In the previous chapter of Kagurabachi, Chihiro Rokuhira remotely activated his Enchanted Blade, Enten, to scout the Rakuzaichi's vault before the auction.

Meanwhile, Kyora Sazanami felt that Chihiro wouldn't have let go of the blade without a plan. Besides that, the chapter saw several guests appear at the auction's location to wait for the Rakuzaichi to start.

Chapter 26, titled Confidence, begins with Tafuku and Hiyuki enjoying a meal at a restaurant. The Flame-Bone user thinks about defeating Chihiro while eating spaghetti. Suddenly, Tafuku remembers about the Enten being enlisted into the Rakuzaichi auction. As such, he shows the notification to Hiyuki.

The Kamunabi sorcerer is bewildered and wonders whether Chihiro has let go of the blade for money. However, Tafuku reminds her that he isn't a person who would sacrifice his blade for such a reason.

Elsewhere, Chihiro, Shiba, Hakuri, and others are seen inside a car, probably going to the Rakuzaichi auction. The protagonist reveals that he wants to recon the vault using Enten.

After discussing several hypotheses about the Rakuzaichi vault's location and nature, he realizes that he needs to narrow down the options.

Chihiro discloses that his Enten has a "side effect," which allows him to use the blade for scouting purposes.

By imbuing the Katana with his Spirit Energy, Chihiro can remotely activate Enten's Goldfish (the manifestation of his Spiritual Energy) and use it as a limb to scout his surroundings.

Meanwhile, Hakuri apologizes to Chihiro for being a burden. However, the Enten-user reveals that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have had the confidence to let go of his blade. The chapter then shows Chihiro establishing contact with his Enchanted Blade.

A mini black goldfish appears from the blade, and it scouts the vault's surroundings. Chihiro notices Kyora Sazanami inside the storehouse, admiring the other Enchanted Blade, Shinuchi. Suddenly, the Sazanami chief feels something strange and looks behind.

The small goldfish quickly hides behind a pillar. Kyora realizes Chihiro isn't the type to trade the sacred blade without a plan. As such, he looks forward to what he has to show.

Elsewhere, two individuals discuss the Rakuzaichi auction's madness. It is revealed that the Enchanted Blades won't appear at the auction until nighttime.

The chapter ends with several people gathering in front of the building where the auction is scheduled to take place.

Considering how the latest issue ended, Kagurabachi chapter 27 will likely begin the Rakuzaichi auction, where Enten and Shinuchi Enchanted Blades are listed as merchandise. It remains to be seen whether Chihiro can find a way to retrieve the blades from the vault before the auction begins.

However, for that, he has to find an infiltration route to the vault. At the same time, Kagurabachi chapter 27 may showcase new characters, including a Hishaku member.
