Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1121

Ever since she learned of Isshiki Iroha's identity, she had been thinking of a suitable reason.

Unexpectedly, Yukino didn't even intend to come up with a reason!

What's wrong with this world?

No, the correct question should be what happened to this once innocent and adorable student.

"From an objective point of view, when Caiyu and her parents returned to their original residence, they faced not only rejection from other members of their tribe, but also a high probability that even the tribespeople who accompanied them would not have a good impression of them..."

"Eh?!"

"It's not a good thing to let a girl fix the mistakes made by a group of men."

Seeing Yui Yuigahama's surprised look, Yukino offered an explanation.

Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a gloomy expression, "Yes, women have no status in this world. Even if they make great contributions, they will only be met with more hostility and suppression from men."

"This one……"

Isshi Iroha's eyes widened.

At this moment, I realized once again that my situation was even more terrifying than before.

Not only the tribespeople who had stayed there before, but even the tribespeople who traveled with them this time probably harbored quite strong resentment.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.

My understanding of human nature is still not deep enough.

"In other words, the chances of Aya and her parents surviving are very low..."

Yui Yuigahama considered the situation following Yukino's line of thought, and a sad expression appeared on her face.

She got it.

At this point, if I don't help my junior, Isshiki Hatake, I might never see her again.

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought about it in even more detail.

"If I could make those humiliating women like Aya disappear, wouldn't that salvage some of my reputation? At the very least, it would prevent me from becoming even more disgraced."

The thought of this possibility sent chills down Hiratsuka Shizuka's spine.

Born into the large Taira clan, although there was no extravagant lifestyle to enjoy, there were still basic guarantees.

In the past, due to his status, he could not move around freely and had few opportunities to learn more about the situation of this era.

Now, Yukino's reminder has made me realize this.

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally realized what was happening.

In this era, even a casual action can cost you your life!

"I'll go talk to Kyosuke-sama right now, but you'll have to be careful yourself, Sensei..."

Yukino glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka strangely, then turned and left.

"...Xiaoxue".

Yui Yuigahama watched Yukino leave with longing eyes, wanting to follow, yet feeling that she shouldn't.

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt bitter after being reminded by Yukino.

"This is bad. I think I should pay a visit to Yukino's mother..."

I'm an adult now.

It's embarrassing to have a child much younger than yourself help solve a problem, and it will probably leave a bad impression on the child's mother and other family members.

How embarrassing! I want to die!

the other side.

After learning from her servant that Kousaka Kyosuke was free, Yukino went to see him.

The fact that there was no delay speaks volumes.

"Okay, if you say we're compatible, then we're compatible, but we need to prove it to everyone first."

Kyosuke Kosaka said in a very serious tone.

Yukino's eyelids twitched, but she still said without hesitation, "I will prove it to you!"

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but laugh: "After you've experienced the fun of having two Yui, remember to tell me how you felt."

"..."

Yukino didn't speak, but turned her head away, pretending not to hear.

Enjoying Yukino's feigned ignorance, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't resist and hugged her, whispering something to her...

Day 397 of crossing

Having received some information, Kyosuke Kousaka took Kagura to the government office to check the detailed documents.

He was startled.

"The ancestral sacrifice is coming soon," Kagura said softly.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded slightly: "The barrier around Kyoto will weaken over the next period of time, so we need to be more careful than usual."

I didn't pay much attention to the ancestral worship ceremony last year, but this year's ceremony will probably be followed by the Ghost King's Feast.

Now, when I think back to the plot, I suddenly remember this crucial point.

Oh no, we really need to cleanse the mirror shards; he just wanted to slack off.

290. Work/Related to False Gods/Thanks for Not Killing/Feast

Next.

Under the arrangement of Kyosuke Kosaka, preparations for various matters related to the ancestral worship ceremony are being actively carried out.

At this time, Kyoto is as peaceful as ever.

That's not actually the case.

Those who are Onmyoji, and even those who have some connection with Onmyoji, know that there will be another wave of crisis coming.

However, given the current situation, it's always a matter of "singing the good and never the bad."

Even though the sea monsters from the Sea Kingdom recently invaded, the news that ordinary people hear is always good news.

As Kyosuke Kosaka emphasized, if an ordinary person were to ask...?

Then say things like "The battle is almost over," "We've already killed a lot of monsters," or "The situation is under control."

After all, causing panic can lead to uncontrollable chaos and a gradual collapse of order.

It will likely take a long time to process this later.

It would be better to take preventative measures first.

After finishing his business, he left the official residence.

Kagura suddenly said, "Kyosuke, shall we go check on Menreiki?"

"I was just about to go over there. You seem to care about her a lot."

Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and patted Kagura's head.

Let's use our head-patting skills today.

This is something I do every day.

Younger companions such as Sagiri, Komachi, Moeha, and Megumi are also indispensable.

"Because I felt she was lonely."

“I would like to spend more time with her, but she prefers to stay at home. But it’s okay, I have this treasure.”

"A lifeline? Yes, that's all you need."

Kagura suddenly realized what was going on when she saw the red thread in Kousaka Kyosuke's hand.

The predestined connections provided by the God of Fate are magical.

Being tied together does indeed allow for a subtle connection with her husband.

If one's awareness is strong enough, it is even possible to have a conversation over a great distance.

Of course, this will drain the energy of both parties, so it's generally best to avoid using it.

However, Menreiki is skilled at manipulating souls and has a strong spirit. Her husband is also quite powerful, so there shouldn't be any major problems for the two of them to communicate from time to time through the Fate Line.

In this way, Menreiki won't be too lonely.

Looking at Kagura's relaxed expression, Kyosuke Kousaka felt quite emotional.

Take a virtuous wife.

"Having a wife who is very understanding of her partner's feelings is truly a blessing."

The size of the imperial harem is now quite large.
