1An Oath for Peace2026-04-0724 minAoteru Misumi is a young man living in the countryside of Ehime, Yamato. Working as an agricultural officer, he lives a quiet life with his wife, Saki. One day, they are visited by a horseback procession fit for a king. The most extravagant horse-drawn carriage in this procession carries none other than Denki Taira, the lord of home affairs and true ruler of Yamato.
2Toryumon2026-04-1424 minHaving lost the love of his life, Aoteru is determined to fulfill the promise he made to her of creating a peaceful world.

But Aoteru will find no rest there, as he immediately encounters a certain individual.
3Imperial Council2026-04-2124 minAoteru and Yoshitsune Asama take the Toryumon, an employment exam required to work under Ryumon. The conditions for passing are simple: the examinees must bring him to his knees. It seems that knowledge of the art of war alone will not be enough. They will also need their resourcefulness to get through this trial.
4The Seii Coup2026-04-2824 minThree years after passing the Toryumon, Aoteru is working hard under Ryumon to perform his duties to their fullest.

While Tonotsugu is optimistic about this opportunity, Sugoh harbors concerns that it is a trap set by Seii.
7The Kanazawa Night Raid2026-05-1924 minWhen Seii invades Kuzuryu Castle, tensions between Seii and Yamato come to a head. Sensing something strange about the situation, the Yamato army led by Ryumon decide to halt their advance. Meanwhile, having gone ahead, Tonotsugu's men enter Seii without knowing that war has broken out, and are given a warm welcome by Muuton Nagao.
8Dragon vs. Tiger2026-05-2624 minMuuton's night raid on Kanazawa ended in failure, but the main forces of the Seii army continue their advance on the Borderland General Corps. The decisive battle between Ohga and Ryumon draws near.

Though the Yamato forces are pushed to the brink, Ryumon and his strategist, Kaku, have already entrusted a bold plan to a young man to break this dire stalemate.
11Lie on Firewood and Persuade the Heavens2026-06-1624 minAoteru finally reunites with Denki Taira, but his eyes are fixed on something else entirely.

12The Fall of Seii2026-06-2324 minThrough a heartfelt plea, Aoteru finally persuades the emperor. Yoshitsune delivers an imperial decree to Ryumon, who prepares to face the Seii forces.
