Summary
The prologue is a narrative of Angelique and her friends enjoying a peaceful walk in Owari. Since Rosalia is busy overseeing the administrations for the Shinano restoration, they hope to drag her outdoors sometime for a break. Two children interrupt their chitchat by giving Angelique some chestnuts. Olivie muses over her dream and thinks to himself that Angelique can someday make it a reality.

Takeda Story: Salt Scented Painting of Fuji
Gold miners discover a new hot spring in Kai. As a token of appreciation, Julious invites Angelique to take a dip within it. Randy visits Owari as his lord's messenger. Excited by the exquisite treat, Angelique agrees to go with Marcel, Zephel and Olivie. Rosalia stays behind to protect their home base and to proceed with the paperwork for Shinano's restoration efforts.

Julious welcomes Angelique to Kai but is occupied with pressing issues on the day of her visit. Zephel arrogantly prods at their host's audacity which prompts Randy's offended scolding. They are quieted by Julious's calm admonition and apology to the Oda. He entrusts Randy to entertain their guests before going to the new hot spring. Randy shows them the lakeside view of Mount Fuji which impresses the Oda entourage. Their enthusiasm reminds him of a rumor that Leonard slandered their view of the mountain. Angelique chirps that his impressions would change if he saw the sight in person. Her words brightens the Sanada youth.

The group heads to the new hot spring after their walk. Angelique is given her own bath that is separated with a wooden fence from the male side. Randy serves Olivie wine during their soak. Each side enjoys themselves until a wild monkey hops into the bath with Angelique. The men hear her surprised shriek and instinctively hurry to her side. Angelique is upset with their public indecency, even when they wait for their dinner back at Julious's headquarters, Tsutsujigasaki Manor. Once he hears about what occurred, Julious apologizes for the monkey's rudeness and requests to receive her retribution. His overreaction ceases Angelique's sulking and restores her cheeriness. She pleads for him to not be so hard on himself.

During their meal, Julious swears to strengthen the boundaries between the female and male sectors of the hot spring to atone for her humiliation. Angelique appreciates his concern but prefers for the hot spring to be a place that can be enjoyed without harsh restrictions. She instead asks for him to increase awareness to the spot so everyone can enjoy the nearby scenery and bath. Zephel wants to make an automatic trolley leading up to the mountain path but his inventions are too unreliable to run and repair without his constant presence. Olivie suggests paving a smoother footpath and constructing an inn nearby. He calls for a painting near the bathing area when they inspect the hot spring area the next day. Julious approves and begins working on the inn's development. Angelique and company are entrusted with seeing Sei-Lan about the painting.

With Luva's help, Angelique and company find the painter's residence in the capital. They finally meet the capricious artist on their third visit. After hearing Angelique's request, Sei-Lan refuses since he is not in the mood for traveling. Olivie scoffs that they'll need to ask Tōhaku Hasegawa to do it instead. Upset at the thought of being replaced by a "charlatan", Sei-Lan packs his bags for Kai. Randy promises to guide the painter to Kai. Since they can't leave Rosalia alone for long, Angelique and company head back to Owari.

Many days later, Randy delivers a message that Sei-Lan hasn't painted anything. Concerned, Angelique and company go to see him. They eventually find him gazing at Mount Fuji. The artist intends to paint it yet refuses to do so until he pinpoints the precise inspiration he wishes to gain from it. Sei-Lan believes people are too attached to their selfish labels for the mountain; the thought of making a painting to seemingly contribute to their bickering disappoints him. Angelique repeats her earlier sentiments with Randy, saying that the mountain's natural beauty is what draws her eyes to it. Surprised and amused by her simple opinion, Sei-Lan has found his spark. He returns to his room to immediately start the painting, forgoing food and sleep in his focus. The Oda are pleased to see him at work and head for home.

Time passes, and the outdoor hot spring, its inn, and painting are completed. Julious and Randy marvel at Sei-Lan's work, remarking that it is a portrait of the mountain which captures its stunning majesty while favoring no perspective or territory. The painter is pleased by his finished product and wonders if Angelique was responsible for one of his finest creations. After a few moments of thoughtful repose, Sei-Lan departs. The Takeda grin at his eccentricity and look forward to the day they can invite Angelique to the hot spring again.

Uesugi Story: The Dragon's Silence
Clavis feels overworked for Shinano's day-and-night reconstruction efforts. Tired and annoyed, he secludes himself in the Bishamonten shrine room within Kasugayama Castle for several days. Worried sick for his lord, Ernst heads to Owari to implore Angelique to help him. The Oda were going to give Rosalia a break at the Takeda hot spring.

After making several remarks about Clavis being a shut-in and feeling it to be relatively harmless, Zephel scoffs that the Uesugi could simply starve him out. Ernst responds that the act would be cruel and fruitless since his lord learned how to fast during his childhood training as a monk. Marcel wonders if he is merely practicing annual devotion to his deity. Ernst retorts that his lord's sudden isolation is unprecedented. He wishes for Clavis to socialize again before the harsh winter hits Echigo, sincerely believing that his lord could freeze himself to death. The strategist's grave anxiety convinces Angelique and Rosalia to cancel their vacation and address their Uesugi ally in earnest. Rosalia and Olivie stay behind to watch the fort, the latter being convinced by Rosalia's coercion and Angelique's cheerful smile to stay put.

Ernst brings the Oda before Clavis's room yet he refuses to open his door to them. He appreciates Angelique coming to see him and is privately concerned for her health, knowing that she is unaccustomed to the autumn chill in Echigo. Clavis remains dormant despite her pleadings. Zephel half-jokingly suggests yanking Clavis out when he reaches for his food. While Marcel and Angelique chide his rudeness, Charlie enters. He was dropping a shipment of goods in Echigo and was brought there by Ernst's request. They exchange pleasantries and ponder the consequences of their predicament together, feeling that an idle Clavis could also potentially weaken the Uesugi's reputation with traders.

The merchant suggests taking a cue from Japanese mythology by luring Clavis out Amaterasu style. Angelique jumps on the idea, and the group stages a grand banquet outside the Bishamonten shrine room without delay. Uesugi retainers make merry with the new shipment of delicacies and Zephel's stunts with his mechanical bird. Marcel and Angelique serve refreshments and invite others to dance with them. In the midst of festivities, Charlie stages a magic show with various foreign inventions.

No one invites Clavis to the merriment, but their cheerful laughter reaches his ears. Curious yet hesitant, Clavis listens to the merriment with interest. As the magic show takes place, he starts to feel lonely in his seclusion. He is unable to hold back his emotions and steps out during the show's climax. The Uesugi retainers were dazzled by the paper cherry blossoms Charlie had exploded into the air and further rejoice to see their lord underneath them.

Clavis is moved to see their smiles, appreciating their endless devotion to their duty. Gazing at Angelique's smile leads him to remember her determination to remain a reliable leader. He inwardly feels ashamed for causing his wonderful followers grief and promises to endure his position for them. As the Uesugi bow in awe of their lord, Ernst conjectures that Clavis's seclusion was a stunt to unify the Uesugi. They have been working nonstop for so long that the lord wanted his retainers to remember the importance of rest. Since the Uesugi retainers latch onto the strategist's false impressions and sing praises for their lord's ingenuity, Clavis decides to not rain on their parade with the truth.

Angelique believes Ernst's interpretation and muses that she could learn something from Clavis. Pleased to see the matter settled, the Oda return to Owari the next day. Moments after their departure, Ernst shoves the mountain of paperwork that piled up during Clavis's seclusion onto his lord's plate. Still riveted by the banquet's gaiety, the strategist declares that he will increase his efforts tenfold. Clavis sighs with the knowledge that he will be forced to authorize dozens of documents well into the evening hours.
