Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1332

Kyosuke Kosaka began preparing his spell—he was going to move everyone in the mansion who wanted to come over.

With power, many things are still quite simple.

It includes not only pure power, but also some worldly power.

So, aristocratic women aren't allowed to show their faces freely, right?

Why not just create a "mini-kingdom"?

Kyosuke Kosaka probably understood why some people were still willing to become local governors rather than officials in the capital.

Compared to the scenario in Kyoto where a single brick could fall and hit numerous powerful figures, such an event would be virtually impossible in a country governed by local decrees.

Then, wouldn't it be wonderful to be a local tyrant that no one can control?

There are always some people who don't like being restricted.

"Coming~"

As soon as the group appeared, a woman wearing a red coat over a red silk blouse cheered happily.

— Sei Shonagon.

Kyosuke Kosaka never expected his new wife to be so lively after she arrived.

"Senhime, you're here too." Kagura noticed Senhime's figure and greeted her.

Xiangzi stepped forward with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Senhime."

Not only Xiangzi, but also Suyi, Fujishikibu, Sei Shonagon who had come to her senses... everyone greeted Senhime.

The scene was so lively that Kyosuke Kosaka found himself gradually losing his footing.

This...this isn't right!

When Senhime was invited by Kaori to attend a hastily organized women's gathering, Kousaka Kyosuke was completely stunned.

"Kagura too..."

When Kousaka Kyosuke saw Kagura join in, his heart skipped a beat.

I almost thought he was about to have a heart attack!

"Sushang..."

"Lord Kyosuke, I'm sorry, I have an appointment."

Su Chang said shyly, then hopped around like a nimble little deer and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then there are the Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, the Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba and Itsuki sisters, the White Wolf, Yaodao-hime and Yingcao... These people are either always together or in twos and threes, and they all made plans beforehand.

Kyosuke Kousaka was all alone.

It seems that they have been isolated.

Actually, that's not the case; it's just that everyone had their own plans in advance.

It would be very inappropriate for someone to get involved on their own.

Suddenly, a small hand reached up and landed on Kyosuke Kousaka's shoulder.

When Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly turned his head, he was met with a handsome face that was trying to appear calm but couldn't hide its smile.

"Lord Kyosuke, Eru and I have a small experiment that requires a capable assistant."

Shizuko's lips curled into a smile, a smile that seemed to spread wildly due to some unknown chemical reaction.

Finally, Shizuko couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chitanda, standing to the side, looked helpless and kept tugging at Shizuko's sleeve, but to no avail.

It seems that Shizuko is a girl with a very strong "desire for revenge".

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't think he had really offended her, did he? Probably.

"Okay, it'll get lively later anyway."

Kyosuke Kosaka patted Shizuko's head and glanced around.

They discovered that the once lively area was now only occupied by the three of them.

Just as Kyosuke Kousaka had thought.

Those who didn't have prior arrangements with their partners or lovers simply ignored him.

Indeed, the celebration on this day wasn't really a very important event.

There's no need to worry about it too much.

"Kyosuke-sama, let's do our best together!"

Chitanda encouraged Kousaka Kyosuke in a voice that was much more energetic than usual.

Kousaka Kyosuke gave a soft "hmm" and patted Chitanda's hair.

"It's still worth going to have fun later in the day; the celebration gets more lively as the night goes on."

"Yes, if Kyosuke-sama doesn't have anything else to do, he can play with us."

"Oh, Eru, Kyosuke-sama must have invited many other people as well."

Shizuko spoke up immediately after Chitanda made the suggestion.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at Shizuko with a sullen expression: "I'll be super gentle with you from now on, so please don't be so cruel to me."

Upon hearing this, Shizuko immediately got goosebumps.

"Lord Kyosuke, don't you feel there's something wrong with what you're saying?"

Putting aside the fact that he kept ignoring her cries and continued to bully her, is the phrase "super gentle" not a threat?

If not, it feels kind of scary.

She's not quite used to Kyosuke Kosaka speaking to her so gently now.

"This is bad, it feels like he's already showing signs of Stockholm syndrome! It's all Kyosuke's fault..."

Shizuko muttered to herself, saying it was dislike and blame, but of course that wasn't really the case.

"I feel like no matter what I do, you'll find fault with me."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and walked straight ahead.

He planned to help Shizuko and Chitanda complete their experiment as soon as possible so they could go out and play.

As for persuading them to rest, he had no intention of doing so.

Everyone has their own ideas, and Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't want to force them too much.

As long as I live a fulfilling and happy life, that's enough.

at the same time.

One by one, the other people invited by Kousaka Kyosuke arrived at the manor.

Compared to before, the manor today has many more interesting performances, as well as many delicious foods and goods that are much cheaper than usual.

"It's really lively here. I'll try to develop Arakawa into something like that in the future!"

Princess Goldfish has reverted to her childlike form, waving a small folding fan, exuding an air of commanding authority and grandeur.

Princess Kaguya, who had also become small, said softly, "Then Princess Goldfish will have to work harder."

"Princess Kaguya, you should also try harder! Try turning the Moon Palace into a manor too!"

"This... isn't quite right. After all, it's not so easy for others to get to the Moon Palace."

"Oh, that's true."

Princess Goldfish nodded.

Suddenly, Princess Kaguya let out a surprised sound.

"Huh?" Princess Goldfish looked at Princess Kaguya with a puzzled expression. "What happened?"

Following Kaguya's gaze reflexively, Kingyo's expression also became quite peculiar.

"Minoru has shrunk!"

Minoru is the spirit fox of Inari deity Miketsu.

They both knew about their previous act of pretending to be stupid and lingering at the manor, and many other people knew about it as well.

“It’s become many times smaller,” Princess Kaguya said.

Princess Goldfish summarized simply: "It's about the size of a dog, but that's just right. With my previous size, it would have been difficult for me to fit into these four-week-old beds."

"Su Chang is here too, you should say hello to her..."

"Looks like we don't need to. She and Minoru are both running really fast."

“…Yes, that’s right.” Princess Kaguya remained silent.

In the blink of an eye, she discovered that Su Chang and Xiao Ren had moved into the crowd with extremely nimble and swift speed, disappearing from sight.

Princess Goldfish couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many people here, yet she's still so agile!"
