Episode 20
After Kiichi caused an uproar, Ito appears from the crowd to tell him that he is always going with his crazy things to save Saga. Later in a food place, they talk about Kiichi's plan to restore the old Saga to which Ito tells him that it seems that he is hinting at a new revolt in Saga, although Kiichi says that his goal is not to start a war. Later they both go to the cherry blossom park of the citadel where Kiichi falls in love with Yugiri. Ito tells him that she was so legendary that she ended up creating a price bubble around her that turned out that no one could pay. Kiichi only mentions that he finds it extraordinary for someone like her to come to Saga in the first place. He later e realizes that Yugiri's help to Kiichi could bring the attention that the revolt was looking for and he is going to personally give Yugiri a freshly caught fish from the river, all this to talk to her. At night the 3 talk and Ito says that Kiichi could be a very important doctor because he is very intelligent, in addition to being able to start a family with Yugiri. Kiichi gets so flustered by Ito's words that he ends up fainting again. Ito talks with Yugiri that Kiichi will end badly because the country is still very wild and corrupt and that it is better to leave that crazy plan to save Saga. In the final scene, he is seen delivering a secret note to a homeless man, presumably someone from the government that is there to avoid new revolts.
