Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Yay!" Su Chang cheered.

"I feel a little ashamed."

Nina glanced at Su Chang, embarrassed, and told the truth.

Kyosuke Kosaka said seriously, "Shame means you need training."

"Watch out, Kyosuke-sama is starting to spout nonsense..."

Shizuko kindly reminded him.

Yukino then asked, "Then, Kyosuke-sama, aren't you ashamed?"

Kyosuke Kousaka: "This means you need to hug me a few more times. It seems you've already grasped the true meaning of love, Yukino—and Kagura, Miku... Great! You're all great!"

Xue No: “…”

Kagura: "I will try my best."

Miku: "Me too, I'll try my best."

Shizuko rolled her eyes. "Kyosuke-sama, you just take advantage of the fact that Lady Kagura and Miku don't easily show their emotions..."

Shizuko stopped complaining.

Too much criticism is just nitpicking, and she won't do that.

Day 422 of crossing

A refreshed Kyosuke Kousaka, along with the energetic Kagura, Shizuko, and Chitanda, continued their research.

If a fixed variety of corn has not been successfully developed, then high yields cannot be specifically determined, which is definitely not acceptable.

If you're going to do something, you have to do it to the best of your ability.

So, keep up the good work.

I imagine Seimei and Minamoto no Yorimitsu must be having a tough time; he needs to do his best to provide logistical support!

"Good morning, Nino and Miku, you both look beautiful today."

After strolling along the river for a short while, Nino and Miku ran into Princess Goldfish, who seemed to be taking a walk as well.

“Yes,” Nino said, trying to sound calm, “I slept quite comfortably yesterday.”

"Yes."

Miku remained calm.

She was truly calm, because she had always been composed.

There are times when composure is not present.

For example, I was very happy last night...

"Really?" Princess Goldfish said enviously, "I didn't expect that sleeping for just one night would have such an effect. Oh right, don't you usually live in Kyoto? Oh, I see, it's because you sleep better here."

"Yes."

Nino responded again, nearly breaking out in a cold sweat.

She felt a great sense of guilt for lying to Princess Goldfish, such a pure girl.

However, this absolutely does not mean you can just tell the truth casually.

Otherwise, things would be very bad.

"Is Princess Goldfish going to the manor?" Miku suddenly asked Princess Goldfish.

Princess Goldfish shook her head: "No, these days there have been quite a few wandering monsters passing by from other places, so I volunteered to take on the patrol job."

"Are monsters in other places facing a disaster? That must be big news."

Miku seemed to be deep in thought.

Princess Goldfish: "No, it wasn't exactly a disaster. Before, during the ancestral festival, there was actually a huge force that absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the area centered around Kyoto that night."

"But perhaps because Kyoto and its surrounding areas have powerful arrays that fix spiritual veins, that power can only draw spiritual energy from other places, and then..."

"So that's how it is." Nino was completely dumbfounded when she heard this inside story.

So it turns out the reason the monsters are wandering around is because of Kyoto.

Miku pondered for a moment: "There's really nothing we can do to help with this kind of thing."

In fact, she had realized long ago that Kyoto was the most prosperous and powerful capital of the country because it relied on the support of various provinces.

As the most important location in the country, it naturally needs to be heavily protected.

Therefore, sacrificing other places is perfectly acceptable for those in power.

"It's all the fault of some big bad guys. You don't need to worry about it too much. You should know that Kyoto is the most important place for mankind. If something goes wrong, it will cause huge turmoil."

"Impressive, Princess Goldfish, your strategic abilities are truly remarkable."

"Hmph, is that even a question? I'm a warrior who can lead all the people of Arakawa into battle at any time!"

Princess Goldfish said proudly.

After speaking, realizing that her smugness had made her lose some composure, Princess Goldfish coughed again.

"Then I'll continue my patrol."

Please drive carefully.

"come on."

Nino bids farewell with concern, while Miku earnestly offers encouragement.

"Goodbye~"

Princess Goldfish waved her little fan and walked away with her short legs.

Nino watched her leave, and finally couldn't help but say, "It feels a little off..."

Miku looked very serious.

"Nino, you still don't understand. It's precisely because of this childlike appearance that people are easily careless, and then you can take the opportunity to defeat the enemy!"

"Well, what you said makes some sense."

Nino was too lazy to argue.

When it comes to matters related to war and struggle, Miku becomes very serious.

Why should she waste her energy refuting?

Now, she should be even more grateful that the initial topic has been ignored.

Otherwise, continuing to lie would be really painful.

Some people understand Nino's dilemma very well at this moment.

Yukino.

She was being subtly observed by Yui Yuigahama, Iroha Isshiki, Suzune Horikita, and Fuka Kiryuin.

She longed to go back, but she knew that even if she wanted to, it would have to be at night.

But Yukino doesn't want to go back yet.

Kyosuke Kosaka is busy researching corn seeds and only has a moment to relax during dinner time in the evening.

Yukino didn't want him to continue worrying about other issues.

Furthermore, Nino and Miku are the most familiar with cooking, and Susho can only make a limited number of dishes. Miku still needs to practice her cooking skills more.

Chitanda is a very good cook and knows a lot, but she couldn't continue working after a busy day.

Therefore, Nino and Yukino are in charge of cooking.

Working together, the two quickly prepared the fresh dish, allowing Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura, and the others who had worked hard all day to enjoy the fresh food and feel comfortable. There was nothing wrong with that.

"The weather's a bit gloomy, it's better to stay inside today..."

"Yes, yes, it might rain."

Yui Yuigahama and Iroha Isshiki chatted amongst themselves, pretending not to notice anything.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka didn't talk much, just like usual.

They all maintained this tacit understanding and didn't mention Yukino's expression.

"I can't help but marvel at that healthy complexion every time I see it. Could it be some kind of magical spell? I remember a certain religion has some amazing spells called... what was it again?"

Kiryuin Fuka has a very active mind.

Since she began practicing martial arts, she has become increasingly tolerant of her strong-willed nature.

But secretly he's quite gossipy.

My innermost thoughts often flow endlessly.

Especially when it comes to Kyosuke Kousaka, the man who is basically confirmed to be her husband, her heart is filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.

Previously, Kiryuin Fuka looked down on women who were called "love-obsessed".

Now, she does understand it a little.
