Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Yukino held her head in her hands, revealing a rare expression of utter despair.

"……Eh?"

Yukino stared blankly at the source of the sound.

A familiar face, smiling both brightly and maliciously, was reflected in his pitch-black eyes.

"--Give me!"

Yukino reacted quickly and hurriedly went to her older sister Haruno, who had taken a picture of her without permission.

Yang chuckled and stepped back slightly.

"Don't fool around here!"

"……Give me."

Yukino had no choice but to slow down, glaring at Haruno with resentment, and walk towards her.

Yang Nai smiled broadly: "Well, tell me what's bothering you, and I'll give you the thing."

"..." Yukino remained silent, her lips moved, but she suddenly didn't know how to speak.

This must be a very impressive thing for your sister, right?

Hiratsuka Shizuka is also her older sister Haruno's teacher.

"Let's go back first."

"I feel like this is going to be a big surprise to me."

"……About."

Yukino wasn't in the mood to look up the photos anymore.

Because she didn't know how to sort out the current situation.

It's like knowing something should be a good thing, but finding it hard to be happy.

If we accept it, it might really take quite a while.

I've managed to live in this peaceful era for almost a year now.

Even though Yukino was well protected by Kyosuke Kousaka, she was still able to learn about the cruelty of this world through various intelligence reports.

Therefore, it is quite clear that Hiratsuka Shizuka's experience was actually the best...

They returned to their home in the east wing.

My father, Changwu, went to work in the dormitory early on, leaving my mother alone there.

After leading Yukino to her mother's room, Haruno looked at Yukino with expectant eyes.

She thought to herself, "It can't be anything too terrible, but something that Yukino can't accept, and that we might not be able to accept either."

what is it?

Yang really wanted to know.

Because of the siren problem at Suzuka Mountain, she has been trying to stay home these days to avoid causing trouble for Kousaka Kyosuke.

After all, there are traitors in Kyoto. If I go out and get caught, even if I am rescued immediately, I will still lose face.

It would be better to stay in the mansion and manage things, and let others do things for you.

Once everything was over, she was able to move around freely as usual.

"It's news about my former teacher..."

Under the questioning gazes of her mother and sister, Yukino took a deep breath and prepared to explain the whole story.

But Yang Nai reacted very quickly, revealing an extremely strange and indescribable smile.

"Could it be Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka?"

"Yes."

"..."

Yang Nai silently covered her mouth, lowered her head, her body trembled, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.

The mother looked at her eldest daughter, Yukino, and shook her head secretly. She then said to Yukino, "Continue."

"Hiratsuka-sensei has returned here. As for her identity, she is Lord Taira no Korehira's cousin. In terms of bloodline, she belongs to a relatively close collateral branch of the direct line..."

Yukino suppressed her discomfort and slowly explained the situation.

She made no attempt to hide the whole story.

Her husband had mentioned it to her, saying that such political matters didn't need to be kept too secret.

The idea is that she uses her words to let her father know about the political situation in the court.

Yukino didn't hesitate much in this matter.

She knew it quite well.

Politics in this era is different from modern politics; if you take a wrong step, the situation could become very bad.

Therefore, if the father can understand the situation in the court and the household, he will not easily make mistakes.

all in all.

Yukino still hopes that her father will be alright and that nothing will happen to him.

Wait until she has finished speaking.

With her eyes slightly red and a smile still hard to hide, Yang Nai also spoke.

"This is great! Kyosuke-sama doesn't mind, Hiratsuka-sensei's wish has been fulfilled, and it also allows us to connect with Taira no Korehira, who will lay the foundation for the Ise-Taira clan in the future. It's a win-win situation."

"That's true, but... sister, you don't need to be so happy."

Yukino sighed softly, feeling quite helpless.

She thinks too much.

The older sister seemed to have received a new toy, radiating joy from head to toe.

She's probably already thinking about how to tease her when the teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, comes over.

Yukino didn't want to think about these things.

She has a terrible headache.

A particularly strange sense of transgression made her feel uneasy.

"Go get some sleep," Yang Nai said, her smile fading slightly. "After a good night's sleep, you'll gradually feel better. At least it's not something that will make everyone sad, right?"

Upon hearing the advice, Yukino thought for a moment, nodded, and did as she was told.

She wanted to be quiet.

Meanwhile, Yang Nai, who remained in the room, was chatting enthusiastically with her mother.

"Hiratsuka-sensei has always said 'I really want to get married,' and this time her wish has come true!"

"I've met Ms. Hiratsuka a few times. She's a good teacher who is responsible for her students, which is a pity in this era..."

"Sigh, I hope she's a good teacher who's only responsible to Yukino. Anyway, I'll have to keep a close eye on her when she comes over."

Understanding his mother's meaning, Yang Nai readily answered.

The principle within the mansion is to prioritize the interests of her future husband, Kyosuke.

Even if the prospective husband is very open-minded, he shouldn't push his luck too far.

Yang believed that both he and his sister could handle this matter properly.

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka who is about to arrive?

Yang doesn't know much about it.

From an objective point of view, teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka has lived in this world for so long, she must be very well-versed in the rules.

It's inevitable that they understand more than the vast majority of people.

But she couldn't help it because her future husband was very indulgent in this regard.

Therefore, it's possible that Hiratsuka Shizuka might be cautiously probing and trying to save some of her former students.

Ke Yang didn't want her to do that.

These people are such a rip-off!

Since Ayanokoji also lived in this area, Haruno would occasionally have some contact with him, taking the opportunity to chat and learn more about her childhood friend, Hayato Hayama.

Ayanokoji probably had a huge opinion.

What's remarkable is that the process was described in detail.

Then, Yang Naizhen gasped, completely stunned by Hayama Hayato's actions!

And then... that was it.

The last shred of pity I had felt was completely gone.
