Kanae and Kiyo Terauchi had also been drawn over to investigate and happened to run into Tetsu no Sosuke as he fled. He had left Shinobu Kocho behind to explain to Koizumi Reiko and the others how the tree had fallen.
She was now flusteredly explaining things to Koizumi Reiko while fiercely glaring at Tetsu no Sosuke, who had abandoned her and escaped ahead of time.
"Come on, hurry!"
Tetsu no Sosuke grabbed Kanae and, with Kiyo Terauchi in tow, the three dashed back to the courtyard he shared with Kanae. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"What did you do?" Kanae asked curiously.
Looking a little embarrassed, Tetsu no Sosuke said, "My new Sword Form was finally ready, so I went to find my sister-in-law to test it."

Tetsu no Sosuke chuckled. "Judging by what happened, she definitely believes it now."
Kanae sighed and shot her husband a hard look, then sent Kiyo Terauchi to help as well. Whatever needed fixing could be fixed, and the fallen tree could be carried away or cut up into lumber to make some new furniture for the house.
"Can your new Sword Form stand up to him?"
Kanae asked quietly after Kiyo Terauchi had left.
Tetsu no Sosuke immediately fell silent. After a long moment of thought, he shook his head. "It's still not enough!"
