Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Yes, Kyosuke Kousaka is a despicable pragmatist.

Yukino probably never imagined that when Kousaka Kyosuke was comforting himself, he would be thinking about so many very real issues.

She looked intently at Kyosuke Kousaka.

"I am very grateful to you, Lord Kyosuke. I am afraid I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime."

"you……"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Yukinoshita with slight surprise.

Yukinoshita, who was originally filled with complex emotions such as sadness, gratitude, and attachment, opened her eyes wide and stared at Kousaka Kyosuke, as if waiting for him to speak.

My heart was beating exceptionally fast.

Yukino didn't know if she was expecting anything.

Or rather, what exactly are we expecting?

Kousaka Kyosuke pondered for a moment and then slowly said:

"If you're planning to repay this kindness in your next life, I'll really admire you."

With her eyes still wide open, Yukina stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

What is this talking about?

Isn't this the time to say goodbye?

Why did you suddenly change the subject?

56. Initial information channels for entering the Yukino route/era

About ten seconds later.

Finally regaining her senses, Yukinoshita exhaled a breath that sounded like surrender.

"Lord Kyosuke, I didn't mean that."

"It's actually quite good to have it."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

Yukino immediately replied, "No!"

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head without saying anything more.

He couldn't tell whether feelings of gratitude and appreciation could turn into love.

But he had his own ideas.

I personally prefer to be with women who like me.

He wanted to avoid situations where Yukinoshita's gratitude was too strong.

After defeating Ooeyama, wouldn't it be better if feelings developed naturally over time and things progressed smoothly?

If you're in a hurry, there's no need to rush.

It would be better to comfort the three sisters who tend to overthink things during normal times.

Nino is delicate, Miku is sensitive, and Itsuki is innocent; each of them is rather fragile.

Therefore, we need to pay more attention to it.

Despite his limited energy, Kyosuke Kousaka wisely chose to invest emotionally for a higher return.

"...Anyway, I won't change." Yukinoshita, who couldn't figure out what Kousaka Kyosuke was thinking, said seriously.

A blush appeared on her delicate face, which exuded a cool and aloof aura, like the blush of a peach blossom.

Yukinoshita is very stubborn.

Ever since I made up my mind to wear that unspeakable, indescribable thin gauze dress.

She was determined to be Kyosuke Kousaka.

She was not forced; it was her own choice.

Therefore, there was little hesitation in making an emotional commitment!

"Come, write some characters with me. Your handwriting reflects your personality, and I want to get to know you."

"……Um."

Yukinoshita responded and obediently walked over to Kyosuke Kousaka and slowly sat down next to him.

The elegant and understated nature of Chinese characters

"You come and I leave, I feel utterly lost. Is it a dream or not, like sleeping yet not sleeping?"

Kyosuke Kosaka's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart was beating as fast as it had when Yukinoshita had been waiting for him to speak.

No, it's much faster!

After finishing writing under the snow, I put down my pen.

Kyosuke Kosaka quickly picked up the brush, which still retained a trace of warmth.

Write at an extremely fast speed!

"My heart is shrouded in darkness all night, confused and unaware of the truth. Is it a dream or not? The world will judge."

The font is sharp and forceful.

Every stroke seemed to be executed with great force, possessing a sharpness like a knife or sword!

More than just sharp!

And so flamboyant!

Still so enthusiastic!!

Yukino looked down at the words.

The blush that had just faded rebounded at an incredibly fast speed!

Like the blush of the morning sun, the color quickly and delicately tinged her fair neck and small, lovely earlobes, making them appear moist and lustrous.

"Didn't you say it was okay?"

A thought flashed through Yukinoshita's mind.

She clearly wanted to make things clear before Kyosuke Kousaka was defeated, but Kyosuke Kousaka gave her evasive answers.

It's only a casual attempt to test the waters...

"Practice your calligraphy again."

"……it is good."

Yukinoshita responded again, her mind far more confused than before.

I barely knew how to start the conversation; I just tried my best to write neatly.

Half an hour passed.

Yukinoshita left, and as she left, she noticed that Kousaka Kyosuke seemed to quickly put away the two pieces of paper.

His breathing quickened under the snow.

An intense, indescribable, and electrifying emotion, like an electric shock, swept through my entire body!

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly put the papers away.

Thinking to myself that this time I've truly entered the Yukino route.

He himself cares about this quite a bit.

Because of his keen senses and the fact that he may have obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.

If the female partner's feelings are not strong enough.

My own desires aren't actually that strong.

soon.

Following the snow, other women arrived one after another, whispering among themselves.

Kyosuke Kosaka kept trying to comfort him.

It was past noon.

Kyosuke Kosaka then went to the government office to prepare for his business.

The scars on my hands also reappeared.

After all, it's not convenient to show it at home, so it has to be hidden to avoid attracting the attention of others.

These days, dealing with thugs who have injured officials is no problem, even if they're covered in bandages.

"The law stipulates that if any five or more nobles residing in the capital commit a crime, the Emperor's approval is required before they can be arrested."
