Returning to Kyoto more than fifteen or sixteen years later, the family of the nurse found difficulties in living. They prayed for god to save them. In autumn, they made pilgrimages to Hatsuse on foot. The walk was exhausting for the girl. When they lodged at the Tsubaki Market, Ukon happened to be staying in the same place. Looking through an opening in the curtains, she was surprised to find the old familiar faces. Ukon paid visit to the temple every year to pray for the gods to find the girl of the evening faces.
