Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1283

Kousaka Kyosuke laughed.

Suddenly I feel that Boqi-chan has improved quite quickly.

Even though she hasn't spoken to Boqi-chan face-to-face, being able to have a normal conversation now is already an amazing improvement.

Even the others were quite surprised.

Aside from the shikigami like Kinara, Yingcao, and Yamausagi, which I only recently got to know and bought from Boqi-chan.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

A group of people returned to the mansion.

Boqi-chan also went home to call her younger sister to her bedroom for dinner.

Seeing that Pochi-chan didn't seem too afraid of her past mother Michiyo, and her younger sister Goto Jiri were quite surprised.

"My sister isn't scared anymore!"

"...Everyone is doing well."

"Poch-chan said in a low voice, looking down."

Having realized that everyone was being very tolerant of her, she felt she could no longer be a coward.

Michiyo, who had vaguely noticed something amiss, covered her mouth and smiled.

"Then have fun! Even if you stay overnight in the bedroom, Mom won't worry."

"Okay, Mom~"

Goto Niri responded enthusiastically.

Boqi-chan was a little nervous.

Are you staying overnight?

I've been refusing to let anyone stay overnight, should I agree to show some courage?

In that case, everyone will definitely look at her in a new light, right?

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke was coming out of his study, he suddenly noticed Yamausagi walking out of his room, carrying a cup in her hand...

A strange yet familiar scent, which seemed to make Kyosuke Kousaka's whole body tremble, wafted through the air.

Kyosuke Kosaka stared blankly at Yamausagi.

"Kyo...Mr. Kyosuke."

Yamausagi quickly spotted Kousaka Kyosuke and stammered a greeting.

Kousaka Kyousuke twitched his lips and smiled.

"Is it water? I'm thirsty..."

Gollum~

Before Yamausagi could react, Kousaka Kyosuke took the cup from her hand and drank the water inside.

In the blink of an eye, the water was gone.

"Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything else bothering you now?"

After finishing his drink in one gulp, Kousaka Kyosuke calmly inquired about Yamausagi's health.

"No, no—I don't feel uncomfortable!"

The mountain rabbit, who had been stuttering a bit at the beginning, regained its composure quite quickly.

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, please tell me."

Kyosuke Kosaka continued speaking patiently.

The mountain rabbit obediently gave a soft "hmm," trying its best to hide its inner panic.

"I'll take the cup back."

"please."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and handed over the cup.

to be honest.

He didn't know why he wanted to drink it immediately.

Perhaps this behavior has become ingrained?

Well, it probably doesn't matter.

"If the mountain rabbit is going to throw it away anyway, then I might as well drink it and not waste it."

As Kousaka Kyosuke thought about it, he felt it was even better.

Okay, let's just leave it at that.

"See you later, Mr. Kyosuke."

Yamausagi took the cup and turned to leave.

Kyosuke Kosaka secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems like they've gone too far.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka really missed it after not having drunk it for a while.

And so, I accidentally did something so abrupt...

This will probably cause the mountain rabbit a lot of trouble.

Oh no, I've become too decadent!

It turned out that they were defeated by their appetite.

But since it has already happened, it's better to pay more attention to Yamausagi's future condition.

It was time for dinner.

Kousaka Kyosuke noticed that Yamausagi was acting normally, and was temporarily relieved.

Suddenly I came to my senses.

He immediately realized that his previous behavior was practically no different from that of a pervert.

Even if he were arrested and executed, it wouldn't be unjust.

"Lord Kyosuke, it's almost July."

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Seeing that Sei Shonagon had taken the initiative to speak to him, Kousaka Kyosuke got straight to the point and asked.

The others also looked over curiously, observing silently.

Sei Shonagon was puzzled by Kousaka Kyosuke's indifference.

"There's quite a lot going on in July. Like the Qixi Festival, the Ghost Festival, sumo wrestling..."

"Oh, you mean I'll be very busy then? Definitely not."

"Lord Kyosuke, in previous years these matters were overseen by the head of the Minamoto clan."

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke was instantly petrified.

Kyoko, Fujishikibu, and some other perceptive individuals also sensed something was amiss.

"Noko, are you saying that Lord Kyosuke might be assigned to oversee these matters?"

Su Chang directly spoke her mind.

Sei Shonagon nodded; she herself had only just realized this problem.

After all, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who had just become the head of the Minamoto clan, had virtually no presence in her life.

However, Sei Shonagon still had a deep impression of Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

In particular, in this year, Lai Guang began to appear in many ceremonies.

And from time to time, they will publicly express statements such as "the threat of monsters".

However, since he often seems to be busy with something, he is almost always seen only on formal occasions.

Therefore, Sei Shonagon did not have a deep impression of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the newly appointed head of the Minamoto clan.

"Yes, although the possibility is very low, it can't be said that it's impossible—sorry, I just remembered it now."

"You didn't think of this because you were planning how to celebrate the Qixi Festival this year, did you?"

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly laughed again.
