Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

how to say?

She had the exact same idea as Ayase Eli from the very beginning.

However, she could not violate her position as a servant in public because of traditional concepts of chastity.

Otherwise, she and her companions will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

It wasn't because of Kyosuke Kousaka, but because he couldn't see his own place or identity clearly.

"Lord Kyosuke must be surrounded by many retainers. If one day he sees us courtesans not following the rules, he certainly won't tolerate us..."

That's what Nozomi Tojo thought.

Not all historical dramas on television feature scenes of retainers kneeling down and earnestly pleading with their lord to give serious consideration.

If those who are treated so well don't know what's good for them, they might get a severe beating from their retainers.

Maybe?

It doesn't matter if it's not.

Ultimately, all they were supposed to do was fulfill their responsibilities.

"Xiao Xi, you're clearly doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Nico Yazawa rolled her eyes.

"Oh dear," Nozomi Tojo glanced at the sky outside, "it's almost time for a bath, everyone hurry up and get everything ready~"

"Yes……"

Others responded one after another.

Lianhua glanced at it but didn't pay much attention, continuing to talk and communicate with Menreiki from time to time.

The most talked-about topic was Kousaka Kyosuke.

She wanted to find out more about Kyosuke Kousaka.

In this way, their future union will be very secure.

Day 443 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka continued on to Renka's residence.

The two who followed were still Kagura and Kinnara.

The purpose is related to the newly built house next to the residences of Renka and Menreiki.

That is, the residence of the nine songstresses.

Today marks the initial completion of the project. All that's needed is to take a look at the areas that require modification and have the craftsmen make the necessary corrections before it's fully finished.

As for whether it's too fast?

It's actually not that fast.

Because this is simply a renovation and alteration of the existing old house, it is a familiar task for the craftsmen.

Not to mention that some artisans with special skills can also use simple spells to speed up the process.

Therefore, it is understandable that the problem was resolved in less than half a month.

On the contrary, newly built mansions are more troublesome.

The problem lies in Kyoto's overall planning—for example, Takashina Shingoku was too fixated on the neat arrangement of public spaces, resulting in a bunch of shoddy construction projects.

Speaking of which, Kyosuke Kosaka hasn't seen this guy around these days.

Kousaka Kyosuke had previously heard Fujiwara Michitsuna briefly mention that something about a secret dispute over fertilizer had been dealt with somehow...

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't ask in detail.

I only felt sympathy for this brother of Yizhou's mother.

"Xinyi, in the end, you bore it all alone."

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed deeply.

"How's the house?"

"Oh, Kyosuke-sama, that's wonderful!"

After looking around excitedly, Honoka accidentally swayed to one side.

Kyosuke Kosaka instinctively moved over and reached out to help.

Be careful.

"elder brother……"

Honoka, who was staring blankly, couldn't help but call out.

Kyosuke Kousaka paused for a moment, then released Honoka and patted her head with a smile.

"I'm so happy to have a sister like you."

Finally, I have a real sister by my side...

"—Ah?! I'm sorry! Kyosuke-sama!"

Honoka, quickly regaining her senses, apologized.

To suddenly address a nobleman as one's elder brother is clearly overstepping one's bounds.

Will he have to commit seppuku?

If that's the case, please don't involve other people!

"I feel a connection with you, so it's okay if you call me 'brother' in private."

Kyosuke Kousaka patted Honoka's head again, then smiled and let go, continuing to walk towards Kagura and the others.

At the moment, it is not convenient for him to acknowledge Honoka as his relative.

However, this does not mean that he cannot use "getting along well" as an excuse to become familiar with her and then gradually improve her situation.

“Brother, I can call you that too.”

Lianhua reacted quickly and immediately changed her tune.

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately gave her a light chop to the neck.

"Don't be a shrewd scholar."

"They're so hard to please."

Lianhua turned her face away again, pouting, looking sullen.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and, as usual, patted his head to comfort him.

"Changing the way you address someone is indeed a very interesting thing." Suddenly, Menreiki showed a look of realization.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't resist and also delivered a chop to Menreiki's hand.

"Your thinking is dangerous; I hope you will correct it."

“Wait a minute, Kyosuke,” Kinara said with great interest, “wouldn’t it be fun to change the way you address him every now and then, like ‘Kyosuke-sama~’, ‘Kyosuke-san~’, or ‘Hey~’?”

Upon hearing this, Kagura seemed to become quite interested as well.

No, they're already itching to try.

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless. "Are you playing role-playing games here?"

Also, why is this "Hey~" greeting so expressive?

He strongly suspected that Kinnara's thoughts had also become quite dangerous.

Lianhua was very curious: "Who would address their brother like that?"

"Sigh, don't ruin the term 'older brother'."

Kousaka Kyosuke reminded depressedly.

The other songstresses who had come to see the new mansion were somewhat taken aback.

Especially the person involved, Honoka.

She had unconsciously started calling him that because she was thinking of her brother.

Little did she know that things would develop in a way that was completely unexpected.

"Ah this..."

Sonoda Umi, who had come to Honoka's side intending to comfort her, had her mouth slightly open and looked completely bewildered.

She was stunned after hearing the words of Lianhua, Menreiki, Kinnara and the others.

Some things that she couldn't understand at once were severely impacting her worldview and values.

The same is true for some other people.
