Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1421

This shouldn't be touched casually no matter what, right?

“I know very well that I, a woman, don’t need to care about these things, but these days when I’ve been traveling around and seen some tragic scenes, it’s still hard not to be moved…”

Realizing that what she had just said was utterly "outrageous," Tennoji Miri also took the initiative to admit her stubbornness.

She was banned from carrying out relief work after a disturbance during one of her relief efforts.

Even so, she still felt some concern for the disaster victims living in terrible conditions.

Of course, if you don't have the ability, it's better not to act rashly.

"Then do you know what Lord Kyosuke did?" Sei Shonagon suddenly asked.

Tennoji Miri suddenly looked up and stared intently at Sei Shonagon, blurting out in confusion, "How did you do that?"

"Out of sight, out of mind, that's what Lord Kyosuke said himself."

"..."

Tennoji Temple is a beautiful petrified site.

This, this can't be real, it absolutely can't be real!

Kyoko and Fujishikibu had complicated expressions, and they both believed that Sei Shonagon's words were most likely true.

Because they know their husbands too well.

Kyoko: "Although Kyosuke-sama has quite a few childish traits, he has always been very rational when it comes to these kinds of realistic issues."

Fujishikibu: "Kyosuke-sama still hasn't restrained his words at all... It's fortunate that Lady Horie is no ordinary person; it's no big deal that she heard these words."

“He said he couldn’t help that much, so it would be better to ignore it, otherwise it would only breed resentment,” Sei Shonagon continued.

Tennoji Temple is beautiful to listen to, yet it remains petrified.

The perfect filter I had of Kyosuke Kousaka was beginning to crack.

With a "bang!", the filter shattered...

Day 474 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who wanted to stay in bed early in the morning, was woken up by his partners. He didn't want to move and passively accepted being dressed, washed, and fed breakfast, feeling lazy all the time.

"Lord Kyosuke, since Lord Seimei hopes you can enlighten Lady Yaobikuni and Lord Horie, then put in a better effort! Don't look so unmotivated!"

Sei Shonagon placed her palm on Kousaka Kyosuke's face and rubbed it, causing Kousaka Kyosuke's mouth to puff up and become deformed.

Everyone else who saw it chuckled.

"Kyosuke-sama, please give me some energy~"

"okay!"

Kousaka Kyosuke, whose eyes were almost closed from squinting, immediately perked up, shook his head and decisively shook off Sei Shonagon's two hands. Then, he regained his spirits, raised his hand and reached out to a girl with a distinctive little ahoge (cowlick) to pat her head.

Komachi.

This has always been Kyosuke Kousaka's source of energy.

If it weren't for Komachi's mother's condition, Komachi herself would have already been serving him at the manor.

"Kyosuke-sama, cheer up! Ooh ooh ooh!"

Komachi smiled radiantly, her slightly parted mouth revealing a row of clean, even teeth, her canine teeth still shining brightly, full of youthful vigor.

"Okay, you should also take care of yourself and get some rest," Kousaka Kyosuke said to Komachi with a smile.

Komachi nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, Kyosuke-sama, don't worry."

"I feel like I've lost weight."

"No, it's that you've grown up!"

Komachi's sweet smile became even brighter, her face radiant with pride.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt it was best not to continue the conversation, otherwise the atmosphere would be difficult to adjust.

"I'll check it carefully again when it's more convenient for me."

"She spoils Komachi a lot."

Sei Shonagon, Kyoko, and Fuji Shikibu whispered to each other.

Kaori said, "Because Komachi is the cutest."

Fujishikibu nodded slightly in approval.

She was well aware that her husband was rather doting and indulgent towards their young child.

It just so happens that Komachi's age is at a rather delicate point, coupled with her very sensible personality and highly recognizable little characteristics, so it's not hard to understand why she is especially loved.

After a while.

After exchanging a few intimate words with Komachi and his other companions, Kousaka Kyosuke prepared to depart with Kagura.

After visiting the government office yesterday and carefully gathering a lot of information, he discovered that the Emperor and the nobles were still deeply immersed in Buddhism and had entrusted all matters to Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Therefore, there are basically no problems with things within Kyoto.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that these people were quite bold. The increasingly clear snake shadow in the sky was as conspicuous as a red warning sign of terror. In the end, they were all just pretending to be stupid, right?

Well, no one can wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.

He decided to talk to Yaobikuni with Kagura first, lest she become depressed and withdrawn again.

From all perspectives, Yaobikuni is unlikely to betray them again, but she is also one of the main characters and has achieved great success in yin-yang arts such as divination, healing, and purification, making her an indispensable talent in the great war.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes it is essential to guide her to good health so that her strength can be maximized.

After leaving, Kyosuke Kosaka and Kagura soon met Yaobikuni and Mirei Tennoji at Mikazuki-ji Temple.

Upon seeing the beautiful young woman, Tennoji, Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be giving her some advice. A soft, clicking sound rang out, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kagura feeding someone…

"Mr. Kyosuke, I'll have to trouble you today."

"Today? I think that's a bit of a stretch. You can play for a few more days, and I'll take over your work during this time."

“That seems to work. I’ll leave the next few days to Mr. Kyosuke.”

The eight hundred nuns replied with a smile.

She readily accepted Kyosuke Kosaka's suggestion.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't care about that and started talking about other things.

"Seimei is too considerate of other people's thoughts and situations. Unless it is too important, he plans to shoulder everything by himself. It's fortunate that his physical strength is no less than that of Hiromasa, otherwise he would have collapsed from exhaustion one day."

Yaobikuni: "Kyosuke-san can't imagine what it would be like to live in Seimei-san's life, can he?"

Kyosuke Kousaka: "When did making fun of me become fashionable? I'm angry. Anyway, Kagura, you'll have to entertain everyone in my place."

“Alright, Kyosuke, you can go and help Seimei, but I’d like to bring some more guests,” Kagura said.

Kyosuke Kousaka patted Kagura's head.

"Anyone you approve of is my guest."

After saying that, he nodded to Tennoji Miri and then disappeared without a trace.

"Lord Kyosuke seems to be angry..."

Tennoji looked at Yaobikuni with a strange and beautiful expression.

Yaobikuni said, "He's just making excuses to leave. Maybe if I don't talk to him, he'll pretend he's hungry and go get something to eat. He's a very humorous and interesting person."

“That’s true.” Tennoji Miri felt relieved.

When Tachibana no Norimitsu proposed to Sei Shonagon, Kousaka Kyosuke helped out by saying "let's put aside the facts."

This ironic remark alone reveals glimpses of Kyosuke Kousaka's humorous personality.

It was only because she was not familiar with Kyosuke Kousaka that Kyosuke Kousaka did not show her more of his true self.

"Is there anyone else who wants to go? Anyone is welcome!"

After speaking with Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura asked Kaigetsu a question.

Kaigetsu is the youngest girl in Mikazuki-ji Temple.

She has a strong appetite and is about the same age as Kagura, but Kagura looks more mature.

"Everyone has been practicing diligently during this period, but in reality, their minds are not at peace at all."

"If you can't stay still, go have some fun."

"I think so too."

Kaigetsu agreed with Kagura's statement.

With a modern mindset, she was extremely dissatisfied with the various rules and regulations governing Buddhism in this era.

Of course, she also knew that in this era, one could only live peacefully if one had the identity of a nun, so she did not arbitrarily overstep the rules.
