Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 571

After seeing Kousaka Kyosuke off, Yukino felt a little disappointed, her lips pressed tightly together, clutching the hem of her clothes, her gaze involuntarily fixed on Kaori...

Even the most composed Fujishige couldn't hide the doubt on his face.

She was also very curious about what her ex-husband was like.

In particular, through daily interactions, she gradually learns that Kousaka Kyosuke had no one to serve him for the previous few years, and that Yukino was his first maid.

Her plain-clad, slightly indifferent face was bathed in the warm light of the sky, her expression still gentle, but her eyes held a flickering light.

She had been married to her husband for more than three months, but she still knew relatively little about him.

If she could learn more about her husband's past, she would definitely be able to take better care of him in the future...

"Curious!" ×5

Her long, cherry-pink hair shimmered, and her large, bright blue eyes sparkled with life.

The five sisters were very curious.

Xiangzi also rarely saw these five girls with very different personalities and styles show the same side of themselves.

That's why she didn't wait for anyone else to ask what she was keeping secret and just told them directly.

"It's more like being an observer, calmly watching everything..."

Xiangzi recounted with emotion the story of her first few meetings with Kousaka Kyosuke.

At that time, I vaguely sensed that Kyosuke Kousaka was observing everyone and everything from the perspective of an outsider.

Although not cold, she did give off a feeling that made her difficult to approach.

Fortunately, having had little contact with women, he inevitably shares the same curiosity and desire to explore the opposite sex as most teenage boys.

Finding the barrier quite sturdy, he first tentatively probed it with his hand...

I originally thought it would take some time before I could put it into practice, but I never expected that Fujiwara Yasumasa would arrive.

Similar to the "Romeo and Juliet effect".

Fujiwara Yasumasa's interference seems to have triggered Kousaka Kyosuke's possessiveness.

Then, with Xiangzi taking the initiative, Kousaka Kyosuke became completely unstoppable!

...That period was probably the happiest yet most difficult time in Xiangzi's life.

When her friend Kirisu Mafuyu saw Kousaka Kyosuke, her legs went weak and she almost turned and ran away. Kaori was also a little weak.

Fortunately, with the arrival of Miku, Nino, and Itsuki, the situation gradually improved.

As time went by, the number of people increased.

Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, at that time she was worried that she might get sick from exhaustion.

Sometimes I even think that if I were a few years older, around 30, I would probably be a good match with Kyosuke Kousaka.

As she recounted her experiences and shared her thoughts, Xiangzi became unusually embarrassed afterward.

Fumino noticed this and immediately thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Xiangzi-neechan, for sharing this."

"Yes, yes, you're so kind, Kaori-neechan~" Komachi clapped her hands repeatedly.

Qianhua immediately clapped, and Sushang followed suit.

Soon, applause erupted.

Xiangzi's good mood was instantly ruined, and she almost wanted to glare at Chika.

What's going on? There was no such thing as clapping in the Heian period!

Just as Haruno entered the bedroom to tell Kaori about the situation at the outer residence, she heard faint applause. She was startled at first, then found it amusing.

Although she didn't understand the specifics, she knew that this situation was quite good.

"Kyosuke-sama's taste is indeed excellent~" Haruno thought to herself.

Although she didn't understand whether this was another form of self-praise~

Thinking back to her guess yesterday, she felt a little eager to try it out again.

I don't know when I'll be alone again.

Well!

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was patrolling around with Kagura, suppressed the strange smell in his nose and felt a subtle unease.

Are the people in the bedchamber still talking about him?

Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that my nose has been so itchy?

They all deserve to be taught a lesson. Believe me or not, he'll throw a party tonight.

No, that's more like a reward.

"Kyosuke, there is less yin energy flowing into Kyoto from outside today."

"That's true, I didn't even realize it until you said so."

Upon hearing Kagura's sudden reminder, Kousaka Kyosuke looked surprised, though he was actually fully aware of the situation.

Since Kagura's soul became whole, she has become more energetic and works harder.

It's obvious she wants to stay close to him.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't care about such things.

The spell of cognitive impairment can avoid controversy, and combined with the power of the Genji clan itself and the prestige of the former prince, that's enough.

He has learned more about it in detail these past few days.

She realized that Kagura's father, Katsumi, had voluntarily withdrawn from the succession, and therefore was highly respected by Emperor Ichijo and the Fujiwara Kita family.

Given that Kagura's affair involves the biggest scandal in all of Kyoto, it's estimated that no one will make a fuss about it.

Even if some are tactless, they will soon become tactful after being reminded by the sect leader.

"Then we should focus our inspection on the areas in the suburbs."

"Good~"

Kagura was secretly pleased to see that Kousaka Kyosuke had agreed, and her voice became clearer than usual.

Kyosuke Kousaka's heart began to race.

For some reason, he has been particularly fond of listening to childlike, lively, and delicate voices these past few days, and he never gets tired of them.

Isn't this a bit bad...?

He encountered another girl on the street who had the same temperament as Kagura, and gave her a vegetable bun.

Yes, the vegetable buns are twice as big as yesterday's.

the other side.

Hikigaya, who had just brought Horikita Manabu to the company, had a rather complicated feeling.

"If there are no problems, I'll take you on patrol?"

"Yes, Lord Hachi."

“Hmm…” Hachiman replied casually.

Then they met up with Ayanokoji, who was leading a squad of fire soldiers, and together they searched the four main streets of Kyoto.

Horikita Manabu, who had just joined the company, walked at the back, feeling quite strange.

Yesterday, he heard the patriarch say that he had good aptitude for both martial arts and magic, implying that the patriarch would mentor him.

This flattered him, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

After all, it's still somewhat unbelievable that someone with good talent can be given important responsibilities.

Unless Horikita Manabu himself is clearly aware that his own worth is sufficient to accept these benefits.

Otherwise, no matter how calm you are, you will still feel uneasy.

This was indeed an era that placed great emphasis on collective punishment.

If you suffer, your whole family will suffer.

Ayanokoji, walking ahead, was also pondering Horikita Manabu's talent.

"His talent for learning must be very strong... at least much stronger than mine."

Ayanokouji still remembered that yesterday, Kousaka Kyosuke had spoken to him in a very unusually comforting tone.

The original quote was: "Even if you don't achieve much with your efforts, you still have a reason to try. Even if others are born at the finish line... Anyway, give it your all."

The words were somewhat vague, but Ayanokouji basically understood.

"I could very well be surpassed by my classmates in a short period of time... which is really not a good thing."

Having reached this conclusion, Ayanokouji felt a sense of urgency.

He had no jealousy or envy of those who were talented or capable.

Because Horikita is skilled, he can indeed help the head of the family, and he can also help him.
