Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Yui, who was pulling Yukino along, said enthusiastically, "Yumi, Yumi~ Let's play together~"

"No need, we..."

Yumi, who had instinctively wanted to refuse, suddenly shut her mouth and looked up to ask for the opinions of the others in the group.

To be honest, Yumi was still wondering whether she should follow Su Chang, who was busy with something.

After all, it can't be just a few people playing.

This is bound to be boring—mainly because Youmei isn't very good at leading a team; she usually just leads a few little followers around.

"I want to play hide-and-seek!"

Goto Jiri immediately raised his hand.

Tamaki said, "I still want to play house!"

Hinata said, "I want to play the role of a mother!"

“Ah…why don’t I play the mother?” Yui Yuigahama suggested.

Yukino, standing to the side, was completely speechless. "Why are you so excited?"

She couldn't help but look at Su Chang and the others who were chattering and busy.

Seeing that Su Chang was already leading the group to the courtyard, carrying various baskets of vegetables and fruits, I knew that the group was preparing for lunch.

The group of people, who don't usually cook, planned to work together to prepare a meal.

Yukino naturally planned to temporarily take care of the children, including Yumi and Natsumi Goto, along with Yui Yuigahama.

"Playing house? I haven't played that in ages!"

Yotsuba also eagerly came over.

Yui Yuigahama looked at Yotsuba with sparkling eyes: "Great! Let's be moms together!"

Clover responded, "Okay, okay~"

Xue No: “…”

Yumi: "..."

Seeing that Yotsuba and Yui seemed happier than the other members of the group, Yumi, who had been silent, finally felt the urge to make a sarcastic remark.

But in the end, I managed to hold back.

Seeing Yotsuba still acting so childish, Nino looked helpless and said, "How embarrassing."

Ichika said with a smile, "As long as you're happy."

She pretended not to care and kept an eye on Kyosuke Kousaka out of the corner of her eye, trying to figure out when she would be with Kyosuke Kousaka today.

Although there were many people today, she still believed that Kyosuke Kousaka would manage his time well.

Even if we can't be alone together, it's still great to have a chat.

"Wait a minute, I still need to take care of Mother in May's place..."

Then Ichika remembered other important matters.

My mother, Lingna, is nearing her due date, so naturally I have to take care of her constantly.

Fortunately, the mother had five daughters.

Taking turns looking at the photos without interruption is so easy!

As for the maids from outside?

Ichika and her other younger sisters were still a little worried.

"Ah, I really want to cook."

Unwilling to be replaced, Nino muttered to herself again, glancing at Kyosuke Kousaka.

She felt that cooking for her husband, Kyosuke Kosaka, was a very happy thing.

She often saw Kyosuke Kosaka savoring the food very carefully, which always melted her heart.

"Oh dear, if you're feeling restless, try practicing calligraphy like Miku."

"I am not practicing calligraphy."

Miku, who was writing something, said to Ichika.

Ichika immediately became curious: "What are they doing?"

She leaned closer to take a look.

Seeing the large "福" (good fortune) character written by Miku, he looked puzzled.

"I want to make lanterns, so it will look lively at night," Miku replied.

Ichika said, "Be careful with fire."

In this era, buildings were made of wood, so a fire could spread to a large area.

History books also record many major fire incidents.

Naturally, Ichika wasn't worried about the fire situation here.

Knowing that a protective barrier had been set up in the sleeping quarters, Ichika was definitely not worried at all about a fire breaking out there.

"Don't worry, the paper you're writing on is fireproof and has been specially treated."

"This is just ordinary paper—"

Halfway through her sentence, Ichika suddenly realized something and gave Miku a look that said, "You ran away again?"

Nino read the expression and couldn't help but purse her lips, wanting to say, "This is nothing, right? Besides, Ichika, you've clearly done it the most times."

The five sisters were too lazy to argue with each other anymore.

Since everyone is sneaking out, it's the same as not sneaking out at all.

The truth is, it's not a big deal if someone sees that Kyosuke Kousaka is free on weekdays and just hangs out with him.

In the end, Kyosuke Kousaka still had plenty of time to spend alone with each person.

lantern?

He had been paying attention to the Menreiki around him, and a slight tremor ran through his heart.

She gradually lost interest in masks, even reducing the time she usually spent making them, until she finally lost interest altogether.

If it's a lantern with a blessing connotation, then that's acceptable.

"What's wrong?" Kousaka Kyosuke, who was chatting with his companions Toyomi and Hiromi next to him, took the opportunity to ask Menreiki in a low voice.

As a partner who needs the most care, he must have paid close attention.

Menreiki didn't hide anything: "I want to make lanterns."

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed: "It just so happens that I know how to make it. I'll teach you."

Miku had intended to make this before, so how could he not be proficient in it?

Moreover, he had been interested in Kongming lanterns before, so he naturally learned some lantern-making techniques.

How about we just make Kongming lanterns?

Never mind, this is a bit too eye-catching.

"By the way, Shizuko, do you know any interesting lanterns?"

Kousaka Kyosuke simply asked Jingzi.

While eating snacks, Shizuko exclaimed happily, "I know how to make a lantern that spins automatically!"

When she was little, her grandfather liked to teach her to make all kinds of handicrafts.

This gradually sparked her interest in various farming tools, and she even began to actively study them.

"A lantern that spins automatically!"

Chitanda's eyes lit up.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt the entire room flicker.

Upon closer observation, he noticed that everyone in the mother's room was once again focused on him.

It seems he really is the main character.

Night fell.

The streets of Kyoto, which are usually not crowded at this time of day, are now teeming with people.

Having already said goodbye to his partners, Kyosuke Kousaka arrived near Rashomon and quietly waited for the situation to unfold.

“Menreiki really wants to come along.”

Kagura suddenly said something.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "She's no good. Although her special abilities are good, her ability to protect herself is very poor."

In terms of manipulating souls, Menreiki is probably among the most powerful in the world.

After all these years of being a monster, this is what she's been doing.
