Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

They even went to great lengths to boost their favorability with the royal family.

"Mrs. Fujishikibu knows so much!"

Komachi looked at Fujishikibu with admiration.

Chitanda and Satsuki had the same expression as Komachi.

“My father once told me these things, and I just happen to remember them now.”

Fujishikibu nodded slightly to the group.

Fujiwara Kaori couldn't help but look at Fuji Shikibu with an expression of admiration.

She is rather reserved and finds it inconvenient to express her emotions.

All I can say to myself is, "He truly is the idol I've always admired!"

The heated discussion was soon brought to an end.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke decided not to take anyone to the Water Department Office again.

Let's put the manor matter on hold for now.

Let's just stay home quietly with our partners.

Fumino and Chika have only been in the house for a short time, so I should spend more time with them.

I felt a little lonely under the snow just now...

After thinking for a moment, Kyosuke Kosaka gave a "secret signal".

Upon seeing the "code," Yukinoshita blushed slightly but still followed Kousaka Kyosuke into an ordinary room in the sleeping quarters.

The side room is located some distance from the fruit and vegetable courtyard.

However, one can still see the lush courtyard where various flowers and vegetables grow.

Considering that Yukinoshita might overthink things, Kousaka Kyosuke didn't pull the door shut.

"Do you want to help?"

"...We still need to have people to do the work in the bedroom."

"It's okay, I'll use the spirit to help you. You can do what you like."

Upon hearing that Yukinoshita did not deny it, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but smile happily.

After almost half a year of treatment, Yukinoshita is at least not this awkward in front of me anymore.

"...Thank you, Kyosuke-sama."

Yukinoshita bit her lip, her long eyelashes trembling.

Her cheeks, which had just regained their composure, gradually flushed red again, and her gaze kept darting away...

“Yes, there’s no need to be embarrassed,” Kousaka Kyosuke advised again. “If you’re happy, I’ll be happy too.”

Thinking back to when I first transmigrated, I was given a Yukinoshita character within the first ten days or so.

It was originally intended to be used as a subject of observation.

But as time goes by, feelings naturally develop.

Especially when Bao Yin was frustrated by the political situation at that time.

He was very grateful that Yukinoshita was able to comfort him while wearing rather embarrassing clothes.

Kyosuke Kousaka was also very grateful to Kaori Fujiwara for her help...

If it weren't for Fujiwara Kaori.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't actually know if he would continue in this relationship.

From a young age, he studied more Buddhist and Taoist knowledge.

Taoism's practice of refining essence into qi, Buddhism's practice of observing the white bones...

Learning them one by one, cultivating a pure and desireless mind is really simple.

As a result, with Fujiwara Kaori taking the initiative, Kousaka Kyosuke discovered that the valve could not be closed.

Fortunately, Kyosuke Kousaka is not one to force women to conform.

Therefore, he did not become someone he himself despised.

He should be thankful for that.

Well, in short, we absolutely cannot let this continue...

"Are you free tonight?"

A question, tinged with an unnatural tone, suddenly rang out.

Kyosuke Kousaka's mind went completely blank.

A burning sensation suddenly arose from nowhere, rapidly stimulating every cell in the body.

calm down!

Stay calm!

No, being too calm will only make things worse!

In that critical moment, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly had a lot on his mind.

Is the "Third Poverty Alleviation Plan" finally about to be launched?

No, now is not the time to think about that.

In a fraction of a second, Kyosuke Kosaka quickly began to think about how to answer in a way that would allow things to proceed smoothly.

Everything else, the rest... put them all aside for now!

I've had some free time these past few days, which is the perfect time to spend with Yukinoshita.

After making love to her, spending some time with her wasn't too much trouble.

Once the honeymoon phase has passed a bit, the level of affection will likely remain at its peak.

—At one point, Kyosuke Kousaka was constantly thinking about various solutions.

Finally, in the second after asking the question under the snow.

He answered.

"Yes, I am. If you're free, I am too."

"...Um...I'm free, Kyosuke-sama."

"I'm free too."

"……Um."

Yukinoshita nodded repeatedly, seemingly oblivious to any problem with the reply.

Kyosuke Kosaka remained silent.

He watched as the face beneath the snow turned bright red in just a few breaths.

Her small ears were also bright red, making her very cute.

At this point, he wondered if he should take his leave.

"...Then I'll take my leave."

"...I'll see you off."

Yukinoshita stood up respectfully, as always.

A moment later, Kyosuke Kosaka left the room, escorted by the snow.

Watching Kyosuke Kosaka gradually disappear, Yukinoshita silently returned to her room.

While we're at it, let's pull up the shoji screens too.

"...What was I just doing?"

Yukinoshita's lips twitched slightly as she muttered to herself.

His expression was somewhat dazed.

Thank you?

Are you grateful?

wrong.

Yukino shook her head to herself.

Perhaps some are, but not all of them are...

"...I give up."

Yukinoshita muttered something under her breath, as if complaining.
