Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Just like idols in the modern world.

However, the outcome of the failure may not be as simple as they wish.

"Is he planning to steadily profit through a woman with little background and little connection to him?"

A cold glint flashed deep in Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes.

Since we've encountered this situation and happen to be able to address it, there's no reason to let it go.

Ultimately, as a mature adult, one should know to consider the pros and cons before taking any action.

"...Can I not tell you?"

“I already know, so there’s no need to hide anything. Besides, isn’t our meeting like a destiny? Perhaps it was ordained by heaven that you would be the one to reveal this secret.”

"...Aren't you doing this for yourself? As long as the report goes smoothly, it will be a great achievement."

Kasumigaoka is a do-or-die type, and speaks very bluntly.

She had her reasons for not wanting to say it aloud.

Because there are good people among her acquaintances... if she reports them, everything will be over!

"Is it not a given that they should do this?" Kyosuke Kosaka tilted his head. "But this time, I simply think their behavior of treating people like monkeys is despicable."

bad.

Absolutely disgusting!

Kyosuke Kosaka would never allow such trash to be ranked alongside him!

He knew that the Taoist priest had many followers.

But he still wanted to pick out some of the worst things to avoid disgusting himself later.

"...That's just your side of the story." Kasumigaoka tried hard to insist.

She didn't want some of her close companions to get hurt.

Her death was not intended to harm more people.

"You don't need to know what I'm thinking. If you don't tell me, it will only make me investigate, or even the Taoist priest will send people to investigate, and the situation will only get worse then."

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly recounted the facts.

He could choose to conceal it, or he could choose not to conceal it.

however.

After realizing that this was absolutely a force from the modern era so brutally tormenting the weak, who also came from the modern era.

It's hard for Kyosuke Kousaka not to feel a sense of empathy.

Yes, most of my partners are from modern times.

If it were them or Kasumigaoka, the outcome wouldn't be so good.

“Sigh, I can’t hide it from you at all…” Kasumigaoka sighed.

This cunning man.

That's really a liar.

But after careful consideration, she realized that what Kousaka Kyosuke said made sense, so she had no choice but to accept her fate.

Thus, Kyosuke Kousaka learned the more detailed story.

My heart grew increasingly cold.

"It's rare to see this... Can't these people just be a little more peaceful?"

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly pondered how to make sure the person could never recover.

There's a saying that goes something like this: harming others will ultimately harm yourself.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought that statement was quite correct.

Day 262 of crossing

After the morning court session, Kousaka Kyosuke simply told the Taoist priest about the matter.

"It's a pleasant surprise. I had some suspicions, but now that you've discovered them, it seems we can no longer tolerate it."

The Taoist priest smiled knowingly.

Kousaka Kyosuke quickly bowed and said, "Master Dao is wise."

Whether or not we've discovered it, it absolutely is now!

Kyosuke Kosaka understood the psychology of those in positions of power very well.

That means, "You can't treat me like a monkey!"

Undoubtedly, promoting Fuji Shonagon's faction is a huge mistake.

If nothing is exposed, everything is fine.

It's been exposed; the Taoist priest has plenty of ways to torture people to death!

Former Kanpaku Michikane and former Kanpaku Michitaka could easily fabricate charges against other rival court nobles.

If the leader of a power is not a high-ranking official, then there is even less need for the Taoist priest to take action.

"From this point of view, I still don't see where the wisdom lies."

The Taoist priest raised his hand, looking uninterested.

Seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka bowed again and silently took his leave.

The monk didn't even ask a single question about the so-called Fuji Shonagon.

Returning to Kasumigaoka with Kyosuke Kousaka was disheartening.

Being completely ignored is a very upsetting thing.

This is a fundamental denial of her as a whole.

Then, realizing that she was indeed a despicable plagiarist, Kasumigaoka could only accept this alternative humiliation.

To be honest, she didn't know what to say to the Taoist priest.

Big shots don't need apologies at all!

Kasumigaoka saw it clearly; the Taoist priest wasn't even that angry.

"Master Dao usually only cares about the result; he has no interest in a puppet like you who is being manipulated."

"...This is the second time."

"Hmm?" Kyosuke Kousaka looked at Kasumigaoka with a puzzled expression.

Kasumigaoka sighed:

"This is the second time you've whipped me like this. Do you enjoy weaving words into whips to torment women? If so, please use more force."

Kyosuke Kosaka looked puzzled. Was this a sadist or a masochist?

Is it because they died that they just gave up and abandoned the business?

"I'm trying to comfort you, although the level of comfort is rather unsatisfactory."

"I'm sorry, Kyosuke-sama, I don't see any comfort in your words. I really want to erase everything you said to me before, completely and utterly."

"Oh."

Mikazuki Hill was in pretty good spirits overall, so Kyosuke Kousaka didn't bother with it much.

He took out some wine from his magical space and prepared to visit Governor You, whom he had only recently met, at the Central Guard Prefecture.

Since we're staying here temporarily, let's take this opportunity to maintain good relations.

"May I ask what your next step is?"

"Hold banquets and play with women."

"..." Kasumigaoka remained silent.

He then turned around and lay down on the luxurious couch, his body disappearing completely.

"--what!"

"..."

This time, it was Kyosuke Kousaka's turn to remain silent.

Seeing the entire process of Kasumigaoka being swallowed up, he still raised his hand and lifted Kasumigaoka from the comfort of the tatami mat.

Kasumigaoka, still in a fallen position, was in a very awkward situation.

Kyosuke Kosaka explained, "Your soul isn't very solid. If you relax your body further, it will become completely illusory."

"...This is quite interesting."

"as long as you are happy."

Seeing that Kasumigaoka was stubborn and wouldn't admit it, Kyosuke Kousaka smiled.

After saying that, Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his head again and continued tidying up some things in the magic space.
