Ah, ah, ah, what am I even saying!!!
My master only told me to hint at the son-in-law, how did I blurt out my true feelings?!!
Reisen now just wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. No, if her master found out what she had said, she probably wouldn't even need to do it herself.
Nangong Yu was also full of shock.
No, are we going this big on our first meeting?
"Th-that, I-I didn't mean that, I was..."
Clearly wanting to salvage the situation, Reisen stammered nervously, but unfortunately, she mumbled for a long time without managing to say a complete sentence. In the end, she could only lower her head, get out of the car, and then come to his side to open the car door for Nangong Yu.
Seeing her withdrawn appearance, Nangong Yu couldn't bear to say anything more, only casually asking, "By the way, do you know Yonglin?"
Hearing this familiar name, the previously withdrawn Reisen suddenly looked up, surprised, and replied, "Do you know my master?"
If the son-in-law truly knew her master, then wouldn't the princess be safe from being bullied?
"No, I've only heard of her."
Waving his hand, Nangong Yu said no more and walked into the courtyard before him.
Although the courtyard was located in the outskirts of the city, this area was mostly filled with such luxurious estates, so the security was quite robust.
Upon entering, he was greeted by an exquisitely designed courtyard. Stone paths were laid on the ground, forming winding passages. Further ahead was a traditional Japanese-style building connected by corridors, with a hip-and-gable roof, deep eaves, and highly recognizable elevated floors.
As he was admiring the scenery inside, Reisen quickly stepped forward to stand in front of him.
"I'll take you to the master bedroom; the princess is waiting for you there."
"Master bedroom?"
Go directly into the bedroom??
"Y-yes, is there a problem?"
"...No."
Reisen breathed a sigh of relief and began to lead the way for Nangong Yu.
Sir, this way!
Nangong Yu, following behind, silently dubbed for Reisen.
To save time, Reisen did not go through the main hall but instead directly crossed the stone path and walked up the stairs to the corridor.
"Does this courtyard have a name?"
Walking leisurely, bored, Nangong Yu asked.
"Hmm... yes, although the princess hasn't moved here for many days, she seems to have already named this place. I remember it's called Eientei."
"..."
One coincidence after another made him realize that this was indeed the Kaguya from his memory.
However, judging from the situation along the way, there was a high probability that no supernatural powers existed, and Kaguya also did not possess that bug-like power of eternity and instant.
Soon, Reisen stopped.
"The princess is inside. I won't disturb you further."
Reisen bowed slightly to Nangong Yu, then stepped back a few paces and turned to leave.
Before him was a Japanese-style room, not small, and Nangong Yu stood before its exquisitely carved wooden door.
He took a step forward and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
A clear and pleasant voice sounded from within the room. Nangong Yu placed his hand on the doorknob and gently pushed the door open.
...
"This humble one is not talented; please guide me in the future, my husband."
The Japanese-style room was simply and elegantly furnished, with nothing superfluous apart from a table, a desk, and a few cabinets. On the comfortable tatami mats, a black-haired girl in a kimono was currently kneeling respectfully before Nangong Yu, bowing to him.
"You should sit up."
He didn't judge the merits of such behavior; he was simply unaccustomed to such etiquette.
He bent down, intending to help Kaguya up, and hearing his voice, Kaguya slowly rose, supporting herself with her hands.
At this moment, Nangong Yu finally saw Kaguya's appearance.
How to describe it? Although he had seen photos, seeing her in person still filled Nangong Yu with astonishment.
Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her soft face was delicate and pretty, carrying that unique Eastern charm, as gentle as jade yet as vibrant as a flower. Her blinking eyes were as lively as water, making one unable to help but be captivated.
Just by looking, everything around them seemed to quiet down.
Noticing Nangong Yu's slight daze because of her, Kaguya's lips curved into a faint smile.
She sat up straight and moved closer to Nangong Yu, tilting her head slightly and slowly pushing aside the strands of hair from her forehead with her fingertips. A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks. She looked directly into Nangong Yu's eyes and slowly said in a voice as clear as a nightingale's, "Husband, am I beautiful?"
Nangong Yu did not answer, but his silent attitude already conveyed much.
Kaguya's smile became more pronounced, and then she tilted her head, showcasing her swan-like neck, and slowly closed her eyes.
Looking at this yielding posture, Nangong Yu's Adam's apple bobbed.
...
"It truly is a strange feeling."
She lightly touched her moist lips with her fingers, and her eyes shimmered with autumn waves.
To be honest, the current situation was much better than Kaguya had anticipated. She didn't dislike this gentle possession.
After all, she had already placed him in the position of husband. Her upbringing since childhood made her not believe there was anything wrong with doing such things. In fact, even if Nangong Yu were more eager and completely took her for himself, she would consider it reasonable.
Kaguya had always had the utmost confidence in her appearance.
Nangong Yu, unaccustomed to kneeling, sat cross-legged opposite her. To be honest, it was indeed a little awkward right now. It was their first meeting, and he hadn't even spoken yet, but he had already taken her first kiss, which was completely beyond his expectation.
Then, Kaguya picked up the teapot and poured Nangong Yu a freshly brewed cup of clear tea.
"Please have some."
"Thank you."
Nangong Yu had just thanked her and taken the teacup when he heard Kaguya casually say, "Husband, you seem very skilled at what just happened."
Although he was very skilled, Kaguya could clearly feel that her husband, like herself, had not yet experienced 'that kind of thing.' Moreover, after seeing the schemes within large families, her husband's personality seemed as pure as a blank sheet of paper to her.
This truly was drawing the best SSR; the faint fear of the arranged marriage also dissipated at this moment.
Nangong Yu's hand holding the teacup trembled, almost dropping it.
Nonsense, practicing on Seele every day, how could he not be skilled?
However, he couldn't respond to that, so Nangong Yu simply pretended not to hear and quietly drank his tea.
Kaguya didn't mind and began to guide the conversation.
First, they chatted about their simple backgrounds. Once she felt her husband was more relaxed, she delved into deeper topics: "Husband, do you have anything you want to do in the future?"
"Something I want to do? That would probably be making games."
Without much hesitation, Nangong Yu spoke directly.
"Games?!!"
Kaguya's eyes lit up. What a coincidence, she liked them too.
"Yes, although I say that, I'm actually already working on one. I even participated in Saint Freya's mini-game festival before."
Since she was his fiancée, Nangong Yu didn't hide much.
"Oh? I also know a little about these things. Could you tell me about your game, husband?"
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Kaguya tightened her toes in anticipation.
"Hmm, it's a story-driven pixel game called "to the moon.""
Kaguya: "?"
