Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 925

She was taken aback by Hiratsuka Shizuka's sudden attack.

What does it mean to "develop very well"?

What is this supposed to be?

At the same time, Yukino, who had finally decided to come over and say hello, stopped in her tracks.

She looked at her once highly respected teacher with an indescribable gaze...

A thought flashed through her mind—"What exactly happened to Hiratsuka-sensei this past year?"

The thought flashed through her mind in an instant, but Yukino didn't dwell on it any longer.

She felt that Hiratsuka Shizuka's words were too "malicious" towards her, and she wanted to leave.

Unfortunately, Haruno, who had already noticed Yukino's sneaky approach, suddenly turned around.

"Yukino, what do you think?"

"...It would be more reasonable to make demands after working diligently here for a while."

Yukino whispered, realizing she had been caught by her older sister.

I tried my best not to linger my gaze on Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Is it really okay to be this capricious?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but ask.

She boldly tested the waters.

Knowing that Yang Nai was indeed her student, she tried asking this question.

Of course, another reason is that they know this place seems to give preferential treatment to cute girls, which is why they deliberately emphasized it.

She's not blind.

Apart from the male family members related to his wives and concubines, there were no strange men around, making it easy to deduce that the head of the family was as "philandering" as rumored.

That's why she dared to test the waters a little.

“Oh, you know you’re being willful,” Yang Nai said with a smile, “but upon closer examination, your request is quite reasonable. It’s perfectly logical to be reluctant to part with a maid you’re so attached to, and that’s certainly understandable.”

"Once you've made a request, you can't push your luck any further, to avoid making things awkward for both of you. If that happens, the harmonious atmosphere will be ruined..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked grateful: "I understand! I will never do anything like that again!"

Let Yang Nai, the student, lecture us; it doesn't matter.

All we need is for Yui Yuigahama to come!

She knew that at Yui Yuigahama's age, it was easy for her to be promised to some man, and then get married and have children.

Hiratsuka Shizuka definitely didn't want to agree to this.

It's because the men in this world are all pretty average!

If Yui Yuigahama marries them, her future will probably be hell!

"……elder sister."

As if she understood something, Yukino tugged at Haruno, stopping her from continuing.

Yang Nai had no choice but to stop outputting, secretly complaining, "Do you think I wanted to say these things that even I feel a little embarrassed to hear? Xiao Jingxin is too soft-hearted; I still need to warn her first."

Even though she thought that way, it was still hard to stay cold when she met Hiratsuka Shizuka's bright, large dog-like eyes.

Yang Nai's heart isn't made of steel.

When faced with something that touches her heart, she still hesitates for a moment.

Especially seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's pitiful, perhaps even feigned, demeanor.

My head hurts.

"Can we do it right away? After I leave, this girl might be betrothed to someone else, and I don't know what I'll do then..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared at Haruno and Yukino with tears welling in her eyes.

So, just as expected, the thing that Haruno least wanted to happen happened.

“Basically, it’s not a big problem,” Yang Nai sighed inwardly, trying not to show his emotions on his face, and answered in a calm tone, “It’s just that you might be met with resistance, that’s the consequence, you have to think it through.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly replied, "It's alright! After this, I promise I'll behave properly and be obedient..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Yukino covered her forehead.

Hiratsuka-sensei is still the same Hiratsuka-sensei.

I don’t know what to say.

I certainly admire them.

She understands one principle very well.

"If I were with Hiratsuka-sensei, she would probably come to save me without any reason..."

Yukino easily empathized with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

After all, she was terrified when she first came into the world.

Especially after Fujiwara no Sari gave her to Kousaka Kyosuke, she had been suppressing her trembling as she acted.

Fortunately, Kousaka Kyosuke didn't pay much attention to her, which gradually put her at ease.

be honest.

Even now that she realizes that Kyosuke Kousaka may have been interested in her from the beginning, but was just pretending well... Yukino still has no regrets.

Well, she doesn't really have the right to be picky.

In short, no matter what, she only had one husband in her entire life: Kyosuke Kousaka.

Ignore Yukino, who is covering her forehead and lost in thought.

On the field, Haruno is still in a "standoff" with Hiratsuka Shizuka, who is staring at her with her hands clenched tightly in front of her chest.

Yang was completely convinced.

Seeing how easily Hiratsuka Shizuna's tear ducts became active, she understood that she had no other choice.

“Alright, just this once… I’ll go talk to Madam Su.”

For some reason, I thought that Yukino would receive the same treatment if she stayed by Hiratsuka Shizuka's side. It's hard for Haruno to harden her heart.

Furthermore, Shizuka Hiratsuka promised not to make any more demands in the future.

That was enough for Yang to steel himself and explain the situation to Suyi.

"Please, today! What if something happens tonight!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka clasped her hands together and pleaded.

Yang resisted the urge to sigh, nodded and patted Yukino, signaling her to lead Hiratsuka Shizuka to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

Honestly, Yang couldn't stand it any longer.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's situation, which was neither exactly annoying nor particularly troublesome, made Haruno want to escape.

Mingming has been in a good mood since arriving in Kyoto.

But that's not the case now.

"please--"

As Hiratsuka Shizuka watched Yang walk faster and faster, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes again, and she waved vigorously.

great!

Yui Yuigahama's life was saved!

"..." Yukino, seeing Hiratsuka's serene posture, was at a loss for words.

After a long while, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly looked at Yukino with shining eyes.

Compared to Haruno, who refuses to reveal anything, Yukino will surely "pity" her and tell her more about other things, right?

"Yukino..."

"I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of other locations immediately."

Yukino avoided Hiratsuka Shizuka's burning gaze and hurriedly led the way.

"Cough cough."

Hiratsuka Shizuya finally realized that he looked a little scary, wiping away the tears on his face and trying his best to control his exaggerated expression.

I was still very happy.

She has finally accomplished what is arguably the most important thing in the world.

Let's live a good life from now on.

You must work diligently!

Thinking of this, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt like she was floating as she walked.

It was evening.

The location is a bathhouse.
