Kagurabachi chapter 45 recap
The chapter begins with a conversation between the Hishaku's boss and an unidentified person. The former feels everything has gone according to his plan, so he looks forward to his next plans.
Meanwhile, Chihiro Rokuhira and Hakuri Sazanami regain their consciousness a day after the Rakuzaichi incident and notice Shiba, Hiyuki, Tafuku, and Char are engaged in gaming. Hiyuki is glad that everyone is safe but laments that it was the Kamunabi's job to protect the law and order, but they failed.
She feels their mission wouldn't have succeeded without Chihiro and Hakuri's combined efforts. On the other hand, Char tells Hakuri and Chihiro that Mr. Inazuma has thanked them for saving his sister.
Following that, Chihiro asks Hiyuki about his Enten blade. The Flame-Bone user hands it over and tells him that she has entrusted Shinuchi to his colleagues. Hiyuki further tells Chihiro to get ready as she has to take him to the Kamunabi headquarters.
Shiba wonders if there's an alternate approach to their plan without Chihiro associating with the Kamunabi. However, Hiyuki reminds him that the deal has already been made. Chihiro assures Shiba that nothing will happen to him.
During their conversation, Tafuku brings up that it's up to the Kamunabi to decide whether they will seal the Shinuchi or use it. He feels the latter is more likely considering they have to deal with Hishaku's threat.
At that moment, Chihiro gets an idea. He feels it's best if they could register the previous Enchanted Blade users in Hakuri's Storehouse. That way, they can retrieve the stolen blades because those blades must have their residual Spirit Energy.
However, Hiyuki and Tafuku inform Chihiro that the previous owners are heavily protected in specific Sanso or "fortresses." At the same time, they feel it'd be difficult to convince the higher-ups, who will judge Chihiro and Hakuri based on their characters and convictions.
Hiyuki thinks the Enten user has to convince the Kamunabi higher-ups about his resolve and purpose. The chapter ends with Chihiro Rokuhira introducing himself to the Kamunabi's top forces at the headquarters.
What to expect in Kagurabachi chapter 46? (speculative)
Considering how the latest chapter ended, Kagurabachi chapter 46 will likely show Chihiro Rokuhira stating his purpose to the Kamunabi higher officials. It would be interesting to see how they react to the boy's plea.
Moreover, Kagurabachi chapter 46 may also show Azami's reaction to Chihiro's decision to join the Kamunabi forces. In any case, the chapter will set the motion for the new Kamunabi arc.
