Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Well, this is the kind of girl he likes—a girl with personality.

after awhile.

Chitanda prepared the dish with a happy expression on her face.

Kousaka Kyosuke watched from behind as she occasionally stamped her foot in a little hurry and tapped her finger in a thoughtful manner, feeling a sense of peace.

Having a wife who always unintentionally acts cute is a very happy thing.

Moreover, he has more than just a wife who can act cute.

The first thing that came to mind was... Su Chang.

Then, a faint trace of Su Chang's aura lingered not far away.

Kyosuke Kosaka was easily amused and waved in a certain direction: "Come on over, can we still keep busy during lunchtime?"

"Kyosuke-sama——"

A cheerful call mingled with a fragrant breeze.

A pretty and charming girl with brown hair rushed to Kousaka Kyosuke's side.

The girl was Su Chang.

"Kagura~ Shizuko~"

Su Chang, who had just arrived, greeted Kagura and Shizuko with high spirits.

Kagura and Shizuko also responded.

"Sushang."

"Lady Sushang".

"Hehe, I couldn't resist coming over because of the delicious smell..."

"Eru, make another dish."

"Okay~"

Chitanda, who was still preparing the dish, replied cheerfully to Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Don't just stand there, sit down," Kousaka Kyosuke said to Su Chang.

Su Chang smiled and happily agreed, then sat down.

Shizuko, who was already used to seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"Lady Sushang is definitely the one who's most attached to Lord Kyosuke. It's like she has a radar installed on Lord Kyosuke. She always manages to pop up whenever Lord Kyosuke has a free moment..."

As for whether they were secretly following him?

Shizuko had never thought of that.

Because in her mind, Su Yisu and the other members of the Qin family were very well-behaved in every way.

In any case, the Qin women whom Shizuko frequently encountered and asked for help at the manor all behaved in a very formal and rigid manner.

The same applies to simple, unadorned clothing.

I've never done too many things that were out of line.

If I had to say anything... well, it would just be playing around with everyone.

For example, they like to discuss private issues that they're unsure whether or not they constitute harassment.

Shizuko expressed that she had suffered greatly as a result.

"Lord Kyosuke, how's the research going?" Su Chang suddenly asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "The problem has been basically solved."

"That's great! This will make future food production more secure!"

"Indeed, this is a joyous occasion; we should celebrate tonight."

"Shall we call everyone together to celebrate?"

“…This is good.” Kousaka Kyosuke answered while tears streamed down his face.

Why are you crying?

I'm definitely not sad and crying because I can't have a party.

How to put it? He wants to throw a party, and no one can escape his clutches.

So, that's definitely not the reason.

They didn't even consider the feelings of others.

"Lord Kyosuke, why don't we do it secretly at night? We can set up a barrier then." Su Chang seemed to have seen through Kyosuke's thoughts and said softly.

Kagura nodded in agreement: "That solves the problem."

Kyosuke Kosaka covered his eyes, unable to bear the "good idea" the two had proposed: "Don't do this. There's plenty of time. I'd be overjoyed just to sleep with you two in my arms."

Shizuko, who was observing from the sidelines, silently continued to reassess the amazing aspects of Kyosuke Kousaka.

What's amazing is that Kyosuke Kousaka always has something to hold back.

"When everyone gets together, they're often asked to stay overnight, and usually everyone sleeps on the floor in the mother's room. Because Kyosuke-sama hasn't confirmed his relationship with anyone yet, no rooms have been arranged... that's probably the reason."

As Shizuko spent more and more time with Kyosuke Kousaka, she gradually realized that Kyosuke treated other people in a very special way.

Especially the servants.

Shizuko noticed that Kyosuke Kosaka was quite respectful to most of his servants.

"Respect" does not refer to being on equal footing, but rather to consciously considering the self-esteem of others.

It's not obvious in public and is hard to spot.

It's quite obvious in private.

Needless to say, this applies even more to those close to them.

How could Shizuko, as the person involved, not know?

Therefore, one can be fairly certain of guessing the whole story.

Of course, Shizuko still had to admire her husband for having such strong desires, who would refrain from taking actions that would greatly benefit himself because of "small" concerns.

Kousaka Kyosuke himself gently pressed down on Su Chang and Kagura's heads, especially beginning to reassess Kagura's mental state.

"The plot of that short film almost happened in real life? I'm not going to be the male lead."

Kyosuke Kousaka's mind is still normal.

At the very least, they believe that they need to manage their relationships with women in the ambiguous stage well in order to be able to throw a bigger party.

Such as Yang Nai, Irisu Fuyumi, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and others.

These women are all still single.

We'll meet up every now and then to slowly build feelings, since they're all rather slow to warm up.

Uh... not really, Hiratsuka Shizuka isn't too slow to warm up.

She would often do all sorts of strange things that even Kyosuke Kousaka sometimes found hard to understand.

It's basically an expression of affection.

Kosaka Kyosuke will definitely accept it.

In short... once I've completely quelled this, I'll further adjust my relationships with these women.

There's no rush, we can take it slow.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't feel the need to be in a hurry.

In his view, the best relationships are those that develop naturally and spontaneously.

For example, Yukino.

It's not that the other couples didn't develop naturally, it's just that their affection levels rose very quickly, to the point where it was time to make a move, so Kousaka Kyosuke naturally didn't hesitate.

Unlike Yukino, who, once she reached a certain level of affection, hesitated about getting together with him.

Kyosuke Kousaka was very patient with this.

In the end, it was swallowed clean.

The sense of satisfaction was indescribable.

Kyosuke Kousaka likes it very much.

Naturally, Kyosuke Kousaka, who is known for his "quick-burn" type, also loves it.

There's no need to mention Kagura and Susho who are standing next to them.

"I am truly a sinful man..."

Kyosuke Kousaka ultimately sighed inwardly.
