Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1011

The person has temporarily lost the ability to organize their thoughts.

In reality, she really wanted to tell Hiratsuka Shizuka, her teacher, that she didn't need to be so nice to her.

Yui Yuigahama is very worried about what will happen if Shizuka Hiratsuka is affected by her situation.

At that time, she won't be able to help much.

It would be better to avoid troubling Hiratsuka Shizuka now, so as not to cause any trouble.

"Let's make this decision!"

After laughing heartily, Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Yuigahama Yui on the shoulder, her tone assertive.

This time, Yui Yuigahama didn't lower her head in fear, but instead raised it slightly to meet Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes.

"...I'm not very pretty, so please don't say that. I believe I will definitely meet a good person."

"Your partner is randomly assigned, you know? Are you sure you can accept a man in his thirties or forties?"

"—?!"

Yui Yuigahama froze, her face contorted with fear.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who hadn't meant to scare her, said with a sigh, "Look, even if I find you someone around the same age, he might not have a good personality. It's better to follow my method and find someone suitable."

To be honest, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to share a husband with her student.

This is shameful!

However, when it came to something that concerned the students' entire future, Shizuka Hiratsuka decided to accept it calmly.

Anyway, both of her students are already her husband's spouses, so one more won't make a difference.

Nowadays, Shizuka Hiratsuka is more concerned with how to market her students.

Ultimately, this involves matters of the heart.

Shizuka Hiratsuka could not possibly allow her husband to accept this.

Now, she plans to keep Yui Yuigahama by her side every day so that her husband can gradually get used to it. If this continues for a long time, they will naturally develop feelings for each other.

Time is the most powerful weapon!

"But I'm still not pretty..."

Yui Yuigahama is very insecure.

Having spent some time in the outer quarters, she was able to see that the other maids were very beautiful.

There are most people she can't compare to.

“It really doesn’t matter,” Hiratsuka Shizuka explained after secretly relieved that Yuigahama Yui didn’t object. “Lord Kyosuke doesn’t care too much about women’s appearance. Otherwise, why do you think those pretty maids are still in their positions?”

Beautiful, but really not worth much in the capital of a country.

Because there are too many beautiful women.

From royalty and nobles to commoners and servants, beautiful women were a common sight.

Almost all male nobles were immune to these women, and were more interested in writing waka poems as a form of romance, and engaging in courtship with other noblewomen.

After all, noblewomen are generally not bad-looking.

In addition, their unique temperament, cultivated from childhood, makes them all incredibly charming.

It's much better than a plain, pretty face.

—In general, dating in this era places more emphasis on spiritual connection, while physical appearance is often overlooked.

Similarly, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that Kousaka Kyosuke felt the same way.

Therefore, the chances of getting Yui Yuigahama as a student are quite high!

"I……"

"Alright, enough with the 'I-I-I'. Let's prepare for this from now on."

"Yes."

In the end, Yui Yuigahama agreed without much hesitation.

Deep down, however, he still lacked self-confidence.

From beginning to end, she believed that she was not good enough for the current head of the family.

It's not just about status and position, but also about ability.

She doesn't know anything.

"Yukinoshita-san is more worthy of Kyosuke-sama."

Yui Yuigahama thought to herself.

Having seen Yukino at school, she recognized her immediately upon arriving at the mansion, but kept it to herself and said nothing.

Even so, Yui Yuigahama still kept a close eye on Yukino.

Every time I see Yukino, I think she's really cool.

It is only natural that someone of noble status would be worthy of such a person.

On the contrary, she... seemed so overconfident.

Yui Hihama is even more afraid of marrying a man whose background she doesn't know.

That's terrible!

However, even with the help of Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yui Yuigahama did not believe that she could absolutely rely on Kousaka Kyosuke.

Her mind was preoccupied with how to persuade Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Kyosuke-sama is too noble for me. I would be so kind as to ask Shizuka-sensei to find me a more reliable man..."

at the same time.

The Sea of ​​Immortality region.

With Kagura's help, Kyosuke Kousaka created a massive fire barrier and then went to the Merfolk King to claim his reward.

However, he was invited to stay as a guest, and in an instant, Kyosuke Kosaka realized that this guy was planning to renege on his debt.

"If I'm not mistaken, the only treasure in the Sea of ​​Immortality that carries souls is the Tears of the Mermaid! Then don't blame me for exposing your true identity..."

Although he was already planning to take action, Kyosuke Kosaka still intended to wait for the right opportunity.

While the banquet was being prepared, Kyosuke Kosaka overheard a servant reporting to Princess Senhime that intruders in a demon ship had arrived.

Kyosuke Kousaka's expression shifted slightly. The sea creatures have arrived too? Could it be Suzuka Gozen...?

257. Suzuka Gozen and Yaobikuni's Arrival / A Series of Lies / The Sacrifice of Princess Senhime

Why is it speculated to be Suzuka Gozen?

On the one hand, the distinctive features of the ghost ship are too obvious.

On the other hand, according to the original work, Suzuka Gozen will indeed come.

But it's a bit of a stretch logically.

In the original story, Suzuka Gozen was dragged into an illusion created by Ungaikyo to see the future and decide to act.

There are two objectives in total.

First, we need to clean up the contaminated cloud lens fragments.

Secondly, we need to find a suitable replacement body for Ōtakemaru.

Judging from the situation, this trip might just be for the second objective.

"Their objectives conflict with mine, but there's no need to worry too much about it. After all, once we get rid of this mermaid king, I'll still have the advantage in terms of distribution."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

Moreover, he was well aware that Suzuka Gozen was a magnanimous and generous person.

Knowing the whole story, she would definitely not compete with him for the resurrection item.

Well now.

Just do what needs to be done.

"Senhime, if it's a giant ship decorated with demon heads, I might recognize the people inside."

Incidentally, the servants did not try to hide anything when they reported the news, and Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura, and Princess Kingyo clearly heard the message.

"That……"

“Let’s go together. Even if they are invaders, we’ll do our part. Anyway, there’s still some time before the banquet starts.”

Seeing that Senhime hesitated, Kousaka Kyosuke took the initiative to speak.

He was already quite confident that Suzuka Gozen was coming, so he decided it was better to actively find out what was going on.

At this point, the plot of "Onmyoji" was again heavily modified and largely destroyed by him.
