Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 148

He had already made an appointment with Fujishikibu, so he had to go and meet him.

Fujishikibu was still quite interested in receiving so many poems from the Tang Dynasty and later.

She has already written a long letter in the past two days, asking about many things.

It seems he needs to carefully consider how to start the conversation before he goes.

Being a plagiarist is too much trouble, I can't do it.

But he has a good memory, so he could definitely make a database.

Then, since I have common topics with Fujishikibu, we can still have a good chat.

It was already late when Kyosuke Kosaka left.

Komachi, who had been hugged by Kyosuke Kosaka for quite a while, was still a little embarrassed.

"...Kyosuke-sama really likes Komachi."

Shizuko finally spoke her mind.

Inside the house, Yukinoshita and Chitanda didn't need to hide anything.

Komachi touched her burning cheeks with both hands to feel the temperature, then hummed twice and said:

"It must be because Komachi got a lot of points!"

"Just greet Kyosuke-sama with a joyful shout of 'Kyosuke-sama~!'"

"When she saw Kyosuke-sama frown, she stuffed fruit into his mouth. 'Ah~!'"

"When you see Kyosuke-sama's determined gaze, immediately go over and lift your head so he can pat your hair!"

Shizuko was stunned.

In the end, the words could only be spoken in the heart!

—Only you, Komachi, could do that in this mansion, right?

“…Komachi, you’re more suitable.” Yukinoshita tried hard to suppress her facial muscles.

She imagined the things Komachi had described...

I got goosebumps all over!

Perhaps she wasn't a girl who evoked pity.

Chitanda kept nodding his head, muttering to himself:

"I see, I see."

Yukinoshita, with her keen ears, remained silent as she heard what was happening.

Chitanda is more suitable than her.

Should she...?

Well!

Kyosuke Kousaka rubbed his nose, which was slightly itchy.

Could it be that everyone is secretly saying he likes young girls?

Komachi seems to be almost a high school student by now.

Recalling the moment when they embraced Komachi so passionately, no one seemed to have a strange expression.

Perhaps it's just a habit.

It seems the Taoist priest is talking about me, wondering if I should give him some money or something.

Once you're promoted to a high-ranking position, your official rank is unlikely to rise any further in the short term; otherwise, you'd be destined for a high-ranking official's family.

Kyosuke Kosaka hadn't expected it to reach that level.

Not speaking out would cause controversy and create unnecessary enemies.

Furthermore, the social obligations and various expenses of noble families were very high.

It can easily create a financial burden.

According to his knowledge.

Many noble families have encountered debt disputes due to this issue.

Not having enough money and not being able to forcibly take it, I had no choice but to borrow.

The final result was, of course, quite dismal, leading many noble families to fall into even greater poverty than some mid-level nobles.

This situation is quite similar to that of nobles in feudal times in various countries.

The oxcart stopped.

Kyosuke Kosaka paused his thoughts and stepped out of the oxcart.

Led by a maid, he met Fujishikibu.

Upon meeting, Fujishikibu invited him to sit down and served him tea.

Kyosuke Kousaka, feeling quite pleased with himself, wanted to comfort her first.

With his senses seemingly very sharp, Fujishige asked, "Kyosuke-sama, is this what you want?"

Fujishikibu truly lives up to his name.

Both physically and spiritually, they began to show their broad-mindedness.

While admiring him, Kyo Kosaka kept his eyes straight ahead and answered honestly:

"No, I wanted to talk to you, and besides, I didn't come here just to do that with you."

I have already communicated with most women.

He found that everyone valued honesty.

Saying "I can't tell you" is better than lying or giving evasive answers.

Especially Su Chang, or Fuji Shikibu in front of her.

Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that these two women, both with a stubborn personality, were top-tier in this area.

He didn't seem to have any displeasure or dissatisfaction about it.

Both Su Chang and Fuji Shikibu were clearly completely honest with him.

It's normal to expect the same response.

Of course, it was still a very advanced idea in this era.

"Then let me talk to you." Fujishibu, whose expression was more serene than when they first met, leaned closer.

When Kousaka Kyosuke felt Fuji Shikibu's body pressed against him, he didn't pretend to refuse.

However, there was nothing improper about it; they just hugged.

The night is so long, why rush?

She then spoke with Fujishikibu about some of the things Fujishikibu had asked in her previous letter.

It mainly consists of allusions from poems and lyrics, or information about the poets.

Because almost all poems require allusions.

Like some people who travel to ancient times and immediately copy poems without hesitation?

Kyosuke Kousaka only had two words to say.

--admire!

When discussing poetry, Kyosuke Kosaka didn't engage in lengthy discussions; he mostly listened to Shikibu Fuji.

When Fujishikibu started talking about poetry, he became much more talkative.

"I've heard of some of these poems, but I don't know their contents."

"Tell me, maybe I can help!"

"I'm still willing to listen to what Lord Kyosuke has to say."

"Don't mention it. I always feel a little happy when you ask me for a favor." Kyosuke Kosaka tried his best to put on a serious expression.

He wanted to show that he hadn't lied.

The thought of Chitanda, who had always been so reserved that all one could see was her quiet nature, was unsettling.

He was still very melancholy.

Having lived in this world for a long time, he hopes his partner will occasionally act a little temperamental with him.

Open your heart and reveal the more important aspect of your soul than your body.

As for other strange women who would dare to do this?

Kyosuke Kousaka could only chuckle and ignore it.

He had encountered similar situations in the modern world, many of them.
