Hanako 31: "Hidehito, Part I"
General Summary
Meeting with Khatar and Eldra, Hanako fails to convince them to support Viseri, but maintains good rapport. Headed back to the Shou Empire through a circle assembled by Mari, Hanako visits the baths in Seito and checks in with Gouki. Speaking with Inori, Hanako hears of an agreement between Yagi Nishikawa and Subaru Akimoto to marry Gouki and Konomi.
After heading to the Fujiwara estate, Hanako reunites with her worried parents Hitomi and Maeda. Finding Isamu upstairs, Hanako encourages him to break his superstitions around wrestling preparation, and a conversation about their mutual affection for one another follows. After Sora Fujiwara walks in on them, she too reunites with Hanako, and they head on an evening walk. Near festival's row in the south side of the inner district, they see Hidehito cornering his brother Yagi- a duel ensues while Sora rules for help. Opting not to interfere, Hanako watches and Hidehito rides off with his brother as a captive.
At the estate, Hanako theorizes about Hidehito's next moves with her parents, and comforts the mildly shaken Sora. In the morning, Sora and Hanako further ruin Isamu's chances of victory in his wrestling match. Visiting Teikyou, Hanako breaks the somber news about Fujiwara servants who were killed in Regnum Solas to Toshiaki, and comforts him.
