Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Apply it, it can remove the scars. If Xue sees it, she will be sad."

"...Thank you, sir."

Yang hesitated for a moment, but still took it.

He heard Kousaka Kyosuke call out his sister's approximate name.

She was pretty sure that Kyosuke Kousaka's concubine was her younger sister.

Naturally, she wasn't very happy either.

After all, the status and position of concubines in this era basically determined their future.

Yang Nai can only be thankful that her sister didn't encounter any bad people...

And Kousaka Kyosuke.

He nodded slightly to Yang Nai to express his friendliness.

She wasn't particularly enthusiastic about Yang.

Through continuous observation during the initial meeting.

He had already discovered that Yang Nai possessed a far more complex and restrained ruthlessness than he had ever known.

"The wound is neat and even, which must have been deliberately created by a skilled swordsman."

"The hair also shows signs of a recent cut, remaining at just shoulder length."

"She has a gentle appearance and resembles a younger sister..."

I'm constantly reflecting on the character designs in "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" and combining that with what I've observed so far.

Kyosuke Kosaka gained a preliminary understanding of Haruno herself.

At least it's clear that her wariness of men is alarmingly high!

I'd rather be ugly than be noticed.

If it weren't for the discovery that Yang Nai wasn't ruthless enough to leave the scar longer.

Kyosuke Kousaka would be even more wary.

"Perhaps this was intentional? Being too ugly would only intensify other people's dislike of you."

Another thought flashed through my mind.

He realized that Yang had deliberately faked it to an astonishing degree.

Kyosuke Kosaka was aware of this and did not do anything unnecessary to cause her excessive rejection.

Yang is very smart and knows how to adapt to changing circumstances.

Even if someone is extremely disgusted, they can probably still show a gentle smile.

Thinking of this, Kyosuke Kousaka felt only apprehension.

She's Yukinoshita's older sister, after all.

She's still Yukinoshita's favorite older sister.

If there's no reason, Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't easily provoke someone.

Thinking back on the snow these past few days, all I could do for him was to be extremely gentle and tolerant.

Even poverty alleviation efforts are underway.

Yukinoshita simply bit her lip and turned her head away, trying her best not to make a sound...

They were extremely cooperative in their actions.

This endearing appearance made Kyosuke Kosaka very reluctant to let Yukinoshita be affected in any way.

There's nothing wrong with living happily and carefree.

Noon.

Kyosuke Kousaka kept Haruno at his estate.

However, he instructed the officials to raise the standards of treatment.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't concern himself with many other matters.

He wanted to go to Heijō-kyō immediately.

Before setting off, Kyosuke Kosaka must have discussed it with Suyi and Sushang.

I didn't plan to bring Yaodao-hime along.

Her demon sword is too obvious; it will attract attention.

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't intend to bring along someone with a high degree of recognizability.

Because we need to act secretly.

It was inappropriate to leave Heian-kyo for Heijō-kyo without permission.

It would be even more controversial to mention that he was going to find the servant's parents.

Therefore, it must be kept secret.

"Lord Kyosuke, are you planning to use magic to find Yuki's parents?"

Su Yi suddenly asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression shifted slightly: "Is there a problem?"

He only asked about the manor where Yang Nai's parents lived, without asking any further details.

Otherwise, it will arouse Yang Nai's greater vigilance and attention.

Put yourself in their shoes.

A stranger, a nobleman, said he would take your sister as a concubine.

Then they asked for detailed information about your parents, appearing very enthusiastic about actively trying to save them.

For someone who is already very wary, this is practically like playing a trick on them!

Therefore, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't have time to prove to Haruno the strange fact that he liked her sister so much.

His idea is simple.

Because I really like Yukinoshita.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Yukinoshita's parents to be in danger and for her to try to save them.

Of course, other partners also like it.

If the same problem were to arise, Kyosuke Kousaka would always go without hesitation.

From the perspective of the world.

Her status was not that of a noblewoman's partner, and her parents were complete strangers to Kousaka Kyosuke.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka did not think so.

His partner's body and soul were laid bare before him to be freely tasted and savored.

Similarly, Kyosuke Kosaka also believes he has corresponding obligations and responsibilities.

“If it’s the old capital… things aren’t that simple,” Su Yi finally replied.

Su Chang let out a soft, surprised exclamation.

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke!"

"There are too many temples and shrines in Heijō-kyō, making it impossible to use magic smoothly!"

Kousaka Kyosuke was stunned.

Su Yi then slowly began to explain.

"In the early days of the old capital, it was built entirely according to the principles of Yin and Yang and Feng Shui."

"As more and more Buddhist temples were built, the original feng shui also changed."

"The force field formed by the countless temples caused the surrounding spiritual energy to become disordered..."

Kyosuke Kousaka listened quietly.

Gradually, he gained a deeper understanding of the country.

According to historical records.

The reasons for moving the capital included Emperor Kanmu's foreign bloodline from the Baekje royal family, which made him incompatible with many nobles.

Another reason is that Buddhist monks wielded considerable power and were able to interfere with the succession to the throne.

"The same reason applies to the world of Onmyoji, and it's even more powerful now."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

According to the explanation of Su Yi.

That's because of the various force field interferences generated by the construction of Buddhist temples.
