I’m very amused by the furigana in this series, no joke. Seems like kiseru is a valid reading. However, eyeliner is not a vaild reading for kumadori.
| Word | Reading | Furigana | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 特性の油 | とくせいのあぶら | ローション | lit. “special oil” |
| 煙管 | えんかん・キセル | キセル | Japanese smoking pipe |
| 隈取 | くまどり | アイライン | style of kabuki makeup used for violent roles |
| 長椅子 | ながいす | カウチ | couch, bench, ottoman |
As for the story so far: Sudden subtle display of affection? 
Confusion ensues for all characters present. Something has definitely changed mainly for the male main character since the end of the last volume. Not behind the scenes, they just haven’t talked about it properly. I want to see that talk. Maomao is in strong denial, trying to convince herself the soft thing she accidentally touched was a (そこそこ) frog that had snuck inside the pants when they fell over and not the real thingie (which was not even supposed to be there because that’s the rule for non-imperial men to be allowed into the imperial palace. They have to be eunuchs. No wonder the entire scene back then was a big shock for her).
