9

Koushi attends a meeting between Youschichi, Akira, and Roroku, where Akira warns them that the Spiders are attacking collection trucks and have found a way to safely wield fire. Youschichi agrees to send out more collection trucks to help the villages, since the Divine Clans appear to be doing nothing about it. Koushi returns to his room and is confronted by the Divine Clan member in charge of the spies, Hibari of the Wind Clan. Hibari confirms that the Spiders will arrive at the Capital in nine days, and mentions that he has taken an interest in Koushi and Touko before leaving. The next day, Koushi and Youschichi then test Koushi's newest invention, the Lightning Cannon, which can fire devastating Skyfire shells at long distances, which Youschichi plans to use against both the Divine Clans and Spiders to get rid of them at the same time. Koushi later meets Akira and Roroku again and learns that they are close friends. He then realizes that it was Akira's brother who brought the book containing many of the world's secrets to the Central Archive. That night, Akira tells Touko that she knows the Divine Clans killed her brother because he knew about the Flickering Flame. Despite that, she intends to make an appeal to the Divine Clans to take action. Touko insists on coming with Akira, and suggests that she become the Lord of Fire Hunters. (Source: Wikipedia)
