Chapter 28: An Autumn Tempest
Nowaki: Typhoon, or more specifically, a typhoon that hits in the autumn between the 210th and 220th days of the year
(First of all, again, so sorry for the delay between chapters. I donât even have an excuse, im just tired and unmotivated, blah blah, complain complain. Anyway, Letâs get going here...)
So this chapter made me really sad cuz a big ole storm ruins all the pretty flowers. This isnât what im reading this book for! I wanna imagine sitting in Genjiâs beautiful flower patch while sipping sweetened sake and listening to koto music man.
The chapter starts off telling you how beautiful the autumn garden is, in Umetsuboâs part of the palace, and how most people wonât admit it but they prefer autumn over spring (I agree with this sentiment, autumn is the shit).Â
So when this storm hits, it fucks up all those blinds and screens that shield the women from view of the public, thus exposing Murasaki to any prying eyes. Of course, these prying eyes end up being...Genjiâs son -_- he spends a good 20 minutes just oogling and thinking about how beautiful she is. Like father like son, I guess lolÂ
To get rid of his Oedipus boner, Genjiâs son goes to visit grandma during the storm to calm her nerves, but the whole time he canât stop thinking about the girl heâs hot for and Murasaki. In the morning, he goes back to the Rokujo Estate and visits Hanachirusatoâs quarters, before slipping on back to where Murasaki and Genji sleep to potentially catch another glimpse of that milf.Â
Back to the Genji stuff - he still crippin on poor Tamakazura but at least the girl is speaking up about it more. Good for her! But oh no! Genjiâs so is also creeping on her from nearby?? Damn this kid is really starting to grow into his Genjiness. I love this quote tho from the son, as heâs watching Tamakazura and Genji sit really close: âThis is shocking! What is going on here? I know that Father is predisposed to explore every possible variation in his relationship with women, and so perhaps heâs sexually attracted to a daughter he had absolutely no hand in raising hen she was just a little girl...â
idk it just seems really funny to see someone just outright say that Genji wants to bang his stepdaughter.Â
Later, Genji gets a glimpse of the Akashi princess and he tries to figure out whoâs the hottest - Murasaki, Tamakazura, or the Akashi Princess? (I feel like heâs still leaning towards Murasaki, milfs man, canât beat em)
The chapter ends with a little reminder about the whole thing with Tu no Chujoâs country daughter, so, hopefully we see how thatâs going next!
