The bucket infests the world.

Samiu, who was entrusted with managing a repair shop in the downtown area of the imperial capital by his older brother, fell in love with a knight named Shoshyu whom he met in the capital—while being mistaken for a man. Believing that, being older and of common birth, he could never become the type of girl Shoshyu preferred, Samiu chose to remain friends until his brother returned home. But his fate begins to change when he meets Shoshyu's older brother's fiancée. This is a story set slightly after a short story I wrote previously, but with a different protagonist. ※It's not a bucket. I think you should be fine reading just this, aside from the reason the bucket plays a major role. ※Buckets appear in large quantities. It has been published as a book by Morning Star Books.
