Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 752

Even though Kikyo Kushida and her friend Honami Ichinose also live here with their families, the location is rather remote and their status is relatively low, so it would be better to mention them later.

To be honest, it's pretty good to be able to live here; don't think too much about anything else.

However, Kikyo Kushida couldn't help but think of how her classmate Suzune Horikita had been being taken around by Haruno these past few days.

It looks like it's a handover of management power.

This at least illustrates some of the attitudes of "those above".

These days, Kikyo Kushida has guessed her and Honami Ichinose's situation, probably because the head of the family is taking care of them out of respect for their former master, Yukinari Fujiwara.

I don't know what will happen next, but it probably won't be too bad, right?

That's the only way I can think of it.

Being diligent and conscientious is never wrong.

The Goto family, who had just moved in and were learning about the situation, were still quite reserved.

Seeing a place as big as a city park, they almost got lost.

Just one glance is enough to make it clear that the living environment here is almost no different from that of modern times.

Neat, clean, and impressive... the environment is so much better than the tribal area we lived in before!

“That’s Lord Qinglong’s residence; he lives alone. That’s Lord Aba’s residence; he lives there with his wives and concubines…”

As Kikyo Kushida spoke slowly, several people came out of Hikigaya's house.

One of the women, a woman with a gentle demeanor, stepped forward.

"Kikyo."

"Xun, this is the newly arrived Naoki-sama."

Kikyo Kushida quickly offered an explanation.

Xun smiled and bowed: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Lord Aba's concubine."

"Nice to meet you..."

Naoki Goto returned the greeting with exceptional politeness.

He was just an ordinary staff member in the Procuratorate handling miscellaneous tasks.

From the perspective of the modern workplace, he was just a temporary employee of a company, and could not be compared with a high-ranking official of the Outer Guard Prefecture.

Even the concubines of high-ranking officials were of higher status than him.

Naoki Goto's wife and daughters behind him were all very politely mimicking his movements.

The Shiba Inu held in Goto Jiri's arms was very obedient, sticking out its tongue and not making a sound.

Is it Goto Ichiri herself? Her movements are incredibly stiff.

It is understood that this is a necessary courtesy, and naturally it cannot be disobeyed.

Otherwise, causing trouble for my father would be an unforgivable sin.

After a brief introduction, they parted ways.

Ultimately, it was time to move, so there wasn't much time to chat.

Goto Ichiri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My parents both said this place is very safe, the environment is good, and the people are nice, and it really is."

"If that's the case, I could probably stay at home forever..."

I was actually quite satisfied with my previous home, Goto Ichiri.

But after my father started working in the public security department these past few days, a group of strangers have been visiting him every day.

Some women even tried to barge into her room, saying they wanted to arrange marriages for her, which almost made Goto Ichiri scream in fright.

It's horrible!

Fortunately, her mother cleverly stopped her, otherwise she might have died on the spot that day.

Yesterday, her parents, her sister, and she packed their luggage very carefully, afraid that others would find out.

This morning, someone brought a cart to help carry the luggage. The expressions and looks of those people who wanted to marry into her family were terrifying!

I'm so scared, I'm really scared to death...

While Goto Ichiri was lost in thought, Kushida Kikyo finally led the family to their place of residence.

It was a house that was very antique in both appearance and interior, just like the kind of house where a large family lives, as seen on TV.

Well, actually all the rooms I saw earlier were like that; it seems they all follow the same format.

"Then I'll take my leave now," Kikyo Kushida said to Michiyo with a smile.

Along the way, she gradually shifted her focus to talking to Goto Naoki's wife.

Kikyo Kushida originally wanted to talk to Naoki Goto's eldest daughter, but seeing her daughter's long bangs, slightly hunched back, and gloomy demeanor, she knew it was better not to cause trouble.

Kikyo Kushida has seen far too many people like this.

The bottom class of every class consists of this type of person.

However, Kikyo Kushida did not underestimate her.

Knowing that Goto Naoki had been taken in as a vassal by Kousaka Kyosuke, she understood that this person, who was not yet a nobleman, would surely have a higher status than her in the future.

Just like Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, Horikita Manabu, and others.

Of course, Kikyo Kushida wasn't overly envious or jealous.

She understood perfectly.

Anyone who can work under Kyosuke Kosaka must have a special skill.

For example, Horikita Suzune, whom I know quite well, is said to have had her brother kill many monsters and villains.

Not only must they exterminate the enemy, but they must also eliminate the humans themselves. This is undoubtedly a huge test of their mental strength.

The saying "you have to give to receive" illustrates this principle.

With mixed feelings, Kikyo Kushida parted ways with the Goto family.

Naoki Goto led his wife and daughter into the clean and spacious house, feeling as if he had returned to the scene when he and his wife moved into their new house after their marriage.

"Jimmy, let's go!" Goto Jiri wasn't shy at all; he put down the dog and started adventuring in all directions.

Goto Ichiri cautiously stepped into the house, searching for a familiar place to stay.

As long as it's a secluded, dark, and quiet place where people can't find her, that's fine.

"If only we had a computer, we could talk to Kyosuke about moving..."

Goto Ichiri felt a little lost.

Without a computer and the internet, she could no longer easily communicate with other people.

Let's avoid face-to-face communication...

She's so withdrawn; after coming into this world, she'll be even less willing to talk to strangers, only bringing shame to her family.

It seems that this world places great importance on saving face, and I should always stay away from it.

In short, Goto Ichiri decided on the same strategy as before—staying home!

As long as I don't go out, I won't embarrass my family!

Night time.

Kyosuke Kousaka was a little tired after visiting the homes of Fujishikibu's older brother and father.

Since you're tired, you should definitely take a good rest.

Originally, Kyosuke Kosaka only planned to accompany Shikibu Fuji, but Shikibu Fuji wanted Kaori to come along as well.

Kyosuke Kosaka, of course, had no objections.

The two had a good relationship and there were no problems with their collaboration.

No, Xiangzi is very skilled and gets along well with everyone.

"Wait a minute, it's a bit dry..."

With her hair disheveled and her face beautiful, Xiangzi opened her mouth slightly first.

As Kousaka Kyosuke gazed at those lustrous, full lips, revealing glimpses of neat, white teeth and a delicate, delicate tongue, his heart began to race.

Xiangzi was the boldest one.

It seems that Xiangzi has accomplished everything that I used to see in art films.

Furthermore, couples often seem to disregard certain positions.

However, for some partners who are more shy, Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't have any special requirements.

Ultimately, it's about communication between hearts; there's no need to be so domineering.

To disregard the feelings of others and completely unleash one's desires simply because it is a feudal era is truly arrogant.

"How are you? Want to take a break?"
