Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1124

Yang Nai also knows how to put herself in others' shoes.

Knowing that she or her sister Yukino were facing difficulties like Iroha Isshiki, Shizuka Hiratsuka would do everything she could to help.

Thinking about all this, Yang found it difficult to get too angry.

Let's leave it at that.

"Waaah—thank you so much, Haruno!"

Still shaken, Hiratsuka Shizuka hugged Haruno.

Yang Nai tried to push Hiratsuka Shizuka away with slight force, speechless. "Thank me for 'not killing you'? Go thank Yukino instead."

Unfortunately, Hiratsuka Shizuka was still sobbing uncontrollably.

Haruno was utterly exhausted. "So this is the kind of 'personality' woman that Kyosuke-sama likes..."

Day 401 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka was invited to a banquet at the Imperial Palace.

He had just found his friend Fujiwara Yukinari when he saw Fujiwara Yukinari suddenly cover his nose with his hand.

"...Is it really necessary?"

"There's a certain smell to it."

The handsome Fujiwara Yukinari looked at a dark-skinned man in the distance with a look of disgust.

The people around him were just like Fujiwara Yuki.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head inwardly. "This means we have to talk about the food you'll be eating from now on... Never mind, I'll get ganged up on. Fertilizer won't be so easy to promote for now."

291. The Person Who Died in the Imperial Household / Sei Shonagon / My Beloved Sister's Friend

They watched as the nobles dressed in various colorful robes around them all uniformly made various ways of avoiding them.

Kyosuke Kosaka still couldn't help but sigh.

Humans have a deep memory of pain.

So, every nobleman must be in great pain right now?

"Really, this person actually came too."

Fujiwara Yukinari was still gritting his teeth.

Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to say, "There's no need for that."

Given that someone is already completely dead, there's no need to say anything more to help.

Unfortunately, Fujiwara Yukinari had no intention of letting him go.

"Um... will it actually work?"

"Yes, it's not that obvious."

When Fujiwara Yukinari asked him something vaguely, Kosaka Kyosuke answered naturally.

He knew that Fujiwara Yukinari was asking about fertilizer.

After all, fertilizer was considered quite filthy by a group of nobles.

Kyosuke Kousaka understands this perfectly.

It always takes time for humans to accept new things.

It would be quite abnormal to accept it all at once.

"that's true."

Hearing Kyosuke Kosaka's affirmative attitude, Yukinari Fujiwara gradually felt relieved.

These days he has heard that some of Yizhou's vassals are actively sending people to take in some Qing officials.

Kiyome works cleaning the streets of Kyoto.

It was destined to be incredibly slovenly; even glancing at it would be a sin.

However, they were still willing to let people recruit them.

How could this not arouse suspicion?

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's hurry to the palace."

Kyosuke Kosaka changed the subject.

Fujiwara Yukinari pouted: "I don't really want to go. How about we just wander around a bit?"

Kyosuke Kousaka looked helpless.

"Sorry, but I have to at least show my face to the Daoist Master this time."

I haven't seen my boss in a long time, so I'm just trying to make my presence known.

Also, stop acting like a girl who's sulking.

Otherwise, he would have a hard time controlling his fists.

"Please, act like a man, okay?" Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

"I'll put in a good word for you afterward. Besides, you won't have a chance to say anything back then. Everyone was looking to show off, and it wouldn't be good if you attracted any attention."

"Your aversion to uncleanliness is quite abnormal."

Kyosuke Kousaka was utterly speechless.

The rejected person, namely the higher-ranking faithful, is not actually covered in anything.

Why resort to such a humiliating act?

To be honest, Kyosuke Kousaka really didn't want to go there.

"Look at them, aren't they doing the same thing? Maybe it's better if we don't go over there."

Fujiwara Yukinari pointed to the many nobles wandering around the palace's official residences, a mysterious smile on his face.

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered deeply.

"The direction Gao Shanxin was heading was towards the palace where the banquet was being held. His ability to get there must be related to Yi Zhou. Whatever the reason, it definitely shows that Yi Zhou wanted to show off..."

Yes, showing off.

Knowing full well that a large number of people in the court disliked Gao Jiexinyi, Yi Zhou still did this.

Isn't this just showing off one's power?

It's practically like saying, "I'm going to do it this way, so just bear with it."

Isn't this just a way of demonstrating power?

Of course.

Perhaps it was because Yi Zhou was kind-hearted and thought that Takashiro Nobuyoshi, a relative of his maternal clan, had at least worked hard even if he hadn't done anything meritorious, so he couldn't treat him too unfairly and thus did this.

The possibility is not low.

However, in Kyosuke Kosaka's opinion, whatever the reason, this is definitely going to ruin his image.

Let's get back to the main topic.

His decision not to go, along with that of Fujiwara Yukinari, can be seen as a way of expressing an attitude.

Well, it's a passable way to deal with it.

"Alright, let's go for a look around."

Kyosuke Kousaka, having quickly assessed the favorable situation, didn't hesitate much.

Fujiwara Yukinari laughed and said, "You're quick-witted."

"No, I'm far inferior to you. If I were to actually work in the imperial court, I would be destined to be trampled underfoot."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your abilities are comparable to those of a lieutenant general, and I am completely outmatched."

"...When did your mouth become so sharp?"

Kyosuke Kosaka's face darkened.

Lieutenant General, namely Yuan Yeping.

Anyone who has received compulsory education in Japan knows this famous singer.

Putting aside the high quality of his waka poems, his impressive battle record, which may or may not be exaggerated, is truly remarkable.

— 3733.

When Kyosuke Kosaka thought about that number, he felt that his personality had been severely trampled on.

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

“I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart,” Fujiwara Yukinari said sincerely.

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled and said, "It's precisely because it's from the heart that it's even more hurtful. You have to understand that the most hurtful words in the world are the truth."

"That's not necessarily true; the truth can be the most beautiful love confession."
