June 20, in Ibaraki, Kiyohide asks Sasuke to take care of the Nakagawa clan if something happens to him. Hideyoshi holds the son of Nobutada, Sanpouchi, as hostage. Sasuke asks for Yasuke's freedom. Hideyoshi accepts, and warns that should Sasuke spread the same rumors about Hideyoshi being in Honnouji, he will die. Shibata gets closer to Oichi, Nobunaga's sister, assuring he'll get revenge for her someday. The daughter she had with Azai Nagamasa, Ochacha 13, tells Nagamasu she'll only wear fancy clothes. November 1582, Sasuke visits the Taian tea lodge conceived by Soueki in Yamazaki castle. During the ceremony, Soueki names the concept Shibui. Examining his possessions, Sasuke decides to get rid of a foreign chest given to him by Nobunaga. He tries to bury it, but Osen salvages and stores it. (Source: Wikipedia)
