Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

As a result, Chitanda opened her eyes, stood up, and helped him get dressed.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't refuse, but he dressed faster and then gave instructions afterward:

"Lie down and rest for a while longer."

He then left after seeing Chitanda lying quietly on the quilt.

Kousaka Kyosuke went outside to the tatami room where they usually gathered.

Previously, Yukinoshita, Shizuko, and Komachi had just entered the master bedroom when Kousaka Kyosuke skillfully lifted them out.

"...Kyosuke-sama."

"Kyosuke-sama!"

The three girls stood up upon hearing footsteps.

Apart from the cat whose fur was being petted by Yukinoshita just now, they were all very well-behaved and obedient.

"They're hungry, I'd like you to get them something to eat."

"Yes." Yukinoshita bowed and then walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll go help right away!"

Shizuko followed closely behind.

Komachi gave Kousaka Kyosuke a pitiful look before leaving.

Because she was pursing her lips, you couldn't see her little tiger teeth.

In the blink of an eye, only a cat, whose very presence seemed to exude loneliness, remained in the Japanese-style room.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't even glance at the cat, following behind the three girls.

He felt he needed to explain.

Put yourself in their shoes.

She thought she was pretty and good-looking, but a man dragged her out of the house.

If he can still feel good, then Kyosuke Kousaka has nothing to say.

He felt that Yukinoshita, Shizuko, and even the younger Komachi were all normal people.

Therefore, we should try to understand them using the same thinking as normal people.

They've all decided to treat each other as close friends and family.

If they continue to act superior and bossy, Kyosuke Kosaka thinks it's best not to provoke them.

It has both affection and desire.

It is what Kousaka Kyosuke likes and pursues.

Since it's difficult to improve one's strength, it's reasonable to focus some attention on girls.

What we should be doing now is improving our social status to make things easier.

He also managed to win over all the girls in the house, ensuring they would have no worries about the future.

Go to the kitchen.

It was very quiet around, with only the crisp "clinking" sound of things being placed.

Kousaka Kyosuke, however, felt that the voice sounded somewhat muffled.

"I fought the monsters of Mount Ooe for almost a whole day yesterday. I couldn't control the balance of Yin and Yang, so I needed to combine them."

"—Ee-ah?!"

A startled scream suddenly rang out.

A brief disturbance ensued.

Yukinoshita, Shizuko, and Komachi all looked at Kousaka Kyosuke as if they were startled.

Perhaps they didn't expect Kousaka Kyosuke to come along, or perhaps they thought there were some kind of demons or monsters.

The faces on their faces were filled with terror and fear.

However, Yukinoshita was the first to react.

So does everyone else.

Upon seeing that it was Kyosuke Kosaka, the panic plummeted to its lowest point almost instantly, before finally disappearing.

"...Lord Kyosuke, you don't need to explain," Yukino said softly, regaining her composure.

"They are still needed. I have no intention of using you as tools, as you are ruthless and without desire."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled, said something, and then turned and left.

Too much explanation is not good.

It's enough to let a group of people know how I feel.

"..."

Shizuko stared blankly at Kyosuke Kousaka, who had left after saying only a few words.

I thought for several seconds before I started to think about it carefully, and then it suddenly dawned on me.

"Lord Kyosuke is saying, 'Be mentally prepared before you do it with him!'"

Got it, got it.

It means the kind of willingness.

At this point, Kyosuke Kosaka clearly believed that the three of them did not meet the standard.

"No, that's not right..." Komachi stammered, her tender little face flushed like a little apple.

"I'm mentally prepared!"

Shizuko remained silent, thinking to herself, "Didn't you realize that Lord Kyosuke still treats you like a child?"

She knew Komachi was cute.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka usually treats her like a younger sister.

Everyone is the same.

It is a mascot similar to the Nine Lives Cat.

"Komachi, you're a few years older, so let's talk about it later," Yukinoshita suggested softly to Komachi.

She didn't try to offer any advice.

She couldn't give Komachi any better advice.

Furthermore, Kyosuke Kousaka has a very unique set of values.

Yukinoshita still had a great deal of trust in Kousaka Kyosuke.

At the same time, I am very curious about this set of values.

I've been observing quietly most of the time...

"I feel like I'm already quite old."

"..."

The scene under the snow was quite chaotic, so I tried to avoid looking at Komachi.

Komachi, who was looking down at her body, panicked and immediately noticed the situation.

"—After all, girls my age are already married!"

"You don't need to have this kind of thinking. You are you, and others are others."

Sensing Komachi's comfort, Yukinoshita deliberately softened her tone and offered a word of comfort as well.

Komachi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Yukinoshita added, "Don't force yourself."

"Should we pack more pork?" Shizuko asked.

A faint blush rose on her cheeks beneath the snow.

"About half again as many as usual... Everyone must be very tired."

She had noticed it inadvertently before.

That means Nino, Miku, and Satsuki eat a lot every morning.

Recently, Chitanda has also been doing this.

It must have been very strenuous.

Everyone has been busy for a long time today...

"Okay!" Shizuko replied readily.

Eating more is the right thing to do!
