Even though I am almost 16 years old, I still know nothing about things between men and women.

Leroy felt coy for a while, then cast a look at Anthony for help.

However, Anthony turned his head away, raised his eyes, and looked into the distance, looking like "I don't know anything" and "it has nothing to do with me."

When Leroy saw this, he could only grit his teeth——

"Well... to put it simply, it is..."

She leaned down, put her lips close to Elodie's ear, and bit her ear.

When Leroy straightened up again, Elodie's face flushed red, her eyes were wide open, shocked, shy... all kinds of colors were mixed between her cheeks, as if she knew something terrible.

's secret.

"Hmm...! Master is so perverted..."

Qingdeng: "???"

Inexplicably being denounced as a "pervert" by his beloved disciple... Qingdeng felt both confused and hurt.

If he hadn't been busy chasing Yae, he would have really wanted to rush over and hold Leroy's shoulders, questioning her exactly what she said to Elodie.

…

Yae, who was walking in front of Qingteng, had been deliberately controlling his pace so that Qingteng could catch up with her steadily.

Qingden felt like he was the heroine Alice in "Alice in Wonderland". After going through many adventures and witnessing all kinds of wonderful sights, he finally reached the destination——

"Sheng Qing, Gui'an~Long time no see~~"

In a very inconspicuous corner of the banquet site, a tall woman wearing cyan furisode, an off-white belt, and a veil covering her face was sitting upright.

Another of Qingto's seniors in the New Imperial Palace - the unsmiling Sayaka - stood upright on the left side of the woman.

Having completed the "leading task", Yae consciously stood to the right side of the woman.

The two women resembled two door gods, firmly protecting the woman.

There is only one person in the world who would call Qingdeng "Sheng Qing"...

Qingdeng smiled while sitting cross-legged directly opposite the woman.

"Your Highness, Gui'an. Just now when the witches came forward to perform the dance, I was wondering if you would dress up as one of them. After all, you are half a witch."

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, Tianzhangyuan responded angrily:

"How is that possible!"

"Don't look at how many big shots are coming to your wedding. Many people there recognize me."

"If I dress up as a witch and perform a dance for you, it will cause chaos in the world."

"Also, what does 'half-miko' mean? I am a professional miko!"

"In order to play the role of Mi Yi in 'Moon Palace Shrine' well, I studied hard."

[Note·Ni Yi: The third-in-command of the shrine. The ranks in front of him are ‘Palace Secretary’ and ‘Gonggong Secretary’.]

"My 'miko quality' is very high."

"If you really ask me to dance for you, I won't lose to those little girls who just took the stage."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will show you my hand."

Qingden spread his hands:

"Then I won't wait with any expectations."

"Give me hope!"

After the two chatted for a while, Tianzhangyuan's facial expression gradually softened.

"Sheng Qing, congratulations to you. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, that young man who was still young back then is now married and has a big family."

"Although I don't know those three girls very well, but since they can make you fall in love with them, they must be very good girls."

"You must cherish them!"

After Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Listening to your tone, why do you sound like an 'old mother who saw her beloved son finally get married and start a family'?"

Tianzhangyuan curled his lips:

"In terms of age, although I can't be called your mother, I can still be called your sister."

At this point, she paused.

When she spoke again, her tone was full of emotion.

"If you think about it carefully... I am really incompetent as a sister."

"As the older one, you should protect the younger ones."

"But in the end...as the "younger brother", you often came to protect me and support me."

"In short, I wish you a happy wedding! Being able to witness your grand wedding with my own eyes makes me come all the way from Edo in vain!"

Facing the sincere congratulations from Tianzhang Institute, Qingdeng smiled again - this time his smile was full of gratitude.

"Your Highness, thank you. To be honest, I am very happy for your visit."

"Hahaha, you're flattering me. I'm not a very extraordinary person. To put it bluntly, I'm just an ordinary woman with no other redeeming qualities except for my identity and title."

The two people, who always make jokes every time they meet, rarely have a serious conversation.

However, their serious conversation did not last long... Suddenly, Tianzhangyuan raised his hand to cover his red lips, and chuckled softly.

"Hoo ho ho~ Sheng Qing, look at how impatient you are. Are you impatient for tonight's 'wedding night'? What a pity, it's still broad daylight, and there's still some time before the sun goes down.

"

"..."

"Why don't you speak? At this time, shouldn't you refute me fiercely?"

"Because I have predicted what you are thinking. If I refute it in a panic, I will definitely suffer further ridicule from you. In this case, it is better to admit it frankly and express my acquiescence without saying a word.

"

"Ouch... That's not cute. I was expecting to see you at a loss... Then again, you are really 'frank' enough to admit so bluntly that you are looking forward to tonight.'

Wedding night'."

"As long as you are a normal person, it is impossible not to be interested in the 'wedding night', right? Isn't it hypocritical to say that I am not looking forward to the 'wedding night'? I don't want to be such a hypocrite. My

One of the tenets of life is to face your inner emotions openly and honestly."

"What you said... is so convincing..."

After saying that, Tianzhangyuan waved his hand.

"Okay, I've finished saying 'Happy Wedding' to you personally."

"I won't bother you anymore. You should be quite busy now, right? After all, there are so many familiar guests here."

"If you stay here all the time, I'm afraid people will notice me and find me."

Since Tianzhangyuan said so, Qingdeng didn't hesitate much. After nodding lightly, he slowly stood up.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. Enjoy today's feast. The reason why I spent a lot of money to hold the wedding banquet in such a luxurious and grand manner is to ensure that all the guests can return home with a happy heart. I wish you a happy day."

Tianzhangyuan smiled slyly:

"Then... I wish you a wonderful and exciting night."

Qingden Wan'er:

"If this can be done, that would be great."

After leaving these words, he stopped staying any longer and turned around to leave.

Tianzhangyuan stayed where he was, staring straight at Qingdeng's retreating back.

I saw that his facial expression slowly underwent subtle and meaningful changes, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and also seemed to be imagining the future, which was complicated and difficult to describe.

Even though Qingdeng's figure had disappeared at the end of her field of vision, she did not look back for a long time.

After a while, she whispered softly at a volume that only she could hear clearly:

"It's so good to marry the one you love..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a faint look of envy flashing in his eyes...

…

…

It's night——

Qinjin Fan, Dajin, Judi——

As the lord of a feudal clan, Seito should live in Otsu Castle.
