Editing Saiunkoku Monogatari:Volume 1 Chapter4

“—Whatever you want I will give you.”
He said so, then reached out a hand to me who lost everything.
The me then probably stared at him with eyes cold as glass beads, and gave him my hand like a mechanical doll – I still remember his warmth made my tears, which was thought to be dried up, burst out.
Live for him, this line seems to become my goal.
He kept his promise, gave me everything I wanted, other than the last strong desire that I couldn’t say.
His wish, his desire, let me finish it--. 

After making sure that Shuurei is deep asleep, Ryuuki abruptly sat up. With his hands lightly searching around the pillow, he took out a “certain object” under the mattress when he touched a hump.
“… … it’s a sachet… …”
Ryuuki put the sachet into his arms and walked down the bed, walking in the room as usual, and searched around the room. Even though there are no lights, his steps has no hesitation. Searching under the mattress with his hands, he found a paper man stuck underneath this time.
Shaking this seemingly ominous paper man, he stacked it and kept in his arms too.
Other than that, he first found 3 paper man that night, then he took out aroma wood from the furnace, he checked the desk interior and removed the shaving knives, opened the dressing box and tried all the cosmetic inside, his actions appear rather smooth. He finally took the silver tea set given by Shouka and examined it under the moon light carefully.

Ryuuki squinted his eyes, and slowly examined the silver cups.
As he examine, he looks at Shuurei sleeping soundly on the bed.
The serene sleeping Shuurei made Ryuuki’s expressions gentler, but quickly, he turned and looked at the numerous “battle spoils” he confiscated that night, he can’t help folding his eyebrow.
“… … it’s almost time.”

Recently losing things –Shuurei thinks.
From a honourable family, Shuurei shouldn’t mind these small matters, yet Shuurei has developed the habit to take note of the things around her. Taking hold of all the resources, using the resources to its fullest is the first step to frugal.
Hence with Shuurei’s keen eyes, she soon discovered a lot of small objects disappearing.
Furthermore… …
Strangely, they will reappear in another unique way. No, should say that—
“… … This is for me?”
General Ran passed a sachet while smiling, stating that this is the trinkets most popular with young girls.
“I think this sachet can showcase Lady Shuurei’s pureness, while helping with sleep.”
Winking while saying, and sent a kiss. A handsome man doing this action is especially charming. 
And Kouyuu gave a stationary case, inkstone, and brush etc, all kinds of stationary included.
“—Work hard, you have a lot of potential, don’t take this as tool box.”

That is a silver coated raden (Note: Lacquer or carving utensils’s surface, embed with different kinds of thin shells as decorations, are known as raden.) art masterpiece, and Kouyuu also unconsciously used the highest compliments “highly potential” on Shuurei, made Shuurei who always secretly admire Kouyuu’s knowledge very happy, after calming down then she realise that her stationary box just disappeared recently.
