With the Mōri rebellion defeated, and the ringleaders captured. Itami's reign had been secured. However, rather than returning to the capital city of Heian-kyō immediately after her victory, Itami had opted to spend some time with her family. Her father had passed away shortly after her reincarnation into this world. However, her mother and sister were still very much alive.
They had heard rumors of Itami Riyo's exploits throughout the past few years, but had hardly believed what they were told. That is, until an army of ten thousand plus men arrived at their home, swearing that they would defend the fortress from the enemy that would soon be arriving. After the battle was over and the corpses were cleared, Riyo entered her home for the first time in years.
