While Obo-san and Aiko contemplate delivering themselves into the hands of their enemies, Wulf and former sumo wrestler Yama have journeyed to the north in order to recruit soldiers for the coming rebellion. Their reception, however, has been less than what they had hoped as they face execution unless Yama can defeat a demon of the forest.
