Her lack of common sense left her wondering why her ears would be touched in that way each time.
She was also ashamed to ask others for the reason.
The Moon Chaser felt that asking the question would make him lose face.
I'd rather grit my teeth and silently endure it every time Kyosuke Kosaka touches my ear...
She's determined to keep her promises!
She's going to become a god!
Promises should not be broken lightly!
Seeing that the Moon Goddess didn't ask any questions, the White Wolf continued to daydream leisurely.
She wanted to go to the shrine with the Moon Chaser later.
The owner won't be there until noon.
Kyosuke Kousaka was mentioned?
He is currently in the government office.
Seeing that his fathers-in-law, Ayanokouji, and some members of the Qin clan were not present today.
My heart felt light yet joyful.
Those who rushed to Kyoto Port yesterday have all gone to rest.
Kyosuke Kosaka did this on purpose.
"Once the news about the Great Character Prefecture spreads, the story of how they helped exorcise the monster will soon be known as well."
"Don't mistake the mirage specimen from the Great Character Mansion for something you're planning to flaunt as a badge of honor..."
"We've worked together quite well."
Kousaka Kyosuke sighed secretly.
He reached an agreement with the Daiji Prefecture.
To put it simply...
He didn't care about any achievements like soloing the Lobster Monster; he just wanted to buy some imported goods cheaply.
He also took the opportunity to promote his trusted confidants.
With a specimen of the Mirage Tower, its reputation is definitely worth pursuing.
In this era, reputation is built on word of mouth, which then becomes increasingly exaggerated over time.
Kyosuke Kousaka didn't care.
After all, he has participated in countless large and small extermination operations.
It doesn't matter whether you have more or less achievements.
Just don't offend too many people.
There's no need to offend neutral forces like the Da Zi Prefecture, which are clearly easy to befriend.
While casually pondering, Kyosuke Kosaka checked some more official documents.
Finding that there were basically no problems, he secretly observed the expressions and demeanor of the other people through his senses.
Well, nothing much has happened.
Alright, patrol!
Less than half an hour.
Kousaka Kyosuke then left the government office to inspect the situation inside Kyoto.
Even if you know that moving around frequently may not necessarily uncover any problems.
However, he was quite aware that it was still very useful to make connections with various nobles.
At least, doesn't that prove he's working?
You can't say that running your legs off was just for fun, can you?
"Oh, and I should also mention the port!"
Halfway there, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly remembered the conditions given to him by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.
The Da Zi Fu completely seized the authority of the Water Department in navigation administration, river and sea management, and other related powers.
In the end, the Water Department was just an abandoned government office.
Being abandoned means that it has been banned by some department.
As for which department?
In Kyoto, it would definitely be the Daijifu government office.
Let's not even mention other places.
These local tycoons were no ordinary people.
Trying to interfere with them is just asking for trouble.
Thinking while walking.
Soon after, Kyosuke Kosaka found Michitsuna Fujiwara and explained the situation.
"Since Lord Laiguang has agreed, I will report this to my family. By the way, are you only fishing?"
"Yes, don't worry! We'll just catch fish! We won't sell them, we'll just eat them ourselves."
“Alright, I will convey your message.” Fujiwara Michitsuna nodded readily.
He still trusted Kyosuke Kousaka.
At least when Kyosuke Kousaka makes such a guarantee, he would never doubt it.
In this era, "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" could be considered the most basic virtues of the nobility.
No one openly disobeys.
"So, do you need a few fish?"
Fujiwara no Michitsuna asked curiously again.
After finishing his business, he chose to chat about gossip.
"You think it's really just a matter of a few fish? You can make dried fish yourself to eat or give as a gift. I guarantee that the ones I make are even tastier! After all, dried fish is a bit pricey."
"...Your pride and arrogance are clearly a bit superfluous."
You should praise me for being thrifty and good at managing the household!
Kousaka Kyosuke corrected seriously.
He told the truth.
Dried fish is indeed quite expensive.
This is no way.
Transporting fresh fish is actually quite labor-intensive and resource-intensive, and the fish often rots and smells bad due to the hot and humid conditions.
The nobles of Kyoto had a greater preference for seafood.
However, in reality, only a handful of businesses transport fresh seafood from Kyoto Port every day.
More nobles ate dried fish.
Therefore, dried fish is quite expensive.
As for ordinary people wanting to fish in rivers and seas? They need permission first.
Eating wild vegetables honestly is the real way.
Overall, fish really does have a sophisticated, bourgeois flavor.
In Kyosuke Kosaka's view, making them and giving them to nobles and vassals would be excellent.
"Hehe, don't make it sound like I'm not frugal or thrifty. My frugality is beyond your imagination!"
Fujiwara no Michitsuna, unusually cheerful, started chatting.
His mother was abandoned by his father on Itsukushima Island, and he lived with his mother from a young age.
The Fujiwara family provided them with food and clothing, but not with protection.
Orphaned and helpless, they were often robbed of their food.
At that time, we would have to rely on the wonders of nature.
Wild vegetables, wild fruits, mushrooms... nature's bounty is still plentiful.
The mother and son are still doing well.
Uh……
Kousaka Kyosuke was slightly shocked.
Seeing that Fujiwara no Michitsuna was clearly reminded of something, I decided to start a conversation with him.
