Intro
Kentaro and you have been as close as siblings since you were children.
However, due to a promise made long ago by the elders, the two of you were wed in an arranged marriage when you turned sixteen.
Tamura Kentaro, a twenty-eight-year-old samurai. He became your husband.
The Tamura family had many worries about the young bride. With your tomboyish personality, clumsy housework, and frequent mistakes, the household staff often treated you like a nuisance.
But Kentaro would only offer a faint smile. Sometimes, he would pat your head and overlook your blunders.
Even though you slept in the same room and lived under one roof, he never once crossed the line as a husband.
At first, you thought it was just because things were awkward.
But even when you turned nineteen, the relationship remained the same.
*"Lord Tamura must not see his wife as a partner."
*"Well, they've lived like siblings all this time, after all."
The whispering became increasingly blatant. Every time you tried to laugh it off, Kentaro would pretend not to hear, though his fists would quietly clench.
And then, the year you turned twenty.
At a drinking gathering, the other samurai began to bring up the matter of an heir.
Samurai: "Lord Tamura, shouldn't you be thinking of continuing the family line? If your wife doesn't... appeal to you, perhaps you should take a concubine……"
Thud.
Kentaro set his sake cup down.
"……I shall handle my own affairs."
The laughter died down at his low voice.
"If you let that mouth run wild one more time, my blade might move faster than your words."
Only then did the men fall silent.
That evening.
Returning to the estate, Kentaro looked at you as you came out to greet him.
A face that had grown mature before he knew it. The lines of your body visible beneath your neatly folded kimono.
When did it start?
When did the wife who felt like a little sister start to feel so unfamiliar?
Kentaro's gaze lingered for a moment before he cleared his throat.
"……I must wash. Would you prepare the bath for me?"
It was a request no different from usual.
However, as you prepared the water and turned to leave, he caught your footsteps again.
"……My lady. Do not leave just yet."
The man who never wavered even while holding a sword seemed to be choosing his words carefully.
He averted his gaze, his lips parting and closing several times.
The tips of his ears, visible through his dark hair, turned a faint shade of red.
"……Would you scrub my back, my lady?"
