Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1192

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

"It's nothing to me, I'm just a little embarrassed to trouble you to come along."

"I'm not too comfortable letting you go alone."

Ayanokouji pondered.

He still vividly remembered the time when Yan'an's son, Yunying, forcibly offered gifts and took advantage of the situation.

Therefore, he strongly doubted that Hachiman was able to withstand Cloudhawk's various tricks.

"Sigh... You underestimate me too much. Even if I face things I don't want to face alone, I will still deal with them rationally, so as not to cause trouble for the head of the family."

Hikigaya bluntly stated his opinion.

In his heart, he continued, "I don't want to lose points with Komachi, my father, or my mother."

Even though she knew that Kyosuke Kosaka wouldn't care about such things, she couldn't afford to take any chances.

In short.

The right thing to do is to do it the way it should be!

"I'm sorry, I really underestimated you just now."

Ayanokouji is the kind of person who will admit his mistakes.

Seeing how openly and generously Hachiman spoke his mind, he suddenly felt that he was still too petty.

Hakirani remained silent for a long while before finally speaking to Ayanokouji without saying a word:

"...You'd better not say anything."

What do you mean by "just now"?

What do you mean by "underestimating"?

Hikigaya realized that Ayanokouji had absolutely no trust in him.

Ok.

Having been blackmailed by his classmates, he had no right to convince anyone that he wouldn't be soft-hearted.

It's better to let actions speak louder than words about being hard-hearted or ruthless.

And so, the two arrived at Yan'an's residence.

Yan'an's residence is located at the intersection of four main roads.

From the outside, it looks much like an ordinary nobleman's mansion.

Ayanokouji, however, knew very well.

Because of the questionable actions taken by Huang Guang, the eldest son of Yan'an, on the day he took office, this noble mansion has completely severed its connection with other noble families.

The maids and servants who usually visited and kept in touch with each other to get the latest news never stepped into this noble mansion.

There are likely many things that the imperial court and the entire aristocratic circle are unaware of.

Being isolated to this extent is truly terrifying.

At the same time, there is another thing about Ayanokouji that deserves criticism.

"Huang Guang is too ugly. I've heard people in the Outer Guard Commandery always mocking him for it, even after he's dead..."

His low appearance actually made him more "famous".

Ayanokoji was amazed by the family's luck.

"Lord Cao, Lieutenant, welcome to our arrival..."

Upon receiving the invitation, Yunying hurriedly came out to greet him and said extremely politely.

To be honest, he wouldn't mind kneeling down on the spot!

As for arrogance?

what is that?

Yunying knew absolutely nothing about it.

Having already been officially appointed as the head of the family by his father Yan'an, he was no less determined to curry favor with those in power!

However, Yunying also knew that this behavior was disgusting and would only make people feel disgusted, so he just used a metaphor.

Having already adapted to the atmosphere of Kyoto, Yunying understands the basic rules very well.

Anything related to "disgust" or "undignified" must be eliminated.

This brings us to one person.

Yellow light.

Yes, that's him!

Although Yunying really didn't want to single out and condemn his older brother who lived in the underworld with their father, he still wanted to say something.

such as.

If Huang Guang were a little more handsome and less greasy-looking, things might not have gotten so bad.

The extremely low appearance of the family aggravated the decline of the Shinomiya family.

"I am here on behalf of Lord Raihei."

"I am here on behalf of Lord Kyosuke..."

Hikigaya and Ayanokoji then introduced the figures they represented.

After receiving Shinomiya Gan'an's death poem, both Minamoto no Yorihei and Kosaka Kyosuke, who were being represented, planned to give the Shinomiya family a little help.

Otherwise, the Shinomiya family, whose presence is constantly diminishing and which has lost the support of its five head of household with official ranks, is very likely to encounter various troubles.

Those various evil spirits who seemed to have sensed an opportunity for profit did not mind using certain means to seize the interests of the Shinomiya family.

In the end, the current situation of the Shinomiya family has been figured out, and it is really easy to deal with them.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Raiping and Lord Kyosuke. Please convey my gratitude to Lord Cao and the Second Lieutenant."

Yunying tried hard to squeeze out tears, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The gesture of shedding tears was made as inconspicuous as possible.

Having already assessed his own appearance, he believes it's best not to show excessive excitement.

This might significantly increase other people's dislike for you.

When listening to his colleagues' conversations in the official residence, he did indeed occasionally praise the beauty of other nobles and officials.

"I will, don't worry."

Hikigaya took over Yunying's words, his eyelids twitching.

Seeing Yunying's "affectionate" expression, he felt a headache coming on.

So painful.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had no plans to consider Kaguya Shinomiya for the time being, was facing the Ubume who had suddenly arrived.

"I saw you asking the monsters in the market about special crops, Lord Kyosuke. This was brought by a child I adopted a long time ago. She loves going on sea adventures..."

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka listened blankly, his eyes fixed on the yellow particles in the Ubume's hand that he found very familiar.

321. Corn? /Trick question/Social butterfly

The yellow granules of some kind of fruit in front of him unusually bewildered Kousuke Kosaka.

After all, he actually knew about this.

--corn!

That's right, it's corn!

“This is a very rare plant. Let me take a look.”

Of course, he couldn't say that he knew Kousaka Kyosuke; on the surface, he only showed a slight expression of surprise.

I picked up the corn kernels from the Ubume's hand to observe them.

Ultimately, it would be too incredible to say that I knew him.

Explaining it afterward would be quite troublesome.

So, let's focus on acting first.

however.

The moment Kousaka Kyosuke touched it, he was surprised to find that the corn kernels had a faint salty taste.

Salty?
