Ariake no wakare is the story written in the late Heian Period. This story can be separated into two parts. The first half is a story about the general who is a woman (she is the same person in the latter half who became Queen mother), the latter half is a story that centers on the minister who is general's successor. So far the minister's story has not been defined. In this research, it is discussed that this story narrates queen mother's completeness. The minister's story only talks about surface part in the story world. At the back of the minister's activity, the queen mother controls the world of the story as she wanted. From the description about miracles happened by the action behind closed doors, and the succession of music, the mechanism of the story can be considered. Lastly, it is referred that the narrator's attitude that imperfectly concluded first-ranked minister's story was to talk about the completeness of the queen mother.
