Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1625

Having been born into royalty, Longkui is actually quite sensitive to such matters of practical importance.

It was only after being with Kyosuke Kousaka that she gradually became dull-witted and unwilling to think.

But having already encountered this woman twice, does this indicate some kind of fate? Perhaps it is because of this that Longkui, who enjoys popular cuisine, still puts some thought into Satsuki.

In fact, it wasn't just Longkui who was paying attention; Kousaka Kyosuke also thought it was too coincidental and kept a close eye on it.

"What a coincidence. Kanji and Satsuki must be Ike Kanji and Shinohara Satsuki from 'Jikkyou.' I remember they were Kiyotaka's classmates, and now they're living together, but their marriage is in crisis because of that person who said goodbye to the yokai..."

Kyosuke Kosaka unconsciously pondered the cause and effect of the matter, finding it quite amazing that such a dramatic event was happening around him.

Not to mention, there are all sorts of people connected to them among them.

Satsuki is considered to be the younger sister of her partner, Kiryuin Fuuka.

Haruka, Kousaka Kyosuke still remembered seeing her sitting at the table with his other partner, Kushida Kikyo, when he was eating with Susanoo and Seimei. Judging from the situation, she was also his younger sister.

Kikyo Kushida's younger sister.

If we connect everything, then they all attended the same school in modern times.

As a result, they still maintained some connection after coming into this world.

From this perspective, one can still see a lot of human kindness in Kiryuin Fuka and Kushida Kikyo, especially Kushida Kikyo.

Kyosuke Kosaka guessed that Kikyo Kushida had put in a lot of effort in this regard, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why so many of her classmates were helping her.

As for what sense of superiority they want to gain from this?

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't think so. If that were the case, it wouldn't really matter, because Kikyo Kushida had genuinely helped him out.

Discuss the deeds but not the heart.

Who wouldn't wish for an angel to lend a helping hand on their life's journey?

Therefore, Kikyo Kushida is a genuine angel in this world.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who was silently watching all this, had a complex feeling.

Especially when he saw that the people she had helped were living much better lives than ordinary villagers, Kyosuke Kosaka felt a strange and indescribable emotion.

On the other side of the partition.

Haruka and Satsuki were still talking about marriage.

"Haruka, do you think men get arrogant and complacent when they have a little ability?"

"That depends on ability. Our Water Department doesn't follow the rule of 'virtue matching position,' like what happened at the Second Factory… you should remember what happened there, right?"

"Well... in short, here, people who are not capable cannot hold important positions."

"It's good that you understand these points. That's my answer. If you find it abstract, I can't find any other answers."

Haru gave her friend an answer in a different way.

She wasn't quite sure what the man who had given her a frivolous impression had actually done.

But she always understood that ability is absolutely the key to measuring a person's value. As long as someone has outstanding abilities in practical matters, they can be called a talent.

Then, he can naturally and rightfully enjoy the benefits that come with his ability.

The Water Department has always been very strict in its enforcement.

After joining the Water Department, Haruka has become increasingly aware of these rules and therefore strongly supports them.

At present, she is working with Ichinose Honami's classmate, Shiranami Chihiro, in a place called "Perfume House".

Because Kikyo Kushida discovered that they had a good sense of smell, she took them to get checked out. Then, relying on their keen sense of smell, they overcame all obstacles and surprisingly defeated one opponent after another.

This is why they now receive higher treatment than the average person.

After all, the people she served were the wives of those officials, so it was normal for them to receive high treatment.

However, Haruka always knew one thing—that Kikyo Kushida had done a great favor, practically saving her and her companions' lives!

If it weren't for Kikyo Kushida's knowledge of various job opportunities, they wouldn't even know where to find a platform to showcase their talents. More importantly, it was Kikyo Kushida's "protection" that made them so.

Haruka, who has been living in this world for almost two years, certainly knew this.

Otherwise, she and Chihiro Shiraha wouldn't have had such a comfortable working environment so easily. They might have started as perfumers' assistants instead of becoming perfumers' candidates from the beginning... This is also largely due to Kikyo Kushida showing them all sorts of information and knowledge.

And then there's... Horikita Suzune, who seems so cold and aloof.

Kikyo Kushida also mentioned that she helped with the tidying up...

Thinking of all this, Haruka felt a surge of gratitude, but when Satsuki, who had been silent for a while, spoke again, Haruka came back to her senses.

"Hearing you say that has strengthened my resolve."

"No, no, I didn't say anything!"

Haruka was unusually flustered.

How can she interfere in other people's marital affairs?

She just happened to be on her day off today, so she planned to come over and comfort her while she was eating. She didn't intend to do anything else.

"Don't worry," Satsuki smiled, "I made this decision after careful consideration, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"You're acting...something's very wrong."

"I'm fine, I'm just figuring out how to live a better life."

"Alright then—the food has just arrived."

"So you care more about food?"

"Hey."

That's enough about the serious topics.

Longkui, who had vaguely realized something, finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter was finally over!

If it weren't for this, she probably would have been agonizing over it for a long time.

Come to think of it, are the villagers here nowadays so particular about their words and actions?

Longkui thought about it and felt that this must be thanks to Kousaka Kyosuke, who made everyone under his command know how to think. Only in this way can a place be vibrant and wise, and know how to think, just like when he ruled his subjects.

"Kyosuke said that we're moving to another place in the future, and that we'll probably build a country here..."

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke was about to savor the meal, he suddenly spotted two familiar figures near the door: Kikyo Kushida and Suzune Horikita. This was a common pair, often seen together.

The two of them are looking around; they must be looking for someone, right? Uh, they've been discovered.

518. What are some examples of systems, newspapers, and popular foods?

Lord Kyosuke...

Both Kikyo Kushida and Suzune Horikita had rather strange feelings upon entering the restaurant.

Especially Kikyo Kushida, it seems this is the second time she has encountered Kyosuke Kousaka eating out.

Despite being the owner of the Shuibu Si Manor and the highest-ranking person there, he always acts as if no one else is around.

Whenever she saw this scene, Kikyo Kushida thought Kyosuke Kousaka was amazing.

This applies to both their methods and their personalities.

"What a coincidence, Haruka and Satsuki are over there too."

Seeing that Kyosuke Kousaka nodded to them and then continued eating, Kikyo Kushida decided to temporarily ignore Kyosuke Kousaka and the others.

This can be considered a unique tacit understanding.

"Let's go to the private room next door and get something to eat while we wait," Horikita Suzune suggested.

She felt that it was still inconvenient for Kousaka Kyosuke and the others to know about the topics she wanted to discuss later.

Now, when she thinks about how she was dragged along by Kikyo Kushida, she feels quite helpless.

After all, she didn't want to get involved in other people's marriages.

However, I do have a small circle of students from the same school, and it would be inappropriate to ignore someone in trouble now that they are in trouble.

To be honest, she has disliked this kind of group behavior since she can remember. In her view, it is a symbol of weakness and lack of independent thought.

However, the circle that Kushida Kikyo unknowingly built is indeed playing a role in saving people's lives in this manor. Logically speaking, Horikita Suzune should also feel that it has nothing to do with her and ignore it.

However, as Kikyo Kushida frequently sought help from Suzune Horikita, Suzune realized that she had eventually become part of the group and could only accept it helplessly.

This was something that would never have happened in Horikita Suzune's life.

However, it's impossible for Horikita Suzune not to be moved by the fact that her companions, brothers, and even her husband, Kousaka Kyosuke, were all helping others to the best of their ability.

In short, she did many things in a daze.

These past few days she has finally stepped into another field... Thinking about it, it really gives her a headache.

The two went to a slightly more expensive private room, ordered their food, and started chatting while waiting.

"Kikyo, let me ask you one more time. Do you think this is the right time to let Satsuki know about the changes to the divorce system?"

"Well, people need to know eventually. We're not the ones making the decisions, so we're just here to remind them."

"Just a 'reminder'?"
