Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 134

Hachiman walked step by step to the back door of a mansion.

Soon after, he paid a maid to help him summon someone.

Approaching Hachiman was a gentle woman with black hair and black eyes, dressed in a gray cloth dress.

He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than Hikigaya.

"Sister Xun..."

"Hey, Hachi~ don't be so unhappy."

The woman named Xun smiled and spoke, her tone as gentle as it appeared.

Hachiman felt healed by the gentle smile.

Even though he's not the type of guy who likes older women, why am I so smitten?

"Hey, Xiao Ba, come find me later," Xun suddenly said in a low voice.

Her eyes revealed a rare tenderness and affection.

Hikigaya's heart pounded.

They immediately understood what the patrolman was talking about.

"No, Sister Xun, I asked the adults for help, so you won't have to get married soon."

"..."

Xun's expression froze, and he fell silent.

Hachiman was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

at the same time.

There is also a side that is in a delicate state of silence.

In a secret room with a powerful barrier, Kyosuke Kousaka is watching Minamoto no Yorimitsu build a mecha.

That's right, it's a mecha.

Each of the two-meter-tall humanoid metal figures was indistinguishable from a mecha.

After a long while, Minamoto no Yorimitsu stopped making things and looked at Kosaka Kyosuke, a confident smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Look, this is the weapon I'm so proud of."

As soon as he finished speaking, the motionless humanoid metal eyes suddenly emitted a red light.

He slashed the air with the giant blade he was gripping tightly in his hand.

The sound of wind and thunder rises!

A sharp, surging energy!

Kyosuke Kousaka, who could clearly feel the sharpness emanating from him, simply smiled.

"Only you have the ability to manufacture this."

One whole block of steel could make countless high-quality kitchen knives!

Only Genji had this advantage.

Kyosuke Kousaka was well aware that the Genji clan monopolized countless trades and were the largest maritime merchants.

Many rare foreign items were sold to Kyoto through the Genji clan.

They made a fortune, which made everyone envious.

"Is there something you need?" Minamoto no Yorimitsu ignored the sarcastic remarks and asked with a smile.

Kousaka Kyosuke said directly: "I want someone."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu chuckled, immediately understanding: "It's better to have a balance than to seek momentary pleasure."

"Been taught a lesson."

"How about you play a match with me?"

"Row."

"That's a very good point about you."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

He had a good impression of Kyosuke Kosaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka is an extremely strong and decisive person.

He didn't mind that they were from the Fujiwara family.

In his view, as long as they can cooperate, that's enough.

He found the conservatives in his family, who were of average ability but short-sighted, extremely distasteful.

It just so happens that we were able to get rid of a batch of them recently, which is not bad.

After that, Kyosuke Kosaka had a brief sparring match with Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

The borrowed swords and blades were all shattered in the battle, and only then did the sparring truly cease.

"Very good, it seems your martial arts skills haven't declined."

"A step backward is not a good thing, especially recently."

"It's good to be more vigilant."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu said with a smile.

He highly praised Kyosuke Kosaka's probing.

This ambiguous attitude, neither confirming nor denying, made Kousaka Kyosuke deeply aware of the complexity of this person.

Overall, this person is neither good nor bad.

In any case, Kyosuke Kousaka understood that the possibility of an alliance between the two was the highest.

"Then I'll go get him."

"Go ahead and tell the people outside."

"Ah."

Kousaka Kyosuke responded.

And just like that, he easily began to boss people around.

He was quite happy because there were no difficulties as expected.

However... Kousaka Kyosuke hadn't expected there to be so many people in the Hikigaya territory.

One, two, three, four, four in total.

Three women and one man.

After leaving the territory of the Minamoto clan, Kyosuke Kousaka, who was walking in front, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

“Ah Ba, although your salary is enough to support four people, you should be more restrained.”

"……Yes."

Hikigaya, who was following behind Kousaka Kyosuke, was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear.

At that moment, he realized that he absolutely could not deny it.

Otherwise, it would be a blatant slap in the face.

"It's better to have a balance between work and rest than to seek momentary pleasure," Kousaka Kyosuke added.

I don't know why, but saying it aloud gave me a strange feeling.

Hikigaya quickly agreed.

He understood it all too well.

Kyosuke Kousaka is a really kind person.

He was very gentle with his younger sister and was willing to help her out of consideration for her.

Otherwise, the corpses would rot and turn into bones, and how could we possibly learn a lesson from them?

He could only feel grateful.

Other emotions shouldn't exist in the first place.

And... this is truly a disgrace to Komachi!

Hachiman felt like crying.

"In short, just be careful. I'll arrange for the person to stay at the estate in Ukyo for now."

"Yes!"

"Keep up." Kyosuke Kousaka sighed inwardly, too lazy to say anything more.

Seeing that Hachiman was almost in tears, he couldn't be bothered to say anything.

He completely ignores any strangers.
