Yoko leaves the safe house because the forces there are returining to the castle now that it is under attack.  With Yoko's help and the help of Keiki's youma the rebels are able to get into the castle.  Yoko confronts Shoukou and winds up capturing him - even though most of the men with them want him dead.  The provincial army arrives and the rebel forces become trapped in the castle, especially since the villagers did not take up arms as they'd hoped.  Asano is set free by Suzu and he attempts to redeem himself by travelling to Meikaku and asking for aid.  He is stopped on the way by members of the provincial army and killed.  However, an air troop arrives at the castle and helps to fight off the advanced air troops attacking the castle.  Shoukei and the group she's with have arrived with reinforcements.
