Seems that fight at least cleared the animosity between Laios and Toshirou with the universal language of fists shounen style lol, even a potential escape to the east assuming things go south due to dark arts usage. That party should be cleared now, but I'm still doubtful on the other party. Their leader in particular seems to be the manipulative type and may cause issues later on.
Asebi the ninja got left behind though, very likely they'll meet with the main party. She seems to be a cat girl from the looks of it.
