Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 282

Higher-order faith is also included.

Having learned the situation, Kousaka Kyosuke knew that he had previously directed the Onmyoji to protect the nobles.

In short, they are doing something.

Even when Kyosuke Kosaka met him that day, he was still dressed neatly.

"Unfortunately, his political skills aren't very good."

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his eyes.

Gradually, I realized that I was more like someone who picked up bargains.

He seemed quite calm.

There was no guilt, nor any pride.

Politics is inherently dirty.

Even if you do good deeds or practical things, it's all for naught.

Another hour passed.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed Kyoto in a golden hue, which soon faded.

After wandering around the upper and middle-class noble areas, Kousaka Kyosuke went to the area south of the four main roads.

Compared to before, there are far fewer small monsters and even fewer vengeful spirits.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the mindless wandering spirit, without even bothering to look at it again.

Tonight I'm on patrol.

Also check the work attitude of the other firefighters and guards.

Just like how teachers used to always appear by the window during class.

Kyosuke Kosaka will do something similar tonight.

"Kyosuke-sama."

"Ah."

In the darkness, even without the faint moonlight.

Kyosuke Kousaka still knew that it was Hikigaya who greeted him.

At this moment, he was followed by ten guards.

His hand rested on the knife at his waist, as if he were ready to strike at any moment.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought this was a good idea.

Without saying much to Hikigaya, Kousaka Kyosuke left.

A little while later, Kyosuke Kousaka ran into Ayanokouji again.

"Kyosuke-sama."

"Ah."

The same way of greeting.

Kyosuke Kosaka subtly noticed that Ayanokouji's gaze towards him, besides respect, also contained... wariness.

The firemen behind them were the same.

"...Being too tense puts too much strain on the body. Learn to face everything with a calm and composed attitude."

"Of course, I mean we still need to be cautious. In short, you should manage your physical and mental energy reasonably."

Kyosuke Kosaka struggled to control the twitching of his facial expression as he gave some pointers to the group.

Realizing he had been caught, Ayanokouji quickly bowed and apologized.

"My apologies, Lord Kyosuke! I am also extremely grateful for your guidance!"

The group of fire-wielding soldiers behind him also quickly bowed deeply.

"It's alright, it's perfectly reasonable for you to be cautious."

Kyosuke Kosaka managed to utter a single sentence before leaving.

He felt that it would be better to praise his brother-in-law's behavior.

I just really can't bring myself to praise it...

How to say?

Ayanokouji's thinking was indeed correct.

It doesn't say that monsters can't transform into the appearance of adults.

Day 185 of crossing

Before 5:00 AM (卯时).

After meeting with Fujiwara no Michitsuna to discuss official business, the meeting concluded.

Kyosuke Kousaka then went back.

The following days were a relatively peaceful period.

Aside from Minamoto no Yorimitsu backstabbing the serpent.

Kyosuke Kosaka basically just needs to wait for his appointment as a prosecutor in the Criminal Investigation Department to be terminated.

To celebrate, Kyosuke Kosaka decides to share with Shikibu Fuji.

As soon as he arrived at the bedchamber, Kousaka Kyosuke ran into Yukinoshita.

It was not yet dawn, but Yukinoshita got up earlier than usual, carrying a rag in her hand.

"...Kyosuke-sama."

Good morning, Yukino.

Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

After Su Chang asked Yang Nai about Yukino's name, Yukino's name was finally complete.

Su Chang now calls out to Yukinoshita every day as "Yukino Yukino" or "Little Yukino".

This caused a little trouble for the snow.

Since he was in a good mood, Kyosuke Kosaka also wanted to tease Yukinoshita.

However, to Kousaka Kyosuke's surprise, Yukinoshita nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, her face flushed.

Kousaka Kyosuke pondered.

It seems that poverty alleviation is still the most important thing.

That's true; we can't let the conflict between the rich and the poor escalate.

100. Sensitive Under the Snow / Fathers-in-Law / Promotion / Snake God / Agriculture

Searching for plum blossoms in the snow.

I noticed that Yukinoshita was much more well-behaved than usual today.

Kyosuke Kosaka was also more relaxed than usual.

He deliberately avoided eye contact to reduce the girl's sense of shame.

As a result, the poverty alleviation work proceeded more and more smoothly.

At least it made Kyosuke Kousaka feel that there was hope for the future.

Perhaps, Yukinoshita Mirai should be a woman with a deep and insightful mind.

No, Kyosuke Kousaka is absolutely certain!

Half an hour passed.

Seeing that he was too tired, Kyosuke Kosaka did not continue.

The exchange between the two parties focused more on enjoyment.

When you get tired or bored, it loses its true meaning.

Kyosuke Kosaka hopes for a mutually beneficial outcome for both sides.

"...I'm still okay."

A clear, melodious sound, like a flowing stream, rang out.

Kousaka Kyosuke's mind drifted to the faces of May and Chika.

In a moment of complex emotion, he held Yukinoshita in his arms and remained silent.

"..."

She saw Kousaka Kyosuke hugging her without saying a word.
