333 A Warm & Gentle Breeze

"What happened?" Homura Emi asked as soon as Kazehaya Gin entered their room.

Emi sat on the futon, reading a book. She looked ready to sleep and was only waiting for him to return.

Since that time she had accepted him as her life partner, Emi had been sharing sleeping quarters with Gin. The latter had arranged for them to stay at a bigger place than the one Gin used to stay at. This had been their chamber and would be their room from that time onwards.

Technically, as a traditional clan, it would be frowned upon for a couple to share sleeping quarters before marriage. But Stribog, the deity himself had declared Emi as his wife, and it's already as good as that. The registration of their marriage at the Civil Office was just a formality since they were still in Japan.  It was why everybody had already started referring to Emi as Gin's wife for a while.
