[Unfortunately, he is absolutely asking the worst person to tell him about the Yukimura ancestors. Chizuru very clearly doesn't know how to answer him; she doesn't want to say "I'm sorry, I don't know," because that's not a very helpful answer at all. But the truth is she doesn't know the names of any of her ancestors; she only knows the name of the man who isn't even her real father.
...what are her parents' names? Her expression flickers a little and she looks down. What sort of a daughter of the Yukimura clan is she, if she cam't even remember something as simple as her parents' names? Surely she must have heard them at some point, even if it was just when they were very little. Surely someone must have called them by name while she was there.
So why can't she remember? What use is having Shotsuren to remember them by, if all it reminds her of is that they exist? It's at her waist as it usually is and she rests a hand on it, because it's familiar and comforting, and -
Oh. Her whole face lights up, and she is earnest as she raises her head and looks at Shuu.]
I don't know any of their names... but! [She pulls Shotsuren, sheath and all, from her waist and holds it out for Shuu to take a closer look at.] The man who raised me... he said this was passed on through generations in my family. If you lived a very long time ago, maybe you would recognize it...?
[It's a long shot, but it's the closest thing she's got to an answer.
...that sure does look like one of Suzuka Gozen's swords, huh. Did Shuu ever find out that Shotsuren and Daitsuren were passed on to the Yukimuras? ...not that believing her to be one of Yasehime's descendants is much better, dear god.]
