The matchlock men, not expecting an assault from an outside party, go down easy, Kyouka's sword carving through them like a hot knife through butter. The main fight goes much the same way, Kyouka's flanking attack catching the yakuza by surprise. If they'd been able to unite, they would have had a decent chance of resisting, but with each man unsure who is an enemy or a friend, they're easily butchered. Afterwards, the road is littered with dead yakuza, and Kyouka's force scatters. By chance, the redhead finds herself walking alongside Tetchi. "Hmmph, you did pretty good, I guess." The tavern is not far away.
