"And you need to comfort her..."

Sei Shonagon's worries lessened considerably, and her eyes became strangely bright.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I was just worried you'd be concerned. Alright, I'm going now."

"..."

Sei Shonagon stared blankly as Kousaka Kyosuke left, several question marks rising in her mind.

Finally, he couldn't help but look at Xiangzi and Fujishikibu.

"Kyosuke-sama does sometimes stay in his room alone to think about things, and occasionally he reflects on his actions."

Xiangzi explained that she didn't seem too worried on the surface.

She was used to this kind of thing.

It's normal that Sei Shonagon doesn't know this now that she's only recently married into the family.

"...Is it related to me?" Sei Shonagon asked hesitantly.

Fujishikibu then spoke:

"This is Kyosuke's own situation. He has always been working to mend his own mindset, and your correction is not wrong at all."

Occasionally, Fujishikibu would also hear Kousaka Kyosuke say things like that he was too greedy.

Then Kousaka Kyosuke would ask her if there was anything she needed to correct, and Fuji Shikibu always said no.

Because the fact is that it doesn't need to be corrected.

Unless Kyosuke Kousaka did something wrong.

Things like liking innocent girls are nothing at all.

As long as you are serious about the relationship, willing to take responsibility, and both parties agree with each other, that's enough.

"I see. Well... I'll have some tea. Thank you, Yui."

Sei Shonagon gradually relaxed, and then looked at Yui Yuigahama, who was standing blankly not far away.

"Lord Noko, please."

Yui Yuigahama hurried to serve tea to Sei Shonagon.

Sei Shonagon gave a soft "hmm" and took the tea from the tray.

Noticing that the teacup was noticeably larger than usual, she was rather speechless. "Yui actually took it seriously?"

Xiangzi also noticed this scene and found it amusing.

"Yui, since you have so much free time to come over, I'll teach you some waka poetry~"

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama stared blankly at Kaori.

Xiangzi said, "There's no need for servants here. Since you're willing to come, I'll teach you some things."

"No, no, Mrs. Xiangzi..."

Yui Yuigahama reflexively refused.

Xiangzi said, "That won't do. Just because you can read doesn't mean it's over, so let's continue learning!"

"..."

Yui Yuigahama's mouth was slightly open, her face completely blank.

Is it impossible to escape the fate of going to school even in this world?

Time flies.

Around noon.

Yui Yuigahama, who had stayed in the bedroom for a meal, was still a little dizzy.

The knowledge of waka poetry that Xiangzi taught her was like a foreign language to her; she almost developed a fear of waka poetry.

terrible! !

"No, I don't want to go there again tomorrow..."

Yui Yuigahama muttered to herself, her gaze unfocused.

She doesn't mind doing any hard or dirty work.

But she really didn't want to learn things that seemed impossible to learn!

"Hey, Yui, it looks like something terrible happened to you."

"...Arisu, I'm fine, really fine, I'm perfectly fine."

Upon seeing that the person greeting her was Sakayanagi Arisu, Yuigahama Yui's tense body relaxed.

"Yui doesn't have anything to do, does she?"

"No, I'm free. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, it's just a small gathering. Why don't you join us? You might be pleasantly surprised."

Sakayanagi Yusu said with a smile.

Yui Yuigahama, who quickly regained her composure, looked on with curiosity.

"What is it?"

"You'll know once you go; it'll benefit you for a lifetime!"

Sakayanagi Arisu maintained her mysterious demeanor.

Yui Yuigahama was immediately attracted.

"Okay~ I'll be right there~"

she thought.

If it's something interesting, she has to tell Yukino in detail.

Yukino is currently busy taking care of her mother who is about to give birth.

Therefore, Yui Yuigahama always hoped to bring joy and surprises to Yukino, who was probably bored at the moment.

"If it's convenient to answer, could you please ask how things are going with Lord Kyosuke?"

"He is reflecting on himself, and he believes that reflection is beneficial to his self-improvement."

Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment and then said it simply.

She felt it was better not to go into the specifics, so she simply gave a vague and concise summary.

As for concealing it?

Yui Yuigahama believes this is unnecessary.

Yukino had warned her about it.

In other words, as long as it doesn't involve personal privacy, you can talk to other companions about it.

Which "companions"?

Knowing full well what was going on, Yui Yuigahama didn't dare to think any further.

She felt a little like retreating into her turtle shell for the time being.

"Lord Kyosuke is truly an amazing man."

After pondering Yui Yuigahama's words for a moment, Sakayanagi Arisu offered this assessment.

Yui Yuigahama responded with a soft "Mmm."

After all, she had witnessed Kousaka Kyosuke's amazing abilities firsthand.

"what……"

Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.

Following Sakayanagi Arisu's gaze, Yui Yuigahama immediately spotted several people dancing in the fishing hall area.

"Over there are Lady Fumino, Mafuyu-neechan, and Miharu-neechan."

"I knew it was them, but I never imagined their dance moves would be so graceful—"

"Hey hey hey..."

Yui Yuigahama gave an unnatural smile.

Because, the moment Arisu Sakayanagi finished praising her, Fumino collapsed in a sorry state, causing Mafuyu and Miharu to collapse as well.

"Will everything be alright?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked with concern, and was about to step forward.

Yui Yuigahama said, "Arisu, you forgot, the entire inner quarters are protected by a protective array."

"Oh right, I forgot about that..."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled sheepishly.

At that moment, she realized that Yui Yuigahama, who appeared gentle and weak, was actually quite thoughtful.

Even when faced with urgent matters, they don't panic or lose their composure.
