Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Kyosuke Kosaka then left with his men.

Meanwhile, some onlookers in the distance were chatting quietly.

Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke leave, they all ran away as if fleeing for their lives, as if they were afraid of encountering some danger.

"...Kyosuke!"

Takashiro Nobuyoshi glared at Kousaka Kyosuke through gritted teeth.

He never expected that Kyosuke Kosaka would be so arrogant and conceited.

Even the matter of killing a minor demon is something he'll nitpick over!

Such a huge insult is truly hateful!

This must be reported!

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was hated by Nobuyoshi Takashiro, completely ignored his meaning.

How to say?

It would be considered a great success if a written petition could be delivered to Yi Zhou.

Will it really be passed on to the Emperor?

Kyosuke Kousaka was about to burst out laughing.

Is this because they think Yi Zhou isn't annoying enough?

It would be more realistic to let Yi Zhou speak on your behalf.

It would be even better to conceal one's own presence as well.

It seems that Gao Jiexinyi still hasn't realized just how terrifying the influence of public opinion can be.

Even the Taoist priest sent someone to protect his beloved nephew Jianlong closely, fearing that something might happen to him on the road and affect his reputation.

As for someone like Shinji Takagi... let's not even talk about him.

To be honest, he looks quite similar to his cousin, Yi Zhou.

Surprisingly, they didn't care much about public opinion at all.

At least maintain a semblance of appearance, right?

Throughout the entire ordeal, Kyosuke Kosaka didn't really take such a trivial matter to heart.

It was around noon.

Bored, Kousaka Kyosuke pondered whether to go to the shrine or the Water Department.

In the end, a shrine was chosen!

I stepped inside, less than fifteen minutes later.

"Go away! Go away! Go away! There's nothing there—"

Kousaka Kyosuke was pushed out by Chai Yueshen.

The face of the Moon Goddess who shoved Kousaka Kyosuke flushed crimson.

Her large, bright, and intelligent eyes were moist and dreamy, as if shrouded in spring mist... as if she were about to cry but wasn't.

Kyosuke Kosaka pursed his lips, savoring the unique, mellow flavor.

They didn't care at all about the increasing thrust that followed.

Living like this doesn't seem so bad.

Day 237 of crossing

A light drizzle began to fall from the horizon.

The bleak, cold wind made the weather even colder.

Kyosuke Kosaka decides to go to the Water Department with Su Yi and Su Chang and the others.

He wants to cultivate the land!

So on that very day, Kyosuke Kosaka went to the Water Department to begin land reclamation.

Surprisingly, he ran into an acquaintance.

"Oh, Makoto's here too?"

"Kyosuke-sama!"

Makoto Shijou, who was leading a group to observe the surrounding situation and also wanted to greet Mizubeji, was slightly surprised.

Then came an indescribable ecstasy!

Perhaps we should try to fight for it for our daughter...

129. A black sheep / Fumino / The so-called quintet / Stance / Want them all?

The arrival of Makoto, a member of the Genji clan, surprised Kyosuke Kousaka.

Nevertheless, Kyosuke Kousaka still greeted Makoto and the people he brought very warmly.

They arrived at the office of the Water Department.

Kousaka Kyosuke, seated at the head of the table, politely conversed with Makoto.

Makoto Shijo, who had been observing silently all along, responded respectfully.

My heart was filled with a subtle and indescribable shock.

"Although I had heard about the situation at the Water Department, this is clearly beyond my expectations..."

Along the way, there were medium-sized manors that resembled fortresses.

Due to the dense wooden fences and walls that obscure the view, it is difficult to see the whole picture clearly.

In addition, there were imposing guards patrolling the area in an orderly manner.

Makoto Shijo had no doubt that this was a private property.

"Is Makoto here to investigate the presence of yokai in this area?"

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke."

Once the conversation got to the point, Makoto Shijou, who had been asking a question, quickly responded.

He didn't want to be seen as someone who came to scout out other situations!

Private land is a kingdom that belongs solely to one person.

This is a common phenomenon in all countries with a system of command.

The appointed governors were no different from the overlords.

Today, Kyosuke Kosaka can be considered the chief minister of a country.

Of course, this kind of thing is quite common, and Makoto Shijou is not too surprised.

He was just thinking of reminding his subordinates to be careful with their words and actions after he left.

Nowadays, Kyosuke Kosaka is an vassal of the regent.

As long as the Taoist priest doesn't fall.

In reality, such potentially controversial matters rarely escalate into a major controversy.

On the contrary, it makes Makoto, who cannot control her subordinates' speech, more likely to be suspected.

This is really not good.

In short, we must show a good attitude!

"The evil demons have already been dealt with by the samurai in our guild, and the other demons are no threat."

"I understand, Lord Kyosuke."

"It's almost time for dinner. Why don't you stay for a meal? I'll have someone escort you back later."

"This……"

"It's alright, there's still plenty of time," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

He had a rather favorable impression of the deputy official in charge of the Da Zi Fu.

Previously, when killing Shinkirou and Tsuchigumo, I was busy with other things but slow to react.

Kyosuke Kosaka saw it all.

Makoto Shijo, who was invited to stay, was even more flattered.

Gradually, they began to purposefully collect information about this prosecutor from the procuratorial department.

He realized that this was absolutely the perfect husband for his daughter.

Even if a nobleman has many wives and concubines, isn't that the case for every nobleman?

Even now, he is often introduced to people as his wife or concubine.

To be honest, it's quite frustrating.
