Araki replied, 'That makes a lot of sense. I also understand what he said. So I'd like to ask roju (higher-ranking members of the cabinet of the Tokugawa Shogunate) to consider his request. What do you think, Uneme?' and Sakakibara answered, 'I agree with you,' and therefore Araki said to Kuranosuke, 'Then I will tell your wish to roju as soon as we get to Edo,' to which Kuranosuke responded, 'I thank you very much.'
荒木も｢なるほど。確かに内蔵助の言い分も最もです。ご老中に取り次ごうと思いますが、采女殿はどう思いますか？」といい、榊原も「それでいいと思います」と答えたので、荒木は、内蔵助に「では、江戸へ帰り次第、その申し分を取り次ごう」と言ってくれ、内蔵助は「かたじけなく存じます」とお礼を述べたという流れである。
