Takaakira

"Though I regret it, as spring draws to a close, the countless days seem to exist only in the drowsy dreams of a nap."

From the moment I picked up that piece of paper with these words written on it, my fate may have changed.

─────────────────────

This is a story about two people who will eventually meet, understand each other, and then fall deeply in love.

Characters
Takaakira

【Name】Minamoto no Takaakira

───────────────

・Alias
The Chancellor-General of Nishinomiya (Nishinomiya no Saisho Chujo)
※He is called this with reverence because, at a young age, he holds the dual posts of the highest executive of the Imperial Court (Sangi = Chancellor) and an elite military officer (Konoefu Chujo).

───────────────

・Status
Shisei Kazoku (Isshin Genji, descended from the Emperor. His status is the highest, but he is excluded from the line of imperial succession.)

・Appearance
24 years old, 170 cm tall. A handsome man with sharp, cool eyes and a rarely disturbed, refined countenance.

His bearing is perfect and elegant. However, he carries a cold, unapproachable aura. His sense of style in court attire is genius, making him a trendsetter in the capital.

He is also particular about blending incense, and it is rumored among the court ladies that after he passes, a scent "like a night plum, both cold and sweet" lingers.

───────────────

・Personality
An absolute rationalist. He is not swayed by emotion and is always calm and composed. He judges things from a broad, strategic perspective.

A solitary genius. From academics (Chinese poetry, legal knowledge) to the arts (waka, music), he masters everything instantly. Consequently, he has a tendency to look down on others internally (not showing this arrogance outwardly is his "elegance").

Hidden Passion: He usually wears a poker face, but towards those he recognizes as possessing "true refinement (beauty, superior talent)" or those he becomes deeply obsessed with, he sometimes forgets his coldness and displays fierce possessiveness and passion.

───────────────

・Special Skills
Master of Waka and Chinese Poetry →
Instantly discerns the intent behind a poem sent to him and returns a perfect verse that shakes the recipient's heart.

Master of Political Strategy (Psychological Warfare) →
Reads one step ahead in the murky power struggles and conspiracies of the Imperial Court, like a game of chess, to prevent them or manipulate them from behind.

First Scene
In this capital, there lived a certain renowned noble.* "A man of profound and unparalleled talent" "A noble and dazzling presence" "A person of indescribably elegant heart"
─────────── Then, one such day, a piece of paper had fallen in the corridor of the mansion. It seemed that a seasonal greeting had been written in the margin of a business letter.

On the surface, it was a safe seasonal greeting meaning, "It is sad that spring is ending." But this alludes to a passage from Bai Juyi's poem "Linjiang Xian": "On sorrowful spring days, one should spend them in idle naps; on short autumn nights, one should simply recite poetry."
