Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 999

Losing one person isn't a big deal, but it might cause some friction.

Ultimately, he would rather promote the position of the so-called father of a concubine than help a wife's uncle... I wonder if this will lead people to make that connection.

Therefore, it's best to avoid it as much as possible.

In short, it wouldn't be difficult to ask Minamoto no Yorihira for a favor.

It's just an exchange of benefits at most.

If one day someone from the Genji clan comes to take up a position in the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment, he will also lend a hand.

It wasn't too troublesome.

I just need to ask Fujiwara no Michitsuna for a hand with the transfer.

Next, let's go to the government office to get things completely sorted out before we set off.

"a……"

"Ok?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked up at Sagiri, who was crawling towards him cautiously like a small animal.

Having just finished showering, she wore a loose undershirt and only a pair of panties. Her silver hair, fading to pink, was tied into a long ponytail and hung neatly down her back...

The more I look at it, the cuter it becomes.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, knew very well that he absolutely could not commit a crime.

"Kyosuke, I want to do what Sess does."

"No, you're too young."

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't even blink, and refused decisively.

Sagiri and Moeha are the same age as middle school students.

Kyosuke Kosaka is a man of principle; how could he possibly make a move on a girl who looks so young no matter what?

"Then give me a massage~"

Dansha Wu raised her fair chin and said smugly—as if she had anticipated the answer and had taken a further step.

Looking at Sagiri's posture, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that it was a bit too "that"?

It looks so familiar.

Qing Ji was like that at the beginning too.

So, is Sagiri drifting too fast?

No, it's more accurate to say they adapted very quickly!

"Could it be that Moe-ye taught him?" Kousaka Kyosuke muttered to himself as he took out essential oil from his spatial storage.

"Kagura too."

"Sagiri doesn't mind?"

"No way~ I was just about to say let's do it together~"

Sagiri said happily to Kagura.

Kagura smiled and said, "Together."

Kyosuke Kousaka scratched his face. This is really fun.

Something just feels off.

Day 355 of crossing

After handling some business at the government office alone, Kousaka Kyosuke went to find Fujiwara no Michitsuna.

It would be more convenient to contact Fujiwara Michitsuna regarding Fujiwara Masakazu's transfer.

"Oh? I was just looking for you, and here you are."

"I don't really want to come..."

Seeing Fujiwara Michitsuna's enthusiastic expression, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately wondered whether he should turn around and say goodbye.

After a quick moment of consideration, he discovered a fact known as "the monk may run away, but the temple cannot."

Alright, let's hear what Fujiwara no Michitsuna has to say.

"what's up?"

"Your reaction is really disheartening."

"This is a genuine and frank expression, what's wrong with that? Just say what you mean."

"Yes, you're quick to speak your mind. I hope you'll come with me to Itsukushima in a while."

"Oh, that famous island. I've heard it's not only beautiful, but also rich in all sorts of resources. It's a treasure trove."

"It's a treasure trove, but unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily bring happiness."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna sighed.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded, knowing what was going on, and simply said, "Alright, come find me then, and I'll tell you why I came..."

He quickly revealed the truth about Fujiwara Masakazu.

laugh!

Fujiwara no Michitsuna laughed.

"People outside the palace are desperate to get in, but people inside the palace want to get out. How interesting."

"A person should have dreams."

"Alright, I understand. In this respect, I've come out on top. You don't need to owe me a favor, because you probably have no idea how many people have wanted to enter the palace over the years. It's rare to find someone willing to give up their position, hehe..."

"Try to tone down your mockery."

Kousaka Kyosuke said speechlessly.

Naturally, he neither agreed nor disagreed with what Fujiwara no Michitsuna said.

At least I know that working in the palace is indeed leisurely, and there are often various subsidies in terms of salary, so the conditions couldn't be better.

Then some people think that this is not a better way to "motivate" oneself?

What else can Kyosuke Kousaka do?

Instead of trying to dissuade him, he chose to help.

There's a saying—"Give up the urge to help others, and respect the fate of others."

"Perhaps Changhe felt that life in the palace was too boring and wanted to experience a different life outside the palace."

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't have many complicated thoughts.

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

As long as you don't regret it.

After bidding farewell to Fujiwara no Michitsuna, Kousaka Kyosuke headed to the Mizubushi Manor to begin preparations for his journey to the Sea of ​​Immortality.

We need to get things ready for Princess Goldfish, and maybe we should also check on Shiranui while we're at it?

I wonder if Shiranui is still hungry, or if she's missing his carefully prepared fish soup? Anyway, let's make it again when we meet~

Oh, right, I need to reassure Kaguya-hime before we leave; she's a girl who's afraid of being alone...

252. Princess Goldfish Remains Stubborn / The Drunkard's Change? / The Dowry Arrives

Arrive at the vicinity of the Shuibusi Manor.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to go to Arakawa to find Princess Goldfish first.

After greeting other aquatic creatures along the way, Kyosuke Kousaka quickly found Princess Goldfish, who was directing the construction work of the other aquatic creatures, with their help.

"Princess Goldfish, Kyosuke is here to see you—"

"Kyosuke's here! Kyosuke's here~ Princess Goldfish~"

Each of the aquatic monsters enthusiastically helped Kousaka Kyosuke greet the Goldfish Princess in advance.

Even with her poor observation skills, Princess Goldfish noticed it.

Her pretty, youthful face instantly flushed as if she had drunk some wine, and her right foot lifted slightly and then lowered again.

When Kousaka Kyosuke saw this, he immediately understood that Princess Goldfish wanted to... stomp her foot.

There's a word that fits the description perfectly.

It's called "shame and anger".

Kyosuke Kosaka believes that Princess Goldfish isn't really that angry; she's just too shy to express herself, which makes her anxious.

"Now it's clear that he's trying to appear mature because he wants to play the role of the acting Lord of Arakawa well, and he's suppressing those childish behaviors from the past."

Knowing what was going on in an instant, Kyosuke Kousaka wanted to laugh, but he didn't really feel like laughing.

To be honest, he still prefers Goldfish Princess to be a little more delicate.
