Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 660

We must now seriously condemn the violent behavior of the other shore flower, but thankfully this time we are even.

Thinking about how these two monsters had consumed two wishes, Kousaka Kyosuke felt a little regretful.

He still wanted to give it a shot against Yamata no Orochi.

This is a rare opportunity.

God knows when we'll see Orochi in such a bad state again.

Even so, the power of Yamata no Orochi is still far beyond imagination...

"Forget it, wanting Qing Ji is what I truly want. Removing the hidden threat from the other shore flower is also what I truly want."

Kyosuke Kousaka gradually felt relieved.

The original plan was to exchange Qing Ji's wish for a chance to fight Orochi after demanding her, but I inadvertently wondered if Higanbana, who took the initiative to attack, might have some ulterior motives.

When asked, Orochi's attitude was ambiguous, leaving Kyosuke Kousaka with no choice but to waste his last wish.

The red spider lily seemed to have sensed something, which is why its attitude became much more ambiguous.

But Kyosuke Kosaka has no intention of doing anything about it.

He's the man who's going to be the father of the spider lily, no, the brother of the spider lily, so how could he just let it go like this?

He'll hit his sister one day when he's in a bad mood!

As if he could foresee that day coming, Kousaka Kyosuke was in a much better mood. He reached out and grabbed Su Yi's arm to give her a hint before getting up and sitting up.

What came into view was Su Chang's earnest and enthusiastic demeanor; even with her cheeks puffed out, her captivating charm was still undeniable.

"Well--"

Su Chang, somewhat puzzled, looked up and met Kosaka Kyosuke's eyes, her face beaming with a smile.

A smile radiating joy and happiness is based on moist, peach-colored lips and a subtle, shimmering glow of saliva on the cheeks.

It's normal for any man to react to this, and Kyosuke Kosaka thinks it's perfectly normal.

He beckoned over, and Su Chang, who was still busy preparing, came over.

hey!

Su Chang moved extremely quickly and arrived at Kosaka Kyosuke's side in an instant.

Knowing that her sister was prone to jealousy, she deliberately leaned against her sister's other side, perfectly dividing her husband in half.

"I don't know when I'll be busy again. You can come to my house when you have free time, but I won't go to avoid any awkwardness."

"Hehe, are you worried that the clan will send you other women?"

"No, it's just that it's inconvenient to visit each of your homes one by one. If I visit one, I can only visit the second one. If I go around to each one, I won't have much time to waste."

Kyosuke Kosaka's explanation of Su Chang was also an explanation of Su Yi.

It would be better to bring gifts than to visit the wife's family.

Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't work here.

"Lord Kyosuke, you don't need to worry about these things. We are already yours," Su Yi said softly.

Kyosuke Kosaka directly nibbled on Su Yi's petite ear.

"..." Su Yi's eyes flickered as she endured the pain, and a faint blush began to appear on her beautiful face, which had returned to its normal color.

She had no intention of resisting her husband's actions.

Not to mention the current one.

"People in the clan are still people in the clan. It's perfectly reasonable for them to instinctively favor one another. It would be against the established order to ignore everything. Every other family is like that. It's just that your clan happens to have enough people..."

As he spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke leaned closer to Su Chang.

Su Chang tilted her head happily, her fair cheeks glowing with a rosy hue, making her incredibly adorable.

Kyosuke Kousaka almost aimed at the wrong target.

"Hmm~~" Feeling the gentle touch on her ears, Su Chang happily hummed a tune softly.

Kyosuke Kosaka continued:

"To be honest, your clan has many talented people, so it's normal for them to be the first to be recruited. If the Xiangzi family, the Fengshi Qianhua family, and the like are also recruited like your clan, I will certainly support them."

The problem is, there isn't one, there isn't one at all!

It's perfectly normal for Kousaka Kyosuke to allocate all his resources to the Qin family.

Even a monopoly is better than no one using it, right?

Only those within the government offices are trusted; as for things like balancing the interests of wives and relatives, forget about it.

Kyosuke Kosaka was aware that Masataka Fujiwara was probably not very satisfied.

However, the current situation is turbulent, and even powerful officials in government offices may die unexpectedly due to unforeseen disasters, which has led to many vacancies in official positions.

Of course, vacancies can be filled, or they can be set aside and dealt with later.

But how could that be possible for Kyosuke Kousaka?

So, Kyosuke Kosaka asked people if they wanted to do it, and if not, he would put the newly noble Qin family members in charge.

If you really want to do it, go and charge into battle!

In short, one must risk their life to obtain an official position—this is the current situation of the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment.

Even if there are complaints, they can be expressed, and Kyosuke Kosaka will immediately promote him to a higher position, even giving him a vacant junior officer position.

Unfortunately, they all cherished their lives.

Then there's no way.

Dissatisfied but unwilling to take action?

Even if you go to the Taoist priest to complain, he will just ignore you.

Daoist priest's political tactics are even more ruthless than those of Kyosuke Kosaka himself!

Those who are useful will be promoted.

Even things that are useless will be put to good use.

It's really no use; we can't even see the Taoist priest anymore...

Politicians all have this kind of personality.

The top ones are still the male protagonists famous for their palace intrigues in history, who are the best among them.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Despite saying all that, Kousaka Kyosuke was trying to reassure the Qin sisters.

A thousand bushels of mixed grains was still a bit too heavy for the two sisters.

It definitely won't work if I don't try to comfort her.

"Speaking of which, in a few months, ships from the Tang Kingdom will come to Dazi Prefecture to trade. There's a kind of fruit there that's bright red, exquisitely translucent, delicious, and beautifully shaped..."

Before he knew it, Kyosuke Kousaka, drawn by the beauty of the things around him, started talking about other things.

Su Yi, somewhat puzzled, noticed Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze and heard his words. A hint of confusion and embarrassment welled up in her gentle eyes.

Su Chang listened with great interest and even asked, "Is that so?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked intently at the spot where Su Chang had raised her hand to point: "Let me see."

Su Chang straightened her back, welcoming him warmly.

Before long, the group was back together...

Day 274 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who originally wanted to stay at home, had no choice but to go out to the government office to check on the situation.

Since the shrine maiden Orochi was sealed by the Onmyoji using the Takamagahara magic circle at the cost of their lives, the miasma and yin energy within Kyoto have decreased significantly.

At least it will allow people to have a slightly more peaceful New Year.

But those who need to work still have to work.

The Kyoto Prosecutor's Office, responsible for maintaining order in Kyoto, doesn't really have the concept of holidays for most of its staff.

If something goes wrong and isn't handled properly in a timely manner, then you have to take responsibility.

Despite the harsh measures taken during this serious period, Kyosuke Kosaka still provided generous conditions in all aspects.

Just like the public funds that were previously applied for from Fujiwara no Michitsuna have already been received.

At the beginning of the new year, Kyosuke Kosaka sent word that those who continued to work would receive double pay, which would continue until the fifteenth.

As a result, order remained peaceful within the government compound.

They arrived at the inspection office.

Seeing that there was indeed not much resentment around him, Kyosuke Kosaka was basically relieved.

Using a spell to induce cognitive impairment, Kousaka Kyosuke brought Kagura to the workbench and briefly reviewed the mountain of official documents.

"There aren't too many things to deal with, the only thing missing right now is the Shrine Maiden Orochi..."
