Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1274

Well, he now understands Su Chang's terrifying abilities.

Unbeknownst to me, I had affected another person.

Kinara was unaware that Kousaka Kyosuke was already making sarcastic remarks.

At this moment, she was chatting happily with Nozomi Tojo, Honoka, and others—

"Keep up the good work! There's another band playing guitar and bass over at the manor."

"Oh? Does the manor have a professional band?"

Rin Hoshizora was utterly shocked upon hearing Kinnara's words.

It turns out they actually have strong competitors!

“No…” Eli Ayase looked conflicted. “It would be difficult for an a cappella performance to compete with an instrumental band that has a much richer repertoire of songs.”

Nozomi Tojo also felt considerable pressure after hearing about her competitors.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck me.

“Miss Kinnara, we were actually dancers who had received rigorous training before.”

Honoka nodded eagerly: "Yes, yes, you dance really well!"

Sonoda Umi said seriously, "Yes, singing and dancing at the same time is not a big problem at all."

Minami Kotori let out a cry of "Ah!"

"This is a bit strenuous..."

Sonoda Umi became even more serious: "Yes, you can!"

This is the time to be proactive.

So how can you say no?

"—Yes, yes, I can do it!"

Minami Kotori straightened her back reflexively and echoed Sonoda Umi's words.

Flames were burning behind Nico Yazawa.

"Absolutely no problem! We'll do our best! We'll make Kyosuke-sama absolutely love it!"

I've thought about it many times.

Nico Yazawa discovers that the only way to satisfy Kyosuke Kousaka is to put on a performance that pleases him.

This would increase her chances of moving her family into the estate in the future.

As for the others, there's nothing Nico can do about it right now, so she can only stop thinking about it.

"Like...what do you mean 'like'? Nicole, you're talking weird!"

Nishikino Maki blushed and retorted.

Nico Yazawa rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking?"

Seeing so many beautiful girls around Kyosuke Kosaka, she felt even more certain that no one else could possibly be chosen.

Furthermore, Yazawa Nico had seen other nobles in the places she had stayed before.

These nobles were all quite good-looking, and their gorgeous attire only added to their charm.

It's almost like watching an idol drama!

In contrast.

They are all fairly ordinary.

Hmm, thinking about it this way, the nobleman in front of me, who has a very easygoing personality, is also quite handsome.

"He seems to be the kind of man whose looks grow on you. He doesn't look particularly special at first glance, but he's like a warm spring breeze..."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Maki Nishikino pursed her lips, looking somewhat displeased.

She has a strong sense of self-respect and doesn't like others to deny her charm.

Nico Yazawa's casual remark seemed to imply that she could never be liked.

"No, I still have to admit your charm, though you're just a little less attractive than me."

Nico Yazawa raised a pink eyebrow.

His hands were spread wide open.

Rin Hoshizora scratched her face: "I feel like Nico, the range of your gestures is beyond just a little bit."

Shouldn't a tiny bit be created by using your thumb and forefinger to squeeze out just a tiny distance?

“Nicole, Maki…”

Koizumi Hanayo whispered anxiously, trying to persuade him.

Seeing that Yazawa Nico and Nishikino Maki seemed to be arguing, she, as their companion, naturally had to go and mediate.

"You shouldn't have pointless arguments at this serious time."

Eli Ayase solemnly warned.

Tojo Nozomi said with a smile:

"Eri, things about female charm are also important, so this isn't just a pointless argument~"

Eli Ayase said with a headache, "Aren't we talking about accommodation now?"

Tojo Nozomi: "It's all settled now. Isn't it enough for everyone to just have a place to train?"

The place to live doesn't need to be luxurious.

It's enough to provide shade and shelter from the rain.

Why do we need so much?

Kinnara immediately added:

"Don't worry, each of you will definitely have your own room. You can decorate it however you like. Kyosuke always pays attention to this."

Huh?

Tojo Nozomi was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Kinara to say that.

Even Nico Yazawa and Maki Nishikino, who were still glaring at each other, looked at Kinara in surprise.

"You have your own room?"

The two people who were arguing just a moment ago suddenly spoke the same words in unison and with perfect understanding.

Clearly, having their own room seems to be very important to them.

"really?"

Honoka's eyes sparkled.

Kinara nodded: "Yes. Kyosuke will help take care of all the food, clothing, and accommodation for anyone he actively recruits. That's what I'm doing now too."

"Ah, I almost forgot that Miss Kinara is also Kyosuke-sama's shikigami."

"Hehe, I forgot about it without even realizing it~ Who told Kyosuke to always take such good care of me? Come to think of it, it's my responsibility..."

Kinnara was conflicted yet couldn't help but show a happy expression.

It looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Seeing this, the others were unsure whether to disturb Kinnara.

"Hey."

"what……"

There seems to be quite a commotion outside.

Kinnara, with his keen senses, immediately came to his senses.

"I'm going out to find Kyosuke. You guys wait here for a bit."

After saying that, he walked out.

The others who remained in the room were unaware of the commotion outside, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

"Wow, I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful owner! Thank you for your blessing!"

Honoka had already clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and expressed her gratitude to the heavens and even the gods.

I never expected that the nobleman who shared the same name as my cousin would be so gentle and considerate.

Who knows, this nobleman might just be his cousin's alter ego!

According to what they said on TV...

In different times, parallel histories, parallel universes, and parallel worlds, there will be someone similar to yourself.

They happen to have the same name and similar personalities.

—Maybe it really is!
