After having a green face all morning, Hoshimi Rinko finally nodded lightly like a satisfied cat.
"What about me?" Kasahara Asuka asked as she leaned over.
Fujiwara Reya looked at her lively smile and sparkling eyes, and without thinking, he said, "The colorful threads sway lightly like swallows, heavy with sleep beneath the red window, unaware of the orioles."

Kasahara Asuka blinked in confusion.
It was obvious that she didn't understand what he meant, possibly not even understanding the Chinese language.
"Mr. Fujiwara, you can't play favorites," Mrs. Hoshimi said with a smile as she brewed tea.
This was a private gathering, with no servants to attend to them and no sight of lavishly dressed ladies. There were just the five of them in the room, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere. Fujiwara Reya felt no social restrictions and freely chatted.
"I dare not evaluate Chairman Hoshimi," he said, sitting cross-legged in front of the tea table with a smile.
