Evening Mist


By the time the memorial services of the forty ninth day of the Ichijo lady came around, rumor about the two of them had spread. Being restless, Yugiri started the necessary preparations to accept her into the Ichijo mansion, as if the dead lady intended it. On the appointed day, he came to Ono cordially to escort her. In tears, she was finally shown into a carriage. She had brought the sword and the seal of the royal impress, a sutra box and a memento of her mother.
