The closing credits of _Katanagatari_ show Shichika travelling with the
Princess, and being pretty friendly to her. But isn't she at least indirectly
responsible for Togame's death, or did I misunderstand the part where
Emonzaemon mentions that only he decided himself to kill her?

So why does Shichika let her travel with him when he would have a reason to
hate her?

Why does Shichika allow Princess Hitei to travel with him?


Princess Hitei released Togame from her burdens and sent Shichika to thank
Hitei for that. Hitei also confessed that she didn't dislike Togame. Hitei
also was going along with the motives of her ancestor, not her own volition.
So in a way, she killed Togame for two reasons, to alter the future and to
release her from burdens/responsibilities. She semi-respects Togame in the end
by cutting her long hair as short as Togame's. Even Shichika has a shred of
humanity to realize that any needless killing is well, needless.

And also because she does all the paperwork and provides with money. Stuff
Shichika can't really do (he mentions it in ep 12).
