Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

As a result, the mother's bedroom in the palace became much quieter.

Call ~

For some reason, Komachi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The way Sagiri smiles scares me... She's exactly like my older brother from a few years ago who had something called chuunibyou."

Komachi was starting to wonder if something was wrong.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but go and see her brother, Hachiman.

Today, Hikigaya is resting, and he is following the example of Kyosuke Kousaka by spending time with his several wives.

Komachi found Hikigaya and watched from afar as he fished with a cute silver-haired "woman" at the fishing hall... then quietly retreated.

Hey~

Komachi, with her excellent eyesight, witnessed her brother playing happily with a boy named Saika, and her feelings were extremely complicated.

"My brother is a coward!"

Komachi thought to herself, "She's planning to go find her mother again."

Komachi visited her other sisters-in-law almost every day.

Since today is the day when the older brothers take turns accompanying them, Komachi definitely doesn't want to disturb them.

As a result, they encountered Hiratsuka Shizuka on the road, who was carrying a piece of cloth.

"Sister Jing."

"Oh, it's Komachi. Are you going home?"

"I want to go home and see my mom and my future younger siblings~"

"What a good child! You'll surely grow up to be a wonderful older sister," Hiratsuka Shizuka remarked.

Having lived here for some time, Hiratsuka Shizuka has become increasingly relaxed.

Aside from occasionally glancing at Yui Yuigahama, a student working at home, he was too lazy to go outside.

Because this place is indeed a very suitable place to relax.

In addition, getting to know each and every companion inevitably requires spending a lot of time on socializing.

Overall, Shizuka Hiratsuka adapted very well.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Jing~ Hmm—Does Sister Jing want to have some clothes made?"

"Yes, sometimes you should learn to make a beautiful garment. What do you think of the colors and pattern?"

"That's great! Jing-jie, what kind of clothes are you going to make with it?"

"Wedding dress!"

“Wedding dress...it’s so beautiful. Komachi wants to wear a wedding dress someday too.”

Unbeknownst to her, Komachi had fallen into a subtle reverie.

Because she had not yet had a formal relationship with Kyosuke Kousaka, she felt that she had not officially married Kyosuke Kousaka.

Furthermore, Komachi sometimes still fantasizes about having a small wedding.

It doesn't need to be big; just a few witnesses will suffice.

That would be true perfection.

But it's still quite inappropriate in this world...

"Don't worry! Just tell me if you want to wear it, and I'll make one for you!" When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw Komachi's innocent face, she reflexively softened and couldn't help but give her a guarantee.

Komachi was slightly embarrassed: "...Thank you, Shizuka-neechan. I'll tell you when that day comes."

"Haha, then I'll put it on first!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The thought that she was ready to get married made her so happy she almost flew away!

She got married!

She got married!

"Well then, Sister Jing, may I take my leave now?"

"Goodbye."

Hiratsuka Shizuka generously extended her free hand, shook it, and said goodbye with a smile.

Komachi waved her little hand happily and continued walking towards the house in the east wing.

As they approached their lodgings, Komachi ran into Hinano coming out of another house—it was normal for Komachi's parents to run into Hinano's parents since their houses were next to each other.

"Komachi? Going to see your mother?"

"Yes."

"Then there's no need to go back. Our mothers and Aunt Reina are having a women's gathering."

"Wow, the Expectant Mothers' Association is amazing!"

"Let's not talk about that, let's take a walk together~"

With a smile, Yang took Komachi's hand and walked forward without saying a word.

Compared to her younger sister Yukino, Haruno also likes Komachi very much.

It wasn't because of her fiancé, but because Komachi's personality was very endearing. However, it was precisely for this reason that she was loved by her fiancé and by everyone else.

"Huh huh huh~~"

Komachi, holding hands with Haruno, hummed a melodious tune happily, appearing quite relaxed and natural.

Yang Nai sighed, "Komachi might as well just be my little sister."

"Okay~ But Haruno-neechan can't forget Yukino-neechan either."

"Huh? Now that you mention it, does Komachi like me or Yukino?"

"This is a very profound question, it's stumped Komachi—hmm, hmm, I've thought it over, Komachi likes both of them!"

"What a cunning answer."

Yang chuckled lightly and didn't continue to ask Komachi any more difficult questions.

Ultimately, don't normal people tend to prefer those who have known them for a long time?

They walked and talked.

Hino and Komachi arrived at a quiet little garden.

The garden is planted with clusters of wisteria, whose vibrant blooms make the surrounding scenery even more enchanting.

The two sat on a stone bench, chatting idly.

Since both of them were married to Kyosuke Kousaka, they ended up talking about him without even realizing it.

"You must have run into your sister Shizuka earlier, right? She's really excited about getting married. What are your thoughts on getting married? You can tell me if you don't want to tell anyone else, okay?"

"...I really want to marry Kyosuke-sama."

"So you're the kind of person who wants others to witness and bless you, right?"

Haruno discerned some of Komachi's thoughts.

She was quite clear about it.

As modern people, isn't it normal to want a formal process for getting married?

"Eh……"

Komachi opened her mouth, but suddenly couldn't speak.

Yang Nai chuckled: "Leave this to me. How can we let the person involved speak up about something like this? It's better for me, the third party, to help put it out there."

"Third party... Sister Yang, your wording is quite ambiguous."

"It's not exactly ambiguous."

Yang Nai looked amused.

She believes that she did indeed interfere in her sister's relationship.

While it's normal in this era, it still made her feel a little guilty.

Calling her a "third party" is absolutely correct.

"—No! You don't need to tell me all this..."

Suddenly, Komachi realized what was happening and quickly began to explain.

She didn't want to bother Kyosuke Kousaka, and she especially didn't want Haruno to stand up for her and cause Kyosuke Kousaka to have any thoughts about her.

"It's alright, Kyosuke-sama won't mind this. What he minds most is that you don't love him."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Komachi firmly denied.
