Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 655

He was well aware of one principle: the environment is an extension of the manager's will.

Since Kyosuke Kosaka is able to manage his household so well, there isn't actually much negative news about him outside.

This is truly remarkable!

Therefore, it's normal to have some minor flaws... no, they shouldn't even be considered flaws.

Shijou Tei thought of many people he knew who had multiple wives and concubines, and were simply the type to indulge in debauchery.

Compared to Kyosuke Kousaka, it becomes clear that Kyosuke Kousaka merely married someone.

Very reasonable.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Shijo Taichi had sometimes heard his mother talk about the concubines of Kousaka Kyōne, who had served as Kousaka Kyōne's maids.

They were all in high spirits and very lively.

Therefore, there was indeed no problem with the elder sister, Zhenfei, marrying into the family.

As for more complicated matters?

Shijo Tei believed that he shouldn't bother with it.

After leaving the Vermilion Bird Gate, we walked for a while longer.

Kousaka Kyosuke then parted ways with Shijo Tei, who, despite his doubts, went straight back.

It was embarrassing to encounter many patrolling colleagues on the way.

However, Shijou Tei knew that he still had many things to deal with when he returned to his residence, so he tried his best to maintain a natural state.

Although he didn't want to talk about his family background, he couldn't deny that it gave him many advantages.

On New Year's Day, for example, most of the people in the government compound are working.

But he was able to stay at his residence.

This is extremely unfair no matter how you look at it.

"Lord Mikado." As soon as you enter through the small gate, the servants greet you respectfully and warmly.

Shijou Tei gave a soft "hmm" and walked inside.

We cannot treat these people with too much leniency.

Otherwise, something unpleasant might happen one day.

Head to the northeast room.

Shijo Tei prepares to meet up with Ayanokoji and Hikigaya, who live over there.

However, on the way, they encountered a beautiful woman who seemed to be waiting for them—Yin Nai.

"Lord Mikado, Lord Kyosuke requests your presence at the outer corridor of the east wing."

"Okay, please pass on the message."

Shijou Tei nodded to Yuuno, said a few polite words, and headed towards the east wing area.

Yang Nai glanced at the hurried figure and sighed inwardly.

They all come from modern times, but they are always very mindful of the rules.

"Father will be back later..."

Yang whispered as he walked towards the outer residential area.

She felt that she would be busier than she imagined in the future.

It was too early for anyone to disturb them, so Makoto was sitting in the dormitory waiting for guests to arrive.

Where is the head of the family?

Yang Nai's expression was somewhat strange and funny.

She was the first person to meet Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka's original words at the time were, "Just say I didn't come back today."

Yang was stunned for a while before realizing that Kousaka Kyosuke didn't want to go to the social event, and then she almost laughed.

Looking back now, I realize that Kyosuke Kousaka's hobbies were quite something.

Upon closer examination, there really isn't much to argue about.

In an era lacking entertainment, it seems there was little beyond bedroom matters and banquets.

And what about Kousaka Kyosuke, whom Haruno misses?

He was pretending not to know anything, listening carefully to the narration of Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, and Horikita Manabu.

When Shijou Tei came over and explained again, his expression remained indifferent.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want to reveal his identity as a time traveler and make things even more complicated.

"It's still too complicated. This time, you few will go to the General of the Central Guard's residence to explain. Answer whatever they ask. If it's difficult, you don't have to say anything, but don't lie. Do you understand?"

Fujiwara no Michitsuna had previously mentioned providing information about the Yamata no Orochi.

This time, all he can do is talk; how he opens his mouth is none of his business.

To be honest, even if the fact that you're a time traveler is exposed, no one will care.

"Yes."×4

The four trusted confidants spoke in unison.

Kyosuke Kousaka glanced at Hikigaya among the four with a somewhat subtle expression.

“Ah Ba, you can learn more about the affairs of the court when you have time. The thousand shi you asked for is equivalent to two months of my salary. It’s far too easy for an evil god, but it’s quite good to be able to trample on his style in this way.”

"Uh……"

Hikigaya hesitated, seemingly unable to find the words.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply waved his hand, indicating that he and the others could leave.

Kyosuke Kosaka had just learned of Hikigaya's wish.

They actually asked for a thousand shi of grain?!

Then he even had Orochi placed at his own Shuibushi manor.

This is going to bring the arrogance of this country's highest-ranking evil god down to the mortal realm!

Orochi was probably a bit bewildered at the time.

Perhaps he isn't necessarily confused?

Ultimately, in this era, food is wealth, a property more valuable than gold.

If it weren't for the fact that shelf life is ultimately limited, even gold would have to take a backseat.

Would it be better to have at least 10,000?

In short, having made his arrangements, Kousaka Kyosuke returned to his bedchamber.

The couples in the bedroom learned of Kyosuke Kousaka's return after being informed by Haruno, and the younger ones waited at the entrance.

The moment they stepped into the area, the sprinter Su Chang pounced on them.

A pair of bright, sparkling brown eyes were already just a few steps away from Kyosuke Kosaka.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

Beneath her bangs, her face was delicate and charming, and her simple dress still exuded vitality.

"Hmm, Su Chang." Kousaka Kyosuke softly called the name of the beauty before him, smiling slightly without making a move, but giving her a knowing look with his eyes.

Su Chang blinked her right eye to indicate that she understood, and her delicate body swayed happily.

Being the first to arrive definitely has its advantages!

"Kyosuke-sama." Within seconds, Kagura, Komachi, Moeha, and the others also called out to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and stepped forward to greet them.

"It's cold, let's go inside and talk."

At the beginning of the New Year, the people in the sleeping quarters were very orderly.

Oh, no, that's not right either. The Moon God is still busy with the believers' problems.

In the freezing cold, the believers not only lacked shelter from the wind and snow, but also went hungry.

Even now, he can only manage to cope by drinking some mixed grain porridge.

Putting all that aside, Kyosuke Kousaka, who had been on duty around the Imperial Palace for two days, still missed everyone very much.

Given the large number of people, he could only patiently get down to business and build up the atmosphere.

There's not much to say about what happens in the palace.
