Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Didn't you bring it up first?" Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

When Kousaka Kyosuke realized that Shonagon had made the conversation related to her, he knew she was testing him.

Having a deep understanding of the essence of PUA, he immediately saw that Sei Shonagon wanted to test his attitude.

It seems that the girl is not in a good mood.

"It's good to learn to observe the world as it is," Kyosuke Kousaka remarked.

He still understood what Sei Shonagon was thinking.

When she was young, she would take the opportunity to serve in the imperial court and travel around. When she was of a certain age, she would find someone to marry.

Hmm? Something feels off.

Kyosuke Kosaka vaguely felt that he had been given the label of "honest" by now.

Oh no, this script is all too familiar.

“Hmm…” Sei Shonagon mumbled, her head hanging down.

Kousaka Kyosuke then took the opportunity to pick up a snack and eat it.

On the low table were hot tea and snacks, mostly rice cakes and bean cakes, very ordinary.

So, while eating, Kyosuke Kosaka secretly added a plate of yokan (sweet bean jelly).

In this era, people have lower requirements for the taste of food but higher requirements for its appearance.

A translucent yokan (sweet bean jelly) would be just right.

Unaware of these things, Sei Shonagon suddenly whispered, "...It's also good to stay at home and serve my husband obediently."

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke paused for a moment, unsure if this was a confession, but finally said, "If you think it's good, then I think so too."

"I've memorized that sentence."

Sei Shonagon gently raised her face, smiling slightly, her pale golden eyes brimming with tears, and her lips moving.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded solemnly.

After chatting for a while, Kousaka Kyosuke handed the pre-packaged box to Sei Shonagon.

Sei Shonagon didn't say much about it, took the box, bowed, and left quietly.

Kyosuke Kousaka scratched his face and still emphasized something to Sei Shonagon, who was leaving.

"That was a gift from me."

"I know."

Sei Shonagon tilted her head slightly and brushed aside the white veil under the hat she had just put on, her eyes, flushed with a blush of spring, brimming with the allure of spring.

Kyosuke Kousaka felt as if he had been electrocuted.

Before he could say anything more, Sei Shonagon turned and quickly left.

Da da da……

The footsteps faded into the distance.

Kousaka Kyosuke watched Sei Shonagon leave.

"The path to love between people from different camps is really complicated."

He sighed secretly.

Kousaka Kyosuke quietly pondered how to quickly bring Sei Shonagon home when the time for political purges came.

Sei Shonagon was so exhausted that she wanted to run away.

I guess it's because of the order or family connections that they haven't left.

Now that everything is settled, Kyosuke Kousaka should cut his losses and take the person away quickly.

Otherwise, the pain will only increase.

Day 297 of crossing

All the data for the camera components has been meticulously recorded through everyone's collaboration.

Kyosuke Kosaka naturally handed these matters over to Ieji.

In business, how can he compare to a seasoned professional?

Even if each father-in-law doesn't have expertise in this area, they certainly have relevant experience, so entrusting it to them is definitely the right thing to do!

However, it doesn't mean ignoring everything.

Just like now, Kyosuke Kosaka is chatting with his friend Yasutane in the main hall.

"The quality of the production process varies, so the clarity of the images taken may differ."

"...My elder brother also mentioned this, so he made five top numbers himself."

Bao Yin was a little embarrassed.

He also tried to create the core.

However, the creation process is extremely complex, and the requirements for controlling the output of spiritual energy are also quite high. Even if a core is barely made, the internal structure of the spell will show signs of collapsing at any time...

This is inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Kyosuke Kosaka summoned a bunch of camera components and placed them in front of him. He put a certain core into it and quickly assembled a camera.

Next, he put in paper that was similar in nature to imaging film and took a picture of it.

"look."

"It's a bit blurry..."

"It's not just blurry; it's so bright outside, and it's still like this. What do you think you could capture in a darker setting?"

"Then let's see if you can give it a try, brother?" Bao Yin quickly said.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka quickly attached the core component that Yasunori had created to the camera.

Click~

The clear photos are fresh off the press.

Bao Yin picked up the two photos and compared them, his lips twitching slightly. He could already imagine the anger and fury some people would feel when they received a substandard product.

I bet they'll be so eager to devour him alive by then.

"I also anticipated this situation, so I decided to sell the cores in three tiers, but the lowest tier is at least barely satisfactory."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Bao Yin frowned and immediately shook his head: "That's not appropriate! Buying the lowest grade is just putting on a show. Ordinary nobles would only buy the best!"

"That's not necessarily true; it depends on the situation. Take a look at the specific differences between these two faces."

"Specific differences..."

Following Kousaka Kyosuke's posture, Yasuyuki looked at his own face in the photo and found that apart from being blurry, there was nothing different.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "If you have some blemishes on your face, then this lowest grade is actually better."

If the image quality is poor, you won't see many acne scars or pits, and even skin tone will be obscured.

"Yes! In the future, there will probably be some men and women communicating through paper money. It's not good if it's too clear."

Bao Yin immediately realized the practicality of photos with different resolutions.

For some women who are not naturally beautiful, taking high-resolution photos can actually magnify their flaws.

Moreover, most aristocratic women dislike having their faces seen, but that doesn't mean they don't want to be photographed, so this is a very suitable option.

"No woman would dislike the ability to capture time on a piece of paper."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

After talking with his partners, he gradually learned their thoughts on the appearance of the photos.

For example, many people hope to take photos during their youthful and energetic years to remind others that they were once young.

I'm afraid men would think the same way, right?

“Regardless,” Kousaka Kyosuke added, “we absolutely must establish the minimum standards for the core.”

Bao Yin: "I understand..."

I feel sorry for those people who risked their lives to fight, but it's also true that they weren't skilled enough. Let's start over.

Subsequently, Kyosuke Kosaka accepted the cores that met or exceeded the minimum standard, and returned the rest.

By the way.

He split the profits 50/50 with the Kamo clan.

While the most important core was made by Kamo, Kousaka Kyosuke provided the core manufacturing method, enabling him to produce it himself and thus achieve self-sufficiency.

The problem is just as I thought before—trying to eat alone is too hateful!

If you don't have someone to take the fall for you, you'll make a lot of enemies sooner or later!

The Kamo clan is different.
