At Hakuyou’s harem, the court ladies gushes, “Ah..It’s
really quite beautiful, lady princess consort..!” Yuulin is all dressed up and
accessorized as she wears an off-shoulder dress with see-through long sleeves.
Blushing Yuulin says that this is Sogyoku’s current fashion. “This type of
outfit..is kind of..”
The court ladies exclaim that it suits her. Yuulin thinks
that in the end, wearing this kind of clothes makes her feel embarrassed...
Yuulin says that this is quite fine so she’ll change back to her usual clothes.
Her aghast court ladies exclaim in shock and asks, doesn’t she plan on showing
it to His Majesty!? “Besides, there is also not much opportunity...”
Yuulin sweetly smiles at them and says that she would rather
want to think of how to write a letter back to Princess Ruka in order to
properly thank her. “...I cannot keep calm while wearing this.” The flustered
court ladies ask what to do.
Narration: “The reason why I, Tei Yuulin, is suddenly
wearing that, is because, Haku Ruka, His Majesty’s aunt who got married off to
the neighboring country of Sogyoku had delivered this gift along with a
letter.” There is a scene of Yuulin sighing in relief.
She thinks that in the end, dressed normally like this is
really better. Narration: “And speaking of the letter’s contents--..”
Flashback: Aghast Jun says, “She wrote, ‘Lately, some worrisome news had
reached my ear. *scene of delighted Ruka with flowers* Please, you must inform
me, Lady princess consort, of your current situation--...’ I’m afraid that the
‘youkai consort’ has reached her ear...”
Yuulin went into ‘!?’ shock. Jun continued to say, “She also
wrote, ‘I treat you, lady princess consort, as my younger sister, so you can
tell me anything’-like that. Please wait and confirm first the gift list before
writing a letter back...”
Yuulin trembled in shock as she knelt down on the floor.
She thought, “‘Youkai consort’..! I didn’t think that it will reach and be
known in Sogyoku. That silly reputation! Ah ah!?” End flashback. Holding her
head, Yuulin gloomily thinks, “Why!? In order to purge the ‘youka consort’
stigma, I worked so hard in training everyday...
...I even spared no effort in receiving the guests from
Enha. But the situation had become worse!! Is this some kind of joke...!! *calms
down as she sits on her desk* ...this isn’t the time to be depressed; I have to
think of the reply back. Let me confirm one more time the princess consort’s
appropriate course of action...
...After I’ve roughly finished it...is it better to ask Lady
Ranyou to modify it again. I have to attain a passing grade. I definitely still
have a very long way to go. It is no good if I don’t quickly start. *pouts and
holds her pen* I still have to practice calligraphy. Ah—I won’t admit defeat-!!
I’ll retrieve my reputation!”
Later on, Reishou arrives and says, “—huh?” While he stares
at Yuulin from top to bottom, Yuulin welcomes Reishou and asks what’s up.
Puzzled Reishou says that it is nothing. “I just heard that today, I’ll see a
dressed up fashionable princess consort waiting for me. Is it the gift that
auntie gave?”
Startled Yuulin says, ah, who had specially told that kind
of thing to him... “About that, *flustered and timidly smiles* I’m really sorry
but if there’s an opportunity next time...” Reishou seems puzzled as he looks
at her.
Blushing Yuulin thinks that it is embarrassing to death to specially change into that dress for His Majesty...! “It’s gaudy and revealing...but then, between a married couple, there should also...” Reishou says that actually, he doesn’t mind what she wears. Yuulin pouts and says, “Yes. Is that so-- Ah, okay.”
Blushing Yuulin thinks that it is embarrassing to death to specially change into that dress for His Majesty...! “It’s gaudy and revealing...but then, between a married couple, there should also...” Reishou says that actually, he doesn’t mind what she wears. Yuulin pouts and says, “Yes. Is that so-- Ah, okay.”
She wonders if he isn’t interested in clothes and ornaments
since he totally doesn’t care. “For him to say that can also make me feel not
interested [/bored]... Hm~” Yuulin is puzzled since Reishou keeps on looking at
her. He approaches her.
He leans to her and says, “—As long as it is you, you’re
cute no matter what you wear.” This immediately made Yuulin blush and her heart
went dokidoki. Yuulin thinks that this is the Wolf King--!! “How come each and
every time, this man would make my heart jump until it is going to explode--!!”
The next day, Gen angrily shouts at Yuulin, “You big
idiot-!!” Surprised Yuulin asks him what’s up that he’s suddenly like that.
While stomping on the floor and waving his arms, Gen shouts, “It’s a rare opportunity
for the ‘huge battle [strategy] of a different from usual sexy princess consort
who’ll seduce His Majesty’!
...*There is a scene of Yuulin in the sexy dress winking at
blushing Reishou who is surrounded by hearts*... You unexpectedly wasted it-!!
Stupid-!! Idiot-!! Wahhh-” Yuulin exclaims in realization, “Ah! It turns out tthat it is Teacher who said those unnecessary things to His Majesty!! So, it’s like
that!”
Still whining and crying, Gen shouts, “How come
you-don’t-understand-!! I’m going to be heartbroken!! Hu-wah-ah ah!!” Yuulin
sweatdrops and tells him that there’s nothing to cry about. Eating some rice
crackers, Dai appears and says that Yuulin made an old man cry- Yuulin angrily
tells Dai that he’s noisy to death.
Yuulin tensely tells Gen that she’s saying that right now,
that isn’t what she has to-do- “Purge the Youkai stigma! Princess consort
studies!” Gen angrily rebukes her, “What are you saying! His Majesty is
definitely also very disappointed!!” This shocks Yuulin.
Pointing at her, Gen tearfully reprimands her, “Do you know
that an ordinary princess consort’s everyday is, it is standing in front of the mirror
the whole day! Polishing on how to dress herself up to properly provoke His
Majesty’s favor!
...But you, each and every day, you’re solely preoccupied
with just studies and studies." There is a scene of chibi Yuulin gloomily studying. Yuulin shouts, "You go
and complain about that to Li Jun-san!" Scene of aghast Yuulin = study life. Gen continues to shout, "Is it no good for
you to even occasionally improve your charming skill a bit?!! You’re not even
putting a bit of effort [in it]!
...Obviously, this is a place [/area] that one needs to have
effort and perseverance! The meaning of Princess Ruka’s gift is definitely about
wanting you to improve that area for sure!” Yuulin goes into shock. Trembling
Yuulin thinks, “Aside from youkai, I’m not striving hard...! A good-for-nothing
wife...! Is it like that!? Is that really, the meaning of Princess Ruka’s
gift--!?”
Dai mutters that it isn’t so and even if she doesn’t have
charm, anyway, it is also okay for her to go for lovey-dovey. At the cloister,
happily jumping around, Gen calls out to Reishou who is walking ahead of him,
“Your Majesty! Today is definitely in line with one’s expectations. Definitely,
definitely.”
Reishou calls out to Gen. As Gen becomes timid, Reishou
tells him, “I know that as ‘harem’s supervisor’, you have you bounded duty.
Despite that, ...I’m not happy about seeing this kind of thing which
restricting her to the harem’s practices [/rules]. *dark serious wolf mode* I
ought to have said it before. I really don’t appreciate the harem’s old
practices.” This made Gen shiver but he managed to stay calm.
Gen replies, “--..but, this is still Hakuyou’s harem. It is
an honor for this old man to fulfill one’s duty and die, Your Majesty. *Reishou
quietly looks at him seriously* --in other words, it is impossible to want me
to talk less [than necessary] from here on!! I’m withdrawing now. You go and
stick together [with her]-!!”
At the harem, dressed up in the Sogyoku outfit, aghast yet
sparkling Yuulin lamely welcomes Reishou back. Reishou sweatdrops and says,
“...Yuulin, about cute, it is very cute. *Yuulin stiffly staring at him* But,
your scowling is quite astonishing. Besides, it is also daring. You’re wearing
that because of Teacher [Gen]? It is also okay that you don’t have to force
yourself.”
Yuulin gloomily says that Gen told her that in short, she
must first wear it in order to understand Princess Ruka’s meaning. “But...in
the end, I still don’t understand... after all, I’m a youkai... Ya...” Chibi
Gen is dancing and laughing about a ‘different self’ coming out—
Reishou calls out if she’s alright. He smiles and says, “Ah~
that gift ought to be given in order to boost your morale.” This puzzles
Yuulin. Reishou explains, “When auntie visited, ...before she left, she gave me
a bit of advice regarding how to treat you. She said, ‘Wanting to always
continue this current situation is impossible.’”
Flashback: Ruka was talking to frowning Reishou. She
continued to say, “If you sincerely love [her], then, merely just doting
[on/spoiling her] like this is no good. You have to teach her the way/s to
fight. ...there are enemies everywhere in this place… *smiles* That child isn’t
that weak, right?” End flashback.
Yuulin is surprised by that. While the two are sitting on
the sofa, Reishou says at that time, Yuulin is still working [as a consort] so
sooner or later, she’ll go back [to her home]. “Wanting to do something is out
of the question. At that time, I thought that suggestion means nothing...
...*with @ @ around him* ...in the end, things became like
this now. [<- Yuulin became a real∙princess consort currently studying and
training] ..I always feel that I can hear auntie laughing heartily. *chibi Ruka
laughed hahaha, see, it is as I told you!* So, that dress ought to be used as a
battle outfit.”
Surprised Yuulin asks about using this for a battle!?
Reishou asks wasn’t women’s battle like this? “Dressing up-type. After all,
right now, she [Ruka] is now already one of Sogyoku’s people. It is also
impossible for her to write many things clearly in the letter. *looks glum*...
...Also, at this point in time, its meaning ought to also
include the probing of our and Enha’s relationship. She’s very amazing for she
used her own position without wasting any effort.” Yuulin blushes and says,
ah..so amazing, Princess Ruka is also... She thinks that like this, across time
and far away distance, she had sent her blessing [/wishes Yuulin well].
This perks Yuulin up that she exclaims, “Your Majesty! I’m
totally energetic now! Right now, I want to write a letter back!” Reishou goes
oh— Standing up and walking away, Yuulin turns to Reishou and says that’s
right, she also wants to write to Princess Shuon so can it be delivered? “I
want to know if she’s doing well over there.”
Reishou says, “Ah-? There is a diplomatic envoy so there
should be no problem. Eh, you’re going to write it now?” Narration: “Even if the
princess consort training is very severe and I also haven’t totally purged the ‘youkai
consort’ stigma but I can do my best again.”
At some other room, Gen calls out to Kouren to come over
here. Kouren joins Gen for some food and drink. Kouren asks how things are in
the harem. Holding his drink, Gen tells him that it has been a long time since
he had been on the receiving end of the Wolf King’s murderous intent [aura]!
“Really such a scary king. ...when I gave him a reserved
[/prepared] lady before, there is that feeling of going to be killed by him
every day! *scene of Reishou fuming and emitting murderous intent which freaks
out Gen* Right now, it can be considered more or less as an example of a harem.
There should have an effect already...
...*scene of blushing Yuulin talking with smiling Reishou*
I’m actually quite happy! *Kouren continues to look serious* After this
princess consort had left the harem then came back again, His Majesty has also
changed a lot. *looks serious*...
...There ought to be also someone [/some people] who had
become aware that the harem’s situation had already changed. ...the princess
consort’s real trouble has yet to come. *scene of some officials at the back of
the couple* B-ut! The most important is simply lovey-dovey-!! Right now, my
plan ought to make them stick together-!!
...*happily waves arm around* Yahoo-- I'm so amazing--”
Kouren is speechless. Kouren thinks, “..the wolf had captured the rabbit. The
rabbit had trapped the wolf in the harem.” Back at the harem, not too happy
Reishou calls out to Yuulin to say that obviously, it’s quite rare for her to
dress up so cute.
While writing her letter, Yuulin says that didn’t he say it
doesn’t matter what she wears. “Please, at least, let me finish writing my
thoughts.” Reishou sweatdrops and pouts. He asks, “...Yuulin, aren’t you going
to say my name today?” This causes Yuulin to freeze.
She asks, “---...rig..right now? ...that’s right, we did
agree to do it once a day.” Reishou smiles, “Right now.” Yuulin asks if he
can’t wait. “Wait until I’ve finished writing, can you?” Going near her,
Reishou says, “Right now.” Yuulin notices [imaginary] puppy ears appears on Reishou
who is eagerly anticipating it.
Looking at anticipating Reishou, Yuulin mentally groans for
this person is absolutely quite happy when she’s perplexed... Meanie. “After
His Majesty became a husband, he became a meanie.” Yuulin tells him to please
wait a moment. Reishou happily hugs her tight and says, “Yes.” Yuulin starts to
say, “...Rei..Rei Rei Rei Rei... *Reishou says yes, yes.* Rei Rei Rei Rei
Rei... *blushes and looks at him* Rei-shou?” This made Reishou blush and smile.
Trembling, he laughs and says that the way she calls out his
name is quite fun..! Blushing Yuulin asks what’s so funny. He tells her that if
there’s time, he’ll also thank his aunt and Teacher [Gen]. Blushing Yuulin is
puzzled.
Putting his arm around her, Reishou says, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t
have seen my beloved consort looking so cute.” Yuulin exclaims, “What do you
mean! You obviously said that you don’t care about dressing up... Ah, wrong,
let me go! I’m going to write a letter--” Narration: “Afterwards, Teacher and
Princess consort’s defense-attack battle still continues.”
Holding rabbit ears head band, Gen happily calls out to
Yuulin, “Look at this. This time, wear this as you wait for His Majesty-!
Rabbit ears, he’ll definitely be happy [about it].” Aghast and tense Yuulin
exclaims, “I don’t understand your point! How can that kind of thing make His
Majesty happy!” Chuckling Dai says, “No, I think he’ll be unexpectedly happy.
Hehe”
Comment: Another
nice chapter ^^ Whenever Gen is around, things will definitely be interesting
for our couple ^^ The last part reminds me of the series, Faster than A Kiss.
Will Yuulin be ‘cosplaying’ for Reishou from here on as she welcomes him back?
=P
Anyway, for Yuulin to be embarrassed to dress up in a sexy
dress for Reishou makes me think that she’s really a long way to go, to what
Gen really wants to happen =P Still, he obviously have the patience and
perseverance to guide Yuulin to that point. Of course, while they’re at it, Dai
is having the ‘laughs’ [/amusement] of his life =P
So, the ‘youkai consort’ stigma has spread far and wide. I’m
still contemplating if that is actually good or bad. From Ruka’s ‘reactions’,
it seems like a good thing. ^^; I’m inclined to think so too since the
‘enemies’ won’t get the impression that she’s easy to get rid of. Of course, it
can give an impression that she’s ‘bad’ for Reishou.
Nevertheless, it makes me think that the gift is a help from Ruka to prevent what happened to Reishou's mother to Yuulin. But of course, I can understand Yuulin’s frustration over
her hard work doesn’t seem to be bearing fruit at all. As for the gift, Gen
will obviously say things that will lead to what he wanted for the couple. In
the end, Reishou gives her an encouraging word as to what Ruka meant with the
gift.
It is amusing though that Reishou’s ‘lovey-dovey’ line is
backfiring on him. Hehe, he really has to take back what he said regarding ‘she’s
cute in whatever she wears’ since she would assume that he doesn’t care. In the
end, he had to change the topic to saying his name. ^^ It’s nice that they made
it into a once a day habit. Perhaps, for the purpose of until Yuulin gets used
to it. =P
In the end, Reishou would also have to take back what he
thought Gen is teaching Yuulin. I’m not sure if he’ll realize later on that Gen
isn’t really for the rules and stuff regarding the harem but more on their
lovey-dovey. =P I’m sure he would approve of what Gen is doing. And, Gen still
has a lot to teach Yuulin ^^
Now, it is being hinted that there is huge trouble ahead. Most
likely, it includes the three old men who were introduced when Ryukou came to
the palace. I’m not sure what Gen mentioned about the harem changed. Is it
because Yuulin is the one and only, or because there is a consort in the harem
now, they [enemies] would try to introduce more.
Jun will be hard-pressed to make-up excuses as to why he
won’t let other women in the harem. Kouren’s musing isn’t too assuring as if
this is also bad for Reishou but hopefully, Yuulin can also help him. Rather, I
would really want them to help each other rather than a one-sided thing.
Anyway, there are people who’ll help them through ^^ Scans by 水月梅漢化组
