Chapter 52: Difficulties with Daughters

Despite Sesshoume's ire, Kagomaru was willing to hear Miroku out. Positioning himself squarely between the man and his glowering wife, he inquired, "What brings you back?"

"I need your support," Miroku replied frankly.

"With the headman's difficulties?"

"Yes. You see, his daughter is not so much afflicted as... well... I convinced her lord father that your insights would be invaluable." Turning to his hostess, he pleaded, "Can I count on you ladies, as well? The girl has no mother to turn to, and you are uniquely qualified to address her situation."

Kagomaru's mother smiled. "I'd enjoy seeing Lady Izayoi again."
