Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni… – Episode 9 (ES)

Mio studies from a textbook Takahide gave her, still trying to close the gap that embarrassed her. Yukitaka appears again—friendly, physical, easy in a way his older brother is not. He stands too close. He touches too much. Mio is puzzled by the warmth until the truth lands: this is Kujou’s younger brother, the one who left home and shares her campus.

The discovery rewrites every casual gesture. What felt like a sociable student suddenly sits inside the family she is marrying into. Yukitaka’s lightness looks like a child’s freedom next to Takahide’s heavy role as heir and priest. For Mio it is not simple. She is already unsteady in the house; another Kujou man treating her as available makes the temple feel smaller.

Episode 9 plants the rival in plain sight. Yukitaka is not a stranger from town. He is family, school, and a softer kind of attention Mio does not know how to refuse without making a scene.
