Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 767

Although she didn't know the details, she could clearly feel a warm current traveling from her lower abdomen to her heart.

Although it was very itchy and uncomfortable, she wasn't so badly upset that she couldn't bear the discomfort.

Compared to the sudden onset of excruciating pain, suffocation, and blackout, as if one is about to leave the world at any moment.

This kind of feeling isn't too painful; it's just a minor one.

To be honest, she originally thought she would be leaving in a few years.

Furthermore, it is estimated that the pain will worsen over the next few years due to the lack of medication.

Then, because of a joke-like bet, he got what he wanted.

It's like a dream.

That's already very good.

Sakayanagi Arisu dared not ask for anything more.

"I see. Then let's keep going, there's still a while..."

Kyosuke Kosaka vaguely mentioned the time and glanced at Kagura.

Kagura understood and, under Sakayanagi Arisu's slightly bewildered gaze, reached out and took her hands in his.

"Your hands are a little cold, let me warm them up for you."

"Lady Kagura..."

“It’s alright,” Kagura said to Sakayanagi Arisu.

Her small face didn't show much emotion, but her gaze was exceptionally gentle.

Sakayanagi Arisu felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you."

Kagura smiled faintly and said nothing more.

She couldn't help but glance at Sakayanagi Arisu's lower abdomen, thinking to herself, "Maybe my stomach is a bit softer..."

Her husband loved to touch her belly and often held her in his arms.

Komachi is the same.

Her husband treated them like children, but Kagura didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Now that she sees that Sakayanagi Arisu is about the same height and build as her, Kagura is more concerned about whether she will be replaced.

She still longed for her husband to continue holding her like that.

Sometimes I feel that physical development isn't a big deal, as long as I'm small enough to be easily hugged by my husband, that's fine.

With her eyes slightly narrowed as if taking a nap, Sakayanagi Arisu vaguely sensed Kagura's indistinct gaze and secretly thought something was wrong.

"Is Lady Kagura jealous? Judging from what Kyosuke-sama said, he needs to undergo treatment for quite some time..."

Sakayanagi Arisu was a little worried.

She could easily sense Kagura's kind nature from the moment they met.

However, no matter how kind a woman is, she is very likely to change her original personality when it comes to her man.

How could Sakayanagi Arisu not panic?

In fact, Sakayanagi Arisu was overthinking things; everything was still based on Kousaka Kyosuke's behavior.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't have many thoughts about Arisu Sakayanagi, the "patient."

It's certain that Sakayanagi Arisu's belly is as soft as Kagura's and Komachi's.

Komachi often talks about her strengths, namely her flexibility.

Kyosuke Kosaka also frequently went to investigate carefully, and then found that this was indeed the case.

Kagura is also in this situation.

This is fantastic.

"After Arisu recovers, let her try getting involved in the camera industry. I wonder how much money she can make in this industry..."

Kyosuke Kosaka began to secretly ponder other questions.

The situation with the Sea Kingdom probably won't happen so soon; they're likely still preparing how to safely resolve the situation in Kyoto.

Ultimately, Kyoto is the main base of humanity on this land, and it has the most Onmyoji (yin-yang masters).

If the Sea Kingdom intends to occupy this place, then it must defeat it in one fell swoop, rather than thinking about how to wage a protracted war and make its disadvantages more and more obvious.

War is either about offense or defense.

If they feel that the Sea Kingdom is very powerful, Kyoto will definitely think about defending first and seeing how the situation is.

Meanwhile, the entire kingdom of Haiguo was attacking, so naturally, the people of Kyoto wouldn't be allowed to assess the situation; the goal was to achieve a swift victory.

Kyosuke Kosaka, on the other hand, believes that taking things slowly is perfectly fine.

By delaying for a while, the maritime kingdom will become anxious and its pace will become chaotic, making it easier to formulate strategic plans.

Of course, he was just talking theory without any real knowledge.

How to fight should be decided by the Emperor, court nobles and other high-ranking officials.

Generally speaking, the Emperor would entrust the task to the Genji clan, and the other nobles would not have much of an opinion.

In this respect, Kyosuke Kosaka was glad that the regent was the Taoist priest.

If someone else had been directing the Genji's actions, Kyoto would probably have truly fallen into the sea.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Kyosuke Kosaka was still pondering how much quick money could be made in the camera industry.

Yes, quick money.

Once the novelty wears off for the nobles, perhaps no one will buy it anymore.

In short, the key is to quickly make a fortune by selling cameras of all three price ranges (low, medium, and high) to stockpile food and iron.

When money runs out and they can't make much from cameras anymore, they'll start thinking about other products and make a quick buck.

While sustainable development is important, the question remains whether Orochi would allow it.

Making quick money is exactly what Kyosuke Kousaka wants.

About 15 minutes passed.

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly released his hand and smiled at Arisu Sakayanagi: "I'll come back to treat you again in a while. In the meantime, you can continue as usual."

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke."

Sakayanagi Arisu, who had been lying down, immediately said that she wanted to sit up and bow, but was stopped by Kosaka Kyosuke raising his hand.

Then, with Kagura still warming his little hands, Kousaka Kyosuke felt something was missing, so he simply took out a small brocade blanket from his space and covered Sakayanagi Arisu with it.

"Rest for another half an hour, then you can go back."

"...Yes, Kyosuke-sama."

Experiencing firsthand the treatment expected of a modern patient, Sakayanagi Arisu was completely bewildered.

It took almost a year to adapt to the customs and etiquette of the Heian period, a time of gods and demons, only to encounter something beyond my comprehension in a single day.

Isn't this too sudden?

Kyosuke Kosaka is too lazy to put on an act.

Aside from having to behave in accordance with aristocratic standards in public, they became more casual at other times.

Especially at home, a place for rest, performing so much is simply too tiring.

"Arisu, you should rest well. I'll have someone wake you up when it's time."

After some consideration about whether to stay, Kagura decided to leave.

"Lady Kagura, please take care."

As Kousaka Kyosuke walked out the door, Kagura stood up to leave as well, and Sakayanagi Arisu bowed deeply in his place.

Kagura said, "Go to sleep."

With that, she left.

Kagura, realizing that staying any longer would disturb Sakayanagi Arisu's rest, didn't say much and quickly followed behind Kousaka Kyosuke.

Watching Kagura cling to Kousaka Kyosuke like a little tail, Sakayanagi Arisu pursed her lips, wanting to laugh.

Compared to his slight impatience with the spider lily and the blue princess, Kousaka Kyosuke was noticeably gentler with Kagura.

Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but offer her heartfelt blessings to the couple.

I walked out of the north room.

Kousaka Kyosuke saw that Susou was still instructing Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka on their training.

Both women had flushed cheeks and were covered in sweat.

Kyosuke Kosaka could smell a strange scent in the air, a slightly sour smell mixed with a faint fragrance.

It's obvious that it's formed by the reaction between incense and sweat.
