Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 673

"He had many, many wives and concubines!"

Minamoto no Hiromasa said curtly.

I went to the Imperial Palace and found out that there seemed to be some ambiguous rumors between Kousaka Kyosuke and Sei Shonagon.

He was almost speechless!

If it weren't for the fact that his younger sister Kagura genuinely liked Kousaka Kyosuke, and that Kousaka Kyosuke was also very kind to Kagura, Minamoto no Hiromasa would have almost taken action against her!

Ultimately, even the most amorous nobleman wouldn't frequently have affairs with women, right?

But it's still okay with my sister...

"It turns out that Mr. Hiromasa was very dissatisfied with Kyosuke."

"No, he's alright. He's hardworking, much better than those officials who take months off every time they encounter a dead rat. He's also strong. I'd love to have a match with him."

Minamoto no Hiromasa gradually shared his impressions of Kousaka Kyosuke.

The more they talked, the more they felt that their younger sister would be better off marrying Kousaka Kyosuke?

This is how the same thing?

Seimei chuckled to himself as he quietly looked at the map of Kyoto's security situation.

Boya is such a frank and honest man.

Standing quietly behind Seimei, Fuyuka's gaze softened, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew it.

Both Minamoto no Hiromasa and Yaobikuni were gentle people, just like Seimei.

It's not good for two people who were originally friends to have a falling out because of a grudge...

Now, our relationship has finally been restored to almost what it used to be.

Great.

The two main characters being discussed are Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura.

The former is using cognitive impairment magic to guide the latter to observe as if no one else is around, and even using special methods to communicate without disturbing anyone.

"These people seem to be getting a bit lazy."

"Because this area is mainly responsible for the area north of the four main roads, and as you know, there isn't much going on in that area."

"What does Komachi's older brother do here?"

"When he's not busy, he handles some official documents; when there's work to be done, he leads patrols on the streets. I'll bring him back once this Orochi incident is over," said Kyosuke Kousaka.

As he spoke, he thought of Hachiman's situation.

I originally thought he would share some of the food with his classmates.

In the end, nothing was found?

They were too considerate of Kyosuke Kousaka's own position, which made Kyosuke Kousaka feel a little embarrassed.

Therefore, he asked Ayanokouji to go to the manor and improve the treatment of Hachiman's classmates.

Simply put, it means the food changes from a porridge of mixed grains to whole grains.

They received treatment similar to that of well-off commoners.

Isn't that pretty good?

Ignoring these unworthy people, Kyosuke Kousaka was still more concerned about Hikigaya.

The 1,000 koku of rice that Hachiman Yamaguchi had provided him with a very comfortable life for a period of time.

Originally, I thought the rice with spiritual power had a low yield, but now it's great, I can eat it at every meal!

That's great!

Even people who eat rice every day have started to think about how good Hikiko is.

Is this considered a different way of winning favor?

In some ways, he's really a "terrifying" person.

Fortunately, it's on my side.

"Did he come here to help you, Kyosuke, connect with your brother Raiping?" Kagura asked curiously.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Pretty much. It's like how the Sword-Slaying Office is located in the Kenbishi Agency. It used to belong to the Outer Guard Office."

"Relationships" are a magical thing.

If you don't actively maintain the relationship, it will lose its effectiveness no matter how strong the connection is.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka never intended to transfer Hikigaya to the Prosecutor's Office.

If it weren't for the Shinomiya family's many questionable actions, and the concern that Hachiman might inexplicably get involved with them, Kousaka Kyosuke would never have sent Hachiman to the Criminal Investigation Department to investigate illegal activities.

Ultimately, the prosecutor and the military police are now working together regularly.

Where is Hachiman and what's the difference?

at the same time.

Instead of going out on patrol as usual, Hikigaya stayed at his residence to entertain any guests who might come.

These past few days have been like this... I haven't gone out at all. Dealing with customers alone is more tiring than fighting a battle!

Ayanokoji is another example, not to mention Shijou Tei's son, who is also the head of the household.

Instead, Horikita Manabu, who was temporarily without an official position, went out to work.

Hachiman is very envious of this.

"I want to work too! My dream of marrying a beautiful and capable girl and having her support me is over!!"

Hachiman had long since abandoned his dream of becoming a stay-at-home dad.

The overwhelming interpersonal relationships left him completely exhausted, yet he was unable to refuse them.

How to refuse?

In this era, personal connections are truly everything.

Helping the head of the household maintain relationships with those who want to become vassals is truly beneficial in every way.

Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for Hachiman to be so busy.

I just feel very tired.

However, he couldn't bring himself to say it. His younger sister, Komachi, often treated him to sweet pastries and fruits, which helped him recover somewhat...

At this moment, we are in the Fishing Hall.

After exercising and resting for a while, Hachiman stared blankly into the distance.

Sitting next to him, Shijou Tei also looked rather dazed.

Both of them looked listless.

It wasn't until Ayanokouji arrived that they looked over and their spirits lifted somewhat.

"...Kiyotaka, you seem to be in good spirits?" Hikigaya couldn't help but ask.

How exactly did they manage to persevere?

Ayanokouji seemed to understand Hikigaya's doubts and replied, "Because it's my job. Besides, relationships and connections are worth building over a lifetime."

Hey~

Hikigaya and Shijou Tei both sighed in unison, their actions and expressions perfectly synchronized.

Ayanokouji, however, was somewhat confused.

"With such great resources and such a great platform, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to actively strengthen relationships with others?"

"Do Hachi and Mikado really hate maintaining these interpersonal relationships?"

Ayanokouji really doesn't understand.

“I understand that you are all standing on Kyosuke’s side and insisting on communicating with people, but in reality, this is an issue that cannot be avoided. Why not deal with it with a positive attitude?”

Attitude is a problem.

Ayanokoji made suggestions to Kikuya and Shijo Tei.

Hachiman nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand all of that, it's just that I suddenly miss my job..."

Shijou Tei chimed in: "I love my job."

Ayanokouji remained silent. You didn't listen to my advice at all, did you?

After some deliberation, he took out a stack of letters from his sleeve.

Hikigaya and Shijou Tei, who had noticed this, were suddenly startled, as if they realized something was wrong.

“It’s a letter from Kyoto Port, you all have them,” Ayanokouji said. “I looked at the letters I received, they’re all love letters, Hachi’s should be too, try to receive some.”

"Uh, I'll take a look..."

Hachiman reluctantly agreed.
