Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1382

"To be able to treat a yokai as a guest is already an extraordinary feat."

Kasumigaoka said calmly.

The praise was quite obvious in his simple words.

Logically speaking...

Kasumigaoka is also a yokai, and ghosts that have not entered the cycle of reincarnation are also considered yokai.

Kasumigaoka, who usually lives a normal life just like humans, rarely thinks about the fact that she is a youkai.

But that doesn't mean she won't care.

"Alright, no need to explain anymore. I'll continue telling you about the fun things to do at the manor."

Enmusubi rolled her eyes at Kousaka Kyosuke, but her tone softened slightly when she looked at Kotobuki.

The differential treatment is very obvious.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't seem to mind too much.

After all, he still hoped that Kotobuki could be happier. He had promised to take Kotobuki out to relax but failed to do so, so naturally he had to make it up to her.

"Kyosuke, I'll pack some things too."

Kagura leaned closer and whispered.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and refused, "No way. Didn't I tell you that you need to keep your spiritual power above half? If you help me carry things, it definitely won't be enough."

"As for the Snow Mountain tribe, if they don't have enough supplies when they migrate, I can borrow some and pay them back to me later. There's nothing wrong with that."

Kasumigaoka, who was paying attention to the situation, also came over to remind them.

"Lord Kagura, neither you nor Lord Kyosuke should take unnecessary risks in such a tense moment."

"...Um, I'm sorry, I was too careless."

After a quick thought, Kagura immediately realized that she had been too careless and sloppy.

"It's best to always maintain the ability to protect myself, otherwise I'll become a burden to Kyosuke."

"Thanks to you, Shiyu, I thought it would take some time to reason with Kagura."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled at Kasumigaoka, feeling rather strange inside.

Kasumigaoka seemed more "anxious" than usual at this moment, probably because she was very worried about him.

"I was too presumptuous." Kasumigaoka was unusually flustered, and Kagura looked very embarrassed.

Kagura shook her little head.

"It's not presumptuous at all. I'm glad that Shiyu pointed it out. Sometimes I am indeed not careful enough when I think about some issues. I'm just glad that you pointed it out."

From beginning to end, Kagura always put Kousaka Kyosuke first.

She was just thinking of helping the Snow Mountain people carry some things and reducing their losses.

However, he carelessly overlooked the fact that his weakened strength made him less able to withstand risks, which would become a burden to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Although Kagura just realized that she would still have the strength to fight while helping carry things, it would greatly weaken her protection of Kousaka Kyosuke, which was very inappropriate.

She needs to reflect on this.

"You're not that you're not cautious enough, but rather that you're too considerate of others," Kyosuke Kosaka pointed out with a smile.

If the girl he likes has a kind personality, how can he possibly persuade her?

Of course, we should remind him from time to time to prevent him from developing into an overly accommodating person.

“That’s enough.” Kasumigaoka hesitated for a moment, then continued, “It may sound harsh, but the reality is that not kicking someone when they’re down is already the biggest help you can give…”

Frankly speaking, Kasumigaoka, who accepted Kyosuke Kousaka's help, has no right to say that.

However, given some concerns in her mind, Kasumigaoka decided to speak objectively about her reasons.

That's just the truth.

No one is obligated to help others who are in trouble.

"Ahem, that's too realistic. Don't say it again." Kousaka Kyosuke raised his hand and touched Kasumigaoka's lips.

He understood why Kasumigaoka had said those words, and therefore forbade Kasumigaoka from continuing in that manner.

He can handle this kind of thing.

"I've learned my lesson. I do need to be more careful."

"If you pay too much attention, then you are not Kagura."

Kyosuke Kosaka also raised his other free hand and touched Kagura's lips.

At this moment, he didn't want Kasumigaoka and Kagura to talk anymore.

There's nothing wrong with just staying quiet like this.

Kasumigaoka blushed and didn't move at all when his lips were touched.

Kagura stood there naturally, seemingly unaffected—she had countless intimate encounters with Kousaka Kyosuke on ordinary days, so this was nothing more than child's play.

However, this is still quite troubling for a certain god!

"Kyosuke, what are you doing, you idiot?! Don't be having such intimate conversations with two girls in front of him!!"

The god of marriage almost transformed into an angry giant.

Considering that Kotobuki would feel awkward seeing the ambiguous scene between Kosaka Kyosuke and the others, she could only keep using various methods to attract Kotobuki's attention.

I'm absolutely exhausted!!

She'll definitely have to complain about it properly later!

About half an hour passed.

Suzuhiko returned in a hurry.

"They got it all packed up so quickly?"

"Yes, could you see if you can move your things?"

"Please don't bring too many, especially large furniture items, I really can't handle them."

"Take a look first, and tell me directly if there are any problems."

"Looks like there are quite a few..."

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed inwardly.

I really don't want to get involved in this mess, but my partner's feelings towards me are still very important.

He wanted to make the best impression on his partner.

As for other things like fame, Kyosuke Kousaka really doesn't care about them at all.

Ultimately, he was a sophisticated egoist.

Being able to help is already the greatest kindness; how much to help should be determined based on the circumstances.

"It's good enough that we can save our lives."

Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't have any saintly heart.

No matter who says it, he will at most keep his conscience at a certain level.

Further improvement? Absolutely not!

He's not the kind of person who would do something good.

Or rather, even if he were a good person, he might not be able to survive.

therefore.

When Kousaka Kyosuke went outside, he would simply discard any large or overly heavy items belonging to the Snow Mountain Tribe.

“These tombstones are too heavy for me to carry.”

After picking out many items that couldn't be moved, Kousaka Kyosuke walked over to Suzuhiko and whispered something.

The tombstones don't look big, but they actually seem to contain a lot of metal, making them much heavier than ordinary stones. Even though there are only twenty or so, they are still quite heavy. Kousaka Kyosuke didn't want to expend too much spiritual energy on them.

Suzuhiko nodded: "I'll talk to them."

Immediately, Kyosuke Kosaka noticed that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly noisy.

The Goddess of Fate, who possessed the power to easily hear conversations, looked utterly bewildered and muttered to herself.

"Without help, it would be difficult to move so many heavy tombstones, right?"

Kasumigaoka frowned, feeling particularly irritated by the sight of some elderly people speaking loudly.

"I'd rather stay here and be with Chairman Mao," "We absolutely cannot lose this," "This is our root"...

"Enough! I'm not discussing this with you! This is an order!"

A sweet shout silenced all the noise.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had been pretending to sleep with his arms crossed and eyes closed, glanced at the camera and muttered, "They've finally arrived."

"I simply cannot carry these tombstones away right now! Nor can you carry these tombstones across this dangerous snowy region with its massive blizzards!"
