Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 748

The matchmaker god immediately began to explain, his mouth moving like a machine gun:

"When a person dies, the threads of fate disappear from the world, but I have a way to reconnect them. Yes, everyone has the right to happiness!"

"..."

Kasumigaoka remained silent, their pupils simultaneously shifting to the other side.

Kyosuke Kosaka was speechless, feeling that he could no longer look directly at this god.

After a long pause, he finally replied, "Yes, everyone has the right to be happy."

Kasumigaoka felt a warmth in her heart and gave Kousaka Kyosuke a grateful look.

"Please come in and sit down, please!" Yuanjie Shen invited the two of them in again.

The structure, similar to that of the Oitsuki Shrine, felt very familiar to Kasumigaoka.

If there's any difference, it's that there are many more red lines for decoration, and fewer statues of gods.

"I'm going to put the rice away. You should keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get damp and moldy."

Kyosuke Kosaka said something.

The Goddess of Fate wanted to make a positive impression, but was gently pushed back by Kyosuke Kousaka.

This guy is serious when he's being serious, but sometimes he feels no different from Aqua.

As Kyosuke Kousaka left.

The main hall only contained Kasumigaoka and Enmusubi.

Kasumigaoka sat in a chair with a cup of steaming tea in front of him.

The Goddess of Fate stood five steps away from him, a wide smile on her face, her delicate features radiating a sense of humor.

For some reason, Kasumigaoka always felt that Enmusubi had a shabby air about her. Her clothes were clean, but she still managed to get the impression that they were worn out.

"I heard from Lord Tsuki-no-Kami that this is a deity from Takamagahara, and a deity born from human marriage, so it must be very powerful..."

Perhaps, it's just a matter of keeping a low profile.

Kasumigaoka still holds a very respectful attitude.

Would you like some red bean cake?

"No need, Lord Enmusubi."

"Then I have nothing else~ Haha!"

"what……"

Kasumigaoka smiled, a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had done his job efficiently, came out and saw Kasumigaoka and Enmusubi smiling. He remarked that Enmusubi was indeed a source of joy.

"The grain is stored away. What have you harvested these past two days?"

Kousaka Kyosuke asked Enkei God.

The God of Fate's smile vanished instantly, and he began to sigh.

"No one comes to worship at the moment, it's quite desolate... Did we choose the wrong place?"

In the end, the voice sounded like a question.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost laughed out of anger.

He put in a lot of effort to find a place where passersby would frequently pass by and where patrol personnel would often patrol.

Is this place, where the God of Fate is located, a desolate place?

He was hard.

The fist is really about to be raised!

After thinking it over, he still earnestly began to explain the reasoning.

"Wait until spring arrives, flowers bloom, and the cold weather passes, then expect someone to come and worship you as a believer."

"Sigh...that makes sense. If you can't get enough to eat, no one will be interested in romance."

The God of Fate was still quite clear-headed, understood the problem, and had a complicated expression on his face.

Kyosuke Kousaka: "You know that much."

Kasumigaoka also spoke.

"People who have enough to eat may indeed talk about love, but their attitude towards relationships may not be sincere."

Take the Imperial Palace for example. Most of the female officials there weren't there to gain the Emperor's favor, but rather to enter the palace, gain prestige, and find a good husband.

Similar to how upper and middle-ranking nobles recruit the children of their vassals as personal guards and maids, there are always specific purposes behind it.

Otherwise, why wouldn't all these talented and beautiful noble ladies stay quietly at home?

It should be clear that showing one's face in public will ultimately be criticized in terms of female virtue.

Of course, if the man doesn't mind, then it's not really a problem.

At most, it'll just be something people talk about occasionally when they gossip about it.

Let's get back to the main topic.

For these well-fed people, Kasumigaoka doesn't see any real "romance".

The woman had ulterior motives from the very beginning.

What about the men? They just want a one-night stand, then go on to flaunt their charm, and most of them don't even think about marrying the woman.

The thought of those scoundrels made Kasumigaoka furious again.

She was quite beautiful, but that was nothing special in the palace where beauties were everywhere. Those noble men who pursued her were only doing it to show off, which was disgusting!

Sei Shonagon understood this as well, so she would just smile normally and not get close to any men.

My attitude towards Tachibana Norimitsu was alright... but it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

If you don't like it, you don't like it.

There is no need for a reason.

“Yes, that’s why I’m not interested in the fates of those high-ranking officials and nobles.” The God of Fate nodded in agreement.

Kyosuke Kosaka asked a probing question.

"Shiyu, since you have such unique opinions on these things, what suggestions do you have for the shrine? Feel free to bring them up and let's see."

Kasumigaoka smiled and said, "I don't have any suggestions. Didn't you say before that you wanted to build a village around here when the weather gets warmer? When it's stable and developed, there will definitely be many newlyweds who will get married."

"Hey, Kyosuke, you're going to build a village here?" Enmusubi asked, tilting her head in confusion.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "If we don't build a village here, how can those women and children stay here indefinitely? In the end, people can only rely on themselves; that's the cold, hard reality."

“That’s right. I’ve noticed that the Moon Chaser’s side is consuming a lot of food every day. That’s not a good sign.”

The God of Fate agrees with this.

She is not like Miketsu, a deity who can protect agriculture, make people rich, and ensure they have enough to eat.

It is merely a deity who protects people and helps them form connections.

If you try to manage more things, that would be overstepping your authority.

However, she cannot allow any tragedy to occur in front of her!

"You think the same way I do."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Kasumigaoka couldn't help but smile at Kousaka Kyosuke again.

Seeing Kasumigaoka's radiant smile, Kousaka Kyosuke felt relieved.

be honest.

His initial help to Kasumigaoka was just a casual gesture, after all, they were people he "used to know".

Nowadays, if you get to know someone for a long time, you can at least be considered a friend.

Although we didn't have a long-term relationship like the one with the socially anxious person who frequently needed psychological counseling, they were still friends.

Kyosuke Kousaka is very warm-hearted towards his friends.

Even though Kyosuke Kousaka is still thinking about how to cut off a section of Yukinari Fujiwara's hair.

It seems he did something wrong before...

I feel like I've forgotten some things related to him.

It's okay, it shouldn't be that important.

"Would you like to come and help me, Shiyu? I'll provide you with a place to stay~" Yuanjie Shen suddenly said, her face full of hope.

Kasumigaoka blinked: "I already have a place to stay with Lady Oitsuki."

"Having another place to stay is like having double the insurance."
