I have an infinite number of shikigami

The petite and adorable girl furrowed her eyebrows and put on a fierce look, which was quite cute.

Fujiwara Reya glanced at her a few times, then smiled and said: "Alright, let's have a fair competition."

Yukino Ritsuko looked at him rather helplessly, her eyes seemed to be blaming him for daring to tease a little girl.

"Sister Yukino, wait for me a moment." Kitagawa Ryoko let go of Yukino Ritsuko's hand, then raised her chin and looked at Fujiwara Reya with her nostrils, "I have something to say to him alone!"

"Uh..."

Yukino Ritsuko was a bit stunned,

Then she recalled the events of last night, her face slightly red as she glanced at Fujiwara Reya, signaling him not to bully the little girl.

Kitagawa Ryoko pursed her lips and walked towards Fujiwara Reya, twisting her head.

Yukino Ritsuko sighed helplessly, "You two, don't start a fight..."

"Don't worry, at most it's a one-sided beating of a kid."

"Tch."

Kitagawa Ryoko sneered disdainfully.

The two of them walked one after the other into the woods by the path.

The greenery was lush, yellow butterflies fluttered around, and egrets occasionally emitted crisp cries.

As they walked, Kitagawa Ryoko found a clean spot in the shade of a tree and sat down. Fujiwara Reya squatted opposite her, and they looked at each other for a long time. He put on a gentle, humble smile: "Alright, what does Miss Ryoko want to say?"

Kitagawa Ryoko glanced at her, then turned her head to look at Yukino Ritsuko outside the woods.

"Even if you smile, it won't work." She said.

Her expression was serious, and Fujiwara Reya smiled just as seriously.

"I like Sister Yukino!" She said again.

"I know."

A淡淡的语气.

Perhaps feeling his reaction was too bland, Kitagawa Ryoko turned her head to look at him, repeating, "I like Sister Yukino!"

"I already said I know," Fujiwara Reya showed an understanding smile, "I'm a serious high school boy at the forefront of the times, you know, women liking women isn't all that rare. Why do you think it would be hard for me to understand?"

"What's there to be smug about..." Kitagawa Ryoko muttered.

Fujiwara Reya asked her, "What do you plan to do then?"

"Anyway, I won't give up..." Kitagawa Ryoko cupped her hands under her chin, somewhat melancholically gazing at the distant Yukino Ritsuko, "When I entered the hall that year, I was not even ten years old. I was a child abandoned by my biological parents... At that time, Sister Yukino, who was a lady's maid, gave me a lot of love and care... The things that happened during that time, there's no point telling an outsider like you, anyway, in Ryoko's heart, Sister Yukino is the most important."

"Alright, I understand." Fujiwara Reya was still smiling.

Seeing his smiling face annoyed Kitagawa Ryoko.

"Sister Yukino is so wonderful, if anyone wrongs her, I would kill him! Scum like you will definitely wrong Sister Yukino, so you better get lost soon before I kill you..."

"You can't kill me."

"I..." Kitagawa Ryoko momentarily stopped, then muttered irritably, "Anyway, I want to stay with Sister Yukino."

"Hmm."

"...Can't you give some reaction?"

"It's a good thing for someone to care for her." Fujiwara Reya laughed cheerfully, "She doesn't like women, so what reaction should I have?"

"You..." Kitagawa Ryoko glared at him angrily, "You have a wife at home!"

"She knows."

"..."

Fujiwara Reya's indifferent attitude made Kitagawa Ryoko think this guy was really hateful.

"That Empress wife of yours is no good, what if she bullies Sister Yukino?" Kitagawa Ryoko glared, almost wanting to pounce on him, "Anyway, it's impossible for you to marry Sister Yukino, you know that, yet you still act shamelessly, not hiding your scum ways at all. You tell everything to Sister Yukino, making her bear it herself, you're the most despicable..."

"Hmm."

Fujiwara Reya nodded, not arguing.

In this aspect, he was indeed not as sincere as the girl.

Compared to the purity of her affection, Fujiwara Reya's fondness might not have been that pure, and he never concealed that fact.

After a brief silence, he looked at the earnest-faced Kitagawa Ryoko and laughed, "So let's have a fair competition in the future. Bring out all your tricks, if I frown even once, I'm not a man."

Kitagawa Ryoko, seeing him finally giving in a little, smugly said "humph," stood up and left. Before she walked a few steps, she turned back, throwing a harsh "we'll see," and then ran towards Yukino Ritsuko, skipping joyfully.

Fujiwara Reya couldn't help but laugh again.

Having this interesting Little Baihe around to watch over was a good reminder for him to treat Yukino Ritsuko better in the future. Otherwise, even an underaged girl would dare to jump out and compete with him for a woman.

Kitagawa Ryoko grabbed Yukino Ritsuko's hand and walked quickly, disappearing from sight in no time.

Fujiwara Reya walked leisurely to the garden area.

This was a large garden in a traditional Japanese style, where the flower beds were trimmed neatly and beautifully. The entire place was filled with green plants, and there were plenty of Japanese rock garden decorations. The walking paths intertwined like threads through the forest. The large river in the central garden flowed through here, alongside a large lake, innumerable gazebos where one could rest, with stone lanterns, courtyard lights scattered throughout, and complimentary drinks and food.

Of course.

What was even more eye-catching was the August cherry blossoms blooming throughout the garden.

In all of Japan, apart from the Sakura Demon capable of out-of-season cherry blossoms, only here could you see cherry blossoms in August.

Fujiwara Reya walked through a corridor entrance to arrive at a teahouse.
