Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 380

Shizuko looked at the chef, Nino, with surprise.

What amazing cooking skills!

Time flew by, and the sounds of women's voices moved from the mother's room to the bathhouse.

They then moved from the public bathhouse to the bathhouse.

Kousaka Kyosuke, comfortably enjoying a hot bath, paid little attention to the spring scenery around him.

It's all mine, what's the rush?

Today was probably too leisurely.

It wouldn't be good if things continued to deteriorate like this, would it?

"It's decided, starting tomorrow, I can't indulge myself anymore!"

Day 224 of crossing

There was no party last night.

The five newcomers, Ichika, Yotsuba, Kirisu Miharu, Hiromi, and Megumi, are not yet used to life in the inner palace.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes that things should not be done haphazardly.

So that night, he had a friendly chat with Xiangzi, Suyi Sushang, Chika, Fuji Shikibu, Chitanda, Shizuko, Yaodao-hime, and others.

As for the two shikigami, White Wolf and Moon Chaser?

Kyosuke Kosaka stated that he is not that kind of person.

At least...

In short, when Kyosuke Kousaka went out and saw the white wolf today, she was a little sullen.

Both its furry ears and tail droop down.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes he is responsible.

There is also the Moon Chaser.

Although I had a very enjoyable time eating and drinking yesterday.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes she must still be upset about not participating in the final party.

So, let's work together to increase our affection level today?

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke was preparing to do so, Hachiman came to find him.

"Lord Kyosuke, I heard from a friend that there are extraordinary monsters in Kyoto Port..."

"Friends? Which friends?"

Kyosuke Kousaka is more curious about Hikigaya's friends.

Hachiman's lips twitched barely:

"Your name is Prajna, which sounds like a demon, but I heard you are an official in the Water Department."

"Don't worry! The Water Department's authority has been completely usurped by the Grand Prefecture!"

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

A thought struck me deeply.

Damn it, it's not the Sea Kingdom!

Sending a powerful demon to give him some experience would be better than the Sea Kingdom!

"Tell me more about the situation at Kyoto Port."

Putting aside his gossipy thoughts, Kousaka Kyosuke inquired about the details earnestly.

Hikigaya immediately began to explain in detail.

There weren't actually many sentences.

The Prajna said that a troublesome demon was about to arrive at Kyoto Port.

"According to the setting, Hannya knows a lot about demons."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought.

Characters like Prajna, who are similar to "know-it-alls," are indeed very useful.

For example, Abe no Seimei.

Abe no Seimei knew many yokai and was well-liked.

He is also a "know-it-all" character.

That's why he's the main character.

Of course, if anyone else were in Abe no Seimei's position, they certainly wouldn't have been able to do it well.

Kousaka Kyosuke definitely can’t do it!

Ultimately, he was not as gentle as Abe no Seimei.

Many times, people just kill without hesitation.

At the same time, Kyosuke Kosaka was also thankful that Seimei Abe no Seimei was not a saint.

When it comes to the greater good of Kyoto, his resolve to kill was probably no less than his.

Otherwise, if a disaster were to occur in Kyoto in the future, Kousaka Kyosuke might not even be able to speak with Abe no Seimei.

When people are incompatible, many things become difficult.

Conversely, it's good if it's not.

Take, for example, the relationship between Kyosuke Kousaka and Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

He didn't consider himself to be on equal footing with Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

After all, he is the patriarch of one of the three major Onmyoji factions.

The clan wielded enormous influence in both political and economic spheres.

How does Kousaka Kyosuke compare?

In other words, Minamoto no Yorimitsu had high emotional intelligence.

They are good at speaking and doing things.

Know what others need, and always be able to provide it.

Therefore, after separating from Hikigaya, Kousaka Kyosuke thought of going to find Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Before that, he should go find Fujiwara no Michitsuna.

Let's see if Fujiwara Michitsuna is aware of the situation.

"There is a good chance that it is the lobster monster that invaded Kyoto Port half a year ago."

"Lobster monster?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked puzzled, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the Shuibusi Manor was still under construction and many things were not yet perfect.

We can't just stop because of the Sea Kingdom.

In that case, all my previous investments would be wasted!

Currently, the daily operation of the mansion incurs considerable expenses.

In addition, Kyosuke Kosaka wanted the women in the palace to be well-nourished, so he ate rice at every meal.

Furthermore, considering that the maids Yukinoshita, Chitanda, and the five sisters all had family connections, their expenses were considerable.

They often provide subsidies through various means.

And then there's the gradually increasing diplomatic spending...

The total cost, no matter how small, is not a small amount.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, was quite pleased with it.

He could tell that the women were much happier.

That would make him happy.

Just like working and earning money in the modern world to ensure a worry-free family life.

If a husband can ensure his partners are carefree, then he has fulfilled his duties as a husband.

"Six months ago, a monster called 'Mirage' attacked Kyoto Port, and Lord Raikou went to subdue it."

"He ran away injured?"

"Yes, it runs very fast—you want to go and subdue it?"

"No, I won't compete with the Grand Prince for power, especially since the situation hasn't been confirmed yet."
