There is a certain chance Hideyoshi is not killed in the room at all. Nobody with a reliable perspective actually saw the stake driven through him. Natsuhi merely heard something happening but never saw anything, and notice that her narration specially underlines that she did not feel any presence except Hideyoshi's.

After that, the 'corpse' is only seen wrapped in a bloodied sheet, supposedly carried into the parlor as the narration says, and completely forgotten while further scenes in the parlor play out. It's not mentioned ever again.
