Kihara Fuyumi POV

I had my bridal and marriage lectures and it wasn’t music to anyone’s ears especially mine, Okāsama notice that I was just partially listening so she asks questions on intervals I answered two right and when I answered wrong on the third question she got mad and scolded me, and as punishment for not listening she gave me a brown pill…I have no idea what this is and she warned me not to asks questions to our doctor what it is, she told me to eat it later after lunch and I am scared what this will do to me, Okāsama is one for harshly giving punishment, as well as painful surprises.

“…” I stared at the brown pill hoping that it would melt whilst staring at it

“Nēsan?” Kaoru-kun called out while I sighed “Is something troubling you?” he asked

“W-Well” were sitting beside the Koi pond, this place was built for me, I don’t really remember why though but I feel very relaxed here and Yin and Yang my two big koi fishes adds to the relaxation I can even pet the two along with Taro, he can freely roam around here as well, Taro is the only horse that they let out here since this part has been specifically for me. But again I have no idea why they build this place for me. “I’m just a little troubled as to what will happen to me when I eat this brown pill Okāsama gave to me” I said grimacing at it

“I doubt Asami-san would give anything harmful to you Fuyumi-nēsan” he reassured

“Thanks Kaoru-kun” I sighed and patted his head “How’s the reading going?” I asked

“Well I still don’t understand some characters, but with your help Fuyumi-nēsan I can understand it” I smiled at him

“Well Kaoru-kun when you’ve memorized all of the characters and can read that book I gave you then we can move on to writing okay?” he nods

“N-Now, I should”

“Fuyumi-sama” I almost dropped the pill on the ground Mochizuki-san’s sudden appearance startled me which I don’t commonly react

“What is it?” I said looking at him with an annoyed expression

“I-I’m sorry if I startled you” He says bowing Kaoru-kun beside me was snickering I flicked his forehead in my annoyance “but Asami-sama has sent you a message that you should eat the pill that she has given you”

“I was getting to it when you showed up Mochizuki-san” I sad frowning at him

“My apologizes” he bows his head

“…” A gust of wind blew in our direction I stared at Mochizuki-san since he isn’t teleporting away, Kaoru-kun continued reading beside me while he was just kneeling down waiting for my orders “Mochizuki-san do you have something more to report?” I asked

“U-Um well” he started “I don’t want to sound rude for requesting this Fuyumi-sama but, c-can you please call me by my first name?” he asked I gave him a questioning look “W-Well, I don’t want Fuyumi-sama to trouble herself so much speaking my full surname s-so” I gave an amused look at him

“That’s not a problem but, you shouldn’t be so nervous around me I’m not going to eat you, you know?” I pointed out “You keep stuttering like you’re going to do something wrong, well even if you did do something wrong the worst possible thing I would do to you is scold your ears off” I said “But I would never harm you guys since your already putting your lives on the line for us, and you being here is formality” I sighed “even though we can protect ourselves just fine, so relax yourself you won’t be able to protect me or Kaoru-kun here if your too nervous to be around us especially me” I told him
