Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"I was just asking..."

If you're going to ask, you should ask, "How well did Shiranui dance?"

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered secretly.

After thinking it over, he decided not to bother Yuan Bojia. After all, he was his brother-in-law, and he could still be asked to do things if needed.

Thinking about things absentmindedly.

Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze was not particularly focused on Shiranui on the stage.

With problem-solving experts like Seimei, Fujiwara no Michitsuna, Hououka, and Aoandon, what need is there for him?

Just lie down!

In his eyes, Kyosuke Kosaka honestly saw Shiranui's image clearly—

Her hair was styled in two small buns, with red ribbons tied around her long black twin ponytails. There was a dazzling light around her, as if flames were dancing out from between her hair strands.

Her delicate features were adorned with subtle red tear-like makeup, paired with a gorgeous kimono and a gossamer-thin silk overcoat. The way she stepped forward with her long, slender legs made her appear even more graceful and ethereal...

However, Kyosuke Kosaka could still easily see the coldness and loneliness emanating from Shiranui.

She was like ice and snow, giving people a sense of unapproachability.

It is beautiful, extremely beautiful.

Just looking at its appearance makes it seem a bit boring.

There's a popular internet saying: "A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million."

To Kousaka Kyosuke, Shiranui felt like a lonely, empty, and cold super beautiful girl?

Then?

And that's how it was.

You can't just lick her boots because she's pretty, can you?

Kyosuke Kosaka thought it was better to hold Kagura.

After the performance ended, the group returned to shore, and Kyosuke Kosaka asked, "So? What have you decided to do?"

As soon as I asked the question, there was a moment of silence.

Kyosuke Kousaka was stunned. What was going on?

“I can see that Ali is very lonely, and I also realize that ordinary advice may not be effective…” Seimei pondered.

Phoenix Fire smiled and said, "If guidance works, then that would be amazing."

Qing Xingdeng looked at Kousaka Kyousuke expectantly.

"Perhaps there are other clever ways. How about we all use our imaginations?"

Imagination?

What kind of imagination is this?

Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to complain.

Seeing Aoandon's heroic entrance, he felt somewhat powerless.

After glancing again at Minamoto no Hiromasa, who was frowning in thought, and Yaobikuni and Fujiwara no Michitsuna, who were smiling at him just like Aoandon, Kousaka Kyosuke almost clenched his fist.

Shouldn't we be asking Seimei now?

"..."

Soon, Kyosuke Kosaka noticed that Kagura was also looking over expectantly, so he had to think quickly and make a decision immediately.

"Why not go all in? Just take Ali away, then take her around to see the world and let her enjoy the joy of freedom. Once she's in a good mood, she'll have all the willpower she needs."

The air became quiet again.

Minamoto no Hiromasa looked at him strangely and spoke first: "Take it?"

"Buy it! Buy it! Even if they don't want to sell, just buy it by force! It's an illusion anyway, we have to break free from the shackles of our minds and resolve this quickly!"

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression was resolute, and his words were firm and decisive.

The matter was resolved quickly and decisively! There was no need for any spiritual guidance or explanation. Just do it!

"You're practically a robber now..."

After holding back for a long time, Minamoto no Hiromasa spoke again.

Kousaka Kyosuke spoke with righteousness:

"With only three days, following the rules won't solve much, so let's just use the power in the imperial court to intimidate them!"

There is absolutely no room for negotiation in the way that officials in the capital crush local officials!

As long as it doesn't involve the fundamental interests of the local area, local officials and powerful figures will be the first to back down.

Otherwise, if they are deemed to be insubordinate to local administration, they will be met with the standard greetings from Kyoto's political aristocracy, guards, and Onmyoji (yin-yang masters).

It will be chaos and turmoil.

Therefore, the lord of Xingyuan City is just so-so.

Because of its proximity to the capital city of Kyoto, it was even less able to resist the crushing power of the Kyoto nobles.

"Humans always come up with all sorts of ingenious ideas when it comes to dealing with each other."

Phoenix Fire sighed.

Aoandon, who has thoroughly studied "The Tale of Genji" and "The Pillow Book," somewhat understands Kousaka Kyosuke's actions.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna, a retainer of the Taoist priest, understood the situation even better.

He just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Our primary focus this time is on saving lives; we'll put other formalities aside for now."

Seimei also agreed with Kousaka Kyosuke's point of view.

Yaobikuni made "Ara ara" sounds with great interest.

Kagura's facial expression remained unchanged.

Most of them agreed; there was absolutely no one who disagreed.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka did not procrastinate any longer.

Before Shiranui's stage had even been dismantled, she led a group of people to the so-called "Liren Pavilion" to demand the return of her people.

Li Ren Ge is the only building on the outlying island.

At the same time, there were hardly any people living on the island, giving the impression that the entire island had been taken over.

In reality, the land is only about the size of a park, and once the attic is built, there isn't much space left.

"It's so small, it's like a prison."

Just as the female boss arrived late, Kyosuke Kosaka happened to say something.

It was as if by chance.

The female boss paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.

"grown ups……"

"No need to say more, I'm going to buy Ali. Here's the money. If you feel it's not enough, we can discuss it further."

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his chin in a gesture.

Immediately, Minamoto no Hiromasa placed the large box, which was so big that it would take an ordinary person to lift it, in front of the female boss.

turn on.

Countless exquisite jewelry pieces were presented to the female boss.

The female boss was stunned for a moment.

"This is……"

“If A-Li’s payment for selling herself isn’t enough, I can add more,” Kousaka Kyosuke said.

In the role-playing of Kyoto nobles, there is absolutely no room for politeness or courtesy.

What kind of important person is polite and refined?

In different situations, even important people will reveal their most human side.

It's like how officials in the capital look down on local officials and commoners outside the capital.

It's pure regional discrimination, nothing more to say.

"grown ups……"

"You won't agree?" Kousaka Kyosuke deliberately put on an impatient expression.
