Hehehe, I’m confident enough in my sewing skills for it to be one of my strong points.

Although the endless work might be difficult sometimes, it becomes enjoyable when I think about the person wearing the clothes, staying up all night does not bother me. In fact, when I’m feeling good, I can even sacrifice sleep to continue sewing (I did fix this habit after being admonished by my Little Sister and my friends though.)

And this time, I’m sewing clothes for somebody precious to me. Just like when I made clothes for Gray or sewed that dress, sewing for my precious Family is unexpectedly fun, and it makes me even happier when they’re pleased with the finished product.

I wonder if Lady Violet will be happy when I finish the furisode. That being said, it’s not something she’s used to wearing so I have to be careful about that.

 

“Lord Clo.”

“What is it, Lady Violet? Please don’t worry, I will make something just as wonderful as that dress!”

“Yeah, I’m very happy. But…”

 

When I relayed my enthusiasm to Lady Violet, for some reason she approached me with a troubled expression. Even then, she still looked beautiful. I wondered if there was something wrong?

From what I could see, her physique didn’t seem to have changed, so I’ll used the same shape–

 

“—Nmmuu?!”

 

As she came close to me, she suddenly put her arms around my neck and brought her face so close to me that I could not even see it anymore.

And suddenly I could not breathe through my mouth.

 

“—–”

 

… Huh?…. huh? What’s happening?

I can feel something soft on my lips.

A sweet scent is dominating my senses.

This is definitely it. Yes, we’re definitely using the same perfumed oil, but this sweet scent belongs to Lady Violet. And right now it was getting closer to me, with the soft sensation on my lips.

 

“—-Fu.”

 

Her face moved away a little and what was previously invisible finally came into view.

Her expression was a little embarrassed, and somewhat sexy.

That’s what was on the dignified face of my precious Lady Violet right in front of me.

To summarize what happened-

 

“… Kiss.”

 

I heard someone say this and clearly understood the situation.

In other words, the same thing that happened on the night of my birthday happened to me right now.

The only difference is that Lady Violet did it here first. She stretched her back, held me close and did it for a few seconds.

 

“Um, why all of a sudden…”

 

My thoughts could not catch up to the sudden development and I ended up asking a silly question.

 

“Lord Clo, I am very happy that you’re trying to sew a furisode for me, but I wouldn’t want you to ruin your health because of it. Besides, um…”

 

Lady Violet was resolute in answering my questions until halfway through, but she got stuck mid-sentence, and after a moment of looking around as if she did not know what to say,

 

“I’m sad that I can’t spend this New Year with you, Lord Clo… so I want you to calm down… have you managed to properly compose yourself?”

 

Her face turned red and she gave a slightly embarrassed smile, as if she did not know what expression to make.

 

“… And that’s why you kissed me?”

“Well, I knew that you would not stop unless I gave you some kind of a shock, but I couldn’t resort to violence, so I thought I would give you a mental shock instead.”

“That’s why you kissed me?”

“Y-yeah. I thought a kiss would give you enough shock to stop you… besides, I also…”

 

Lady Violet seemed to become embarrassed midway through what she was saying, as she muttered in a faint voice, “I wanted to try it too.”

I see. It seems my good fortune for this year was being used so much that it would soon run out if things carried on like this.

And then I thought again. She’s just too cute.

Maybe I should do it again too. Okay, I should do it. There’s no reason to be shy! Okay, let’s do it right away, let’s do it!

 

Meanwhile, two onlookers were there…

 

“Gray, we should leave now… Gray?”

“Father and Mother are starting the New Year with a kiss?… I-I must cook something to celebrate! No, I have to tell everyone in Shiki!”

“Don’t.”

“But, Father and Mother are finally moving to the next phase…! U-uu…”

“Wait, are you crying, Gray!?”

“I-I… I just thought it was my fault Father and Mother weren’t moving forward despite being married for half a year… so now that I can see them making progress, I… I…”

“O-oh, there, there. Please don’t cry. Here, if you are okay with my bosom, I will lend it to you.”

“U-uu… thank you very much. But I’m okay. I’m strong so I can wipe away my own tears even when I cry…!”

 

Oh, that’s right. Gray and Ms. Mary are here too. It would be embarrassing to continue kissing in front of my Son and friend. Or rather, that’s what Gray was thinking? I’ll have to have a talk with him later and tell him that he thought wrong.

And Lady Violet knew about it and still went for a kiss? It must have been embarrassing… but I was so out of control that she had no choice but to do it, huh? I need to reflect on this.

 

“Oh right, Gray and Mary are here too…!”

 

Oops, so she did not even remember them.

 

“Did you perhaps forget about them?”

“I was, um, thinking about ways to stop you and I ended up doing it impulsively so…”

“That’s, um… T-thank you very much?”

“Y-You’re welcome…?”

 

Lady Violet’s face got redder. My face was probably red too.

How should I release these emotions? I feel happiness, embarrassment, desire to do it again, and many other things, but I can’t get my head around how to do it.

That’s right, I should repay this affection with whatever I can do.

The greatest way I could repay her. Something I’m proud of being good at. In other words–

 

“I-in that case, as a thank you for calming me down, I’ll sew you clothes, okay!? I’ll give you the best return gift I can give for that kiss!”

“Lord Clo, you’re going back in loop!”
