In Flames! Capital of Light

A mysterious traveller, Koumei Re-GZ, has arrived at the capital Rakuyou. He is in search of the source of darkness that has shrouded the whole of Mirisha, and sends out his Bakuoki. At the imperial palace, Jyokou Serpent is informing Toutaku on Ryofu's defeat. Ryofu steps in, accepting his failure at the Koroukan. Toutaku is furious, until Riju steps in with a new plan. They are to retreat to the Biujiyou at Chouan, and to set Rakuyou ablaze for the Alliance. Jyokou is strongly against this plan, thinking about the citizens, but Toutaku cares not of the citizens. Chou-sen comments on how both Toutaku and Riju seem to be possessed.
