Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 171

"...Do they all become officials?"

"Yes, most of them are in the seventh digit or the first digit."

"...It's really quite good."

Fujiwara Kaori laughed again without realizing it.

She knew that there were many people like them who had come into this world.

A cautious and rational person can conceal things very well.

What about careless people, or even idiots?

Most of them are already dead.

Fujiwara Kaori also knew.

There were many girls in the mansion just like her.

But Fujiwara Kaori didn't care too much.

As long as we don't cause trouble, she's willing to get along well with us.

However, a whole bunch of relatives came, and one of them even became an official...

It's really hard for Fujiwara Kaori to stay calm when she finds out about this.

His uncles and aunts were mostly social elites, and many of them were involved in politics.

In a normal ancient world, a single person could easily dominate the world and accomplish great things.

Unfortunately, this Heian period was anything but normal.

It's also very fantastical and magical.

Demons, monsters, evil spirits, gods, Buddhas, and Onmyoji... if you're not careful, you can easily die.

Fortunately, everyone was a nobleman, so nothing happened.

“...This world is really unfair,” Fujiwara Kaori murmured again.

Wan Sui laughed and said, "Does Xiangzi want to be born into a more noble family?"

"You know what I'm talking about... never mind, I feel pretty good about it right now."

"So, do you think we can continue this conversation?"

"Yes, I understand. I will tell you more about Lord Kyosuke's preferences in more detail..."

"Thank you very much, Xiangzi. We are relatives, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Whatever, just remember your promise, no matter what."

“Of course, I will remember my promise,” Wan Sui said quickly.

Seeing that her niece Fujiwara Kaori was so sensible, Wan Sui felt much more at ease.

She understood that Fujiwara Kaori did have a broad perspective in some aspects.

Since we know we have so many capable relatives around us, there's no reason to ignore them.

It would benefit both her husband, Kyosuke Kousaka, and herself.

Afterwards, Wan Sui went to find out more about it.

Even though listening to this kind of information has a strong sense of immorality.

But for her husband and daughter, she still had to do it.

"We can't let Chika know for now, otherwise the pressure will be too much and she'll end up like before..."

Wan Sui's mind was suddenly filled with a fleeting image of her daughter's obedient and well-behaved appearance from the past.

However, it still hurts to realize now that that obedient and docile demeanor was just a facade.

Making her daughter force a smile is suppressing her emotions too much.

Then I'm afraid I've also lost the right to be a mother.

Drizzling~

At noon, the rain was still falling.

Kyosuke Kosaka also left Fujishibu's house.

After meeting his father, elder brother, and younger brother, he chatted for almost two hours before leaving.

I also had a meal during that time.

Kyosuke Kosaka carefully observed his younger brother, Yusei.

I found no flaws in their character, and I am very satisfied.

In his heart, he had already reserved a sixth-rank official position for him.

Although I don't know how good Fujishikibu was to his younger brother.

But after hearing about how she studied with her younger brother since she was a child.

Kyosuke Kosaka understood that the relationship between the two wouldn't be too bad.

As for his brother, Kyosuke Kousaka can't offer much help.

The sixth-rank official, Shibu Cheng, was a civil servant within the palace.

It would be difficult for someone of his status and position, who has a military background, to help.

At most, if I get fired later, I'll help them find a job.

But isn't that a bit like jinxing?

With a self-deprecating laugh, Kousaka Kyosuke went to work at the government office.

The main task is to process the list of firefighters who bravely sacrificed their lives.

Recently, many firefighters have died or resigned voluntarily, resulting in a severe shortage of human resources.

Kyosuke Kosaka even asked if any of his other subordinates had any recommendations.

As a result, they all shook their heads violently.

Left with no other choice, Kyosuke Kosaka had to take a wife from the Qin family.

There is nothing we can do about it.

But I've been thinking about it recently.

To avoid sacrificing more lives.

Kyosuke Kosaka decides to give the newly appointed fire soldier some tools to protect himself.

Like disposable spirit charms, or newly subdued yokai spirits.

That way, not so many people would have died.

Kyosuke Kousaka expressed a very high level of self-respect for his sense of responsibility!

"Lord Kyosuke, I heard you assigned it to someone else..."

"A talisman? Those were some gifts I gave to my wife's family members. You want one too?"

While working, Kousaka Kyosuke saw a captain from the Sakagami family come over to ask him something, and asked with a smile.

The captain looked embarrassed and didn't say anything more.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said proactively:

"I've also traded talismans with the Genji before; they cost a thousand coins each. Are you interested in buying them?"

"...No, no need."

The captain repeatedly refused.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked bored; making money was really hard.

Not yet.

The rain outside has lessened a bit.

Kousaka Kyosuke patrols Ukyo on a daily basis.

This time, it was discovered that there was a significant amount of miasma.

At this point, it was necessary to send someone to contact their former workplace—the Yin-Yang Bureau.

"There is too much miasma, which will affect the travel of important people. Please help us."

"……I see."

Kamo no Yasunori, the agent for the Yin-Yang head, nodded solemnly.

Kousaka Kyosuke bowed and prepared to say goodbye to his former boss.

The emotions inside are quite strange.
