Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 149

That kind of woman would die a violent death no matter where she goes in this world, right?

The women that Kousaka Kyosuke has met so far are all different.

They are all very well-behaved.

Therefore, some guidance is needed.

"Thank you for your help. I'll think about it later; it's getting a bit late now."

"It's good that we lost track of time while discussing it."

Kyosuke Kosaka finally turned his head and nuzzled Fujishikibu's cheek.

The more they chatted, the more her indifferent expression disappeared.

Looking at her now, she's just a beautiful woman who's a bit aloof.

"I will serve you."

A gentle smile appeared on Fujishikibu's face.

In Kyosuke Kosaka's eyes, Fuji Shikibu seemed to radiate a brilliance that surpassed even the splendor of heaven and earth.

It was as magnificent as a layer of crimson clouds spreading over a clear, bright moon.

That beauty was like a pure white lotus bathed in the colorful morning glow...

Kyosuke Kousaka could feel it all.

One night.

Kyosuke Kosaka savored the cool elegance that carried the most beautiful allure of the world.

Day 140 of crossing

Mao Shi.

Kyosuke Kousaka carefully felt the changes in his body.

The burden caused by the magic she performed when Akiko had an accident yesterday was instantly relieved.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Avoid being bothered by several days of physical discomfort.

Naturally, what pleased Kousaka Kyosuke the most was that Fuji Shikibu's gaze towards him was now always filled with spring mist.

Her pair of indifferent, purplish-red eyes were now shimmering with gentle waves, her gaze indescribably docile.

"Lord Kyosuke, please be careful on your journey."

"The new house will be completed in two or three days. I will only hire some servants then. You must come."

As Kousaka Kyosuke nodded, he brought up another matter.

Fujishikibu responded softly, indicating his agreement.

With doubts arising in her mind, she unusually took the initiative to ask about another matter.

"Lord Kyosuke, what kind of person is Miss Kaori?"

"I think she admires your writing skills. I was begged to come here by her back then, but now I'm starting to feel grateful for it."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

When he first met Fujishikibu, he had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he were encountering a second Susho.

You can gradually come into contact with it.

He discovered that Fujishikibu was simply the quintessential noblewoman of ancient times!

He had no doubt whatsoever that the other noblewomen were trash!

Fine, Kousaka Kyosuke will just accept that this is the extent of his perspective.

All we can say is that Fuji Shikibu perfectly matched his aesthetic standards for women in ancient times.

"You admire my writing skills... I don't understand."

"This is actually just my personal understanding."

"Yes, next time we meet, I will sincerely express my gratitude to her."

"Okay, I'm off then."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

Fujishibu, who had quickly forgotten about Fujiwara Kaori, smiled gently and said goodbye to Kousaka Kyosuke.

As her husband disappeared, Fujishikibu was somewhat lost in thought.

Ring ring ring~

The sound of bells ringing was clear and melodious by the window.

Fujishikibu closed his eyes and felt it.

The small ornaments hanging by the window produce a cool, refreshing sound.

Fujishikibu couldn't help but laugh.

Inside the oxcart.

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered how many more fire soldiers would die today.

These past two days.

He treated the fire soldiers, who only knew how to slack off and waste resources, as expendable resources.

As for public opinion?

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't care about the reputation of the Fire Soldiers or even their families.

He became the "head" of the Prosecutor's Office after the establishment of the Prosecution Department.

Kyosuke Kosaka understands very well that his future responsibility is to protect the basic safety of the nobility.

It means we must protect them.

The rest can be improved gradually.

The safety of the nobles is a lightning bolt.

Kyosuke Kousaka knew this from the very beginning.

In these turbulent times, it's best not to worry about other details.

Go to the Prosecutor's Office.

When Kosaka Kyosuke saw some familiar members of the Qin family, he nodded secretly.

He could identify people with the surname Qin simply by sensing their breathing and footsteps, even with his eyes closed.

What a huge difference!

"Lord Kyosuke, this is the list of those who died on duty yesterday."

"Let's use public funds to hire a group of monks to chant sutras for them."

"...Lord Kyosuke, it will be rather difficult to hire monks since there were signs of deities and Buddhas appearing at the palace gate yesterday, and people were bowing and chanting."

Fujiwara Tomoyuki, who was reporting to Kosaka Kyosuke, paused for a moment before speaking.

Kyosuke Kosaka remained silent. "Wouldn't it be better if you worshipped me?"

No charge.

Just help organize a funeral.

After a moment of silence, Kyosuke Kousaka carefully considered his words.

Just as he was about to speak, a government official brought over a newly issued document.

Upon closer inspection, Kyosuke Kosaka discovered it was an official document regarding the construction of a Buddhist temple.

Well, it seems the Taoist priest also needs to promote his daughter!

"Come, gather everyone."

Kousaka Kyosuke gave Fujiwara Tomoyuki a brief instruction.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki accepted the order.

Half an hour later.

With everything arranged, Kousaka Kyosuke set off with several squads of fire soldiers who were still of use, as well as members of the Qin family.

Arrive at the location of Ukyo Gojo Avenue.

Kyosuke Kosaka ordered martial law to be in effect at all key points.

"The Taoist priest instructed me to oversee the construction of the Buddhist temple, which means he doesn't want any problems to arise."
