral Nue guarding Takamatsu Castle finds itself cornered in battle and, in desperation, transforms its appearance to appear cute and harmless.  Rather than being slain, this Nue is adopted as a pet of sorts, and unofficially joins the Hashinara Clan.

Performing a dark, necromantic ritual, Katsusada Shishauezaemon resurrects Ichinomiya Karen as an undead creature with her memories of life but under his control.  It is his intent to use her as a bargaining chip against Ichinomiya Hachirō in dealings with his Ichinomiya Clan.

After taking some time following the death of her mother, Chōsokabe Motochika, Chōsokabe Nobuchika approaches Katsusada Shishauezaemon and the figurehead replacing Hashinara Yoshiyuki with a decision.  She remains concerned about the other rifts, two beyond what her mother created, that continue to plague the land.  Without any other family ties to hold her back, Nobuchika swears her sword to the Princess-Daimyō of the Hashinara and officially joins them as a general.

Fubuki teleports outside to meet Tsukijō Hanahane's nighttime visitor, who turns out to be a moth yōkai called Hagasaki Rinko.  The girl is enamored with treasures inside the Hanahane Manor, and wants the thing that's "like the sun" most of all.  Hanahane believes this to be an Alexandrian sun symbol forged by the brilliant prisoner-artificers of Mavrovlachia, so Fubuki uses some water to recreate the treasure.  Rinko isn't interested until a bit of oil in each point of the sun sets it alight as a lamp.  Still, she's most interested in a decorative French lamp inside.   Under some mild protests from Hanahane, Fubuki brings the moth in.  The guard is still occupied with what @Munechika describes as a "distraction".  Inside, Rinko goes straight for the lamp, but Hanahane's arm and Fubuki's hand around hers are able to stop her.  Making the sun facsimile more elaborate, Fubuki promises that she* can make one just like it if Rinko will go with her*.  Overjoyed, the moth girl agrees, and Hanahane seems relieved to have her out of the manor.
