Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

This didn't make her frown or show any displeasure.

Even now, when things are going wrong, Kousaka Kyosuke can still see that Fuji Shikibu remains calm.

Fujishikibu had a very strong sense of self.

This is very challenging for Kyosuke Kousaka.

There are other women in the mansion, but only Yukinoshita is this strong.

After all, Yukinoshita's personality is the most complex one.

“I’m glad you said that, Kyosuke-sama, but I’m not a woman who is lovable.”

“I have a different opinion. As a poet once said, ‘Looking at it from the side, it’s a mountain range; viewed from the front, it’s a peak. It looks different from afar and near, high and low.’”

"So, Lord Kyosuke likes women like me..."

"Don't say that. Anyway, I think you're very lovable," Kousaka Kyosuke said with certainty.

To express his determination, he even stopped moving.

If you make a woman feel like "he only loves my body," then your strategy has basically failed.

He wants perfection; he can't afford to sacrifice the greater good for the lesser!

Fujishikibu looked at Kousaka Kyousuke strangely.

Since the two were embracing, she could clearly sense Kousaka Kyosuke's condition.

After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand again and took Kousaka Kyosuke's hand.

"You don't need to prove it that way."

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled dryly.

Faced with Fujishikibu's magnanimity, he could only admire him.

Day 124 of crossing

It was almost dawn, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke had gotten up, Fuji Shikibu, who had only rested for a short while, also got up to help Kousaka Kyosuke get dressed.

"I'll come over tonight," Kousaka Kyosuke said solemnly.

"I look forward to your arrival, Kyosuke-sama."

A faint smile appeared on Fujishikibu's face.

Kyosuke Kosaka was surprised, but he didn't show it; he just smiled gently.

Soon after, the two parted ways.

Fujishikibu sat on the brocade couch, as if quietly waiting for something.

Ring ring ring~.

The sound of bells ringing could be heard from above and below the window.

Fujishikibu looked up at the window and noticed that there was an extra decoration in the room.

"The wind chimes are much smaller than those in the temples outside..."

Fujishikibu muttered to himself.

Close your eyes and enjoy the cool, refreshing sound produced by the delicate ornaments.

Chenshi.

Kyosuke Kosaka did not return to the mansion.

He went straight to the government office to start working.

After taking the ledger from Fujiwara no Tomoyuki, he carefully checked the accounts.

It's not that I don't trust Fujiwara Tomoyuki, but I'm aware that deception is prone to occur below.

If the Qin family members want to move in here, then some people have to be driven away.

Therefore, it is necessary to systematically search for the faults of certain individuals.

It is perfectly normal for him to deal with a mistake according to the law.

After all, it's better than kicking someone out without any reason, just by saying "I'm not happy"?

While actions like those of Fujiwara no Yasuke can be accomplished through official authority and power.

But the consequences were quite wonderful.

The day before yesterday, before anyone else could even read the contents of the imperial edict, a group of people hurriedly seized Fujiwara no Yasusuke.

This is perhaps because Fujiwara no Yasuke acted too recklessly.

Put yourself in their shoes.

If you perceive that others will be detrimental to you or harm your interests.

So it's quite natural for hostile emotions to arise spontaneously, right?

now.

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to try his best to reduce everyone's emotions.

Going against a group of people will never end well.

Even if he were to become the head of the Anti-Illegal Activities Bureau later on, he would still have to win over some people and suppress others.

Needless to say, he's looking for targets to suppress.

"Did anyone misbehave in their treatment of your personal servants yesterday? If so, just tell me."

"……Yes."

Despite feeling nervous, Fujiwara Tomoyuki tried his best to remain calm and answer.

The private servants of the former prosecutor, Satohara Yasuke, were indeed all beautiful women.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki, who was on his way to raid the house, immediately noticed this and therefore assigned relatively honest people to guard it.

But there are always some cunning people who want to take advantage of others.

But Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly asked about this, which clearly shows that he knew or thought that this situation would definitely occur.

But suddenly asking him to name the person responsible... that's clearly a way of settling scores.

"It seems something has happened that made Lord Kyosuke start targeting these ordinary fire soldiers."

The facts are as expected.

On that same day, Kyosuke Kosaka dealt with a group of fire soldiers.

Subsequently, the fees at the market were strictly enforced as before.

He also stated that he would not show any leniency if anyone violated the rules again!

The firefighters and fire chiefs were beginning to feel insecure...

The officers, who were not particularly interested in seeking personal gain, did not pay much attention to such trivial matters.

Even though some of the fire soldiers were their own descendants, they were separated by countless bloodlines, so why would they care?

Not to mention that Kyosuke Kosaka is clearly in even greater power than before.

Those who kept a close eye on court affairs knew long ago that the Taoist priest had recently begun vying for the position of Grand Chancellor.

Kyosuke Kosaka, who was appointed by the Daoist as the assistant to the chief of inspection and punishment, was clearly an vassal of the Daoist.

Who would have the guts to argue with Kyosuke Kosaka over a mere few firemen?

noon.

Kyosuke Kosaka returned to his residence.

Upon returning, he spoke with Fujiwara Kaori about Fuji Shikibu, and then went to prepare to collect Yin and Yang energies.

Kyoto is teeming with ghosts and spirits, and its atmosphere is filled with an eerie, malevolent energy.

There is an abundance of yang energy between heaven and earth.

It's not difficult to collect both using an array.

“I’ve heard of formations before, but many of them were lost when the tribe migrated here,” Su Chang said with a sigh.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you, and there are others too."

"Isn't it true that you can't learn without spiritual power?"

"Your requirements are a bit high. I have some with lower requirements. Shizuko and Eru, you both want to learn, right?"

"Ah...is this okay?"

"That's not quite appropriate."
