Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Now, it's probably going to be hard to keep it a secret any longer.

In particular, he continued to equip and equip everyone with weapons...

"Lord Kyosuke, what kind of enemy is this?" White Wolf couldn't help but ask.

Yaodao-hime spoke first: "There should only be sea monsters at sea. I used to deal with sea monsters when I worked for the Genji clan. Some of them were indeed very troublesome."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's preliminarily confirmed that it's a siren. I'll tell you more details when Suyi and Sushang arrive."

Not long after, the two sisters, dressed in plain clothes, arrived, and Kyosuke Kosaka began to talk about the possible things that might happen.

"Oh! No wonder Kyosuke-sama bought so much iron, and often spends time at night making equipment..."

Su Chang suddenly realized.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "The matter of iron and equipment has to be done anyway, it's just a matter of sooner or later. As for the probability of these enemies appearing, I feel it's about 60 or 70%, which is quite high."

Su Chang immediately patted her chest in assurance.

"Even if they come, we'll kill them cleanly. Besides, the sea monsters' strength will always be somewhat reduced once they're on land..."

"That's hard to say. We have to consider the numbers. If there are thousands of them, and they know how to use combined attacks and also know sorcery and magic arrays, then it will be quite difficult to deal with them."

"Hmm, a thousand of them are really troublesome... If I run out of energy, I might die."

"So I've been making a lot of medicine to quickly restore physical strength and injuries during this time, but it's too early to talk about it now. I just hope you're mentally prepared. Eru and Shizuko, you two won't be able to come as often then."

"Okay, Kyosuke-sama."

"Yes, I understand, Lord Kyosuke."

After briefly recounting some events, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to throw a small party.

It's somewhat necessary to liven up the atmosphere.

Just do it!

The woman in plain clothes, who had initially remained silent upon hearing about the enemy, narrowed her eyes to slits, and the intoxicated look on her beautiful face intensified.

The demon princess and the white wolf, who seemed to be still pondering how to defeat the unknown enemy, were completely routed.

Chitanda: Only scratching the surface. Shizuko: Put in more effort. Susou: Evenly matched…

In the end, Kyosuke Kousaka hugged Kagura.

It gives off a strong sense of "saving the strawberries for last in a strawberry cake".

Well.

Shizuko, lying on the soft straw mat, secretly peeked at the scene, muttering to herself.

"Kyosuke-sama still has some principles, but upon closer inspection, something seems a bit off."

Seeing Kagura sitting in Kousaka Kyosuke's lap, being half-embraced and moved back and forth by Kousaka Kyosuke, her little face dizzy, Shizuko felt a great sense of incongruity again.

"They had a lot of unusual tricks up their sleeves, but they did manage to satisfy everyone."

Shizuko thought to herself again.

Chitanda, who was standing next to her, had already closed her eyes, not daring to look any longer.

She is still a little shy.

The two sisters, Suyi and Sushang, one peeked furtively, the other stared wide-eyed...

Yaodaoji and Bailang were more in sync; they both sat down cross-legged and dutifully began to recover their strength.

Overall, everyone's spirits were lifted thanks to Kyosuke Kosaka's lively atmosphere.

By afternoon.

Kousaka Kyosuke gently comforted Kagura and Susou, then took the manuscript to show Shiranui alone.

Originally, he was going to bring Kagura along, but her rosy cheeks made it really hard for Kyosuke Kousaka to bring her.

social death.

Kyosuke Kousaka is still very afraid of encountering it.

Location: an outlying island.

Using the flame that Shiranui had given him, Kyosuke Kousaka was able to contact her.

"This is the manuscript. Kagura, Aoandon, and I all wrote it. Three of them are our own, and the other one is a story we pieced together. Take a look."

"Ok."

"You can sit and watch."

Kyosuke Kosaka conjured up two more chairs.

A smile appeared on Shiranui's beautiful and charming face as she took the manuscript.

"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness."

"There's no need for such polite words. You know I wasn't very eloquent during those three days."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

During the three days in the illusionary world, aside from initially paying attention to Shiranui, after buying her, Kousaka Kyosuke planned to take Kagura around to travel.

Thanks to the magical artifact, the Cloud Mirror, the illusionary world created was indistinguishable from the real one, allowing Kyosuke Kousaka to thoroughly enjoy himself.

He doesn't need any time management at all; he's basically letting himself go.

"Ah……"

Shiranui couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Kousaka Kyosuke saw her smiling brightly, he could vaguely see some signs of life in her, and he felt that there were not so many barriers between them anymore.

Thinking back to his first marriage to Fujishikibu, Kyosuke Kousaka felt like he had become a pile driver.

It's quite rewarding to get Fujishibu in good shape.

Could it be that Shiranui is next?

No, Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't try to flirt with just because a woman is pretty.

Otherwise, it would be no different from a stallion.

No matter what, there has to be a process of getting to know each other, right?

Unless it's the traditional marriage model of this era, Kyosuke Kousaka would choose to pursue Yukino in a slow-burning way.

"The cherry blossoms are dazzling, but their beauty will eventually fade in April..."

Suddenly, Shiranui slowly recited a waka poem.

Kyosuke Kosaka scratched his face, and after Shiranui finished reading, he said, "This is a waka poem by an unknown poet, not one I composed."

He will absolutely admit to plagiarism and the like.

To avoid any misunderstandings.

Kyosuke Kosaka knew all too well how shameful it was to copy poems and waka in that era.

Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize this frequently.

In case something goes wrong one day and you want to disappear without a trace, you don't want to be trapped inside.

“It sounds beautiful,” Shiranui said.

"Yes, I think so too."

"Could you read it to me?"

"Sure, it's not a difficult thing."

Kyosuke Kousaka readily agreed to Shiranui's request.

Then, Shiranui placed the manuscript on the chair, weighed it down with a seashell, and began to dance.

As Kousaka Kyosuke read it carefully, he pondered Shiranui's thoughts.

"Does this mean they consider me a close friend? Probably."

"Anyway, it's best not to overthink it. If you can't tell, just leave it as it is."

In her eyes, the bright charm between Shiranui's eyebrows and eyes, which were graceful and elegant as she danced, gradually overflowed with her movements, and her slightly parted red lips seemed to move lightly with Kousaka Kyosuke's chanting.

After the dance ended, Shiranui's restrained smile gradually blossomed again.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, you're just reminiscing about that feeling of freedom."

"Yes. Actually, I was just thinking that I wish I could have heard this waka poem sooner."

"Isn't it too late now?"

“…Yes.” Shiranui paused, her eyes brimming with tears, and gazed at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kousaka Kyosuke wore a smile on his face, but he was completely bewildered inside.

He would never cross the line with a woman who has a reserved personality.

To avoid losing face.
