Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 433

Just as they were about to reach their destination, another person called out to Ayanokouji.

Ayanokouji snapped out of her daze and looked at the man blocking her way.

I had a vague feeling that the face looked familiar.

High cheekbones, small eyes, brown hair... Haruki?

I think his full name was Haruki Yamauchi.

We were assigned to the same dormitory and were classmates at the beginning of the semester.

I remember this person was my servant at the Taoist priest's residence.

How did I end up here?

"Who are you?" Ayanokouji asked slowly, his mind racing with thoughts.

The boy blocking Ayanokoji's path startled Haruki Yamauchi.

"...Kiyotaka, Lord Kiyotaka, I am Haruki. I helped Shizuko carry water before."

Jingzi?

Ayanokouji narrowed his eyes, a hint of something unreadable deep within them.

"It's you. What's up?"

"Hehe... It's nothing, I just came over to say hello when I ran into Lord Kiyotaka."

Haruki Yamauchi laughed.

Seeing that Ling Xiaolu's expression was calm, she was not at all as terrifying as others had described.

He felt relieved.

A while ago, he did something wrong and was beaten up by the person in charge and kicked out of the mansion.

Then he had no choice but to wander here.

And there are several girls here too, they're all very cute...

She's even cuter than Ayanokoji's younger sister, Shizuko.

Not only are they beautiful, but they are also very well-developed.

But right now, I have to be with Shizuko.

"I think I heard that Kiyotaka has become some kind of official. If I can marry Shizuko, I can get rid of my current situation."

"There's so much work to do here every day: scooping up trash from the river, cleaning up the filthy paths, even moving corpses... It's disgusting."

"If you could marry Ayanokouji's sister, you wouldn't have to do this kind of work. To survive, you have to praise even a flat-chested figure."

Haruki Yamauchi was still smiling, his mind racing with thoughts.

Ayanokoji calmly watched Yamauchi Haruki grin foolishly, without offering any advice.

I do not know how long it has been.

Haruki Yamauchi, slowly coming to his senses, looked expectantly at Ayanokoji.

"Lord Kiyotaka, how is Shizuko doing lately?"

"It's best if you don't get involved in her affairs."

"……what."

The spring tree in the mountain was slightly confused.

The indifferent reply took him by surprise.

Looking at Ayanokouji's still calm face, he suddenly thought of the stewards in the mansion.

They all seemed to look like that too...

"Is there anything else?" Ayanokouji asked softly.

Haruki Yamauchi shook his head violently as a conditioned reflex.

“No more, no more…”

"Ah."

Ayanokouji gave a faint reply, still looking at Haruki Yamauchi.

Haruki Yamauchi was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that he was blocking the middle of the road and hurriedly moved aside.

"Please, please... Lord Kiyotaka."

Finally realizing the vast difference between his classmates and himself, Haruki Yamauchi felt a sense of unease and fear.

At the same time, it was filled with deep resentment.

They were all in the same class, but he got a minor official position just by currying favor with a big shot.

What's there to be so proud of?

"..." Feeling the subtle, yet unmistakable, malicious gaze behind him, Ayanokouji remained indifferent.

Haruki Yamauchi? This implies that Kenzaki has already taken care of it.

Even if his sister hadn't met Kousaka Kyosuke, he would never have given her to that good-for-nothing.

Not to mention that his younger sister is already with Kousaka Kyosuke.

"If Lord Kyosuke finds out, I wonder if this person will even be able to reach the Sanzu River."

Ayanokoji Secret Passage.

He was angry too.

But let him kill you.

Give me a quick death, don't torture me.

This is the best he could do.

Leaving aside the matter of Haruki Yamauchi, Ayanokouji began to ponder another matter.

"There seem to be quite a few people like me here...daring to observe me from the shadows?"

"Such audacity is not something people of this era could do."

"Or do you think I wouldn't dare kill? You're still restless after all..."

My heart grew colder and colder.

Ayanokouji no longer possessed the composure she had when she first arrived.

Disobedient people?

There is no need for it to exist.

Upon meeting Kenzaki, Ayanokouji exchanged a few pleasantries before getting to the point.

"Kenzaki, do you know that since I came in, at least ten people have been observing me?"

"...Lord Kiyotaka, this is my fault for failing to discipline him properly!"

Kenzaki wanted to kneel down.

Ayanokouji, anticipating this, forcefully helped him up.

He admired Kenzaki.

Naturally, he didn't want Kenzaki, who was old enough to be his father, to kneel down and apologize.

"I don't need you to kneel. What I need is for you to kill these disobedient people."

"Yes!"

Kenzaki immediately replied.

Only then did he realize how rampant some of the inhuman organizations under his jurisdiction were!

Even important figures dare to spy and observe?

This is an attempt to drag everyone down with them!

“I have no intention of controlling you. I am only here on orders to check the situation. You need to understand what that means.”

"I understand, Lord Kiyotaka."

"There's one more person; could you take care of him for me while you're at it..."

Ayanokouji, who was about to leave after saying a few words, did not forget his former classmates.

How could someone who isn't even a commoner dare to covet his sister and harbor resentment?

Since he was so eager to die, Ayanokouji naturally chose to grant his wish.

Leave the inhuman tribe.

Only when he finally felt the gaze disappear did Ayanokouji completely suppress his murderous intent.

In the half year since he came to this world, he has killed far too many people and monsters.

These insignificant, lowly people acted as if they were provoking us.
