Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Things will get better after you settle down and start a family.

Despite her strange emotions, Yukinoshita comforted Komachi.

Based on her guess, she believed that things wouldn't just end so simply.

However, this society is inherently full of hardships and helplessness.

Noticing that Komachi was still uneasy about what had happened that day, Yukinoshita gently comforted her.

Even though some of the things I said were against my conscience.

But she knew it would be better to tell people to put their minds at ease.

Day 128 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka spent another evening chatting with Chika Fujiwara.

I noticed that Chika Fujiwara was in high spirits.

He suspected that the girl was catching up on sleep during the day.

While chuckling, I didn't delve too deeply into the girl's ostrich mentality.

In Kyosuke Kosaka's view, this is normal.

It is reasonable for women who have been exposed to modern ideas and values ​​to do this.

Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't force him.

As the saying goes, "Forced love is never sweet."

There are too many melons in the mansion.

If it weren't for the situation, Kyosuke Kosaka wouldn't have come at all.

Fujiwara Chika is not worth Kousaka Kyosuke taking any initiative to do.

On the contrary, it is the passionate and proactive partners in the mansion that Kousaka Kyosuke prefers!

Like Fujishikibu, a typical noblewoman of this era.

Kyosuke Kousaka also likes it very much.

Nowadays, some partners are obedient and docile, while others are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums each possess their own unique beauty.

Why bother sucking up to others?

Kyosuke Kousaka, who thought it was perfectly natural, didn't think much of it at all.

I'll come over again tonight, and we can chat every now and then to keep in touch.

Sometimes, marriage is enough just as a title.

"..."

Seeing that Qianhua was fully dressed again and still yawning from exhaustion, Wan Sui was both amused and exasperated.

She didn't try to persuade her, but simply asked as usual:

"Did you chat with Lord Kyosuke again last night?"

Chika looked embarrassed.

"Yes, Kyosuke-sama is very gentle and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions."

Did you see him last night?

"...Ah! We were having so much fun chatting, I forgot, I forgot!"

Upon hearing her mother's question, Chika suddenly panicked.

Wan Sui looked quite distressed.

"The three-day ceremony is tonight, and you still haven't met him. If this continues..."

"I understand! I'll definitely be more careful from now on!"

"After the ceremony tonight, you still need to have basic physical contact with him, you understand?"

"...Um, I know."

"I didn't say you have to get together. It's fine if things happen naturally. I'm just reminding you to pay attention to Kyosuke-sama's attitude."

Seeing her daughter blush so much her eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, Wan Sui sighed.

"You need to understand that Lord Kyosuke himself is not lacking in women. But you are not. You have no chance to change husbands."

"If I don't have even the most basic emotional exchange with Lord Kyosuke by tomorrow..."

"He should come over and chat with you as usual afterward, you need to pay attention to that."

Wan Sui didn't want to speak so frankly about such private matters.

The problem is, it concerns her daughter's future happiness, so she still has to talk to her properly.

Based on her understanding of Kyosuke Kousaka.

This person is decisive and acts swiftly.

Having experienced much bloodshed himself, he is largely numb and indifferent.

In other words, he has a good reputation for being gentle and kind to those around him.

However, this made Wan Sui even more uneasy.

A good reputation indicates that one has ambition and courage.

They will only become more indifferent to other people and things, but it will be even harder for others to notice.

In other words.

If Kyosuke Kosaka believes that this is all the sincerity he has for this marriage.

Kyosuke Kousaka might then become suspicious.

Even just a few things were enough to put their family in a bad situation.

Mansui firmly believed that Kyosuke Kosaka would take action against someone he had no connection with.

False in-law relationships are like illusory bubbles.

It shatters with a single poke.

"Tonight, I will definitely have a good talk with Lord Kyosuke!"

Chika also realized that the problem was a bit serious, and she stopped hesitating when she spoke.

Even though her face was still burning and red.

Ultimately, she still had a basic understanding.

She knew it was shameful to let the man who was about to become her husband chat during the marriage.

She was quite surprised that the man remained so composed even after chatting until dawn.

It's also her fault for being so clueless; she got so caught up in the conversation that she forgot the time.

They even forgot the most basic thing: how to greet someone...

"Hmm." Wan Sui didn't remind her again.

She shouldn't have gotten too involved in this kind of thing.

But she began to realize that her daughter was being so confused that she was about to do something stupid, so she had to intervene.

Feelings need to be nurtured.

The problem is that they didn't even give us a chance in the first place.

There's no going back then.

Even though his niece, Fujiwara Kaori, said that Kousaka Kyosuke had a kind and generous personality.

That's probably only how they treat the people closest to them, right?

That's just how things are in the world.

Chenshi.

After passing by Fujishikibu's residence and delivering the letter to her, Kousaka Kyosuke went straight to the government office.

He summoned the four officials in charge of general affairs and immediately began dismissing the firefighters.

"Daisuke and Jiro secretly collected tribute money several times and were dismissed from their posts."

"Yiping was dismissed from his post for misappropriating the proceeds of the confiscation of the Baofu family's property."

"Zhengwei is suspected of abusing the manor's private servants. Arrest him."

After gathering a group of firemen, Kyosuke Kosaka slowly began to judge the most basic personnel in each of the government offices.

As the most numerous and ordinary members of the government offices, it's understandable that the group is a mix of good and bad.

Kyosuke Kosaka cannot allow this to continue.

"Lord Kyosuke, is this...?"
