Chapter 27 Summary

Genji is in Tamakazura's room and, while they sit together, he tells her everything that To no Chujo is doing to Kumoinokari. Of course, Tamakazura is flabbergasted to hear that her father is forcing her daughter to live under the care of one of his consorts, and she suddenly finds herself very happy that she is under the care of Genji rather than To no Chujo. Furthermore, as Genji sits down in the warm summer's evening and plays his koto, Tamakazura finds that she is falling in love with her benefactor.
