Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1565

One of the quintuplets, Ichika, probably didn't come, or she'll come later?

Kousaka Kyosuke made a guess in his mind.

"The clingy Ichika isn't here... Could it be that she feels she needs to fulfill her responsibilities as the older sister?"

Before he knew it, Kyosuke Kosaka thought of the quintuplets' mother, Komachi's mother, and others. Their due dates should be around this time, I think.

In short, what we can be sure of is that it hasn't been born yet.

"I haven't just been drawing lately, I've also learned some other things, can you guess what they are?"

As soon as she sat down, Sagiri asked Kyosuke Kousaka a question.

Kousaka Kyosuke said without thinking: "Cooking."

"Huh...how did you know?"

"you guess."

"Someone else must have told you that."

"I'm sorry, I was just guessing." Kousaka Kyosuke smiled apologetically at Sagiri.

A sweet smile gradually appeared on Sagiri's face: "Looks like this is what they mean by telepathy~"

Sorry.

For now, I'm treating you like a younger sister, not a lover.

In his mind, Kyosuke Kosaka gave Sagiri a "little sister card".

Of course, he knew he couldn't say such things aloud, otherwise Sagiri's heart would surely be shattered.

But Kyosuke Kousaka can't act like a beast, can he?

Let's wait a few more years until Sagiri's body and mind are fully developed before discussing anything else.

In any case, he will eventually treat Sagiri as his lover.

After all, the relationship was already established, and he wouldn't go against it.

When the dishes were served to the table, Sagiri remained silent.

While it's acceptable to talk during a meal, it's impolite to chat incessantly.

"Huh... this dish has a very unique style." Suddenly, Kyosuke Kousaka, who was about to eat, noticed something unusual.

"Lord Kyosuke, would you like to guess again?" Sei Shonagon smiled mischievously when he heard Kousaka Kyosuke mention it. "You might not be able to guess."

Kyosuke Kousaka chuckled.

He immediately scanned his surroundings and spotted the somewhat flustered and timid person in the courtyard.

This shikigami is seated on the edge, making it difficult for others to notice it.

However, given Kousaka Kyosuke's abilities, it didn't make much difference whether he sat on the edge or in front of him, so he was naturally able to immediately detect the unnaturalness in Tenjo-shita's expression.

"It's Tenjo-shita! I never imagined you'd become so remarkable by now."

"No, that's not true... Compared to everyone else, I've only done some insignificant things."

"Where is that so? Do you think everyone would agree with you?"

When Kousaka Kyosuke heard Tenjo's very humble words, he denied them without hesitation, and in doing so, he also led everyone down.

“It’s delicious! The dishes made by Tenjo-shita suit everyone’s taste.” Kaori spoke immediately after Kousaka Kyosuke finished speaking, looking at Tenjo-shita with a serious expression.

In fact, what she said was true.

Compared to Nino's cooking, Kyoko felt they were equally good.

Furthermore, since Tenjo-shita seems to have a better understanding of Kyoto's local style, her cuisine reflects that style, which differs from Nino's more modern approach.

“It has a unique Kyoto flavor,” Sei Shonagon commented. “In this respect, the tenjo-kado is the best I’ve ever done, and that’s no exaggeration.”

Sei Shonagon originally intended to describe the unique features of the Imperial Palace, but felt that was inappropriate, so she instead described them as the unique features of Kyoto.

Actually, she was very curious about how Tianjingxia knew these things.

When she first ate the dish, she thought it was made by the imperial chefs in the palace.

"A specialty of Kyoto?" Longkui, who had been listening to everyone's conversation and wasn't planning to eat, picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, only to find that the flavor was a bit bland.

"It emphasizes the original flavor of the ingredients more, and the presentation looks more unique..."

Compared to Nino in the manor.

Longkui believes that each has its own unique characteristics, but she prefers Nino's.

Because not only are all of Nino's dishes delicious, but she also makes a wide variety of different types of dishes.

Longkui was particularly fascinated by the stir-fries.

It's obvious that this type of cooking style, like the one under the ceiling, can't use too many seasonings.

“These days I’ve also been asking the people in the courtyard for advice.”

"The vegetable-based preparations are truly amazing..."

Both Yotsuba and May praised the courtyard.

Amidst the shower of praise in the room, Kyosuke Kosaka gleaned a considerable amount of information from their words.

For example, Yotsuba will also learn to cook like Miku.

May is subtly suggesting that Nino, the older sister, is not as good at handling vegetables as Tenjo-shita.

Since pulling and stepping are definitely inappropriate, this is the only way to express it.

This also shows May's attitude towards cooking—even with her sisters, she takes food seriously and will never be biased.

It seems that the otherworldly vegetables and fruits I placed in my space should be a big surprise for May.

And then there's Fumino.

Kyosuke Kousaka glanced at Fumino without realizing it and noticed that she was swallowing hard, trying her best to pretend she didn't care.

Haha, let's not say anything more right now.

"Let's eat. If we praise the courtyard again, she'll get carried away, and the food will get cold. That would be a waste of her good intentions."

Kyosuke Kosaka's cheerful voice broke the slight commotion, and he immediately picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. Seeing this, everyone else also picked up their chopsticks, smiling as they ate, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious…

483. Reality and Trivial Matters / Invisible Brainstorming

Dinner is over.

Kyosuke Kosaka also briefly recounted some of his observations and experiences in the world where Shiijin lived.

Although he immediately wrote a letter to share this information with everyone upon his return, it certainly wasn't as direct as saying "I want to be strong" in person.

Incidentally, Kyosuke Kosaka also brought out many kinds of fruit.

These fruits don't necessarily need to be eaten right away; it's nice to show them to everyone first.

"They're all very special..."

Xiangzi felt a sense of wonder when she saw the various familiar fruits that were so common in shopping malls in the modern world.

Of course, Xiangzi is not the only one with these feelings; there are many people from the modern world as well.

"It's very special."

Besides marveling at the wonders of the world, Mengye was also amazed by her husband's incredible abilities.

Fighting against evil foes, saving the world, traveling to other worlds... these are not the most common protagonist encounters in various anime and games in the modern world.

For Kyosuke Kousaka, this is practically everyday life.

This also meant that she felt very little surprise when she saw the fruit.

Perhaps this is just commonplace.

"Are they all sweet?" Sagiri couldn't help but ask Kagura beside her.

Kagura nodded her head with absolute certainty:

"They're sweet, but some are a perfect balance of sweet and sour, like this yellow fruit, and this strange fruit that's a bit prickly to eat... You need to soak the peeled fruit in salt water for a while."

Pineapple!

This thought has crossed the minds of many people.

"Does 'sting the mouth' mean?" Tenjo couldn't help but ask curiously.

Kagura replied, "There is a very slight stinging sensation, but it doesn't seem to be something to worry about."

"That sounds exciting! Trying it once in a while would be a great experience!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was already holding a pineapple in her hand, which was slightly prickly due to its burrs, and she looked quite excited.

In her opinion, it's better to have some novelty in life from time to time.

Whether it's the issues we face or other material needs.

“I’d like to try them all,” Yang Nai said with a smile. “I’d also like to try planting the remaining seeds.”
