Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1039

"I'll continue to serve as an Onmyoji, so that everyone can be protected. You can take care of logistics and provide support from behind."

"Great!"

"I will become Kyosuke-sama's most loyal supporter..."

The crowd was enthusiastic.

Kousaka Kyosuke wondered if he was trying to win over his subordinates.

half an hour.

Aoandon, having blown out a candle, gently asked, "So, who's next?"

A moment of silence fell over the area.

Then, a girl with bangs and a calm demeanor raised her hand.

Kyosuke Kosaka was not surprised.

Who is this enthusiastic girl?

That's Miku.

Miku is usually very proactive and positive.

When the two are alone, Kyosuke Kosaka often finds himself in a passive state.

Because Miku is too proactive.

He doesn't even need to take the initiative anymore.

"Please, Miss Miku, begin," said Aoandon.

Miku nodded gently.

"My story is rather short—a man went out on an errand, leaving three maids behind, instructing them not to wander off. The maids obeyed, quietly awaiting the man's return, as the faint evening bells tolled from the direction of the palace..."

Uh.

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless.

"He's familiar with these ghost stories too."

That's right, Miku clearly shared her personal experience.

Thinking of this, Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at Yukino and Satsuki, the two people involved.

Yukino was slightly surprised to see this, while Satsuki clearly showed a look of regret.

It seems that May also wants to talk about this.

They truly are sisters.

There is just one problem.

For example, May was so nervous that she started sweating... It's obvious she couldn't think of any other ghost stories.

Kyosuke Kosaka found it amusing, but secretly sent a telepathic message to May to reassure her.

The purpose of this event is to help everyone relax, not to create psychological pressure like completing homework or tasks.

Otherwise, we would lose sight of our original purpose.

After Miku finished telling the story, Haruno quietly leaned close to Yukino's ear.

"I never knew you had such an interesting experience back then, Yukino."

"This was a rather exciting experience."

Yukino admitted it.

She didn't argue.

Recalling that time, the deep-seated horror is now difficult to recall.

Furthermore, compared to her sister Haruno's experiences in Heijō-kyō, she felt it was nothing.

"Wow...that's exciting. Yukino has completely changed."

Yang sighed, his heart filled with rather complex emotions.

My sister, whom I haven't seen for half a year, has really matured a lot.

It's much more difficult to flirt with someone than before.

Yang suddenly felt lonely and thought it would be more appropriate to look forward to a romantic relationship or to the warmth of family, like that of a younger brother or sister.

"...Sister, is your story about yourself?"

Yukino asked again.

Yang's eyes crinkled into a smile as she gazed at Yukino: "I won't tell you~ Look forward to it."

Yukino turned her face away: "I'm not looking forward to it..."

Upon seeing this scene, Yang felt a familiar sense of joy welling up within him once again.

All I can say is that the story is absolutely fantastic.

"Is that so? I don't think so."

"Looks like you want to challenge me."

"Hmph, the word 'challenge' isn't quite right. You could use a different word. For example, competition."

"You're really arrogant. I won't hold back."

"You think you'd do that?"

"Hehe, Yukino really understands me."

Yang Nai grinned, a cold smile playing on his lips.

She would ruthlessly defeat and suppress anyone who made any subjective provocations or challenges.

Even if it's your own sister, it's the same.

"It seems Yukino is still as cute as ever..."

Suddenly, Yang thought of things related to love.

She inadvertently thought of suppressing this aspect.

I wonder if there's any way I can beat my sister?

Ha ha.

Forget it, if we really do that, my sister will cry.

Thinking of all this, Yang smiled brightly.

For Yukino, Haruno's smile was extremely provocative.

Therefore, Yukino put all her effort into it.

Fumino, who was standing next to Yukino, was pushed aside by the seemingly raging fire of fighting spirit behind her.

"Ah~"

"Feel sorry."

Fumino looked apologetically at the pink-haired girl beside her.

The girl, Yui Yuigahama, quickly lowered her head: "...No, no, it's my fault, Mrs. Fumino."

"It was my fault. It's okay, you don't need to be nervous. Since we're all here, we're all equal."

"……what?!"

"Well, just like Mrs. Fumino said."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been watching the scene unfold, patted Yuigahama Yui on the shoulder.

Fumino felt embarrassed when she heard Hiratsuka Shizuka address her as Fumino: "Miss Shizuka, please call me Fumino."

"Calling her 'Madam' is more formal."

"It's better to proceed according to the level of maturity, since people here don't care about these formalities anyway."

"Mature... Hahaha, Fumino has such good taste..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed happily.

This is quite noticeable in the atmosphere of the Hyakumonogatari gathering, which is filled with a sense of horror.

No one around them glanced at them.

After all, Hiratsuka Shizuka is always like this.

Yui Yuigahama, however, seemed slightly bewildered.

Everyone I saw was in small groups, chatting and interacting. These groups would occasionally merge back into each other and continue their conversations... It was very lively.

Yui Yuigahama watched with great envy.

She was especially envious of her classmate Yukino, who had just seen her sister chatting and competing with her in a very energetic manner.

"Yui, do you have any stories in mind?"
