Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 856

Kyosuke Kosaka quickly reassured them, "It's nothing, it's just some private play. Speaking of which, let them play some music for others to hear. Music can soothe people's moods, it's a good thing."

"..."

Su Yi remained silent, her body beginning to weaken again despite being constantly comforted by Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kagura looked enviously at Su Yi's well-developed body.

Having frequent contact with romantic relationships, she felt she needed to be at least a little older to be considered romantically involved.

Su Chang was also very envious.

"My sister is always comforted like that by Lord Kyosuke, I wish I could do that too."

Kyosuke Kosaka was already thinking about Su-i getting pregnant in the future, even though it would be a long, long time from now, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Thinking like that is probably a little bit perverted.

But what's wrong with men being perverted?

Even if it's wrong, it's the world's fault.

"Alright... Lord Kyosuke." Su Yi sighed.

Continuing like this won't work; she wanted to wait and see how things were going outside.

Even though I understand that Kyosuke Kosaka's suggestion to conserve his energy makes a lot of sense, I can't help but worry.

Perhaps she is just a timid person.

"Later on, I'll play bass for you too."

“It seems like playing bass solos is quite difficult,” Su Chang reminded her.

Kyosuke Kousaka rolled his eyes: "This is the time you should be encouraging me."

"Keep it up, Kyosuke-sama!"

Su Chang quickly and decisively changed her sentence.

Kyosuke Kosaka liked how this lively girl was so sensible.

A quarter of an hour later.

Kyosuke Kosaka bid farewell to Su-i and then took Kagura and Su-sho to find Kikuri Hiroi.

Even if it's against etiquette and rules, can't we just keep it from others?

However, the others were still frightened.

"...Kyosuke-sama?!"

Hoshika, Nijika, Yuyo, and Yamada Ryo all bowed respectfully and hastily.

Hiroi Kikuri, who was a step behind, quickly followed suit.

Seeing this, Kyosuke Kousaka sighed inwardly, "This is why those in positions of power often feel the loneliness of being at the top."

Living in this ancient feudal era, the hierarchical system was still deeply entrenched.

Those time travelers who are still alive today would not overlook this point. Of course, there are lucky ones, but they are a minority.

Most of what Kousaka Kyosuke saw at that time was what he witnessed.

"No need for formalities, let me see what's going on with Beth?"

Kyosuke Kousaka got straight to the point.

In just a few seconds, I got the bass that Yamada Ryo was using.

Su Chang suddenly moved closer, staring at him with wide, curious eyes. Kagura was also curious.

"Please sit down, there's no one here. I'm not really into those formalities."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was checking his bass guitar, muttered something to himself.

If you are male, then you should be careful with your words and actions.

If it is a woman, then naturally there is a reason to be treated kindly.

He doesn't quite agree with the claim that Kyosuke Kosaka is a "double standard".

His main concern was that he felt the current era was harsh enough on women, and there was no need to continue to treat them harshly.

Just like Akiko, who is destined to become empress.

In the eyes of the Taoist priest, this woman was merely a bargaining chip and a tool.

No matter how enviable the outward appearance of nobility and luxury may be, it cannot conceal the tragic fate of women.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Kyosuke Kosaka knew that female time travelers who came to this era were in a worse situation than male time travelers, which is why he felt sympathy for them.

Of course, it's just sympathy.

When I first met Yukino, Nino, Miku, and Itsuki, I also had this kind of feeling towards them.

Once you get to know them, it's all about love, and you think about how to fill those feelings with love every day... *cough*

The more he thought about it, the more off-topic it became, but Kyosuke Kosaka tried his best to remain natural.

Hiroi Kikuri, Hoshika, Yamada Ryo, and the others carefully sat down at Su Chang's prompting.

"The quality wasn't quite right before, I'll try to improve it... Which tone do you want?"

When Kyosuke Kosaka saw that the string was broken and the wood was making a subtle, indescribable sound due to the excessive moisture in the area, he immediately realized that there were many things he needed to improve.

"Is it okay?" Yamada Ryo's light yellow eyes were bright, like ripples spreading across a misty lake.

Kyosuke Kousaka felt very familiar.

It's as if countless invisible vines are silently wrapping around you.

Who did you copy?

"First Eru, then Susou, Kagura..."

Kyosuke Kosaka found it amusing and quite interesting.

"Don't be shy. I'll also check the other instruments later and make some more strings for you."

"It just occurred to me that strings are consumables; if you use them often, how can you not replace them?"

Hiroi Kikuri said gratefully, "Kyosuke-sama, you're such a kind person!"

"Hold on, I don't really like that statement. A nobleman would never be a good person, because he wouldn't survive in the world."

Kyosuke Kosaka quietly interrupted Kikuri Hiroi's speech.

nice guy?

In this era, good people can't survive.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all high school students, Kousaka Kyosuke would have wanted to be more realistic.

"Haha... But in my eyes, you truly are. I will worship you day and night as a god."

"I think you'd better keep quiet. There are still gods in Kyoto. Your blasphemous words are quite disrespectful."

"--Well!"

Hiroi Kikuri immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Kousaka Kyosuke was silent.

No wonder this person is able to survive in this world; after all, she knows how to survive.

"As for deities, I've only met Tsuki and Enmusubi-sama. I wonder how they are doing?"

"Given their geographical location, their situation should be alright..."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was rebuilding the bass, casually said to Su Chang.

He had considered the possibility of invasion from the sea kingdom from the beginning, and therefore chose a prominent location for the shrine that was not easily attacked.

Because the sea kingdom had to sneak in when it came to the inland.

Therefore, it's best not to attack places that are too obvious, lest it attract the attention of Kyoto.

"Just like in the original story, the Sea Kingdom used the attack on the estuary of Arakawa to draw fire, while the other elite troops were divided into two groups, one to the north and one to the south, to take a detour and try to encircle Kyoto from the rear."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought.

He, being very familiar with the process, also offered his opinions on this matter.

After all, he had traveled all over Kyoto, Shichikakuyama, Kuroyayama, and the area around Oeyama, and naturally had drawn very detailed maps.

Accurate maps were of paramount importance in wars during this era.

Kyosuke Kosaka believed that Minamoto no Yorimitsu, a hawkish Onmyoji, and Seimei, who could conquer various yokai with his personal charm, could handle the invaders from the Sea Kingdom well.

He just needs to be a tool whenever he needs to be.

While Kyosuke Kosaka was repairing the instruments, a variety of subtle emotions flashed through the minds of the others.

Xingge says, "He says he's not a good person, but among the nobles, he's a breath of fresh air..."
