Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

It's fine no matter what.

"Leftover men and women" are both quite troublesome.

Therefore, when Kousaka Kyosuke heard the names Hiroi Kikuri and Hoshika, he got a headache.

If these two are really asking for help finding a good husband, they might as well let him go and fight.

Ultimately, matters involving marriage are always complicated and difficult to unravel.

What if I marry someone who doesn't like me? Wouldn't I have to blame him?

Therefore, it's better to get less involved and let them make their own choices.

"It's not just Kikuri and Hoshika, but also Nijika, Ryo, Kita Kita, and the others."

"Oh, so they all want me to introduce them to a good husband, right?"

Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't surprised to hear Su Chang continue speaking.

This feudal era was indeed unfriendly to female time travelers.

As for feminism, let's not even talk about it; people are just happy to have basic human rights.

In an era when the means of production were entirely in the hands of men, one shouldn't expect to receive good treatment.

This principle applies to every country.

Sagiri, who was playing with Kagura, asked softly, "Who are Kikuri and Hoshika?"

"Band members playing instruments..."

Kagura also quietly explained to Sagiri.

Su Chang, who continued talking to Kousaka Kyosuke, looked troubled.

Upon hearing what Kousaka Kyosuke said, she immediately understood that Kousaka Kyosuke had no feelings for Hiroi Kikuri, Hoshika, Nijika, and the others.

"How did you-"

Kyosuke Kosaka was speaking when he suddenly realized the problem.

"Why does Su Chang speak so hesitantly? It's probably quite related to me, isn't it?"

Almost reflexively, this possibility flashed through Kyosuke Kousaka's mind.

The probability seems quite high.

"They've got their eyes on me?"

"Pfft, hahaha—what do you mean, 'take a fancy to'? Hahaha!"

Su Chang was suddenly amused.

Kagura and Sagiri, who were still whispering to each other, were both drawn to the attention.

"Take a fancy to? What do you mean?"

"She probably wants to be with Kyosuke."

"Oh."

Sagiri blinked, not too surprised, but rather finding it quite reasonable.

While chatting with Kagura just now, she learned that the band members actually played instruments such as guitars and basses.

Having some common sense, she knew that these musical instruments did not exist in ancient times, and thus guessed that the band members might have had similar experiences to her.

Even if it wasn't as she guessed, Sagiri thought it made perfect sense.

Since her new husband was indeed a very charming man, it was only natural that other women would covet him.

She was just worried that her husband might forget her.

It seems quite normal that so many wives feel forgotten.

"Kyosuke was chosen because he treated everyone very well."

Kagura suddenly said this to Sagiri.

Sagiri was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood!

So this is ah!

He has no flaws in how he treats his wife, which is why so many women are attracted to him!

"Alright, let's leave this topic at that. If they're still unmarried in a few years, I'll take care of them for the rest of their lives."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and vaguely glossed over the matter.

He knew it very well.

He doesn't consider himself particularly charming, so he's quite certain that the women in the band are just settling for him because they can provide good looks.

This is quite similar to the marriage model in the modern world.

It's similar to getting older and having to get married, so you have to choose a partner whose conditions aren't too bad and whom you find acceptable.

That's probably the situation he's facing now.

Fortunately, Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't a backup option.

Because he felt that the women in the band didn't seem like girls in relationships, but rather the eccentric type.

"Kikuri has fallen so low that all she knows is drinking; she's like a drunkard all day long. Hoshika cares more about her younger sister; she probably hasn't thought about herself. Nijika likes to play the drums and is usually responsible for maintaining relationships among everyone, and incidentally, she does the work of making sarcastic remarks?"

"Ryo usually enjoys maintaining and caring for the musical instruments I make. She often stares blankly at paper, writing melodies. She's probably dedicated herself to music and isn't interested in men. As for Yudai, that name... Anyway, she's definitely a brainless fan of Ryo."

Without thinking, Kyosuke Kousaka recalled all the band members and immediately began to sort out the details of each member.

Because he had figured it out, he understood exactly what was going on.

There was absolutely no narcissistic thought in him.

Ultimately, he was always very realistic.

"Oh, I get it! Kyosuke-sama, you'll take care of them for the rest of their lives, right?"

"Please remember the premise as well."

"If you're still not married in a few years, I know that."

"...I feel like you don't know."

"I know, I know, I have a very good memory, I'll repeat what you said right away—"

Overjoyed, Su Chang obediently became a repeat student.

Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't particularly happy, but spoke with mixed feelings.

Just remember that.

"Okay! I got it~ I'll tell them the good news right away~"

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke silently watched Su Chang disappear like a gust of wind, his feelings truly indescribable.

"Kyosuke, are you unhappy?" Kagura asked curiously.

Kyosuke Kosaka twitched the corner of his mouth: "I'm not upset, I'm just wondering how good Su Chang's comprehension ability really is?"

"Sister Sushang, as long as you relay her words verbatim, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Sagiri said."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I have doubts about whether she can repeat what she said verbatim, but as long as she's happy, that's all that matters. The most important thing in life is to be happy. Come on, let's play cards together."

Now that the decision has been made, he should just move forward and there's no need to dwell on it.

At most, it will just mean supporting a few more people in the future.

As for whether or not there is desire?

Kyosuke Kosaka said with absolute certainty – no.

Whatever, supporting a band isn't a big deal, it doesn't cost much, so it doesn't really matter.

to be honest.

Kyosuke Kousaka felt quite sympathetic towards transmigrators with normal personalities.

If there are no problems, he can help out.

As long as it doesn't involve too much profit, everything is negotiable.

Alright, let's continue playing cards.

No, Sagiri is too close... The soft, squishy touch sends signals to his nerves. Seeing Sagiri unconsciously leaning closer, Kyosuke Kousaka simply hugs Kagura over as well.

Three people can play cards even if they are close together.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Su Chang went to the pavilion where the band often stayed to deliver good news.

"Sure! No problem~ Kyosuke-sama said he'll take care of you for the rest of your lives!"

"Eh?!"
