[Vol. 2] Chapter 46

We were prepared to go to the capital of Kosaki and I saw my sisters and their husbands were ready as well to return. First lady was shedding tears since she didn't know when her daughters would come again.

Women, once married, were not allowed to come often in their father's house and if they came that would only be if her husband allowed it or came with her. Since both the husbands served in the military, they wouldn't have time to come again.

For the morning meal, the men had seated, gathering in the hall and we all served our husbands. I sat beside Arashi and served him as the men engaged in conversation.

After some time, my father asked Arashi curiously, "You knew Mr. Amane? He even praised you and I am really honored to hear that."

Arashi responded calmly, "Yes, we know each other from the war. I treated him once as well."

My elder sister's husband, Mr Dateko asked, "You were in the war of Wansai and Kosaki? I have never heard of your name."
