Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1323

He said he was going to go to the Yorozuya in the suburbs to see what was going on.

In general.

Minamoto no Hiromasa is still a very busy person.

In particular, their spirit of selfless dedication—acting for the benefit of others without expecting anything in return—is something many people should learn from.

There's no need for Kyosuke Kousaka.

He had to take care of Kagura and his other companions, while also conserving his energy to prepare for battle.

"Since Brother Raikou is about to start building an army to fight against the evil god, Kyosuke, you should go back to the government office these days. Also, you need to take care of the accommodations around Renka as soon as possible."

“That’s right, that’s what I think too. I’ll go ask Su Yi if she has anything to add, and then ask the others when we get back tonight.”

"Kyosuke, you should go home early today. Yesterday, Suzune and Kaede seemed really looking forward to having dinner with you."

"Could it be that you want to ask me about martial arts? Hmm, I really need to go back soon."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded seriously.

All I could think of were pixelated images.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "How come all the girls from the same school have such amazing figures..."

Ignore the murmurs in my mind.

Kousaka Kyosuke immediately went to Suyi and told her about Minamoto no Yorimitsu's plan to form an army in Kyoto to fight against the evil god.

Of course, those who listened were not only those in plain clothes, but also those in simple robes and Kinnara, who loved to join in the fun.

"Forming a large army? I remember when you and Lord Kyosuke were fighting against Mount Oe together, a lot happened in Kyoto, like many things started to go up in price."

Su Chang couldn't help but recount what she had seen and heard.

Kinnara asked doubtfully, "Doesn't the imperial court care?"

"It seems there was a decree prohibiting price increases, but weren't the markets where things were sold all owned by noble families? They weren't willing to abide by such a decree, and prices still increased by almost half at that time."

"Wow, that's outrageous!"

Fortunately, the price gradually returned to normal after a while.

"That's alright, that's alright~" Kinnara nodded repeatedly.

Kyosuke Kosaka's gaze was once again drawn to the blue wings on Kinnara's head, which resembled small ornaments.

The small wings are like ornaments, yet they are as small and delicate as a bird's wings.

It gives people a very magical feeling.

Just like the tails of the Moon Chaser, the White Wolf, and the Mountain Rabbit, they are very cute.

“If it were Lord Raikou…” Su Yi slowly began, “I think he would still carefully consider this important issue, since this matter is probably not as easy as the campaign against Mount Oe.”

Kagura also agreed.

"Yes, the main problem is that it's hard to say exactly when the evil god will make his move. Gathering forces without knowing the exact time will consume a lot of manpower and resources."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "There are indeed many problems, but we can't not do them. Otherwise, when the evil god starts to make his move, I'm afraid there won't be any time for everyone to prepare."

"Huh? Why didn't we prepare this before?" Su Chang noticed something suspicious.

Kinnara also kept saying, "Yes, yes~"

Kyosuke Kosaka thought the two were suited for stand-up comedy, and he did try to explain it verbally.

"Although the exact whereabouts of the evil god cannot be found, the increasing number of traces of him indirectly indicates that he is about to reveal himself..."

Kinnara then said, "Isn't this uncertain?"

"We have to do it even if we're not sure!" This time, Su Chang helped explain, her face beaming. "Like what Lord Kyosuke just said, it will be too late once the evil god makes his move!"

"After all, preparations for battle take time. It's not just about supplies; we also need to train soldiers who may not have much combat experience..."

When it comes to matters related to combat, Su Chang speaks eloquently.

Her interests are somewhat similar to Miku's.

In fact, the two often talked enthusiastically about topics related to war.

"In short, we also need to make proper preparations for the manor," Su Yi concluded after Su Chang finished speaking.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed: "Haven't we been preparing all along? Just proceed as usual."

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke."

Su Yi obediently lowered her head and agreed.

Indeed, as Kyosuke Kosaka said, she had vaguely discussed this matter with her clansmen.

The tribespeople also tacitly agreed to continue to intensify their training.

As for the others? Su Yi couldn't say, but she hoped that the clansmen could actively encourage those people to work together.

"So what is Lord Kyosuke going to do next?" Su Chang asked curiously.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Go to the civilian area near the city gate and get some things done quickly."

"Oh, yes, there are some of Lord Kyosuke's vassals over there too."

Su Chang's large, tea-colored eyes blinked, sparkling like stars.

Kyosuke Kosaka had no doubt that Su Chang's eyes would shine even when the background suddenly shifted to night.

"Let's go together."

Kousaka Kyosuke patted Su Chang's head.

He glanced again at the dignified and elegant face of the woman in plain clothes, and couldn't help but smile at her.

Su Yi felt helpless and had no intention of continuing to argue.

However, after seeing Kinnara being patted on the head along with her younger sister Sushang, Suyi was speechless once again.

Isn't this a goddess...?

364. First Encounter / Sonoda Umi's Younger Brother / Date and Observations

After bidding farewell to Su Yi, Kousaka Kyosuke set off with Kagura, Su Chang, and Kinnara.

The destination is Menreiki and Renka's residence.

The target is related to other mansions around the two people's residence.

At this time, Menreiki and Renka lived in a place that had just changed from a noble district to a commoner district.

In addition, other old houses that were too dilapidated to be repaired are being rebuilt.

Then, in addition to those of the same clan and lineage who are somewhat related to Kousaka Kyosuke's world, the people who will be moving in will also have some of their own vassals.

Yes, it should be.

It has not yet been decided which dependents will move in, so some of the completed houses are still empty.

It's not that anyone doesn't want to live here, but rather that everyone is very "humble".

Perhaps she was worried that agreeing too quickly would affect his impression of her, or perhaps she was hesitating and struggling with her decision?

Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't quite sure why, but he knew he had to resolve the issue quickly.

"Occupying a large number of vacant houses is definitely not a good thing at this time. At least some people should live in them to avoid criticism."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

Even though it was Fujiwara no Michitsuna who handled it, it doesn't mean that everything will be foolproof if the situation changes.

Let's hurry up and stuff everyone into the empty rooms first.

After all, once Minamoto no Yorimitsu announced that he would form an army to fight against Yamata no Orochi, rumors would probably spread like wildfire.

But no matter what, Kyoto, where most of the military forces were concentrated, would definitely be considered the safest place.

At that time, there would probably be quite a few nobles who wanted to move in.

Who knows, this place, once a noble district, might have its past brought up again, and then be subjected to all sorts of slander.

Despite believing the chances were not low, Kyosuke Kousaka decided to avoid trouble as much as possible.

"You go find Menreiki first, then go to Lianhua's side. I'll check the situation first and come back soon."

Upon arriving at a place not far from Menreiki's residence, Kousaka Kyosuke spoke to the people around him.

"Okay, Master Kyousuke~"

Take your time.

"Thank you for your hard work~"

"...Okay, I'm leaving."

As Su Chang, Kagura, and Kinnara spoke in turn, Kousaka Kyosuke turned and left.

At the same time, he secretly resented Kinnara for frequently imitating the words and actions of others.
