Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"How are you feeling? Let me take a look."

Kyosuke Kosaka tried to soften his tone.

He vaguely smelled a familiar sweet aroma, and knew he needed to replenish his nutrition.

He was really tired yesterday and definitely needs to replenish his energy.

"..." The Moon Chaser pursed her lips tightly.

As Kyosuke Kosaka approached step by step, her heart raced, yet she felt utterly powerless to resist.

Finally, I was being "dragged" along step by step...

Just as Kyosuke Kosaka was about to drag her into a private cubicle, Oitsuki's expression turned to surprise.

"—Wait a minute, I can sense Xiao Ai's presence!"

"..."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was practically drooling, was annoyed.

I really wanted to pinch those swaying rabbit ears, but in the end I restrained myself.

The goddess Oitsuki is no different from noblewomen of the Heian period.

I hope to always maintain a dignified and refined demeanor.

Just like Xiangzi, Fujishikibu, Suyi and others.

They were extremely meticulous about their appearance.

You can do whatever you want inside the room, but once you're outside, not a single hair can be out of place!

The Moon Chaser God is the same.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka did not want her to lose face in front of the believers.

Even knowing that the Moon Chaser is almost certain to reveal his identity, it's still the same.

"...Let's continue after Xiao Ai leaves."

"Chasing the Moon Goddess said in a low voice."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded quickly: "I know."

To reward the Moon Chaser for being so understanding.

Today he decided to cook crucian carp soup himself!

His soup-making skills are top-notch.

The soup will definitely be white, thick, and fragrant!

"...You should also tell her about the shrine maiden. I'm still a yokai, so I can't see her."

"Whether you're a monster or not doesn't matter, just like how I treat you!"

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly built up his goodwill.

As she nervously recounted the story of Hayasaka Ai, Tsuki-no-Kami's face suddenly turned bright red.

She immediately glared at Kyosuke Kousaka, both embarrassed and annoyed.

"...I won't have your rabbits!"

After saying that, she jumped up and hid behind the statue.

Kyosuke Kosaka gazed at those long, powerful legs, their curves defined, encased in smooth white silk.

A feeling of regret welled up inside me.

In the past, he would have looked at it very carefully.

Right now?

Kousaka Kyosuke ordered Tsuki to cover her fair and beautiful legs with clothing.

Because he hates sharing.

Soon after, a blonde girl dressed in gray clothes entered the shrine.

The girl is Hayasaka Ai.

Despite the freezing weather, she braved the cold to come.

As of yesterday.

Hayasaka Ayase deeply realized just how important Kyoto was as a place to live.

Yesterday, through conversations with some homeless people from Heijō-kyō, she learned that the old capital was fraught with crisis.

The area surrounding the old capital is teeming with countless monsters and evil spirits!

On the contrary, it's Kyoto.

Even though some monsters rioted yesterday, they were suppressed in no time!

The area around the four main roads where the Shinomiya family lives?

It was completely unaffected.

Not to mention the location of the second and third main roads in the central area of ​​the capital.

Suddenly.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into view.

Hayasaka Ai stopped at the doorway, hesitant to go forward.

So familiar.

It looks so familiar!

That was a distinguished person whom you would occasionally see on the streets and alleys.

Is it an illusion?

Could it be that you are dreaming?

"Are you Xiao Ai?"

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke!"

Hayasaka Ai wanted to kneel down.

Regardless of whether it's a hallucination or not, kneel down first!

"You can speak by standing up."

As expected, Kyosuke Kosaka stopped Ai Hayasaka from kneeling down from a distance.

He doesn't care in public.

Kyosuke Kosaka was not too happy to accept this kind of private situation.

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke."

Hayasaka Ai answered like a broken record, her small face showing a slightly panicked expression.

He stood upright, but his head hung low.

Overall, it appears very obedient.

"I've heard of you. Would you be willing to become the shrine maiden of this shrine? If you don't want to, that's fine. I never force anyone."

Kyosuke Kosaka got straight to the point and asked.

Hayasaka Ai immediately lowered her head.

"I am extremely sorry, please forgive me, Lord Kyosuke... I am just a lowly servant and have no right to make choices for myself."

"Then let's go back and ask."

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke."

"That's fine then." Kyosuke Kousaka went straight into the cubicle.

He had no reason to continue communicating with Hayasaka Ai.

Because that's just how society works.

In situations where the status of the parties involved is unequal, saying even one extra word can be a form of torture for both.

Especially since they are not very familiar with each other at the moment.

As Hayasaka Aimi saw Kousaka Kyosuke leave, she quickly bowed deeply and gave him a deep bow.

The surprise came too suddenly!

So sudden!

She didn't know what to do!

"...The shrine of the Moon Chaser was originally owned by Kyosuke-sama."

"This way, there will still be opportunities to ease tensions later... No! We can't think like that!"

In an instant, Hayasaka Ai calmed down.
