Summary

Saigyouji Yuyuko and Ba Yun Zi observe General Cheng, who has been standing motionless for three days near Saigyou Ayakashi.

Yuyuko expresses a desire to invite Saigyou Ayakashi to join them, but Ba Yun Zi points out the tree's lack of intelligence. As they converse, Yuyuko reveals her habit of conserving food due to limited supplies, prompting Ba Yun Zi to insist she eat properly.

As they prepare to approach him, the ground begins to tremble, revealing that the roots of Saigyou Ayakashi are being forced upward by an unseen entity beneath the surface. General Cheng, feeling the vibrations, recognizes that the moment he has been waiting for has arrived, as he has been controlling the blood flow around the roots to prepare for this activation.
