So much the better.

stomping on...

Kyosuke Kousaka stepped forward step by step.

As he walked past the outer courtyard, he noticed that several more kinds of vegetables and fruits had been planted there.

A gentle breeze blows, and the green leaves sway, making a clear, rustling sound.

Familiar things stirred a warm feeling within Kyosuke Kousaka.

That's it.

He slowly stepped into the Japanese-style room where they usually gathered.

Under the lamplight, a group of beautiful women knelt and waited.

A vivid and beautiful scene was frozen in Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes as he met a series of pairs of eyes that were all looking at him.

Some are charming and shimmering, some are moist and radiant, some are spirited like a stream, and some are bright and heroic...

Tonight will be busy.

"I'm back," Kousaka Kyosuke muttered to himself as he smiled.

"Welcome back~"

Fujiwara Kaori said with a smile.

There was no tearful rushing over.

The three sisters, who are more sensitive, or the innocent Komachi and others, all had teary eyes and red rims.

"The new house isn't finished yet, otherwise it would be much more lively," Kousaka Kyosuke said casually as he calmly sat down in the main seat.

Fujiwara Kaori chuckled lightly: "It will be more convenient for each other to come and go then."

She vaguely guessed what Kousaka Kyosuke meant.

She had just secretly asked Yaodao-hime.

Even when he was in the military, he wasn't very well-behaved; it must be because his desires were too strong.

It's best not to suppress this situation.

The new house is built in the "Shinden-zukuri" style, where each room in the main house's sleeping quarters is equipped with sliding doors that connect them to each other.

This would make things much more convenient.

Fujiwara Kaori was delighted that her husband's wish was so easily fulfilled.

"It's best to go and check it out when it's being built, otherwise you'll always feel uneasy if you're not satisfied."

"Well, I'll leave it to you all then."

Fujiwara Kaori, who was unable to go out, smiled and looked at the others.

Those who were being teased immediately backed away.

After all, Fujiwara Kaori's teasing can be quite unsettling...

"I'll go to the inner room to prepare, and you two can have a good chat."

After saying a few more words, Fujiwara Kaori voluntarily withdrew from the main event.

Kousaka Kyosuke, still seated in the main seat, had mixed feelings.

Excluding the nine-lived cat that sleeps all the time and is still sleeping now.

The combined strength of Yaodao-hime, Kirisu Mafuyu, Nino Miku Satsuki, Yukinoshita, Chitanda, Komachi, and Shizuko is quite formidable.

"Come here, Komachi, let me wipe your tears."

Seeing that Komachi still had tears in her eyes, Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and waved.

"Kyosuke-sama——"

Komachi opened her arms and lunged at Kousaka Kyosuke.

The candlelight seemed to flicker in response to the sweet voice calling out.

Kousaka Kyosuke vaguely saw the bright, gleaming canine teeth again, and his lips felt slightly numb.

Even so, he still smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the small tears on Komachi's tender little face.

After doing all that, he looked at the others.

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll share some of my experiences in the military!"

Miku, who had initially felt a little envious, had bright, sparkling eyes, as if several star-like diamonds were shining.

want to hear!

"Because it's a bit cruel, I'll try to keep it simple. You can add some details about Yoto Hime occasionally."

"I... don't need it."

Yaodaoji's expression froze for a moment, and after hesitating, she politely declined.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't mind and started talking about what had happened to him.

They also mentioned Ayanokoji and Hikigaya.

One of them is Shizuko's older brother.

One of them is Komachi's older brother.

It would be unreasonable not to say anything.

“I just saw my brother, and he looks even stronger than before,” Jingzi said.

Kyosuke Kosaka explained, "The food for the people who went to the game was pretty good."

Komachi nodded earnestly in agreement.

"I felt like my brother was even fatter than when we left..."

"They need to eat a lot to have the strength to fight, because the monsters have a lot of energy and can fight for several days in a row without getting tired."

"Amazing!"

Komachi, who hadn't heard much about yokai (supernatural beings), couldn't help but be amazed.

Judging from how much weight my brother has gained this time, I know the monster must have a lot of energy, otherwise it wouldn't be able to eat so much.

"I heard they're still eating rice," Miku said, having learned some things from Shizuko and Komachi.

Kousaka Kyosuke nodded.

"Yes, it is probably because some people ate these meals that they were able to live on with greater determination."

“I’m also very curious about ‘Spider Cutter’,” Miku asked again.

curious?

Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but look at Chitanda.

Even though it was unintentional, Chitanda still noticed it.

Her large eyes instantly overflowed with a tender and shy charm.

The girl first instinctively turned her head away like a startled fawn, then immediately turned it back on her own and nodded vigorously...

"..." Kyosuke Kosaka tried hard to keep his lips from twitching.

At the critical moment, he quickly answered Miku's question:

"The Spider Cutter is a weapon I made from the corpse of the earth spider I killed before. It consumes life force when used and can enhance one's senses, but it has a relatively large side effect."

"However, there are some exceptions. Shizuko and Komachi's brother just happened to use the kind that only requires them to eat more to replenish their energy."

Miku was immediately filled with admiration.

What an amazing weapon!

“There must have been a lot of food to eat. The loss of weapons and ingredients alone must have been enormous,” Nino couldn’t help but chime in.

Miku kept asking questions.

She's starting too!

Even if I'm not particularly interested in these things.

"Speaking of food, I found this in a monster's cave." As if reminded, Kyosuke Kousaka conjured something out of thin air.

It was a slender, graceful plant.

The plants are adorned with small, golden, heavy, round, and plump fruits, which are particularly eye-catching.

"Is that a rice stalk??" Shizuko rushed over reflexively.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply handed it to her.

Shizuko thanked him and accepted the gift, while Chitanda couldn't help but scoot over and peer inside.

Yukinoshita looked on in surprise.
