Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Horikita Suzune frowned.

After a moment's deliberation, Kikyo Kushida finally spoke her mind.

"Since last night, Kyosuke-sama informed us about various aspects of the divorce system for couples between humans and yokai, hoping that everyone could brainstorm and formulate a more suitable system, then it wouldn't hurt for Satsuki to learn about it in advance... No, I should say that when we consult with others soon, Satsuki will also find out quickly."

Last night, Kikyo Kushida didn't expect that Kyosuke Kousaka wanted her to gather the thoughts and opinions of some disadvantaged women during her rest time after taking a bath, which was actually about divorce.

There are also many couples who divorce in this part of the manor. Generally speaking, women who should be submissive according to worldly norms are more likely to be criticized.

Kyosuke Kousaka, whose personality and thoughts are clearly different from those of ordinary men, is now planning to improve himself, and Kikyo Kushida, as a woman, has no reason not to support him.

But I was also somewhat apprehensive.

Because there are too many issues involved!

Kyosuke Kosaka said it didn't matter, he could ask anyone, as long as they were in the manor, even a great yokai or a god, he would ask them.

Kikyo Kushida had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

At the same time, she has her eye on this classmate. After all, based on what she knows, Satsuki, who has a relatively independent personality, is likely to choose to divorce.

Although Kikyo Kushida hoped this wouldn't happen, many things are beyond her control.

Therefore, it's best to handle both work and personal matters together during such times.

Considering that he might do something inappropriate, he also invited his most cautious friend, Horikita Suzune, to come over.

"...I always felt that once I got involved in this kind of thing, it would only make everything a mess, and even the people involved might have objections."

Upon hearing Kikyo Kushida's statement, Suzune Horikita sighed, a rare occurrence for her.

Kikyo Kushida clasped her hands together, in a pleading gesture.

"Don't do that. If it really doesn't work, we can ask other adults for advice. Oh, right—great demons who have lived a long time must have experience. Let's go ask them later~"

"...Who is it?"

Horikita Suzune's mind flashed back to the great yokai she would occasionally encounter.

Yoto Hime, Hakuro, Shiranui, Menreiki...

"How is Lady Aoandon?"

Kikyo Kushida gestured to the newspaper on the table.

The Mizubu-shi had been producing newspapers during the war, but sales were limited due to the scarcity of wood resources. Fortunately, after Kousaka Kyosuke went to the world of the season, production was temporarily able to be expanded.

Naturally, the price is a bit high, and it is usually purchased by several people pooling their money. If the newspaper is returned, part of the purchase price will be returned, and the returned newspaper will continue to be recycled and reused using special technology to produce new newspapers.

Let's get back to the main topic.

The newspaper's editor-in-chief was Aoandon. Before the "nothingness" polluted the world, she had been invited by Kyosuke Kosaka to work at the manor to run the newspaper.

The events published in the newspapers are generally related to the world situation, including some new rules and policies of the manor, as well as some current hot topics within the manor.

"Are you sure you don't want this to make headlines and then make things worse?"

"Lady Aoandon isn't that kind of person... She's a great demon, and she's quite friendly, besides, she's a woman too."

"Women don't necessarily have empathy for other women just because they are the same gender. Besides, from what I've seen so far, the majority of people who make things difficult for women are women themselves."

Horikita Suzune continued to speak truthfully.

At this point, someone else chimed in: "As a woman myself, I still have a lot of empathy for other women at this stage."

"—?!"

Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo stared in astonishment at the small lamp in the private room that was emitting a faint blue light.

Fortunately, Horikita Suzune reacted quickly and immediately replied, "I'm sorry, Lady Aoandon, I misspoke!"

"No, I don't think you've said anything wrong. You're just stating the issue from a realistic perspective. I really like your way of speaking because if the content I publish isn't based on reality, then it has no reason to exist. Now I also have to apologize for taking up your time."

"That's alright. I suppose Lady Aoandon has encountered something that concerns her."

"Yes, that's right. I was just walking by and happened to overhear you talking about a problem that's currently a major concern for most women."

The small lamp's blue light flickered more frequently, as if hinting that the owner's emotions were not normal.

I was taking a walk and passed by...

Both Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo have very mixed feelings.

is this real?

Let's just assume it's true for now.

"At least Lady Aoandon is willing to help. That's good news for me."

Kikyo Kushida thought to herself.

Whether it's business or personal matters, she always feels at a loss.

If there are experienced and willing partners joining us, that's definitely welcome.

the other side.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had sensed that Aoandon's presence had become stronger and that she had moved to Kushida Kikyo's side, felt very strange.

He seemed to have forgotten to explain some things to Aoandon beforehand.

"Well, I'm sure I'll get complaints later."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself, but he wasn't too worried.

Aoandon has a mature personality and doesn't have much of a temper; she can be easily coaxed and everything will be fine.

"There are so many kinds of pickled side dishes here."

Longkui, who had already finished eating, was looking at the restaurant's menu with great interest.

Having already finished the food, May, which was now being savored, suddenly became exciting again.

"This is all thanks to Lord Kyosuke! He stockpiled a lot of salt a long time ago, and it's because there's always a sufficient supply that pickled dishes can be so widely available!"

"Because salt is very important, it's normal to have a larger stockpile," Kyosuke Kousaka said with a smile.

Now that we know that the Yamata no Orochi will pollute the world, we naturally need to prepare some very basic things.

Kousaka Kyosuke is particularly concerned about food and clothing.

He doesn't need to eat to survive, but almost everyone around him needs food, not to mention having so many vassals.

Incidentally, he also made sure to profit from Ji's world, so there's no need to worry about salt reserves.

"So, humans are truly incredible creatures. Even with ample food, they can still collapse completely due to a lack of salt," Longkui exclaimed.

Even in her time, the salt and iron trade was of utmost importance to the state.

This shows the importance of salt in the world.

That remains true today.

"Yes, you have to drink some salt water after exercising to replenish your energy and feel refreshed~" Yotsuba wholeheartedly agreed.

In the modern world, she enjoys sports and therefore often drinks beverages that can quickly replenish salt.

After arriving in this era, she increasingly realized the importance of salt.

"Thanks to Kyosuke-sama's thoughtfulness, otherwise even if everyone had plenty of food now, they would probably be exhausted."

"So, is the next topic about pickles?"

Ichika smiled and continued the conversation.

Everyone has almost finished eating, so it's time to move on to the next step. We can't stay in one place for too long, or we'll waste time.

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered for a moment and said, "If you're talking about pickles, I'm reminded of Mi-chan, who's quite popular."

Mijō is the modern world's miso.

Originally a food enjoyed by nobles, miso became incredibly popular in this salty era, especially with the presence of many transmigrators in the manor.

Ultimately, in modern Japan, this is something that almost every housewife knows how to make. Just as Koreans can't live without kimchi, Japanese people can't live without miso.

"Mi-chan, I feel like I eat this every day, is it possible to taste it differently each time?"

"Lady Longkui, you are unaware of this matter~"

As if she had thought of something funny, Ichika revealed a sly smile.

Kyosuke Kosaka's lips twitched slightly, and he roughly knew what it was about.

Immediately, Ichika continued to explain: "Nino doesn't really like pickled foods, and she's not very good at making them, so she always asked other people for advice."

"Who? They seem to have a very special identity."

"She's nothing special, just a girl around our age named Erika. Her family used to run a mime business in Kyoto Port, and she knows how to make mime herself. Nino asked her for advice after hearing about it."

"So it's Chef Mi-chan. I definitely need to meet her. I've heard before that Mi-chan is gradually becoming more and more popular with the people at the Mizubu-ji..."

"We'll have to see if Erika is available."

"Indeed, it would be very impolite to disturb you so abruptly."

"Should I go ask her?" Yotsuba immediately interrupted Ichika and Longkui's conversation. "I've met Erika a few times, so I'm fairly familiar with her."

Kyosuke Kosaka asked with a smile, "Then do you know where she lives now?"
