Having defeated the first of the Heroic Spirit Swordmasters, Ritsuka and Musashi set out for Toke Castle in search of the truth behind the irregularities in Shimousa Prefecture. To their surprise, many familiar faces await them in the castle town. Perhaps these chance encounters will help them get to the bottom of things...or perhaps they're a portent of further chaos on the horizon. Then, not a moment after they recruit a new ally on their quest, they encounter the second of the fearsome Swordmasters, a fearsome lady samurai who commands powerful flames!
