Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Yes, even moldy food is still a precious thing.

Even though many people know that the food is poisonous.

If we don't eat, we'll definitely starve to death!

No choice.

Chitanda's pure and lovely face also became a little serious, but she quickly concealed it.

She didn't want to make the atmosphere around her serious because of her relationship.

"There are several batches that have been moldy for a long time and haven't been dealt with yet. Do you need them, Shizuko?"

"Huh, there are still some that haven't been thrown away?"

"Don't underestimate the efficiency of some people," Yukinoshita cautioned.

She was puzzled by the way many people behaved in this era.

This includes efficiency in handling affairs.

She had heard Kyosuke Kosaka mention it, albeit with amusement.

Officials in the government offices dragged out a task that could be done in fifteen minutes for several months.

And this isn't an isolated case!

Many officials are in this situation.

Therefore, Yukinoshita is sometimes quite curious about how Kyoto has managed to operate.

"Oh, is that so..." Shizuko rested her chin on her hand, "But I'll have to be very careful and meticulous in everything I do from now on."

Kyosuke Kosaka had told her that once her work at the government office became easier, he would take her to the Water Department.

She plans to make fertilizer, tools, and other items.

Currently, they are also trying to use the array formation knowledge taught by Kyosuke Kosaka to grow crops and obtain superior seeds.

In conclusion, the main focus should still be on increasing crop yields!

Even if there is a bumper harvest in the future, other farmers will still be exploited even more, but at least they will have something to eat, right?

It's better than starving to death.

Uh, she's overthinking it; these aren't things she should be thinking about.

Getting back to the main point, some of the tasks she does require a lot of help from others.

"Then you should find some suitable people, or teach them more strictly and rigorously, otherwise when Kyosuke-sama finds out, things will only get worse."

Yukinoshita continued to patiently offer reminders.

She had been observing Kyosuke Kousaka all along.

It was as if she always felt that Kyosuke Kousaka was secretly observing her.

Anyway... Yukinoshita knew that Kousaka Kyosuke's personality was not without its strictness.

He never showed this side of himself to her or anyone else.

She realized this a long time ago.

I was puzzled by Kyosuke Kousaka's affectionate gesture.

But once their bodies merged, Yukinoshita stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, she is more concerned about how to avoid putting Kyosuke Kosaka in a difficult position.

It wasn't that she was trying to curry favor or anything.

It's simply about mutual respect and understanding.

She would never deliberately try to please anyone!

Taking good care of someone is simply fulfilling one's responsibilities and obligations.

"..."

Shizuko and Chitanda looked at each other.

They all noticed that Yukinoshita suddenly lowered her head.

She also noticed the blush on the fair, delicate cheeks beneath the snow.

The blush deepened, extending all the way to her delicate earlobes.

"She looks exactly like Miku!"

Shizuko couldn't help but complain to herself.

She thought about it and understood.

Even the nobility in the Heian period entertained themselves by dating.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal to follow local customs when in Rome.

"Snow……"

Chitanda blinked, looking confused.

But I couldn't help but think about why Yukinoshita looked like this at this moment.

She suddenly recalled the scene of herself moving up and down on Kyosuke Kosaka not long ago.

Her cheeks suddenly flushed, a captivating blush rising to her cheeks, as rosy as the sunset.

Shizuko glanced at her friends out of the corner of her eye, feeling utterly frustrated.

Please, everyone, get back to your work.

The newly developed estate needs people who are serious about getting things done!

the other side.

Just as Shizuko had suspected, Kyosuke Kousaka was indeed doing his job.

Having borrowed some more food from Beitian'in and Jingtian'in, he was finally able to stop the homeless from going hungry!

By the way.

The so-called "Beitain" and "Keitenin"

That is a welfare institution that provides assistance to people in dire straits and the sick and injured, regardless of age or gender.

It is of the same nature as the "hospital" where Fuyumi Iru stayed before.

Unfortunately, even the Ministry of Finance is considering abolishing several government offices.

How could such welfare institutions possibly receive any public funds?

Moreover, it was already quite difficult to find even a trace of compassion in this feudal-era welfare institution.

Let's be honest.

Kyosuke Kosaka led a group of people to borrow it.

I've inquired, and it turns out that the two officials in charge of these offices are vassals of Kenjiro.

However, Kenjiro is the current head of the Prosecutor's Office.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable to have vassals support the work of one's own officials and subordinates.

"Speaking of which... when I went to the government office, Kenryu was still nowhere to be seen. I wonder if he really was at home strategizing."

Kyousuke Kosaka has a delicate heart.

He thought to himself that the "chief" in many government offices was indeed an honorary title, and it seemed quite likely.

Furthermore, Kanetaka was originally the eldest son of Kaneshiro Kaneshiro.

How could one possibly be too enthusiastic about maintaining order, a task that ordinary nobles considered vulgar?

The general idea was to send people to protect the other nobles in the upper and middle-ranking noble areas, and then leave the rest alone.

To be honest... this approach is actually quite reasonable and appropriate.

If it weren't for the fact that the chaotic situation lasted for two days.

If it weren't for the deaths of some high-ranking officials from the Ministry of War.

Perhaps the responsibility really isn't that great.

The location where Kyosuke Kosaka was appointed.

He discovered that the security in the upper and middle-class noble areas was quite good.

The streets were in a mess, many buildings were destroyed, and there were probably too many vengeful spirits that couldn't be dealt with in time.

As for vengeful spirits, calling them minor monsters is already an understatement.

It's a force that can intimidate even the most lowly soldiers with a hint of menace.

At most, the sheer number is frightening.

From an objective point of view, Kaneyuki really did a great job.
