Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Learned it."

Kyousuke Kosaka answered.

In the past, there was a trend of miniaturization, where houses, tools, and daily necessities were all made to look like small toys.

Some companies have even produced bags made from small grains of sea salt and sold them for tens of thousands of yuan.

So, out of boredom, Kyosuke Kousaka also learned to make them. Even if he didn't sell them, at least he felt quite accomplished.

I never imagined I'd need it today.

"Thank you, Mr. Kyosuke..."

Princess Kaguya looked at Kyosuke Kousaka with gratitude, her small face filled with soft, sweet eyes that seemed to melt hearts.

Hearing that soft, gentle voice and meeting that tender gaze, Kyosuke Kousaka felt himself melting.

I could only smile and didn't say anything more.

Princess Kaguya is a good child.

Treating her as the group's darling is definitely the right thing to do.

After lingering for a while longer, Kousaka Kyosuke left with Kagura.

Princess Goldfish remained in the bamboo forest to keep Princess Kaguya company.

Since I live in Arakawa, which isn't far away, I can get back quickly and stay as long as I want.

Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura had other matters to attend to.

At least, Kyosuke Kousaka was quite worried about Tsukuyomi's mental state.

Just ignore that silly god, Enmusubi. Who knows, he might turn the shrine into a general store one day.

On their walk, Kyosuke Kosaka chatted with Kagura.

"What? You're envious of those small houses too?"

"I want one."

"Sure, just tell me what format you need when you get home."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

Kagura whispered "thank you" and nibbled on Kousaka Kyosuke's ear.

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled softly, wondering who Kagura had learned it from.

Could it be Komachi? Didn't she say yesterday that she wanted to become a bad woman who manipulates men?

This is not okay.

He needs to give him a lecture.

Kagura felt a warm glow and great joy as she was carried on Kyosuke Kousaka's back.

Seeing that Princess Kaguya was being well taken care of by Kyosuke Kousaka, she also wished to become a tiny person.

But this kind of thing is too much trouble for people.

It's still best to help Kyosuke Kousaka.

"My Yin-Yang techniques are becoming more and more proficient, and my spells for summoning the dead are much more powerful than before. This will definitely be of great help to Kyosuke."

Even though she knew that Kyosuke Kousaka didn't need these things, Kagura still wanted to try her best.

Arrive at the Tsuki-no-Shrine.

As always, Kyosuke Kosaka tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible to avoid embarrassing others.

Seeing that the Moon Goddess seemed to be alright, he simply waved and said hello before heading straight to Kasumigaoka.

"How are you?"

"Reporting to Lord Kyosuke, the body has not yet become moldy."

"Shall we go for a walk?"

"Yes, Kyousuke-sama!"

Kasumigaoka bowed respectfully, in a very proper and proper manner.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but ask, "You're not going to pretend to be dead and lie here one day, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka showed an interested expression. She remembered hearing her classmates in the modern world talk about a well-received movie where the wife pretended to be dead.

It contains mysterious elements such as aliens, pharaohs, and Ultraman.

I used to think about going to see it, but why don't I just give it a try now?

Kousaka Kyosuke, who immediately noticed Kasumigaoka's eager expression, was utterly speechless.

He felt it.

So free?

Well, the fact that this thought even came to mind means that the person is alright, which is good.

"Lord Kyosuke, may I be so bold as to inquire about the Shonagon's situation?"

"I'm living well, but I still get bothered by Ze Guang from time to time, and I'm also worried about Lord Dingzi's situation. Apart from these, there's nothing else to worry about."

"You know so well..."

"We often correspond."

"Your charm..."

That's a misunderstanding.

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered.

Sei Shonagon started sending letters at the beginning of the new year, and Kyoko, sensing something was wrong, showed him the letter.

Kyosuke Kosaka vaguely recounted some events, and ultimately, the events of that day were quite dramatic.

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself, if Sei Shonagon hadn't forgotten him when she left the palace, then he should take her to his residence to raise her.

Ultimately, it is still very difficult for women to survive in this era.

Once Sei Shonagon leaves the palace, it signifies that Ichiju's loss of power is a foregone conclusion, and even the Emperor himself probably cannot decide Sei Shonagon's fate.

In short, the point is that this force should completely withdraw from the stage.

Sei Shonagon's family would certainly be implicated to some extent.

This is called—political purge.

Escape? There's definitely no way to escape; there's a high probability that he'll be demoted and exiled to another state with its own administrative system.

Even worse, some officials were stripped of their official positions for other reasons, and no further action was taken.

This may seem like letting them go, but it's actually more like killing them by destroying their spirit.

In Kyoto, one must have a source of income to live well.

Nobles had no source of income, and their social status prevented them from doing many things considered "despicable," so they could only wait to die...

Of course, it's not impossible to seek help from others, but that's only a temporary solution.

One day they will still die in poverty.

Many people who were not dismissed from their posts simply disappeared quietly like this.

Therefore, Sei Shonagon could not possibly return to her brother's or father's home to live, because they were truly struggling to survive.

Kyosuke Kosaka is unlikely to be able to provide much support.

Ultimately, it's a political game.

If you lose, you get beaten.

It's that simple.

"It is good that Shonagon is with you; she must be very happy."

Kasumigaoka suddenly laughed again and offered her blessings.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled, unsure of what to say. He couldn't very well spout off.

"Huh? I hear the sound of love... Oh, it's you."

The smile that greeted the God of Fate had faded considerably.

Similar to the difference between "before borrowing money" and "after borrowing money".

The already completed shrine to Enmusubi clearly exudes an astonishing confidence, as if it were fearless.

"I would also like to support a bushel of millet."

"Lord Kyosuke, please come in! And this young lady, do you wish to rekindle our romance? No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

The smile of the Goddess of Fate swelled to an astonishing degree, and she slid behind Kousaka Kyosuke at lightning speed to give him a neat shoulder and back massage, and even greeted Kasumigaoka warmly.

"Fate..."

Astonished by the integrity of the Goddess of Union, Kasumigaoka became curious about other things.
