Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 750

Kyosuke Kousaka, who never imagined he could have this kind of life besides eating, drinking, and having fun, was extremely grateful to Kaori.

"I don't even know if I was laughing and having fun in Kyoto now, before I got married, or if I was wandering around on another continent..."

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered secretly.

After getting married and having a wife and her family, he did indeed become more restrained and returned to his former timid and submissive nature.

Is it a weakness? Not at all.

Because Kyosuke Kousaka believes that as long as he flips the table, there's nothing that can't be solved.

Yes, if you have the strength, weaknesses don't matter.

Without dwelling on these thoughts, Kyosuke Kosaka was figuring out how to better explain the situation to his uncle, Kaori.

There should be someone else suitable for this uncle.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka believes that his choice is the most suitable.

At most, we'll give that person some benefits.

It was noon.

At the Prosecution Office, Fujiwara Naoki, under the guidance of his superior, began diligently processing various official documents.

In fact, Fujiwara Naoki came from modern times. His surname was Goto, and his real name was Goto Naoki. He had a virtuous wife, two lovely daughters, and a lively dog, and was very happy.

After arriving in this world, although conditions worsened considerably, life was still quite harmonious.

To Goto Naoki's surprise, his pottery stall suddenly raised its prices, and as a result, he couldn't keep up with the turnover, and the stall was snatched up by others, leaving him with no place to sell his goods.

After all, there are regulations in the market where certain goods can be sold. Merchants on the streets and alleys who carry goods on their heads and call out to sell are actually selling small items.

However, his pottery is different; it can only be sold at fixed stalls, and selling it privately is a serious violation of the law.

Therefore, his life has temporarily fallen into a predicament.

Fortunately, a very promising cousin from the clan introduced him to a job in the government office, and he quickly became a "celebrity" in the small clan area.

However, he wasn't too happy.

Because trouble followed one after another—too many people wanted to get married.

Whether it's her two daughters, or... herself.

This is terrible.

Naoki Goto wanted to run away, but the small estate of the Fujiwara clan was a very safe location.

If you're moving with your family, you should find a place that's safer than the ancestral homeland.

"This drawing won't do. Lord Kyosuke won't be satisfied with it. Draw it in more detail!"

"This is the drawing I put my best effort into..."

"You're really stupid. Oh well, there's nothing I can do. The one who drew the picture went to the palace. If you had his skills, you'd be in the palace sooner or later too."

A conversation caught Goto Naoki's attention.

Just as he was about to say that he was very confident in his drawing skills, he heard that the people who had done a good job ahead of him had gone to the palace, and he immediately shut his mouth.

Naoki Goto wanted to stay with his wife and daughter, but he didn't want to go to the palace.

Besides, he suddenly remembered.

In this era, some skills are mastered by specialists, and it would be quite troublesome to learn them yourself.

"Naoki, go get something to eat."

"...Yes, Master Zhixing."

"Let's go."

Fujiwara Tomoyuki, who came to see Goto Naoki, smiled.

Being from the same clan, it was good to be closer. He had received instructions from Kyosuke Kousaka to take care of Naoki Goto.

He didn't investigate further why; such things weren't worth being curious about.

Afterwards, the two simply ate a corn rice ball and drank a cup of hot tea.

During this time, considering that there would definitely be many troubles in the future, Goto Naoki finally mustered up the courage to ask Fujiwara Tomoyuki about the situation of other residential land in Kyoto.

He wants to move, otherwise it will definitely be a lot of trouble.

He will steadfastly protect the smiles of his wife and daughter!

"...Moving, huh? Haha, I understand your predicament. It was my oversight."

"No, it has nothing to do with you, Lord Zhixing."

"No matter what, I'll help you find a suitable place to live," Fujiwara Tomoyuki said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

He understands so well!

Naoki Goto encountered a situation similar to his own when he returned from his retreat from Mount Oe.

At that time, he felt that his wife's life was in danger, and he tried his best to evade and appease her until he moved into Kyosuke Kosaka's old house and was finally at ease.

People of this era are ruthless and terrifying.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki understood this very well.

It's not difficult at all to create a seemingly clever accident for the sake of profit.

Although Goto Naoki didn't think as much as Fujiwara Tomoyuki.

But I instinctively felt that those I knew were becoming increasingly unfamiliar, so I had to be more cautious.

The work ends at 5 PM.

Back at his clan's territory, Goto Naoki greeted the other people who had approached him gently, and spent half an hour exchanging pleasantries before finally returning home.

As soon as I got home, the first thing I heard was the sound of "woof woof".

The Shiba Inu, Pochi, walked over.

"father!"

Accompanying Pochi was a five- or six-year-old pink-haired girl named Goto.

This is Naoki Goto's second daughter.

Another person, like a ghost, was draped in a long, pale yellow coat and hid in a corner, secretly observing.

That was Goto Naoki's eldest daughter, Goto Doku.

Her long, almost knee-length pink hair, with bangs that nearly covered her eyes, looked rather frightening at night.

Naoki Goto was already used to it.

"Naoki, how was work today?" His wife, Michiyo, appeared behind their eldest daughter, her face beaming with smiles.

Naoki Goto smiled and said, "Very good. Lord Chiyo has also decided to help me find other good places to live."

"Oh, Dad, we're moving..."

Goto Oto exclaimed in surprise.

Naoki Goto smiled as before: "Yes, I want to move to a better environment."

Very good!

The eldest daughter, Goto, screamed inwardly, unable to hide the excitement on her face.

These past few days, we've had a lot of guests coming over. She's been hiding in a private closet, afraid of being seen. From the conversation, it seems like a man wants to marry her... How terrifying!

She plans to never leave the country in her life, so how could she possibly get married?

She felt that the people in this world and this era were terrifying, with no sense of distance between them at all; she was terrified.

If only I had a computer, I could just talk to that knowledgeable online friend and the problem would definitely be solved...

Or, as some netizens have suggested, you can vent your frustrations and seek comfort on other forums. As long as you portray yourself as miserable, you're sure to find people who will constantly encourage you.

Ah, if all else fails, just turn to your fans; they'll definitely comfort you...

"Mom's piggy bank, where she saved up money for her wedding, is all gone. I absolutely will not get married!"

Goto thought to himself.

My mind was filled with the thought of making a dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) to my parents in supplication.

"Don't worry, sister, you won't get married," Goto Ou said to Goto Doku as she approached him.

Goto Doku breathed a huge sigh of relief, almost collapsing in shock.

“Yes, don’t worry.” Michiyo said to Goto Doku with a smile.

She was too worried about her eldest daughter.

She wouldn't be willing to let her eldest daughter leave if her future partner wasn't as gentle as her husband.

"Thank you, Mom!" Goto Doku burst into tears and hugged his mother tightly.

So happy!
