Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Not only can you enjoy hot rice, but you can also experience the special cooking methods associated with it.

This is amazing to her!

The fact that Shiranui came to visit wasn't that surprising.

She had eaten dishes made by Kyosuke Kosaka and Susho before.

Since I occasionally visit the manor, I naturally get to taste it.

"Hey! You didn't invite me to the banquet?"

Suddenly, a vibrant voice drew the attention of everyone else.

Then, a girl dressed mainly in pink and red, with long black hair decorated with many red threads, walked over.

Behind him followed a dignified woman dressed in plain clothes.

The woman's serene expression conveyed a sense of peace and tranquility, making people feel incredibly comfortable and at ease.

Kyosuke Kosaka sometimes finds it hard to believe that this woman is Kasumigaoka.

I have to say, I can hardly believe that this is the same Kasumigaoka I saw back then, so carefree and unrestrained.

It seems that spending time with the spirit of marriage has made her more serene.

"It was just a dinner party."

Kyosuke Kousaka, whose mind had been racing for a moment, said casually.

The God of Fate snorted: "Isn't a gathering just a banquet? Stop making excuses."

"Then, quickly prepare a large meal for Lady Enmusubi."

Kyosuke Kosaka gave instructions to Chitanda, Susa, Nijika, and the others who were still preparing food in the open-air kitchen.

"Yes!" the three "cooks" replied in unison.

The God of Fate sneered.

"Am I being a tyrant? And besides, there's no need to emphasize the large portion. I'm a lady, after all. Why would a lady eat a large portion of food?"

"If you go hungry for a few days, even the most virtuous gentleman or lady will turn into a starving ghost."

"I can't continue talking to you, or my soul will be corrupted."

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke was silent.

He always felt that the words of the God of Fate had a special flavor.

Seeing Kasumigaoka bow apologetically in silence, Kousaka Kyosuke realized there was a reason why Kasumigaoka had become so quiet in such a short time.

"If Utaha were as carefree as Enmusubi, she'd be unbelievable."

After making a comment, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't bother to pay any more attention to Enmusubi.

The God of Fate found a seat and sat down quite naturally, so there was no need for him to make any special arrangements.

Shiranui, who came to visit, was also very familiar with him and chatted with Kinnara, whom she had just met.

Kyosuke Kosaka was very curious about what the two were talking about.

But we shouldn't be too curious about this.

Listening to girls' conversations without permission will make them unhappy.

Even if you just concentrate, you can hear it easily.

Meanwhile, Kinara, who was some distance away from Kousaka Kyosuke, and Shiranui didn't talk about anything.

"Shiranui, aren't you bored living on that ruined island?"

"I sometimes get bored like this, so I came here."

"Why don't you just stay here? Wouldn't it be fun to hang out with everyone every day?"

Kinnara advised.

After becoming Kousaka Kyosuke's shikigami, she realized just how terrifying her previous life of solitude had been.

Therefore, she does not want anyone she knows to end up in the same situation as her.

"I already have a place to live here..."

Shiranui hesitated for a moment before speaking.

In fact, she and Kyosuke Kosaka had already essentially established a relationship.

However, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood," Kinnara said apologetically.

She thought Shiranui lived alone on the island.

I never imagined that he just liked living in different places.

"It's alright, you meant well, and it's obvious you're living a good life."

"Yes, there are so many interesting things in the world. Like how to grow fruits and vegetables to make them taste better, and the incredibly complex process of making musical instruments..."

Kinnara then spoke with renewed enthusiasm.

She was already quite happy living in Itsukushima.

But after arriving in Kyoto and following Kyosuke Kosaka to his residence, he discovered that life could be so colorful.

It wasn't just about food, drink, shelter, and transportation; it also broadened her horizons considerably by introducing her to some rigorous and fascinating knowledge.

If it weren't for the belief that Kousaka Kyosuke lacked fighting prowess, Kinara would probably prefer to farm, trying to create beautiful and useful items like musical instruments, clothes, and jewelry...

In contrast to Kinnara's enthusiastic speech, the courtyard was very quiet.

Perhaps because she looked young, Kyosuke Kosaka specifically placed her next to him to take care of her.

"Have some soup first."

The food preparation would take some time, so Kousaka Kyosuke specially asked Chitanda to bring over a bowl of soup for Tenjo-shita to drink.

Even though I know that the person under the ceiling must be an adult, I still take extra care of them.

This is considered an old tradition.

“Thank you, Lord Kyosuke,” Tenjo-shita said softly.

Being taken care of so well, yet feeling like she was doing nothing, inevitably made her somewhat uneasy.

"No need to be so polite, just a simple response or a nod will suffice."

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but pat the head under the ceiling again.

He can't help but feel a protective instinct towards young children.

Unfortunately, after starting with Komachi and Kagura, he stumbled halfway through his career.

Fortunately, there's absolutely no problem under the courtyard.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who considers himself to have at least some integrity, is full of confidence!

Suddenly, he felt a furtive gaze sweeping over him.

He immediately realized who the person looking at him was.

It's pochi sauce.

"With so many people around, if I try to strike up a conversation with Pochi-chan, it'll only make her so nervous she won't be able to say anything, right?"

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

He clearly understood what kind of personality Boqi was, and he was still careful about how he treated Boqi.

After all, back in modern times, he was still thinking about borrowing money from Boqi-chan when he was short of cash.

Given Boqi's personality, even if you quietly remind him to pay back the money, he can just laugh it off.

Alas, unfortunately, the path to borrowing money became an indefinite and uncertain one after the time travel.

Then, they also had to openly and secretly help Boqi-chan, who was reluctantly participating in social interactions, to maintain her mindset.

It seems quite troublesome.

But then he suddenly realized that Boqi-chan's situation was probably partly his fault, so he should really "atone" for it.

It's afternoon now.

The group had already finished eating and were each doing their own thing.

As in the morning, Kyosuke Kosaka, along with Kagura, Shizuko, and Chitanda, were working on corn.

"So it turns out that Lord Kyosuke went to study seeds."

Having understood what was going on, Shiranui could not hide her admiration for Kousaka Kyosuke.

"As expected of Lord Kyosuke, while maintaining order in and around Kyoto, he has never forgotten other people and yokai..."

Shiranui firmly believed this.

Kyosuke Kousaka is working hard for the sake of others.
