Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Yes, Nino did mention something she hoped you could help her with."

"I understand, then I'll—"

"Yukino-neechan."

Just as Yukino was about to leave, she noticed that Renka, who was shorter than her, was grabbing her sleeve with her small hand and staring at her with expectant eyes.

Yukino had no choice but to accept it.

"As for how I feel about Kyosuke-sama? I've never really cared much. He's just my husband, and that's enough... I'm not just saying that to appease you, that's my honest opinion."

"Indeed, the purer the love, the simpler it is." Lianhua was not disappointed by Yukino's answer; instead, she seemed to have gained some insight.

Menreiki nodded firmly: "So, Renka, you don't need to deliberately pursue anything."

Renka was born not long ago. Although she has memories of the past, she is still a very ordinary girl in terms of mind. Therefore, Menreiki is very tolerant of her and is now trying to guide her correctly.

"Then, I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that no one questioned her answer, Yukino secretly breathed a sigh of relief and planned to leave quickly.

She is currently compiling the daily production and expenses of the manor, and is planning to hand over the completed list to Kikyo Kushida, who will then pass it on to Sue.

"See you later, Yukino~"

See you later...

Yukino nodded in response softly, then quickly left.

What she said before was almost like confessing to Kyosuke Kousaka, so how could Yukino not be shy?

Now I want to escape whenever I have the chance.

As if fate was against Yukino, not long after, Yukino encountered Yui Yuigahama, who was overjoyed to hear about the gathering. Once again, Yui could only let Yui Yuigahama chatter on about her dreams, which were still about Kyosuke Kousaka...

Time flew by, and night fell.

Kyosuke Kousaka gradually regained his composure and spirits.

Having already sharpened the gun during his rest period, he felt that the energy and blood he had depleted and burned from using forbidden techniques were beginning to recover at an extremely fast pace.

Kasumigaoka, Aoandon, Shiranui, Kingyo-hime... wait? These don't seem to have developed a concrete relationship like sleeping together yet.

Suddenly, as more and more lovers arrived, Kyosuke Kosaka realized something was amiss.

If you want to sleep together after a party, you should at least have slept in the same bed beforehand, right? Otherwise, it would be terrifying.

"In the past, when we held banquets, almost everyone who gathered together was a couple who had already had intimate relations..."

Kyosuke Kosaka felt a chill run down his spine; this situation was not going to be easy to handle.

452. Gatherings/Casual Chats/Expressing Affection

A sumptuous meal was served, and Kousaka Kyosuke, the host of the gathering, said a few words before starting to eat.

Next to Kousaka Kyosuke were several younger girls, including Kagura, Renka, and Menreiki, while the others gradually started chatting, and the atmosphere wasn't too serious.

Since this had been held before, those who had participated before weren't so reserved.

"Kagura, don't study magic for the next few days. This is a time to relax. I've relaxed, so don't overwork yourself."

During the meal, Kyosuke Kosaka took the opportunity to persuade Kagura, who had been showing signs of becoming a researcher lately.

Kagura, hearing the advice, mumbled something under her breath while eating, "Mmm..."

"...Where did you learn to be so cunning?"

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless.

Seeing that Kagura was only making a meowing sound like a kitten swallowing food, he naturally did not think that Kagura was agreeing.

Isn't this just a complete slap on the wrist?

—It means, "As long as I haven't agreed, I can continue to act secretly."

It's obvious that Kagura intends to do just that.

“He must have learned it from Kyosuke,” Menreiki said with a serious expression.

Lianhua nodded in agreement: "I think so too..."

Kyosuke Kosaka was speechless. This really didn't take any care of him, the "patient."

Looking at the other couples not far away, they were all eating and chatting, not much different from a modern girls' gathering.

At most, it just means there's this man.

If it weren't for him, it would definitely have been a very ordinary women's gathering.

"This is fine as it is now, otherwise I would definitely lose sight of what's important if I talked to them one by one," Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

At this moment, just let those who care about you know that you can actually eat and sleep well.

The idea of ​​throwing a party was ultimately secondary.

That is indeed the case.

Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke was not much different from usual, they gradually felt relieved and began chatting with their familiar companions about random things.

"Mmm! This red bean pie is amazing! It's so soft and chewy, and the sweetness is just right!"

The goddess of fate, who had come to join in the fun, only glanced at Kousaka Kyosuke at the beginning before focusing her attention more on the sweets that had captivated her.

Compared to staple foods, she prefers to eat delicate and small snacks.

Nino happens to be particularly meticulous in this regard; she always feels happy whenever she tastes a different flavor of delicious sweets.

Luckily, she's a deity, so she can eat whatever she wants without gaining weight, otherwise that would be terrible.

"Lord of the Goddess of Union, please wipe your mouth." Kasumigaoka, who had always served as the Goddess of Union, handed over a clean handkerchief.

The matchmaker reluctantly accepted it, then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Shiyu, you are free to enjoy the food as you please, don't worry too much about me."

"I want to keep Lord Enmusubi in my heart at all times."

“These words…are enough to make even the gods shudder.”

"I'm sorry, Lady Enmusubi, I didn't expect that I would make you feel so uncomfortable," Kasumigaoka said apologetically.

The God of Fate rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "It would be best if you could take what I'm about to say to heart."

At some point, in the eyes of the Goddess of Fate, Kasumigaoka had become one of her overseers.

Even though what Kasumigaoka said and did was right, shouldn't everyone, whether human or god, be happier?

Living such a restricted life must be incredibly tough!

"Judging from my incredibly accurate and flawless intuition, I think Shiyu is a woman who is extremely prone to indulgence..."

The God of Fate secretly grumbled to himself.

She was telling the truth in her heart, but of course, she couldn't just say it out loud.

Otherwise, it would seem like they were saying something bad about him.

But what Enmusubi said wasn't a bad thing. She meant that Kasumigaoka wouldn't be as restrained by Kousaka Kyosuke as she was.

Even if Kyosuke Kousaka is frivolous, Kasumigaoka still considers it a very good quality.

It's hopeless; love is just so blind.

Similarly, the God of Fate was also somewhat relieved—that he had managed to connect so many kind-hearted girls present with their destined partners.

Even though they're all connected by the same man, the matchmaker god thinks it's still pretty good~

This is true; humorous, witty, and considerate men are always more likely to be favored.

"..."

Sakayanagi Arisu felt a bit conflicted as she chatted with her close friends, such as Kushida Kikyo, Horikita Suzune, and Ichinose Honami.

Seeing that Kyosuke Kosaka only said a few words at the beginning of the banquet before eating, she felt that Kyosuke Kosaka really had a tough time.

Having so many girls he's connected with, and having to take care of them all individually, seems like a very difficult task.

"They also have to be responsible for combat and have to rush to various places to quell chaos from time to time. This is beyond what Superman can describe."

Through chatting with Su Chang, Sakayanagi Arisu discovers that the people Kousaka Kyosuke helps and the places he goes are incredibly complex and diverse.

The underworld, the netherworld, the dream world...maybe I'll go help out in Takamagahara someday.

"By the way, do you need any winter clothes made? I've been asking the embroiderers for advice these days, and my skills have improved a lot. Now I can confidently say that I'm definitely no worse than them."

Ichinose Honami suddenly brought up the matter of clothes.

Sakayanagi Arisu suppressed some of her inner turmoil and said, "Then make one for me. It would be fine if it could be finished before next winter."

When we come into this world, we all learn a lot of skills.

Like a long time ago, Sakayanagi Arisu never knew she could achieve such great success in housekeeping.

At least, her cooking skills are about average compared to others.

“I don’t need that much time,” Honami Ichinose said confidently. “I’ll have it ready for you, Arisu, before this winter is completely over.”
