It has been one week since thewith each other is already a common occurrence in the Mizushi+azes, the servants would even so place to Tsubaki

Kyousuke didn't havewith Tsubaki Tsubaki always appeared where Kyousuke wanted to go and she would talk to hinore her coirl's relentless atteave in and started playing with Tsubaki

It was rather easy for Tsubaki to find out where Kyousuke would go though He always prefered silent and quiet places like his own rooreenhouse

Perhaps because he always looked at hissickly, he was given the impression that a woman was a frail creature This was the reason why he never reacted violently towards Tsubaki

Even if Kyousuke did have a violent personality, Tsubaki already knehen to step back when dealing with Kyousuke so before he could snap she’d already made her tactical retreat

That is why Kyousuke found Tsubaki as annoying, but she never forced hio with her so he was troubled on how to deal with Tsubaki Still, inside his heart, there was no hatred towards Tsubaki

Even though he didn't trust people, he didn't like to be left alone That was how troublesome Kyousuke’s personality was

Different with the Kyousuke in the gaht now had slight distrust of others and was arrogant, but he still lent his ears to Tsubaki

Although it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Kyousuke in the gaative influence, the Kyousuke right noas just a cheeky, obstinate, and slightly arrogant brat

Even Kyousuke didn’t realise that he, the one as always thinking of ways to spend his free ti himself with Tsubaki to the point that he wanted to think of ways to have free time for himself this past week

After he lost his mother, he alished for someone to care for hiht in the eyes

Towards his grandson, his grandfather only thought of him as a successor of Mizushi+ma Their relationshi+p with each other was very far from a faan to distance hi everyday lives together, Kyousuke began to close his heart and distanced hian to live in solitude

But then, in this lonely world here he alone stood, appeared TsubakiShe would always go to Kyousuke's area and talk with hiether]

[What’s in that room?]

[What’s this flower’s name?]

[You know, today’s snack is Mont Blanc Tsubaki is looking forward to it] and so on

Even if Kyousuke tried distancing hi her attempts of social interaction, just like a phoenix, she would come back and talk with Kyousuke every day

He was defeated by Tsubaki’s persistence and he, although unwillingly, played together with Tsubaki This was only an excuse he used on the surface

In fact, deep down in him, he was very happy on how Tsubaki always meddled with hi towards Tsubaki, as related to him by blood and always faced him properly

However, since Kyousuke had the title as the successor of Mizushi+ma, he hesitates to let out his true erandfather, almost every day, told him, ”Men of Mizushi+ma cannot show their real self to others You should always be co able to have fun and enjoy the feeling of excitelad that Tsubaki came into his life

And today too, just like always, Tsubaki was talking to Kyousuke in the greenhouse

“Hey Kyou-chan Do you knohat a Sasabune is?” (TN: Sasabune: ba for a h he never played it, he knew it from a book he once read before

“Then let’s make Sasabunes and have a race with Tsubaki”

“Don’t wanna Why should I play a game that commoners play?”

It was an iht it was easy to deal with a kid Boys h sense of pride so they hate to lose, and that applied to Kyousuke too

“H to Tsubaki huh~”

“HAA!? As if! There’s no way I would lose to you”

“Ehh, you will race with Tsubaki then?”

“… It can’t be helped If you want to so much then I’ll do it”

This was how he acted just with a little provocation

Tsubaki plucked two thin, long leaves that was close to her and gave one to Kyousuke

Taking out a pair of scissors meant for kids, Tsubaki bent the leaf and made holes at both ends

After that, it was coh the hole of the other end

Tsubaki passed the scissor to Kyousuke

Kyousuke watched how Tsubaki an towas still clumsy, he so at them once he can do it too? Impressive Like he said, Kyousuke had never played or atte Sasabune before yet he was able to make one This raised Tsubaki's areenhouse flowed toward outside, the two held their clumsily made Sasabunes and after the countdown, they release the their Sasabune that moved by the river’s streah a part of the greenhouse that lead outside, they can’t chase theone Tsubaki’s sasabune was ahead right?”

“… Again”

“Eeee~”

“I lost because this is the first time I made it Next time is my win”

Even if that ”first ti and he requested a rematch to Tsubaki

Because Tsubaki doesn’t have any reason to refuse, she gladly accepted it

Afterwards, Kyousuke keeps on requesting for a rematch to Tsubaki until he wins

Just how ? Tsubaki was coawa called thereenhouse

“Oi Tsubaki! We continue this to that, Kyousuke ran and went back to the awa said “It is above all that Tsubaki-sa”

On the other hand, the discussion of Yuriko's divorce was going well

At the time Yuriko left the Kurahashi+ residence, Mio and her mother had already left too and had returned to Mio's h was the story behind Mio's mother Why did she choose Tsubaki's father, and why did his father chose her instead of Yuriko? Even though she could just brush him aside, why did she still stick with hi Mio's

About thesedispute between the Mizushi+ that she only knows so one, they could only redirect the trouble towards Kurahashi+ He, as abandoned by his wife and child, became like an empty husk He could only blankly nod at the conditions the current Mizushi+randfather as gone abroad, see back ho was entrusted to Haruki so he has the final say of this

“Thank goodness that Father isn't here If he was, not only would it end in sanctions, but total ruin for the Kurahashi+’s coe froh of relief

Tsubaki was still a little kid so she can’t participate in the conversation, but she was able to grasp the general situation as she was eavesdropping to the story her uncle tell to her mother and Fumiko

Tsubaki decided to not think about theher father anymore If she left it to her uncle, it will only be awas settled

One month passed since they had a Sasabune race Kyousuke slowly accepted Tsubaki in his heart, but Tsubaki felt that it was still lack so
