In the previous chapter of Kagurabachi, Hakuri mentioned that he knew about the storehouse where the items for the Rakuzaichi auction are stored, but he was unsure of its exact location.

In the previous chapter, it was revealed that the Kamunabi wants to win back the Shinuchi blade from the auction. Chihiro and Shiba ended the chapter by sneaking into the Sazanami mansion to confront Kyora and find out where Shinuchi is. Just a heads up, this article contains spoilers from Kagurabachi chapter 23.

In Kagurabachi chapter 23, titled "Storehouse", Kyora Sazanami starts by questioning Chihiro about leaving if he discloses Shinuchi's whereabouts. Despite activating his sorcery, Kyora reassures Chihiro that he is not preparing for battle.

When Chihiro inquires about Shinuchi's location, Sazanami does not provide a direct answer. Instead, he expresses interest in learning about the seventh Sacred Blade. Additionally, it is revealed in Kagurabachi chapter 23 that Kyora Sazanami is aware of Chihiro's true identity as Kunishige Rokuhira's son.

Shiba has a feeling that the information might have been leaked from the Kamunabi. He is also worried about Kyora's unusually calm behavior. Suddenly, a flashback reveals Hakuri cautioning Chihiro and Shiba about the dangerous "Tou" (Wave) at the Sazanami mansion.

He explained that the Tou is made up of the top four fighters among the 50 sorcerers of the Sazanami clan. Their main duty is to protect the clan's leader, Kyora Sazanami. Moving on to Kagurabachi chapter 23, we see Shiba realizing that the head of the Sazanami clan has not yet requested the assistance of the Tou.

Chihiro keeps asking about the Shinuchi, and he is told to place a bid at the auction if he really wants the sword. Suddenly, something unexpected happens that surprises both Chihiro and Shiba.

Chihiro sees the Shinuchi katana right in front of him. But when he tries to touch it, Kyora Sazanami explains that it's just a projection created through his magical abilities, not the actual sword stored in the warehouse.

In Kagurabachi chapter 23, it is revealed that the Rakuzaichi auction's storehouse is located within Kyora Sazanami. This storehouse is actually a pocket dimension created using his sorcery skills. The power to create and control this pocket dimension has been passed down through the clan's leaders without exception.

Only members of the Sazanami family have access to the storage, as the authority over it belongs solely to Kyora Sazanami. This means that if he were to pass away, the storehouse and all the items within it would be lost forever.

To further provoke Chihiro, Kyora shares additional photos of the storehouse, revealing human prisoners. In Kagurabachi chapter 23, a flashback panel reminds readers of the cruel nature of the Rakuzaichi auction.

Shiba speculates that Kyora only revealed his secret weapon because he knows he can't defeat a Sacred Blade user. Chapter 23 of Kagurabachi also emphasizes that Shiba is unable to extract information from Kyora because he has the power to destroy the storehouse at any moment.

He initially doubts the clan leader's seriousness, but changes his mind when he understands the seriousness of the situation. The sorcerer then ponders the possibility of Hakuri using his Sazanami heritage to help with the mystery of the storehouse, if Kyora's information is accurate.

Unfortunately, Shiba soon remembers that Hakuri was exiled from his family for his lack of magical abilities. Despite this, he advises Chihiro to step back for now as they can't risk endangering others. However, their conversation is interrupted by the sudden appearance of three elite guards.
