On the following morning, when the storm had subsided, an old monk came from Akashi to see Genji. Genji was puzzled how the monk could have reached the shore in the severe storm. He sent Yoshiyuki to see the old man. Then he said that he had come here to take Genji to his own place, as he had been instructed in a dream. Genji also had a dream of the old emperor who had come through the skies to help him. After deliberation, he decided to go the Akashi coast. Taking along only four or five attendants, he boarded a boat. Then a strange wind came up and they arrived at Akashi as if they had flown.
