Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Anyway, go check it out!

Thus, Kousaka Kyosuke contacted Sei Shonagon through other ladies-in-waiting.

Kousaka Kyosuke found Sei Shonagon's attire today familiar.

The bright red coat, white undershirt with green lining, and light purple shirt do not emphasize luxury or preciousness; rather, the overall look is elegant and dignified.

Sei Shonagon's beautiful smile added even more to her charm.

Kyosuke Kosaka deliberately made eye contact with him.

I noticed that Sei Shonagon's eyes were deep and bright, and very lively.

It seemed as if they were unaffected by the rumors.

This is real?

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't believe it.

"Lord Kyosuke, I knew you would come."

Upon meeting, Sei Shonagon naturally and proactively greeted everyone with a smile.

Her lips curved slightly upward, revealing a faint sweetness that made one want to get closer.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt a heaviness in his heart.

"No wonder they say the officials in the palace are all Oscar-caliber actors. This one in front of me is so convincing that even I can't easily recognize him."

"Wait a minute..."

Kyosuke Kousaka raised his hand, and suddenly, on a whim, he summoned the thread connecting him and Sei Shonagon.

The connection between the two can be summoned when necessary.

The greater the distance, the more power is required to summon it.

Fortunately, the two were very close together, so they consumed very little energy.

Of course, this is not the main point.

What Kousaka Kyosuke really wanted to do was—

"Lord Kyosuke, you..."

Sei Shonagon stared blankly at Kousaka Kyosuke, completely bewildered.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Come and feel it carefully."

"Ok?"

Sei Shonagon looked at the thread in her hand, carefully contemplating its meaning.

Suddenly, a subtle, indescribable feeling of heaviness welled up within me.

"This is out of concern for me, so I just wanted to ask, have you considered my feelings?"

Kousaka Kyosuke asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sei Shonagon was both amused and exasperated: "Is it really appropriate for a grown man like you to say such a thing?"

Previously it was "putting reality aside," but now it's about the same thing.

That's just something a girl would say to make an excuse!

"Who told you to do this? Without the help of fate, I had no idea you were in such a bad mood."

"...It's a waste of points to pry into other people's thoughts, Kyosuke-sama."

Sei Shonagon's smile vanished.

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed deeply and looked into the distance: "Nobody wanted this to happen."

Sei Shonagon: "If this continues, I'm going to get unhappy."

"No, I was wrong."

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

The girl in front of him was trying to put his mind at ease with her profound acting skills, so how could he possibly betray her feelings?

Let's focus on building up our favorability first.

"Really... what is Kyosuke-sama doing? A grown man admitting his mistake..."

Sei Shonagon turned her back.

Kyosuke Kousaka, however, could hear a faint tremor.

Without hesitation, he said, "Forget all these unhappy things, come with me, I'll farm and support you!"

"Lord Kyosuke, you are..."

Sei Shonagon was extremely conflicted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Why did she have to say that? She wanted to laugh.

331. Palace situation / Taking Sei Shonagon away / Good interpersonal relationships

Well!

Sei Shonagon, who was standing on her side, puffed out her cheeks and shook her head vigorously.

That stopped the urge to laugh.

She quickly calmed herself down and turned to look at Kyosuke Kousaka.

"Lord Kyosuke, I don't need your support anymore..."

"But the current problem is quite serious, and you need to seriously consider the situation."

Kyosuke Kosaka stopped his banter and interruptions.

"..."

Sei Shonagon lowered her head, her rosy lips slightly pursed, her gaze wandering uncertainly.

Just like a child who has done something wrong.

In Kyosuke Kosaka's eyes, this lively and vibrant flower was trembling in the breeze.

He seemed to have become a great villain.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka also has reason to be proud.

It turns out that she frightened the talented woman who was said to be very bold and even dared to sulk with the Empress's son?

This is an impressive record no matter how you look at it.

Of course.

Kyosuke Kosaka did not intend to force Sei Shonagon to do something she did not want to do.

Right now, just as I said—I hope Sei Shonagon will carefully consider her own situation.

"I understand your loyalty to Lady Teiko, but unfortunately, given her pregnancy, she is probably powerless to do so."

Seeing that Shonagon was hesitant to speak, Kousaka Kyosuke simply brought up the more important matter.

"I won't--"

Sei Shonagon reflexively looked up in response, but her expression quickly turned somber.

Having spent quite some time in the palace, she possessed exceptional political acumen.

In addition, he is also quite intelligent.

Naturally, she began to realize just how awkward her position was...

“I am certainly wrong in this regard. After all, I often correspond with you, and anyone would suspect that there is a more unspeakable secret between us.”

"Kyosuke-sama! Don't talk like that! Our relationship is completely innocent; we're just ordinary lovers. There's nothing 'hidden' between us!!"

Sei Shonagon was somewhat annoyed.

Where do you talk about yourself and your lover like that?

He kept smearing mud on his face.

Then, even as her lover, she had to "share the joys and sorrows" and smear mud on her face too?

"A romantic relationship is enough," Kousaka Kyosuke said calmly. "That's enough for people to smear and doubt us."

Sensing that Sei Shonagon was somewhat moved, he felt compelled to put in even more effort.

"The situation of the young lady is still quite precarious, and I'm not sure if Teishi will be able to give birth safely..."

For example, production failure.

Based on the gossipy nature of those women and Yi Zhou's petty-mindedness.

Sei Shonagon will definitely be considered a prime suspect!

Think even more ruthlessly.

Yi Zhou said that this opportunity might be used to severely damage the Taoist priest's prestige.
