The others soon learn they can't leave the forest until they tell all 100 stories, which proves to be difficult since none of Nobunaga's stories are scary and Akechi is easily frightened. Being mocked by the others, Hideyoshi gives Nobunaga a story from her time, the performance of which proves to be so scary it puts out all the remaining candles, allowing the dead samurai to pass on and the others to leave.

Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Akechi travel on foot towards Saigoku to negotiate for the remaining armor pieces. Stopping in a town to rest, the villagers show fear towards Nobunaga, believing rumors that she eats children. This turns out to be due to Akechi's attempt to spread word of Nobunaga's kindness, which somehow got scrambled as it was passed along from person to person. After another long hike, they came across a village with a hot spring, which Hideyoshi spends too long in and catches a fever. With her fever worsening, Masamune anonymously donates some modern medicine from her time, claiming it to be from overseas.

As Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Akechi catch up to Masamune, they find her already beaten, the armor taken by Ieyasu who is now attacking Nobunaga's castle.

As Nobunaga begins rebuilding her castle, Masamune finds the Crimson Armor amongst the wreckage and becomes swayed by it. As Masamune pleas that she needs to wear the armor to change the world, Nobunaga tells her how her recent experiences taught her that there is more to being a leader than to rule with power. As her friends stand to fight against her should she try, Nobunaga destroys the armor, saying there is no need for it, bringing Masamune back to her senses. Afterward, Masamune tells Hideyoshi that they need to return to their own time. In the epilogue, Hideyoshi stops in front of the temple and spots a dog who reminds her of Shiro.
