Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1264

Among them, Nozomi Tojo noticed that whenever these people encountered trouble, there was always a mysterious boy watching the show.

That amused expression was deeply imprinted in Nozomi Tojo's mind...

She could hardly forget it for the rest of her life.

In the days that followed, Tojo Nozomi wanted to pay attention to this boy.

But he found himself having to transfer to another school because of his parents' job relocation.

Even so, Nozomi Tojo was still very grateful to the mysterious boy who seemed to have helped her.

At least in her view, whenever those girls encountered various troubles, the boy always appeared at the right time, which made it hard for Tojo Nozomi not to feel that the boy was helping her.

"Mmm..."

A faint, indistinct sound appeared beside my ear.

Not long after sitting down, Nozomi Tojo noticed that her companions, including Honoka, Rin Hoshizora, and Hanayo Koizumi, were eating rice balls.

Hmm... this rice ball is way too big, isn't it?

How come it's so many times bigger than her fist?

Is it really okay to sit down and start eating right away?

Even though they understood that the at least thirty large rice balls in front of them were probably given to them by Kyosuke Kosaka as a special treat...

Immediately, Tojo Nozomi noticed out of the corner of her eye that Kousaka Kyosuke and the others were eating.

She was completely speechless again.

On the field.

After finishing his second large rice ball, the God of Fate suddenly spoke.

"By the way, why is everyone here today?"

"I found some information, inquired about it, and then accidentally started playing a maze game."

"I feel like I probably can't play this game too often."

"You have a point."

Kyosuke Kosaka and the Goddess of Marriage engage in an encrypted conversation.

Although the God of Fate is indeed a bit silly on ordinary days, he won't let you down when it really matters.

At least they won't interrupt when discussing serious matters.

"So, you've finished farming?"

"It's all settled now. Everything that needed to be done has been done."

"Hey, what kind of attitude is this? I abandoned my dignity for you back then!"

"Don't say things that could lead to misunderstandings..."

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless.

In modern times, he would probably be seen as a gigolo.

"Fine," the God of Fate said casually, "I've seen through you. You always treat me unfairly, always there when you need me, and always backing away when you don't..."

“I built a shrine for you before, and now I regularly offer a certain amount of food to the shrine.”

"If Zhuiyue gets a share, I should get a share too. Isn't that normal?"

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but lean back. Where did this twisted logic come from?

"—?!" The Moon Chaser God, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, was even more bewildered.

What does it have to do with her?

"What you said makes a good point."

Seeing the Goddess of Fate's matter-of-fact expression, Kyosuke Kousaka could only agree with her reasoning.

You can't speak ill of the God of Fate in front of people you don't know very well.

Kasumigaoka was completely helpless.

"Lord of the Bonds, don't you really know the relationship between Lord of the Moon and Lord Kyosuke?"

Forget it, I shouldn't dwell on this kind of thing.

Let's just pretend we don't know.

Some time passed.

Kousaka Kyosuke then bid farewell to Enmusubi and Kasumigaoka, and left with his entourage.

When Enmusubi saw Kousaka Kyosuke leave, he also left with Kasumigaoka.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to greet the singers, including Nozomi Tojo and Honoka.

"If you have time, you can visit the shrine next door. The gods there will bless you and help you find a good husband~"

The Goddess of Fate waved her little hand and turned to leave without saying another word.

Kasumigaoka silently followed behind Enmusubi, clutching tightly the letter that Kousaka Kyosuke had given her before he left.

My right ear is a little hot and red...

She never expected that Kyosuke Kosaka would hand her the letter directly in front of everyone.

That's incredibly daring!

She then noticed that apart from Yamausagi, who was not very familiar with her and had just become Kousaka Kyosuke's shikigami, and had a puzzled expression, everyone else seemed to be indifferent, which made her start to have other thoughts.

Perhaps, Kyosuke Kousaka never intended to hide his relationship with her...

Call ~

Seeing everyone leave, Honoka finally spoke:

"I'm so nervous."

Nishikino Maki's eye twitched: "I can't tell how nervous you are."

The way Honoka ate just now, so neat and decisive, didn't seem like she was nervous at all.

"Is Maki talking about eating?" Rin Hoshizora chimed in. "Actually, she's just using food to relieve tension, meow~"

Koizumi Hanayo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."

Honoka nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

Xuehui was utterly helpless when she heard her sister say that.

"It feels like Kyosuke-sama has been trying his best to consider things for us."

"what?"

"Sister, you really didn't notice at all?"

Xuehui started to have a headache.

Kyosuke Kousaka's actions were quite obvious.

So, the older sister didn't even notice this?

Continuing down this muddled path is very bad...

Sonoda Umi's eyelids twitched even more:

"Honoka... Haven't you noticed why Kyosuke-sama is deliberately not talking to us?"

Honoka: "Hey, isn't it normal that they don't talk to us since we're so lowly?"

"That's not how it is. Kyosuke-sama probably thought we would be reserved, so he deliberately didn't say anything. Otherwise, he would have given some comments on the song no matter what."

"Isn't it because our songs didn't satisfy him?"

"If that's the case, why didn't Lord Kinnara say anything after we finished singing? Why did he only praise us when he left?"

Sonoda Umi had no choice but to explain the situation to Honoka.

It would be truly shameful to be unaware of someone's kindness.

“There are many aspects that can be seen from the analysis,” said Eli Ayase. “At the beginning, we sang in a place a little further away so that everyone wouldn’t be too shy.”

"After speaking to us, they silently drank tea and ate. Although they seemed to treat us like air after we sat down, as if we had no right to speak, we were the ones who should have felt uneasy if they had actually spoken to us..."

Eli Ayase spoke at length in a well-organized manner.

Sonoda Umi, who had been looking serious, was stunned. "There were so many details?"

Tojo Nozomi tilted her head, thinking, "Perhaps that's how it is?"

The others who listened to Ayase Eli's explanation were both astonished and deeply grateful.

After Ayase Eli finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

After listening to Ayase Eli's explanation, the Moon God, who had pretended to leave and then returned, sat beside his own statue, his face blank.

"Is that how it is? It seems... it seems that way..."
