After coaxing Uchiha Mikoto to sleep, Aoba came to the Land of Snow.
At this moment, Kazahana Koyuki was sitting elegantly beside a small table. On the table was a large bowl of chicken soup, with all kinds of medicinal herbs floating inside.
In front of her was also a wine flask, along with a cup.
The moment Aoba appeared, he could already smell the fragrance lingering in the air, along with a faint medicinal scent mixed into the aroma.
Kazahana Koyuki wasn't startled by Aoba's sudden appearance. She only paused slightly while drinking the chicken soup, then returned to normal, already used to it.
Aoba walked over and sat across from her. Looking at the various herbs floating in the bowl, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
"You're drinking this stuff again."
"What do you mean 'this stuff'?"
Kazahana Koyuki's little face was slightly flushed. She set down the small bowl in her hand and explained seriously, "These are all newly formulated recipes from the medical department. They only have benefits for the body and no negative effects at all."
There might be just one small thing, after drinking it, the body might feel a little warm, just like how her pretty face was flushed right now.
If she drank too much, she might even get a nosebleed, but as long as Aoba was there, it would quickly ease.
Hearing that, Aoba didn't really know what to say.
She was the only one who needed these things, but he couldn't really dampen her motivation either.
After all, among everyone, Kazahana Koyuki had the weakest physique. Not to mention ninjas, before this, she had been a completely ordinary person.
Because she often acted and trained her body, she might be a bit stronger than average people, but weak was still weak.
In many aspects, Kazahana Koyuki was excellent. Her looks and temperament were top-tier, her figure was more than ample, and her legs were extremely well-maintained.
But in some aspects, weak was just weak.
There was no helping it. Kazahana Koyuki's natural constitution wasn't very good.
It was only after a long period of conditioning, along with Aoba continuously nourishing her with his chakra, that her physique gradually improved.
But if she wanted to catch up with the others, there was still a long way to go.
That was why Kazahana Koyuki would occasionally have the medical department of the Land of Snow research formulas and medicines in this area.
Though it wasn't just for her alone. There seemed to be quite a demand for these formulas and medicines across the ninja world. In any case, the Land of Snow had made quite a bit of money from it.
But in Aoba's view, while this stuff worked, its effects were limited.
It might not even be as effective as… taking a couple more bites.
Kazahana Koyuki didn't know what Aoba was thinking. Seeing him staring at the chicken soup in a daze, her originally calm expression couldn't help but change.
After some internal struggle and hesitation, she finally gritted her teeth, scooped half a spoonful of chicken soup into a cup, and pushed it toward Aoba.
"Y-you… if you really want to drink it, you can only have a little…"
This was meant for her to drink. After all, only she needed the supplement. But if Aoba drank it too… then later, she might get directly… gulp!
"?"
Aoba snapped back to his senses. Looking at the small amount of chicken soup in front of him, and Kazahana Koyuki's nervous expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't this a bit too little? It's not even enough to taste."
"Th-this…"
Kazahana Koyuki's body trembled slightly. Then she used the ladle to fill the cup completely.
"Th-this… is this enough?"
If she had to face it, then so be it. It just meant she might not be in very good condition during court tomorrow.
"Heh~"
Aoba couldn't help but chuckle, "There's no need for that much. I was just a bit curious about the taste of the chicken soup."
"..."
Kazahana Koyuki rolled her eyes at him, said nothing, and directly drank the cup of chicken soup herself. Then she stood up and pressed her lips against his.
The taste of the chicken soup really wasn't bad. Even though a lot of herbs had been added, it didn't mask the original freshness of the soup.
As for what happened afterward, there was no need to say more.
Naturally, it turned into a deeper kind of exchange.
Kazahana Koyuki treated him to chicken soup, so Aoba naturally had to return the favor.
———
Just like that, an hour passed in the sealed space.
Kazahana Koyuki lay sideways on the large bed, her whole body limp, so exhausted she couldn't even straighten her waist.
From head to toe, aside from her pair of pink eyes, there wasn't a single part of her that held any strength.
Aoba released the silky strands of her long hair from his fingertips, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and couldn't help but tease, "You've improved quite a bit today. Looks like that chicken soup really is pretty effective."
"..."
Kazahana Koyuki opened her slightly closed eyes, revealing her moist purple gaze. She touched her stomach again and couldn't help but pout.
It still felt like it wasn't enough.
The reason she was so persistent about conditioning her body and improving her physique wasn't just to last a bit longer and go a few more rounds?
Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for her to have a child.
She was already in her twenties. It was time to start thinking about the succession of the Land of Snow.
After all, raising a child into a qualified successor would take at least twenty years.
She had to work harder while she was still young.
Aside from that, there was another reason.
"Are you still not satisfied?"
"I'm actually more or less satisfied. It's just that I went to see the others first."
Aoba answered honestly.
"..."
Kazahana Koyuki's pouting lips puffed out even more.
As the queen of a nation, she had her own pride.
Yet among his girlfriends, she could only be at the bottom. How could she accept that? She questioned, "You said they can last two or three hours each time. You're not lying to me, are you?"
Rather than doubting herself, she chose to question others first.
"Then next time, should I bring Sara along too?", Aoba teased.
After all, Sara was the Queen of Roran, and Kazahana Koyuki was the Queen of the Land of Snow. Their statuses matched quite well.
"W-what?"
Kazahana Koyuki froze for a moment, then quickly pulled the blanket over her face.
"Absolutely not!"
"Alright, since you're unwilling, we won't talk about it for now. I have something serious to tell you."
Seeing her hide, Aoba turned her around under the covers and made her stick her head out.
"What serious matter?"
Kazahana Koyuki looked puzzled.
"Marriage!"
Aoba said it directly.
"Marriage?"
Kazahana Koyuki froze again, not quite reacting.
"Mm…"
Aoba explained the matter of having a group wedding, then waited for her answer.
He had originally thought she would at least hesitate for a while, but after only a brief silence, Kazahana Koyuki gently nodded.
"I understand…"
