In the fall of 1588, Gou avoids Chacha after learning that Chacha has bonded with Hideyoshi; Gou will not hear out Hatsu who comes to reconcile Gou with Chacha. Chacha, who is pregnant with Hideyoshi's child, tells Gou and Hatsu that she feels her parents have forgiven her for loving Hideyoshi now that she has conceived a baby, but Gou hardens her attitude toward Chacha. Kita no Mandokoro, formerly named One, is deeply hurt by Chacha's pregnancy, and makes a visit to Gou and Chacha.
