Fubuki Befriends a Moth
Life, Relationship changeFubuki teleports outside to meet Tsukijō Hanahane's nighttime visitor, who turns out to be a moth yōkai called Hagasaki Rinko. The girl is enamored with treasures inside the Hanahane Manor, and wants the thing that's "like the sun" most of all. Hanahane believes this to be an Alexandrian sun symbol forged by the brilliant prisoner-artificers of Mavrovlachia, so Fubuki uses some water to recreate the treasure. Rinko isn't interested until a bit of oil in each point of the sun sets it alight as a lamp. Still, she's most interested in a decorative French lamp inside. Under some mild protests from Hanahane, Fubuki brings the moth in. The guard is still occupied with what @Munechika describes as a "distraction". Inside, Rinko goes straight for the lamp, but Hanahane's arm and Fubuki's hand around hers are able to stop her. Making the sun facsimile more elaborate, Fubuki promises that she* can make one just like it if Rinko will go with her*. Overjoyed, the moth girl agrees, and Hanahane seems relieved to have her out of the manor.

Yagyū Jūbei Clears Misunderstandings
Life, Organisation AssociationOn the second day of the Mori Tournament, before matches had officially started, Yagyū Jūbei approached Ryūzaki Sanosuke and asked for a moment of his time. Having spoken to her sister, Yagyū Munefuyu the previous night, Jūbei had handily done away with all her previous misconceptions. Now aware that the Hashinara were not her enemy, nor the enemy of her master, she offered an apology. It was her desire to reunite with Tachibana Muneshige as soon as possible, and so she would be starting on a pilgrimage to The Palace of the Firebird immediately.

Maxim and Mikami
Life, Organisation AssociationFollowing the conclusion of the tournament (plus some extra festivities) for the day, Knight Commander Maxim prepared to take his leave of Shimonoseki. Before he could so much as stand from his seat, however, he received a mental missive from his adviser, Kitsuno. Apparently someone had shown up at Ago Manor in response to one of Maxim's summons. He could deal with it now, or later, or simply have Kitsuno take care of the introductions. Always a hands-on type of man, Maxim opted for the former.

Introduction: Maboro Matsu
The Matsu-Matsuri
Life, Organisation AssociationAs The White Blade of Hope: Date Masamune vanished from the arena, Aotsuki Tsukamoto breathed a sigh of relief. He was not to be afforded even a moment of peace, however, as his adviser Abe no Seimei hailed him on the mental network almost immediately after. She'd finished scouting a priestess for their new shrine to Ōkuninushi. Their most promising candidate was waiting on Aotsuki's pleasure back in Ōtsu Castle. Or, if he so wished, Seimei could take care of it herself. There was some business going on with a mission to the Dreamlands (again?). Perhaps attending to this newcomer himself would give Aotsuki time to decide who he wanted to dispatch on that.
