Sei Shonagon instinctively took out a folding fan from her sleeve and covered her face.

"You could say that. In previous years, everyone would worship the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Many women would write their names on paper, hang the paper on tree branches, and silently recite their wishes in order to pray for their wishes to be fulfilled."

"Actually, most people are praying to meet a good partner. Also, at night, the palace lights are kept burning all night to guide the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to their reunion. I do this every year..."

Suddenly realizing that she had made a mistake in her nervousness and started talking about the wrong time, Sei Shonagon simply began to recount past events.

I'm just always a little embarrassed.

What's being said so far seems a bit like a confession.

Call ~

Boqi-chan relaxed a little.

She seemed to have never expected that a meal could lead to something so heavy.

Suddenly, she wondered if she had been too irresponsible!

"It seems that Lord Kyosuke is encountering political trouble. Now I should be doing my best to support him!"

What was she doing just now?

They thought that as long as they didn't hear about this kind of thing, the trouble would disappear.

This kind of self-deception is absolutely unacceptable!

For a time, Boqi-chan was caught in a vortex of self-criticism.

When she finished eating and was about to take a shower, she was still in a state of endless inner conflict.

Until.

"Sister, let's scrub Kyosuke's back together!"

"……what?!"

While tidying up her clothes, Pochi-chan stared blankly at her younger sister, Goto Jiri.

Goto Jiri, on the other hand, had a serious expression on his face.

"Kyosuke-sama likes to have his back scrubbed. I heard that everyone has had their backs scrubbed for him, so it's normal for us to join in."

That's what she said, but that's not what Goto Jiri really thought.

"My sister clearly likes Kyosuke-sama, but she hasn't done anything about it. What a failure!"

As for making Kyosuke Kousaka actively pursue Pochi-chan?

Goto Jiri had considered this possibility.

However, she felt that Kyosuke Kosaka would never do such a thing.

Judging from the current situation.

Goto Jiri believes that Kousaka Kyosuke still likes his older sister, Pochi-chan.

The problem is that she seems to have a very gentle personality and cares about other people's feelings.

So it's understandable that Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't take any action because he didn't want to scare his older sister—after all, she's too big and might be frightened.

That's why someone like her, who provides support, is needed at this time.

"...Is this okay?"

Boqi hesitated for a moment before asking.

As expected, my sister likes Kyosuke-sama!

Goto Jiri screamed inwardly, but her little face tried her best not to show any gossip that would make her older sister panic.

"Of course! I'll talk to Sister Moeha, and she'll be giving Kyosuke-sama a back scrub today..."

"Oh no, wouldn't that mean I'd stolen hers—"

"No way! Sister Mengye has always been looking forward to this kind of thing happening!"

Goto Jiri trotted off to where Moeha was changing clothes.

Pochi-chan, who raised her hand to try and stop her sister, was dumbfounded.

Gradually, she began to wonder if she had done something extraordinary.

"What, what should I do?"

"I don't have any experience."

"What if the wiping doesn't feel comfortable? Would it be useful to commit seppuku as an apology?"

For the time being, Pochi-chan ignored the option of retreating and began to worry about whether her service would make Kousaka Kyosuke happy.

From beginning to end, she hoped that Kyosuke Kousaka would be alright.

Not long after, Pochi received confirmation from her sister, and her heart began to pound.

I was completely tense.

In a daze, she stepped into front of a man who exuded masculine energy, sitting down with his back to her.

Boqi-chan started to panic.

"Sister, let's start~ Hehehe!"

Goto Jiri took the lead and demonstrated for Pochi-chan, rubbing Kosaka Kyosuke's back with a single gesture.

"Thank you very much, waiter."

Kousaka Kyosuke, shirtless, smiled and thanked Goto Jiri.

My inner thoughts are incredibly strange.

"Poch-chan hasn't fainted from fright yet?"

"Lord Kyosuke, you're too kind. It's our honor to give you a back rub!"

Goto Jiri spoke with Kosaka Kyosuke with considerable composure.

Finally realizing what was happening, Pochi-chan busied herself wiping Kousaka Kyosuke's back.

The seemingly moderate force finally allowed Goto Jiri to completely relax upon witnessing this scene.

Hey.

What a miracle!

Many people who were secretly watching were quite surprised.

It's not surprising that people were shocked.

“Poke-chan is special.”

Sei Shonagon asked in a low voice.

Xiangzi replied in the same tone, "Yes, she's a good girl."

"Every single one of them here is one, Xiangzi is keeping us in suspense again."

"She is a good girl who needs everyone's care and protection."

Fujishikibu whispered something to Kaori.

Sei Shonagon blinked.

"That's a more accurate way of putting it."

She didn't have any particular opinion about Boqi's timid and hesitant behavior.

She was just curious why Kyosuke Kousaka treated her so specially.

However, there's no need to delve too deeply into this.

Now, all we need to do is help this fragile girl.

In fact, this is quite good.

"This is really a wonderful place."

Sei Shonagon secretly praised him.

She had said this sentence to herself countless times.

Because this bedchamber was truly the best place she had ever been in her life.

Her bedchamber was filled with the people she loved, as well as companions she also liked very much.

You could live like this for the rest of your life without any problems!

However, this is not something that can be done easily.

With a sigh in her heart, Sei Shonagon silently pondered how to resolve the potential troubles that Kousaka Kyosuke might be facing...

Day 442 of crossing

Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura and Kinara out early in the morning.

They left earlier than Su Yi and Su Chang.

The location is the location of Dajiangshan.
