Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Hey, why are you shaking so much? Did you eavesdrop just now, sister?"

"No, no, no, no..."

Goto Ichiri stammered.

How could Goto Jiri not know the situation?

"Kyosuke-sama is very nice, he'll play guitar with you."

"Wait... no! Where would a guitar come from in this world?"

"Perhaps they're available for sale in stores?"

"A guitar could never exist in this world!"

"Ichiri Goto doesn't want to get married!" he shouted.

Absolutely not!

She would never contact any strangers.

It's a strange man, how scary!

"Sigh..." Goto Jiri shook her head inwardly, her older sister was too much of a homebody.

Now that they know the cause and the process, they will definitely refuse to leave the room.

Really.

Does this mean I'll have to support my older sister from now on?

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I feel sorry for my sister.

"Erli, Madam Sushang is looking for you."

"Coming -"

Upon hearing her mother's call, Goto Jiri stopped bothering her sister and left without hesitation.

All that was left was a trembling Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri was terrified.

"Getting married... how... how is that possible?"

She doesn't even want to work, let alone interact with society, let alone get married.

That's terrible!

Goto Jiri, who arrived at the door shortly after, was a little stunned.

Because she saw something.

That was what Su Chang was holding—a guitar? No, it was a pipa!

As my sister said, there is no guitar in this world.

"Ta-da~ This is a gift from Kyosuke-sama to Ichiri~"

"That's too kind of you..."

Michiyo was completely bewildered.

The patriarch has already taken action so soon after receiving the news?

"Sister Su Chang, what's going on?" Goto Erri couldn't help but ask.

Su Chang said with a flourish, "I simply asked Lord Kyosuke about the matter of Yili, and Lord Kyosuke tapped me on the head with a 'thud,' telling me not to act on my own."

"Then, Lord Kyosuke said that he knew about what Ichiri was studying in the house, so he asked me to bring him a musical instrument that he bought at the market."

Goto Jiri scratched his head.

"My sister wasn't studying anything in the room, she was just lying down and sleeping."

"Then let's play the pipa! Lying in bed all the time is so boring!"

"I'll have Yili come over to express his gratitude..."

Michiyo was extremely embarrassed.

The esteemed head of the family sent over musical instruments. Although the purpose was unknown, it was still more in accordance with etiquette for the recipient to personally express their gratitude.

"No need. Kyosuke-sama mentioned this before. He said he had heard of people like Ichiri who were not good at meeting strangers, so he told me to tell you not to follow the rules."

"Ah, Kyosuke-sama is so considerate!"

"Yes, he really considers everyone's feelings when he does anything."

Su Chang looked proud.

Michiyo could only accept the apology and silently bow to Su Chang.

"He is indeed a good man. It would be wonderful if Ichiri could be with Kyosuke-sama."

The possibility is rather low.

Michiyo was quite embarrassed that the head of the family had also heard about her eldest daughter's "special" circumstances.

At the same time, the success rate of a relationship between the head of the family and the eldest daughter is being underestimated.

Ultimately, few people are particularly interested in overly shy people.

After giving away the pipa, Su Chang teased the dog and then said goodbye to Michiyo and Goto Jiri.

And then Goto Ichiri got his hands on a very rare five-stringed biwa?

Her stomach started to hurt.

What if we let her perform someday...?

Day 300 of crossing

On this day, Kyosuke Kosaka finally led Yukino toward the shrine, and Kagura, the keychain, was also there.

Similarly, Yukino is always accompanied by Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka.

In fact, Yukino felt very apologetic and extremely embarrassed.

Just because she wanted to go out and see the world, she had two people come to protect her; that's really being spoiled.

However, she understood that Kyosuke Kosaka was doing this for her sake and that he didn't intend to give her the right to object, so she pretended not to know anything.

They assumed that Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka were working together.

At least that's what Kyosuke Kousaka said.

Yukino also thought so.

that's enough.

“There are a lot of children at the Tsuki-no-Kami Shrine. Let’s go to the Enmusubi Shrine to avoid them for a while,” said Kousaka Kyosuke.

"We still have to go and see them eventually..."

Yukino said softly.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka nodded: "Then we need to be mentally prepared. The number of widows with children is staggering, and facing them all at once will be quite stressful."

"Please don't worry, I will be strong."

"Don't be so strong. As the saying goes, 'too much of a good thing can be bad.' Be a little softer and more flexible. If you have any problems, just tell me. Anyway, I'm going to the shrine of Enmusubi first. You guys go ahead."

As he spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke wrapped his arm around Kagura and disappeared.

Yukino, biting her lip slightly and blushing shyly, tried to calm herself down and continued to pretend that Kousaka Kyosuke hadn't said anything romantic.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka are both focused on their inner thoughts and feelings.

Horikita Suzune: "Yukino is the maid who has served Kyosuke the longest, but they're still like they're in the honeymoon phase..."

Kiryuin Fuka: "Is this still the way Lord Kyosuke speaks to his concubine?"

Both of them were surprised.

Hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things.

Seeing that Kyosuke Kousaka chatted with Yukino as if she were a familiar friend, without any distinction of status or hierarchy, they were completely convinced that Kyosuke Kousaka was reliable.

Ignore the distracting thoughts of the two.

Yukino led the two directly to the main hall of the shrine.

Hearing footsteps, Hayasaka Ai immediately looked towards the door and greeted Yukino and the others warmly.

"Ms. Yukino!"

"Just call me Yukino. Suzune and this... Kaede, the three of us are here to check on the situation."

Yukino smiled slightly at Hayasaka Ai, and then took the initiative to introduce Kiryuin Fuka.

As for Horikita Suzune?

Hayasaka Ai knows him; they both live in the Tohoku-ya area, how could they not know each other?

But as for whose status is higher or lower, that's impossible to judge.

At Hayasaka Ai's house.
