Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

It's better to spend a relaxing and enjoyable time.

"...I thought you would let us pass, Captain." Shiina Ritsuki, who was usually quiet and looked rather cold, rarely spoke his mind.

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, not minding Shiina Tatsuki's assessment of her.

"I just think this is not good for everyone's rest. Now is the time to rest, so don't do things that make you feel tired. When it's time to work, you will be able to work more efficiently."

Nagasaki Motoyo covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her demeanor very elegant.

"Does Lixi see the captain as a demanding manager? But you should also know that a smart manager will not let his employees get overworked, otherwise they will not be able to work properly."

Ruoye Mu said slowly, "That statement is even more outrageous."

"You can't talk about the captain like that," Gao Songdeng gently reminded him.

Toyokawa Shoko remained calm, showing no sign of being teased: "Let's go, let's discuss ways to eat fruit with Lady Sushang and everyone else."

There are some fruits that she doesn't recognize very well.

It seems like it would be nice to try it out, like winning a prize.

As for what everyone thinks the situation is?

She is already making gradual improvements.

Sakayanagi Arisu had a detailed conversation with her, saying that if their team continued to work too hard, it would increase everyone's psychological pressure, which might affect the progress of the performance.

Considering the serious consequences of this problem, Toyokawa Shoko has begun to thoroughly reflect on her actions.

She couldn't let her worry about the team being disbanded affect so many people.

"No matter what, I will stay in this band with you all for the rest of my life..."

the other side.

Having already figured out how to make musical instruments, Kyosuke Kousaka turned his attention to his surroundings.

Seeing that Su Chang's place already had people laughing and joking while trying the fruit, and even someone who almost collapsed because they ate a fruit that was too sour.

He was quite embarrassed.

Since researching ways to eat fruit was too monotonous, he thought it necessary to add a little surprise, so he added some.

There were fruits that were too sour and fruits that were too sweet. It seems that Ritsu Tainaka was the first to suffer... Is this cool and capable young lady alright? Haha.

481. Surprise and Reward / Urgent Need for Reassurance

Two quarters of an hour.

Kyosuke Kosaka recreated the instrument through his utmost effort.

He even created some high-pitched and low-pitched controlled instruments based on his memories of symphonies.

They all look quite similar, but they are all different in operation, and each one is quite heavy.

It was actually a bit of a stretch for the girl to go and get it.

"This instrument is too bulky..."

"But if it's not made to be substantial, how can it produce a stable sound?"

Kinara immediately spoke to Kousaka Kyosuke.

These days, she watched as the band members, besides training, spent their time figuring out how to make musical instruments. Having joined in and helped out a lot, she naturally learned a great deal about musical instruments as well.

At least it is clear that only thicker pipe walls can ensure the stability of the music and prevent too much noise.

"No, I was just saying that it's quite strenuous for women to hold this kind of instrument."

"Lord Kyosuke, please forgive my rudeness in explaining the situation—we all undergo physical training regularly, so picking up an instrument like this is nothing special. We've done a lot of physical work before, such as clearing land, carrying water, and pulling carts..."

"Well, I admit I underestimated you."

Upon seeing Asuka, the leader of the brass band, he hurriedly bowed and explained, and Kousaka Kyosuke took back what he had said earlier.

After all, none of the girls he knows have done much physically demanding work.

Like Yukino, whom Kousaka Kyosuke first met in this world.

Even if she wanted to find a job to prove her worth, there wasn't much she could actually do.

Because the place where Kousaka Kyosuke lived before wasn't very big.

Unlike here at the manor.

The place is quite large, and you can find all kinds of physical work whenever you want.

However, due to the surge in population, the biggest shortage of labor is now labor.

The solution is to reduce the workload reasonably as much as possible. Considering that people might cause trouble when they have too much free time, we have been holding a lot of modern team building activities.

Leaving all that aside, through Asuka's words, Kyosuke Kosaka once again gained a clearer understanding of the thoughts of the curly-haired girls in the band.

Upon discovering that the vast majority of these people came from the modern era, Kyosuke Kosaka was well aware that compared to the more refined work of performing, those manual labor jobs involving carrying and lifting were truly hell.

"Now that you've finished everything, let's go to Su Chang's place. As for these musical instruments, you can arrange them from now on, Kinnara."

“Okay, I got it~” Kinara replied happily, then looked at the people who had come to watch Kousaka Kyosuke make his instrument, “Let’s all go eat some fruit~ But be careful, I think I just heard Ritsu yell ‘So sour~!’”

cough.

Kyosuke Kosaka was amused by Kinara's imitation of Ritsu Tainaka's shouting, but he managed to suppress it.

It doesn't seem right for me to make fun of others.

The others either pursed their lips or covered their mouths and laughed.

It seems that Kinnara has already become one with them.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was leading the way, tried to minimize his presence. As he came over, he gradually realized that he might not need to pay much attention to anything else.

"The Xiangzi that Boqi-chan mentioned doesn't seem to be working that hard; he must have changed his ways. I suppose the others shouldn't have too many problems either..."

seeing is believing.

After observing them, Kyosuke Kousaka put aside his concerns and decided to spend some time with his lovers in a relaxed manner.

There are quite a few couples in the band who have confirmed their relationship but haven't really developed their feelings for each other much.

One thing after another happened during this period, and even if Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to squeeze in time, there wasn't enough, not to mention that his top priority was his female partners with whom he had already established a complete relationship.

"Kyosuke-sama, why do you still have sour fruit here?" Kousaka Kyosuke had just arrived when he was forced to face Su Chang's complaint.

Kousaka Kyosuke lowered his head in thought: "Perhaps we didn't pick them well. Besides, it's normal for fruit to have both sour and sweet flavors, right? And I can't possibly taste each one for you."

Well--

Now, Su Chang was certain that Kousaka Kyosuke had done it on purpose.

However, she wasn't angry; on the contrary, she found it quite amusing.

With such a humorous husband, what more could one ask for?

"Can I ask which fruits are not sour?" Kinnara asked Sushang with a grin.

"Choose for yourself, that way it'll be a surprise."

"what?"

When Kinnara heard Su Chang say this, he first glanced at the various fruits neatly arranged on the long table, and then turned his gaze to the others.

"—Actually, almost all of them are sweet; you can barely taste the sour ones," Nakano Azusa, who was standing in front and was "caught" by Kinara at a glance, blurted out in a panic. She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly looked nervously at Su Chang, "Lady Su Chang, I..."

Su Chang raised her hand and patted Nakano Azusa's head.

"It's nothing. What I said earlier was just a joke. Don't take it seriously."

She doesn't have the malicious intent to make others eat sour fruit just because she eats sour fruit herself.

I was just saying it casually.

It seems that Zi is still not used to it at all. Even though she is like a cat, she should at least have a little bit of "wildness".

"Okay, let's eat fruit."

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled, picked up a green apple, and took a small bite.

It's very sour, but still edible.

"Hey, Kyosuke-sama? These green berries are so sour, they're making my teeth fall out!"

Have I lost any teeth? No.

Kousaka Kyosuke and Su Chang chatted intermittently.

Others who hadn't eaten fruit yet started eating fruit that they thought wouldn't be a "disappointment" after being reminded by their companions.

As Azusa Nakano said, most fruits are sweet.

"...So sweet."

Boqi-chan picked up a green apple and started eating it, but unexpectedly found that her green apple... wait? When did it turn red??

Boqi-chan stared wide-eyed at the fruit she was holding.
