Sonsaku Hakufu, together with Shokatsuryou Koumei, Chouhi Ekitoku, and Ryuubi Gentoku, are probing the Magatama incidents that unfolded over the past week. Reports indicate that fighters from the western region are implicated, and every fallen combatant displayed a sword‑edge scar on their skin. Kan'u Unchou, an elite A‑rank operative, ventured to confront the foes but reportedly was defeated. Ekitoku believes that Kansai houses S‑rank individuals, as this would be the sole explanation for such a loss. Consequently, they intend to rendezvous with Chouun Shiryuu and Kan at a local temple to prevent further casualties, yet the outlook grows increasingly bleak for the safety of nearby villages, the team feels urgency rising.
