The next morning, Hiroshi finds his father in the courtyard of the castle. Hiroshi tells his father that he has found the women, but that they have been hiding in the shadows. He asks his father if he knows where the women are, and his father replies that he does not. He also says that the village leaders are hiding the women because they are insubordinate and wicked. The search team has been looking for the women for over a month, but they have not been able to find them. He says that he will not allow them to leave the castle, as he has a plan to crush the men of the shogun.
