Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 367

Once the politician regained his senses, he suddenly realized that what he had been thinking was likely just a momentary delusion.

Right now, he should be facing the deep-seated malice of the village head.

He was, after all, just a manor official, one of many ordinary manor officials in the manor.

Even if he made a mistake, the head of the manor would at most give him a severe scolding...

Perhaps one day, in order to show my magnanimity, I will forgive him?

is it possible?

The politician didn't know; he only knew that this was the only way he could think.

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka, the observer in the shadows, remained silent.

"Does this involve me? Or others around me?"

Kousaka Kyosuke thought.

Seeing that his father-in-law refused the request of someone who was supposed to be a friend without hesitation.

He probably had a few guesses.

After thinking about it, Kyosuke Kousaka, who originally wanted to go home and spend time with his other partners, curiously followed Masato.

When they discovered that Masato had returned to the manor where Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, and his father-in-law Shogo had once gathered, they were shocked.

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression changed to one of realization.

There is also Hayato Hayama here.

It's estimated that there are other classmates who are grouped around Hayama Hayato...

So, was Ayanokoji and Hikigaya's operation last time also because of this?

"Ah-Ba promised me he wouldn't get involved in his classmates' affairs anymore."

"So you're letting Kiyotaka handle this?"

"And that's how the matter involving about a hundred villagers came about?"

Kousaka Kyousuke's mouth twitched.

I discovered that both of my brothers-in-law are quite the ladies' man.

It's like one thing leading to another.

From a certain perspective, Kyosuke Kosaka believed that he was inextricably linked to these events.

After thinking about it, he wondered if he should go and inspect the new manor.

If you don't have a good opinion of so many time travelers, aren't you just setting a trap?

Although Kyosuke Kousaka believed that Ayanokouji would handle the situation properly, he trusted himself more.

Why not just kill the ones that don't obey?

Why make it so complicated?

However, this would likely cause Hikigaya to feel guilty for no reason.

Let's just do it quietly.

Ultimately, mutual understanding is also very important.

For some reason, Kyosuke Kosaka recalled the scene of Komachi shyly changing his clothes after his bath.

Or perhaps it's the tranquil posture of Komachi's even breathing during her afternoon nap.

I just want to touch those slightly upturned little canine teeth...

Wait a minute? What is he thinking?

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly realized that his thoughts were very improper.

We decided to take immediate action.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Ukyo.

In a certain manor, a group of young men and women who had worked for three days were utterly exhausted.

Even Yamato, who thought he could become the leader, almost collapsed on a moldy wooden board.

The responsibility of managing people that I thought I had was completely absent!

Aside from work, it's all work.

Bending over to loosen the soil, carrying wood and stones... there was almost no time to catch one's breath as one task was carried out.

If you don't do your job well, you absolutely won't get any food!

If an already fatigued body doesn't replenish its nutrients, it will inevitably face death.

Therefore, everyone worked very hard.

Even Tobe Sho, who was determined to avenge Hayama Hayato.

Or perhaps it's other classmates who feel worried or guilty towards Hayato Hayama.

Everyone was so busy with work that they forgot everything else.

My mind is filled with work and my craving for food.

It's as if they don't know what they're living for.

"Damn it..." Yamato really wanted to yell "You stinky woman!"

He ultimately held back.

He believes it very much.

I'm afraid that as soon as I say it, someone will run off to tip me off.

Wouldn't it be a win-win situation if we got some food?

—Yamato knew that everyone hated him.

I hate that he was the first to betray Hayama Hayato, and I hate that he also betrayed others.

But Yamato could only sneer.

That day, he had no doubt that Ayanokouji would kill him.

So naturally, I'll tell you everything I know!

Put yourself in their shoes, who wouldn't do that?

If you're really that brave, why did you kneel on the ground during Ayanokouji's interrogation?

Why not stand up and confront Ayanokouji?

In Yamato's eyes, a group of people, like him, were simply trying to survive.

He was just incredibly unlucky to be chosen.

Fortunately, he was tall.

Even if others want to bully him, he is not afraid!

"So tired, sob sob..." One of the girls finally couldn't help but sob.

However, those around her only offered numb reminders to the crying girl.

"keep your voice down."

"If you get caught, you'll be whipped."

"..."

The girl's sobs stopped.

Those who work slowly these past few days have also been whipped with a rattan cane.

Men and women are treated equally.

Therefore, no one is not afraid.

When they were being whipped, no one dared to resist.

The sight of burly men with broad shoulders and thick waists was enough to instantly make anyone lose the will to resist.

“Yo…” Miura Yumiko walked up to the crying girl.

The girl couldn't help but lunge at her, her body trembling, afraid to make a sound.

Yumiko Miura gently embraced him and sighed softly.

The men and women around them were numbly resting, hardly paying any attention.

"Run! Get out of here!"

A thought suddenly flashed through Tobu Sho's mind.

Although it was discovered that no repercussions had been imposed.
