Tập 26: Sakon đối chất với Ayano về âm mưu trả thù của gia tộc Tachibana và biểu diễn trước công chúng.

26

Zenkichi crashes his motorcycle and Shinozaki admits responsibility. However, Sakon suspects the puppet hairdresser Ayano and confronts her in the theater. She reveals that she and her brother wanted revenge on the Tachibana family for the calamity that befell the Suou family: her father committing suicide and her mother going insane. After her brother suicided 10 years ago, her hatred for the Tachibanas grew and she was driven by the need for revenge. Saemon intervenes and shows her a letter from her brother to Sakon's father when he committed suicide, forgiving the Tachibana family and hoping that Ayano will give up thoughts of revenge. Afterward, Sakon cannot practice, but Shiho uses Ukon to break his somber mood, and Sakon goes on to give his first public performance. (Source: Wikipedia)
