Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Now that it's spring, shouldn't we get moving?"

Four-leaf clover said with delight.

The energetic voice brought Kousaka Kyosuke back to his senses.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "You can exercise however you like."

"Um, what I mean is, Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Satsuki, come exercise with me!"

"Sorry, Yotsuba, I want to sleep in a little later. I'm already exhausted from finishing all the homework my mom assigns every day."

"I want to continue studying cooking."

"I have no interest in sports."

"I'll just do some abdominal exercises indoors..."

Each of the sisters readily rejected Yotsuba.

The smile on Yotsuba's face gradually disappeared at a visible speed, replaced by disappointment.

After considering for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke offered words of comfort: "How about I exercise with you, Yotsuba? It's just that the schedule is a bit unpredictable..."

“That’s not good—”

"I also want!"

"I also want!"

"I also……"

The sisters who had just rejected Yotsuba readily agreed to her request.

Kyosuke Kousaka blinked; being popular wasn't his problem.

"Well, I'd like to smell Kyosuke-sama's sweat~"

Yihua's face pressed close, her expression one of reminiscence and enjoyment.

Kyosuke Kosaka was utterly speechless.

Seriously, sometimes when Yihua lets loose, she's just as unrestrained as anyone else, giving off a super liberated feeling.

Yotsuba: "Sweat, the smell of sweat..."

Nino: "Thinking about it, I've never really smelled it properly."

Miku: "I want to smell it right now."

May: "Nino? Miku? You guys..."

The topic gradually started to veer off course.

There's nothing Kousaka Kyosuke can do to change things, so that's just how it is.

Another hour passed.

After saying goodbye to the five sisters and spending some time with the other companions, Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura to the North Room.

North House.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka are practicing their moves in the corridor.

Even in loose-fitting workout clothes, these two tall women could not hide their graceful and beautiful figures.

After watching for a while, Kyosuke Kosaka recounted some of the mistakes the two had made.

They only coughed lightly to make their presence known when they were almost exhausted.

"Lord Kyosuke, Lady Kagura!" ×2

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka, who had no idea how long Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura had been there, quickly bowed.

"No need for formalities. I'll tell you about some shortcomings. Listen carefully, and if you don't understand, just raise your hand to ask..."

"Yes!"×2

Then, Kyosuke Kosaka took Kagura to a small pavilion next to the north house and began to talk.

Before saying that, he also tossed a pair of towels to the two of them.

Ultimately, making women sweat while listening to lectures is not a matter of chivalry.

Horikita Suzune is planning to take her in.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't possibly mistreat her.

Kiryuin Kaede?

Kyosuke Kosaka planned to observe her for a while. He felt that this woman didn't seem to be interested in romance, so it would be better for her to work diligently.

If you sleep with any woman, that's just too selfish.

It's better to be with girls who are interested in you.

After explanation.

Kyosuke Kosaka began to seriously and carefully teach Suzune Horikita and Fuka Kiryuin some new martial arts and spells.

It wasn't until noon that Kyosuke Kosaka left with Kagura.

"Phew~ Time for a shower."

Knowing she had reached her physical limit, Kiryuin Fuka couldn't resist and hurriedly walked towards the bath in the north room.

Horikita Suzune followed silently, her mind still preoccupied with the knowledge taught by Kousaka Kyosuke.

For her.

Becoming stronger is a good thing.

She also really enjoyed the process.

With her brother doing well and her own partner now in a relationship, she's thinking about improving herself and becoming more useful.

As long as she becomes more useful, she will definitely be able to see and learn more from Kyosuke Kousaka in the future.

"Another towel has been added."

After wiping away the sweat with a scented towel, Kiryuin Fuka felt much more comfortable.

She used to think about whether she could go back, but now she doesn't even think about that anymore.

At that time, it was simply because even if there were gods, monsters, and evil spirits, they had little to do with her.

The godlike existence gave her a feeling that contact with it would be extremely ominous.

In short, it's like walking on a tightrope.

Even if she enjoys thrills, Kiryuin Fuuka believes it's unnecessary to risk the possibility that her soul might not even be able to attain Buddhahood.

It wasn't until Fujiwara Yukinari brought her here that she truly came to love this era.

What Kiryuin Fuuka likes is the ability to actively control her power.

Even if she were to join the battle to defeat Mount Ooe right now, she would gladly do so.

This will most likely be ridiculed as overestimating one's abilities.

But this real power, obtained through her own cultivation, gave her a strong sense of déjà vu, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

Of course, she still had to remain cautious and careful.

If someone's rudimentary martial arts and Yin-Yang techniques are displayed, they will most likely be seen as a joke by others. If they don't even have a little self-awareness, then they really are just a clown.

The scent of incense seemed to grow stronger, and Kiryuin Kaede's pink eyebrows relaxed considerably.

“…Maple Flower, you don’t really need to show me your unique quirks.”

Horikita Suzune, sensing the increasingly strange scene, looked bewildered.

Seeing Kiryuin Fuuka holding a towel with a contented and enjoying expression was truly a shock to her existing worldview.

Horikita Suzune couldn't be bothered with who liked or pursued Kousaka Kyosuke.

Because it's already difficult to find a good husband in this day and age, there's no need to be too picky.

However, she still finds it hard to accept that a woman with such clearly unusual fetishes would fall for Kousaka Kyosuke...

She only found out today!

"Hey, don't get me wrong, I just had some thoughts on it."

"That's it."

Seeing Kiryuin Fuka's natural expression, Horikita Suzune thought for a moment and decided to trust her for the time being.

She's probably overthinking it.

Day 312 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka specifically consulted a fortune teller to predict the weather for the entire day.

No rain.

So he took Kagura, Yukino, and the others to the shrine.
