Yukari, Kagari, and Minato proceeded to carry out a secret technique to suppress Princess Tagitsu, and it was apparently defeated, though Kagari and Minato were heavily injured.

The disaster at Sagami Bay was caused by humans foolishly collecting too much noro in one place, and Mokusa fears that Yukari is deliberately gathering the noro to create another great aradama. After the festival, Sword Administration forces led by Yume arrive and raid the village, though Yume begins coughing blood despite defeating many Mokusa toji.
