Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Your body is still a bit too weak, so you shouldn't experience any more ups and downs tonight."

"I'm sorry! I'm so frail that I can't satisfy you, Kyosuke-sama—"

"There's no need for an apology; there are other ways."

Seeing that Fumino was about to dogeza (bow down) again, Kousaka Kyosuke quickly took her small hand.

He discovered that Fumino had the same habit as Shizuko.

I really like apologizing.

But Shizuko seemed to quickly understand his personality and was almost completely at ease.

Kyosuke Kousaka thought that Fumino, with her high emotional intelligence, should be able to do it too.

I'm taking a day off tomorrow, should I help out Jingzi a bit too?

Shizuko often muttered that she was the least attractive, but she forgot that resources were also scarce.

With Kyosuke Kousaka's confidence.

He promised that he would successfully help Wen Nai with poverty alleviation in less than a year!

At that time, Shizuko may become even more precious.

Oh, and under the snow...

Day 154 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka had no intention of going to work.

He was dismissed from his post as an inspector for illegal activities.

Now it merely holds the empty title of "Secondary Officer of the Water Department".

But at least he's still a "superior" from the fifth rank.

"Fumino, you are free to move around in the bedroom. I'm going to check on the others."

"Ok."

Fumino replied, her cheeks still rosy.

She wasn't unhappy when Kyosuke Kosaka told her to go see other people.

We can't be so domineering towards Kyosuke Kousaka.

Fumino was even more grateful to Kyosuke Kousaka for coming to keep her company.

Nothing happened last night.

I don't know why I fell asleep after trembling for a while.

Although it felt very comfortable, I still felt a little embarrassed... so I kept my eyes closed the whole time.

Kousaka Kyosuke, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, wasn't so conflicted.

I did nothing last night.

Kyosuke Kousaka, however, was still quite satisfied.

In particular, I felt the genuine affection that Fumino conveyed to my heart.

"And it's also great to try different flavors."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

Unconsciously, I walked to Fujishibu's room.

Oh, what a coincidence!

Then there's no way.

"...Lord Kyosuke, don't overwork yourself."

Fifteen minutes later, Fujishibu gently stroked Kousaka Kyosuke's black hair.

When asked to do this before, Fujishikibu thought it was against etiquette.

But after Kousaka Kyosuke pleaded again, she had no choice...

Kyosuke Kousaka, buried in the deep abyss, remained silent.

He suddenly felt that it would be better to return to his original self.

In life, one should follow one's heart.

Chenshi.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply went to the Qin clan's territory dressed in plain clothes.

He suddenly realized that Su Yi had taken a bath with him yesterday, but they were not married yet.

I took advantage of this quiet and peaceful time to do what I needed to do...

86. A Wedding in Plain Clothes / Fujishibu's Virtuousness / Building the Imperial Palace from Scratch / The Old Capital

They went to the Qin clan's territory.

Today is much livelier than usual.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

"Kyosuke-sama."

Greetings that could be heard every day rang out.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded and smiled at each of the familiar faces.

This time, Su Chang followed along like a little tail.

She waved and greeted the other relatives and friends with a smile.

Su Yi, who was calmly following behind Kousaka Kyosuke, frowned as she watched her sister's behavior.

She planned to wait a while before scolding her younger sister.

Since she's traveling with a man, it wouldn't be good to be too unrestrained.

Soon after, the two sisters, dressed in plain clothes, returned to their original residence.

Kyosuke Kosaka, on the other hand, went to discuss marriage with the clan chief.

"Sister, your wedding this time is just as rushed as mine before."

"..."

Su Yi Wu Yan, who wanted to teach her younger sister a lesson, what kind of talk was that?

Su Chang ignored Su Yi's feelings and continued talking about other things.

"However, the betrothal gifts are quite generous. You probably don't know that, do you? Lord Kyosuke gave a lot."

"……How many?"

"I guess the hundred spider-slicing swords and the thousand spirit talismans were originally meant to fight those monsters."

Su Chang shared her guess.

Even if she didn't want to investigate, she could guess many things just by looking at them.

Her husband, Kyosuke Kosaka, has always been easy to understand; his behavior is not complicated at all.

"...I suppose we'll still be able to use it in the future."

"Ah, does Sister have no other objections to the betrothal gifts?" Su Chang asked in surprise.

Wouldn't you think it's too much?

Or do you think that a portion should be returned?

Su Yi calmly said, "I have no objection to the decision made by Lord Kyosuke."

Unless there's something unreasonable about it.

"Then you'd better work harder tonight, sister!"

"...What should we do then?"

"Lord Kyosuke is usually very gentle in his teaching."

"Ah."

Seemingly calm, but secretly wanting to cram at the library, Su Yi relaxed.

Then she should just stay the same as her sister.

Sometimes, Su Yi didn't hear the women's unabashed discussions.

I've never quite understood it, and I think my sister probably does too...

Furthermore, Su Yi knew that her younger sister had not looked at the books in the library before her marriage.

Now it's her turn.

Although Su Yi found this strange, she thought it would be great to personally treat her husband later.
