Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Day 67 of crossing

Upon waking up, after leaving the master bedroom, Kyosuke Kosaka practiced calligraphy and meditated as usual.

As for the women who were still in the master bedroom, they were resting and wouldn't wake up so soon.

They were all very tired.

"Lord Kyosuke, I've come to wash your face!"

Chitanda Eru, carrying a basin of water, spoke in a clear and energetic voice.

Kyosuke Kosaka stopped writing and smiled at her.

The girl who came into view had a cascade of jet-black hair that fell vertically over her shoulders, and her face was slightly flushed.

They were as energetic as before, yet something seemed different.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't go into details.

Quietly close your eyes and let yourself be manipulated.

I do not know how long it has been.

A gentle voice, perfectly matching the soft movements, rang in Kousaka Kyosuke's ears.

"Lord Kyosuke, I look forward to that day..."

"Then I have to work hard."

With a chuckle, Kyosuke Kousaka understood perfectly what Chitanda meant—he hoped Chitanda would return safely.

Although surprised by her initiative, Kyosuke Kosaka did not refuse.

When he came back last night, he could be said to have seen through all the women clearly.

Even if it's just a fleeting glimpse.

But his eyesight and memory are exceptional.

He could instantly remember the physical characteristics of several women with whom he had no intimate contact!

That's not what he wanted to do.

Kyosuke Kousaka isn't a pervert; he just has an exceptionally good memory.

In short, he didn't hold back.

"I'll take my leave now." After wiping, Chitanda bowed and left with the basin of water.

Kousaka Kyosuke unconsciously looked at her retreating figure.

The young woman's slender waist was shapely and rounded, indicating good health.

It matches my memory.

With this thought in mind, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly thought of Yukinoshita and Shizuko.

These two are indeed quite pitiful due to their slender figures.

Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to encourage them to eat a little more.

As he went outside, he happened to see the two of them pruning eggplant seedlings with Chitanda, and he finally asked them about it.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

"what……"

Shizuko couldn't help but gasp first.

Did your treatment suddenly improve after just one glance at your body?

So Kyosuke-sama isn't picky about food at all!

Wait, she's not ugly, is she?

As if struck by a thought, Yukino's face stiffened slightly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Kyosuke Kosaka remained composed.

"I'm going to the market later, so I just asked. I didn't mean anything by it."

"The master is buying things for the servant..."

"Shouldn't status and position be something that remains superficial here?"

Seeing that Chitanda hesitated to speak, Kousaka Kyosuke interrupted her with a smile.

At this moment, Kirisu Mafuyu, Nino, and Miku, who are still in bed, are sleeping with their master, Fujiwara Kaori.

"Then I want seeds! The rarer the better!"

Shizuko immediately raised her hand happily.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded and agreed.

Chitanda looked at Shizuko, hesitating to speak. Wasn't it about food?

"And you?" Kousaka Kyosuke was already looking at Chitanda.

Chitanda panicked slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...Shizuko and I share the same thoughts."

There's no shortage of food and drink here.

They grow their own vegetables, and have never stopped eating meat.

Millet, rice, and glutinous rice were taken on time, so there was no way we would go hungry.

"I'd like some pastries."

Yukinoshita continued after Chitanda.

She didn't want any trouble.

She hadn't even considered refusing in the first place.

Ultimately, that's not very humane.

Thinking of what Shizuko had said a few days ago, namely, the incident where Kousaka Kyosuke used a waka poem to ridicule a military officer in the street.

She couldn't help but feel indescribable emotions.

If it were her that day...

Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and agreed again.

Then, glancing at the beautiful woman whose body was half-exposed around the corner of the wall, she raised her voice slightly:

"Yoto Hime, I'll just buy any of yours."

After saying that, he headed to the market with great enthusiasm.

Unimpeded journey.

Upon arriving at the location, Kyosuke Kousaka began carefully selecting the items the girls had been looking forward to.

There are still a few days until the retreat, and while it's not appropriate to be leisurely now, there really isn't much to do.

Those who are working hard are working hard, while those who are just going through the motions are just going through the motions.

It's not something he alone can change.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Kyosuke Kousaka trusted only himself.

"Brother, what kind of fur is that?"

"...It looks like mink fur."

The voice that followed the lively and energetic one was now languid, a voice that sounded familiar to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Although he was curious, he didn't pay any attention to it.

However, reality is always so absurd, and the lively and energetic voice was getting closer and closer to him.

"Ah! This mask is so strange!"

The young girl, so happy that she showed off her little fang, whispered beside Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kousaka Kyosuke soon heard a low greeting:

"……grown ups."

"Yes, you should spend more time with your sister."

Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was greeting him, and simply said something under his breath.

Hachiman Hikigaya bowed his head respectfully.

"what?"

Seeing her brother Hachiman Hikigaya's subtle movements, the girl Komachi let out a surprised exclamation that revealed her doubt.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled at Komachi but didn't say anything more.

"Let's go, Komachi."
