Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Yes, Kagura, you're right."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

Menreiki immediately understood.

"Is it because other parts of Kyoto are becoming increasingly unsafe?"

"Yes, so it's not surprising that some people move here for safety reasons, but it probably isn't that easy."

"Yes, that's right. People won't just move into a place that was once inhabited by nobles so easily."

Kinara felt dizzy listening to the complicated explanations from Kousaka Kyosuke, Menreiki, and Kagura.

After thinking about it for a moment, she finally voiced her opinion: "So, it should still be possible for people to move in, right?"

Kousaka Kyosuke thought about it for a moment and then said:

"Someone will definitely be able to move in, but their status will probably be a little different."

Kinnara looked dejected, his little wings drooping: "Everyone's life is really hard."

"Let's focus on living our own lives first."

Kyosuke Kosaka patted Kinnara's head again.

Menreiki said, "Actually, filling your stomach is the most important thing, but that's not quite done yet. You can try to help."

Kinnara was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

"Is this to encourage Eru and Chitanda?"

"That's a good idea."

"Oh! I'll play the pipa for them when they have time!"

Kinnara quickly rallied.

She's not an agricultural goddess, she can only offer encouragement!

They had just arrived at Menreiki's residence, and the group didn't continue discussing the rather heavy topic.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who believes he has done his best, is quite at ease.

how to say?

They have all researched and developed high-yield fixed-species corn varieties.

Is it really necessary to keep talking about contributions?

Sorry, he's just an ordinary person anyway.

Even with corn, they're only so proactive because it involves their own interests.

"There's nothing I can do to help."

The group entered the mansion.

Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that not only was there a mountain rabbit inside, but also a blue lantern?

"Mr. Kyosuke, Ms. Kagura..."

Upon seeing Kyosuke Kousaka, Yamausagi, who was still sitting, jumped up as if pricked by a needle.

What's amazing is that this rabbit didn't forget to greet Kyosuke Kousaka and the others.

Kyosuke Kosaka was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I want to recruit you, Yamausagi, as my shikigami. Would you be willing?"

Without any beating around the bush, he got straight to the point.

"I am willing to serve Lord Kyosuke as my master!"

Yamausagi paused for less than half a second before immediately walking in front of Kousaka Kyosuke and kneeling on one knee.

This time, it was Kyosuke Kosaka's turn to be stunned.

It wasn't just Kousaka Kyosuke; the same was true for everyone else.

Everyone was full of question marks.

"People in Kyoto Port say that when someone proposes to another woman, they kneel down on one knee..."

A soft, hushed sentence suddenly came from Menreiki's mouth.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dry cough was heard.

"Ahem," Kousaka Kyosuke covered his mouth as if trying to hide something, "Yamausagi, you can just call me as before, or just call me by my name, that would make me very happy."

In fact, he was quite familiar with Yamausagi's behavior.

Isn't this how Western knights show loyalty?

I guess he learned it from somewhere and now wants to put it to use.

Just like Yamausagi's current ninja outfit, it's probably something she heard about from somewhere.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain everything.

Despite his doubts, Kyosuke Kousaka reached out and helped Yamausagi.

"...Okay, Mr. Kyousuke."

The mountain rabbit, who had been helped up, was flushed, but ultimately remained calm and rational.

Even though my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

"Congratulations, Mountain Rabbit."

"Congratulations……"

Everyone was congratulating the mountain rabbit.

Among them, Aoandon, who was covering her mouth and laughing, had a hint of cunning in her eyes, and her gaze was directed in his direction.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but feel uneasy.

wrong.

Why should he be embarrassed?

"Come, everyone, sit down and let's talk." Menreiki, as the host, began to pour tea and serve water to everyone.

Not a moment later.

A group of people sat down and started chatting.

"Kyosuke, what have you been up to these past few days?"

"Don't make it sound like I'm always doing something big."

"Isn't this to let Yamausagi get used to the job?"

Aoandon seemed to have taken a liking to teasing Kousaka Kyosuke, and was enjoying herself immensely.

Kyosuke Kousaka looked utterly helpless.

"Sorry, I haven't really done anything these days."

Kagura corrected, "That's not the case. Researching the seeds was a very important task before."

The mountain rabbit asked curiously, "Studying seeds?"

"This needs to be explained in detail."

"Aoandon said with great interest."

She had always wanted to know.

But every time Kousaka Kyosuke wrote to her, it was always a long string of words that almost made her blush... She found it rather... awkward.

Now that the opportunity has arisen, we definitely have to seize it!

Oh.

It turned out to be the case.

Upon noticing Aoandon's expression, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately understood what was going on.

"Interested in corn?"

Having realized this, Kyosuke Kousaka knew exactly what to do.

After Kagura finished talking about corn, Kousaka Kyosuke made a suggestion.

"Why don't you two, Yamausagi and Aoandon, go visit the Water Department together? See what corn is like, what do you think?"

"Hey, is this okay?"

"Of course, that's possible. So, what's your opinion, Mountain Rabbit?"

After smiling at Aoandon, Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Yamausagi.

Yamausagi hurriedly said, "I'll follow Kyosuke-san wherever he goes!"

"I'm glad you said that."

Kyosuke Kosaka tried hard not to show anything unusual.
