Prompt
50) Reishin, Yuri-hime, Kouyuu. Family outing

Yuri would freely admit that
Reishin greatly surprised her with his treatment of little Kou. When
she met the boy, it was her first thought to approach Shouka as soon as
possible to have him take in the little waif. She was sure Shouka's
family had more than enough love to spread to one more.
To her great surprise, Reishin objected quite strenuously when she
quietly brought it up to the brothers out of earshot to Kou. And Yuri
was admittedly suspicious about his claim that he now conveniently had
an instant family with her as his wife and a ready child for a son
without all the trouble and mess of dealing with babies and
unintelligible toddlers first.
However, seeing Reishin with the newly name Kouyuu throughout the
festival day, then now carrying a quite exhausted boy to the tea house
for dinner changed Yuri's mind. It reminded Yuri greatly of how Shouka
often treated Reishin when they were growing up. And Yuri was glad that
Reishin learnt from that example rather than how he had once treated
Kurou.
The boy was going to be spoiled rotten, but Yuri also thought Kouyuu
deserved it to make up for his difficult early childhood.
