Samurai of Hyuga Book 3 (Patreon/Early Access info on Post 1297!)

I already said that once before, but alternative could be time skip in the epilogue, not in the middle of the story.

Well, such plotline could be done in different ways, up to possibility for pure love from Kid side and strong affection from Ronin for the length of story… until some kind of epilogue set years later, when Masami/Masashi already old enough to not let this stupid angsty ronin continue to push their away.
