Box: 1570 (First Year of Genki) May 9th. In Kyoto, rumors of the ghosts of fallen warriors began to circulate.
?: They're here

?: Fallen warriors? Those are probably the ghosts of the Oda Army's rear guard which was destroyed at Kanegasaki, right? They wanted to go back to Kyoto.
?: I guess.... But they've got feet... (translator's note: In Japanese folklore, ghosts do not have feet. This is one way to tell a ghost from a living person.)
