However, there was no sign of the black retainer when they reached the camp.
So he called a meeting of the principal Hatamotos, and introduced Matagorô to them, saying "This man is a retainer of Ikéda Kunaishôyu, who, having cause of hatred against a man named Watanabé Yukiyé, has slain him, and has fled to me for protection; this man's mother suckled me when I was an infant, and, right or wrong, I will befriend him.
