Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Therefore, it's not unusual for ordinary people to be unwilling to visit the Moon God Shrine.

The same is true here.

"Six have already returned, but those people and the women in the village... don't get along very well," the Moon Chaser replied vaguely.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked completely at ease.

"That's normal. Before, the women and children in the village were homeless, so it was natural for people who already lived around here to treat them differently."

Chasing Moon God glared at Kousaka Kyosuke: "I already know that!"

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled, understanding that Tsukuyomi's gaze probably meant that if there was no solution, one shouldn't say anything that might upset her.

Actually, he didn't have much of a desire to make sarcastic remarks.

"If you can't solve it, don't dwell on it. You should know that the people of Kyoto are among the most arrogant. Even ordinary families living in different areas can be divided into different classes, and this is even more true for those living in the suburbs."

"...You're not from Kyoto?"

The God of the Moon wanted to laugh, but tried hard to hold it in, and then looked at Kagura with embarrassment.

Kagura shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind, and looked in the direction of Kousaka Kyosuke, curious about what he would say.

Being often with Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura naturally heard many things that made her think deeply.

"Yes, but I don't discriminate against people. The problem is that other people outside of Kyoto think this way, and I have no power to change their minds."

"Hmph... I have no intention of changing anyone's mind. As long as my followers are willing to strive to live a good life and refrain from evil, I will do everything in my power to protect them!"

"Don't spoil them like children, unless they really are children."

"Breakfast."

The Moon God turned his face away and did not give a specific response to Kousaka Kyosuke.

She didn't really want to continue the conversation.

I thought to myself, "I feel like you're more like a child..."

"Okay, let's have breakfast."

When he arrived early in the morning, Kousaka Kyosuke did not have breakfast with his partner in the bedroom, but instead chose to have breakfast with the Moon Goddess.

This is perhaps a way to make up for his frequent absence from the Moon Chaser.

We can't assume that just because the Moon Goddess is busy, there's no need to spend much time with her.

If that's the case, then Kyosuke Kousaka's scumbag tendencies would be even more astonishing.

Although he was a scumbag to begin with.

"Hey, how come the dumplings that Yuko makes are so soft and don't fall apart so easily..."

"It takes a long time to soak to achieve a soft and glutinous texture. The reason it doesn't fall apart is because it contains glutinous rice."

Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice.

Its stickiness goes without saying.

It was frequently used in the making of pastries in the royal palace.

In reality, the price of glutinous rice has quietly increased significantly over the past year.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who used to frequent Kyoto's city districts, noticed that many of these places had been acquired by the Genji.

Then, during the previous battle against the Suzuka Mountain sea monster, he discovered that there was glutinous rice paste in the temporarily reinforced and heightened city walls, and he immediately understood.

I don't know if it's thanks to the time traveler.

"Jiangmi... that's nothing."

"I'll ask Nino later, she definitely knows what affordable sticky ingredients there are."

Seeing the regretful look on Tsukuyomi's face, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately understood what was going on.

Millet grains are not much larger than ordinary sesame seeds.

It's usually used for boiling.

However, cooking it frequently would be a challenge for most people's taste buds.

Ultimately, the taste was just so-so.

Unlike Kyosuke Kousaka and his other partners, he didn't just eat too much of other things and suddenly wanted to change his taste.

Ordinary people have no choice but to eat millet.

The Moon Chaser probably wanted to give ordinary people more options when it comes to eating grains.

Just like rice can be made into braised rice, fried rice, or even a bowl of plain porridge.

In short, the goal is to prevent people from getting tired of the food.

Although it may seem like a small matter, the lives of ordinary people can actually be summarized in the words "clothing, food, housing, and transportation".

Almost everyone does just work, eat, and sleep.

And among all of these, eating is very important.

Especially in this era.

Whether you have enough to eat is one thing, but whether you eat well is another.

At this moment.

The Moon Goddess is concerned about how her followers can eat a little better.

Looks like I'm really going to become the believers' mother!

"Hmm... thank you." After swallowing the food, the Moon Chaser replied vaguely.

"Ah."

Kyosuke Kosaka did not continue his teasing.

The Moon Chaser is thin-skinned and has a proud and arrogant personality.

We can't bully people too much—no, we should say rabbits.

"Will a rabbit bite when cornered...?"

Kyosuke Kousaka then began to think about something else.

Having never been bitten by the Moon Chaser, he believed that this might not happen to him.

Anyway.

Kyosuke Kousaka is not the type to provoke someone who will push them too far.

After finishing the meal.

Kagura tactfully stepped outside, giving Kousaka Kyosuke and Tsukijin a chance to be alone.

Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but focus his gaze on the Moon God's mouth.

Just then, the Moon Chaser's slightly parted pink lips revealed a row of pearly white teeth, exquisite and neat, like a carefully sculpted work of art.

Kyosuke Kosaka was captivated by the alluring gleam of her beautiful teeth, unable to look away.

Suddenly, her pink lips closed tightly.

—The Moon God leaned back slightly, facing Kousaka Kyosuke with an expression of disgust and embarrassment.

"……no!"

"I don't think I said anything."

Kyosuke Kousaka felt wronged.

A huge blunder has been thrown at my head!

Ignoring Kousaka Kyosuke's distress, the Moon Chaser's rabbit ears seemed to possess emotions, tilting back in fear as she retreated.

Uh.

Kyosuke Kousaka was confused.

The rabbit ears are fluffy, white, and soft, making you want to touch them.

Why does it seem to shimmer with a pale light under the lamplight, trembling slightly in the breeze?

Is he really that terrible?

"I really didn't say anything..." Kousaka Kyosuke muttered to himself, emphasizing the point again, before finally saying helplessly, "Then I'll go."

Snapped!

The Moon Goddess instinctively grabbed Kousaka Kyosuke's hand, who was turning around.

Kyosuke Kosaka tried his best to convey his stunned expression: "Eh?"

"If you want to, it's not impossible..."

The Moon Goddess blushed like a ripe peach, red and full, as if it might burst at any moment.

The blush rising on her cheeks was like the first rays of dawn.

The lights made her face even more beautiful.
