Day 9
Temperatures go from quite cool in the early morning to pleasant in the early afternoon; they cool again through the evening into the night. Fog in the early morning is blown away by gusty winds that persist throughout the rest of the day. The dominant element is Air.
The Sun remains in the Hare, while the Moon approaches its last quarter in the Rooster. Benten is still in the Serpent, with Bishamon and Fukurokujin in the Rat, Daikoku in the Hare, Ebisu in the Dragon, Hotei in the Ox, and Jurojin in the Tiger.

"So Doji Yoshino is this 'Curse-chan' that senior priest was talking about? What kind of Clan would want a cursed child coming into their lands or marrying into their Families? At least the Yogo know better than that. If I were her lord I'd keep her in the Crane where she can be properly looked after."
"I was really wondering if Asahina Asano was going to fail to win any of the days. Can you imagine a Crane failing to receive any renown in an art competition?"
"Well, Kakita Mikan didn't win any days....."
"You may as well just call her Bayushi Mikan. An embarrassment to the clan soon to be fobbed off on the Scorpion Short Order Cook. Good riddance to both of them."
"So the Togashi did manage a win after all."
"Hey, if you're willing to carve art into your own body, it's really hard to argue your sincerity."
"Hope that doesn't start a trend."
"Doubtful. Can you imagine getting stabbed over and over again like that? Not to mention it might be moth now but I bet in be unrecognizable as such in 30 or so years."
"Did you see Shosuro Hatsuki impale her makeup?"
"That was....amazing. The perfect punctuation mark for her performance."
"Really? The judges didn't seem to much care for it."
"Then they're short-sighted. Mark my words, impaling a makeup kit is going to be in Hyoukasha's next play."
"So who is going to be the champion do you think?"
"Well, Doji Nadeshiko and Doji Yoshino won on two different days, so one of them, yeah?"
"Fortunes, curse-chan? As the first Sapphire Champion? May as well say it's cursed on Day 1."
"So Nadeshiko then?"
"Doesn't have to be. Could be any of the daily winners."
"Could it be someone who was never picked?"
"So....what? They were consistently third place and that made them a champion?"
"I mean, it's a new competition so....maybe?"
"So where's the tournament going to be next year?"
"Well....not Mantis lands. I hear all these days all Yoritomo-san is scoring is sake and cheap minor clan women."
