NCAC-075: Affair Amid the Ravages of War - Akiko Kirishima

About this work

1. During the war, Masako spent the last night with Ken, who had been called up, and sent him off while swallowing her sorrow. Five years later, after the war's end, Masako had married a man about a generation older than her. One day, Ken — who was believed to have died in the war — returned to Masako. 2. Shizu, whose husband had died in the war, was caring for her sister Aya and living in hardship, with barely enough to eat. One day, a farmer who had feelings for Shizu attacked her while she was gathering wild vegetables.
