Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 336

They gradually came to believe that the two of them had an absolutely limitless future!

So the compliments just kept coming!

The same applies to Ayanokoji and Hikigaya.

Hikigaya smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was a little flustered.

"What is Kiyotaka up to now? Didn't he say he wanted to resolve the issues with the Ministry of Revenue?"

"I'll never trust this person again!"

Ayanokouji didn't care about all that.

I had long noticed that almost everyone Hachiman knew was at this manor.

He intended to solve the problem once and for all.

A group of reckless, out-of-touch, naive, and childish individuals are about to receive a harsh blow from reality.

Ayanokoji believed he was doing a good deed.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about!

Soon, the crowd that had come over began to stand quietly on the outer veranda.

The three people sitting in the ferry hall could easily see a group of men and women dressed in gray linen clothes from their slightly elevated position.

There were thirty or forty people in the group, and they were all exceptionally young.

"...Chief Zhuang, the person has been brought."

The politician in charge of the search spoke cautiously.

The head of the village did not go to see the government official.

He glanced at the crowd and noticed that there was a politician's son among them.

That's when I felt somewhat satisfied.

"After all, he's one of the junior staff members. Publicly humiliating him will only provoke resentment from the other junior staff members."

"Let's deal with this slowly after this incident passes..."

After finishing his thought, the head of the estate waved his hand at the government official and said, "Stand aside."

The official respectfully performed a deep bow.

They then moved to a corner of the ferry hall, like a gatekeeper.

If you pay attention to their expressions, you will find that the politicians' expressions are very serious and respectful.

In reality, the politician was both shocked and furious!

The good deed his son, Hayato Hayama, had finally landed him in the crossfire!

He immediately noticed the head of the manor's indifference and coldness towards him.

He's very likely certain he'll face retribution later!

If he were to lose his position as manor keeper as a result, he would be nothing!

Then you'll be just like a beggar.

No, they're even worse off than beggars!

Kyoto, a city more peaceful and prosperous than any other place, would not have beggars!

Homeless people are generally forced to stay in certain places.

Forcibly entering the normal road section will result in being driven away and beaten by officers and soldiers.

They are even more miserable than beggars in the modern world!

"Hayato... that idiot! I told him not to associate with those classmates and alumni!"

A rare outburst of rage from a politician.

He really wants to yell at and scold his son right now!

After observing for more than half a year, how could he not know what kind of people his son's classmates and alumni were?

Each and every one of them has ambitions that are higher than the sky, but their lives are as fragile as paper!

To communicate with one's son as an equal is something a lowly commoner could do.

Not obsequious and not diligent, where did this rich young master or young lady come from?

The politician, who didn't believe that a group of people could live very long, genuinely didn't expect that this time he would cause him such big trouble!

He was stalking officials, fleeing on his own, and even having connections with monsters?

This could really drag him into trouble!

The politicians wished they had tormented these people to death back then.

At least it wouldn't have led to this situation...

At this moment!

Not only were the officials in charge feeling complicated, but the other villagers who were summoned also had mixed feelings.

The faces of the young people, all around sixteen or seventeen years old, were filled with panic and bewilderment.

Especially when he saw that the familiar Hu Buxiang had a large swelling on his face and was unconscious.

Hu Buxiang is currently in very poor condition.

Like a dog that has been tied up with a rope, it was thrown to one side of a corner.

Hayato Hayama saw this and was very worried.

"Was the Minister of Revenue reprimanded?"

He then secretly glanced at Hachiman, hoping that Hachiman could help him.

Yes, at this point, Hayama Hayato realized that only Hikigaya could help Tobe Sho.

If Hikigaya doesn't help, Tobe Sho will most likely really die.

"..." Hikigaya, who was drinking with the head of the manor, twitched his eyelids.

His keen senses allowed him to notice Hayato Hayama's gaze.

He just couldn't speak.

Ayanokouji, who was standing nearby, had basically taken control of the situation.

If he intervenes, the situation will only become completely out of control.

Ayanokouji, who clearly wants to brainwash him, will probably take drastic measures.

"All kneel down!"

A cold drink.

Upon discovering that the magistrate's son was still looking around suspiciously, the head of the estate could no longer tolerate it.

It is this group of people who are causing trouble for themselves.

How could he feel satisfied without being whipped?

But we'll have to wait until after this.

Plop, plop, plop——

The dull thuds of knees hitting the ground continued one after another.

Hikigaya felt a slight pang in his heart when he caught a glimpse of several familiar faces out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing even the familiar Hayato Hayama among them left him speechless.

He roughly understood Ayanokouji's actions.

"...I will definitely not let Kiyotaka act recklessly again next time!"

Ayako's smile remained unchanged on the road.

Despite being secretly criticized by Hikigaya, he remained almost completely unmoved.

He was smiling on the outside, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart.

How could a group of people who are completely brainless possibly interest him?

This time, we still need to completely resolve the problems for Hachiman.

Make sure everyone understands your identity and status.

"Then I'll ask first."

Ayanokouji said politely to the head of the estate.

The head of the manor smiled and looked at Hachiman: "Come on, let's continue drinking."

Hachiman could only smile and continue swallowing the wine that made his scalp tingle.

I don't know how long I've been in this era...

He learned to drink.
