Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

She had forgotten about her husband's excessive desires, which led to her incorrect assumptions.

But it's okay, as long as you don't make the same mistake next time.

As for whether the husband will lose his desire one day?

Yukino always felt that the probability of such a thing happening was... very small.

In short, as Xiangzi said, as long as the husband's desires are not a problem, there is no need to continue to consider other aspects.

Because desires generate energy, and with energy, nothing is a problem.

Then there's no need to continue worrying and causing trouble for others.

"I'm so sorry to have to trouble Mrs. Xiangzi to offer some advice."

Yukino felt ashamed.

Why are you getting so hung up on such a simple question?

She's too weak.

It seems we still need to strengthen ourselves!

Thinking of strengthening, Yukino suddenly remembered Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Kaede, who had often accompanied her during this period.

Yukino found these two girls quite appealing.

They are excellent in both self-reliance and efficient methods.

Even in the modern world, she would be considered an outstanding independent woman.

Therefore, Yukino has a high level of affection for them.

With her husband's relationship with Horikita Suzune confirmed, Yukino's acceptance of Horikita Suzune was further strengthened.

Actually, Yukino was quite understanding of Horikita Suzune's joining the group.

This is about reality, and therefore she views it with a tolerant attitude.

"Lingyin's brother has only recently joined the Prosecutor's Office for Illegal Activities. Compared to others, he has no work experience and no advantage in terms of status, so it would be very difficult for him to get promoted."

Almost a year has passed since the beginning of the Heian period, and Yukino is very different from before.

It is possible to face such a very real problem with equanimity.

Therefore, it is reasonable to understand that it would be more suitable for Lingyin to marry her husband; otherwise, no matter how outstanding her brother's abilities are, he would not have many platforms to utilize them.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Even in the modern world, this principle still applies to many things.

Moreover, this is in an era with an even more rigid hierarchical system.

If it were Yukino from a long time ago, she probably wouldn't deny these things either, because there is a hierarchy system in schools, workplaces, and society.

It's completely impossible to change it.

What I should have done was adapt... but back then I just wasn't willing to adapt.

I want to try to change all of this slowly.

Even if it's just a small step.

However, after arriving in this world, Yukino's thoughts changed.

Because compared to the things she wanted to change before, there are still some harsher realities that require action.

Like this widow village.

Yukino knew very well that helping these women and children who had wandered to Kyoto because they could not survive was far more important than changing humanity or the world.

However, it seems necessary to act within one's means.

And it is very necessary to pay attention to some details that need to be done well.

At least in the matter of building the new village, Yukino encountered several things that made her feel troubled.

She suddenly realized why her husband had allowed Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka to stay by her side.

Because in some matters, her way of handling things is indeed naive.

Yukino still felt lingering fear when she thought about how those seemingly frail widows, who were actually not even thirty years old, were doing their utmost when allocating land and houses.

But she also knew that this was a matter of stance, and could only continue to handle it in a way that she considered fair.

In any case, Yukino was certain that there would be very few people who would care about her in the future.

It doesn't matter.

If we could adapt to it in modern times, how much more so in ancient times?

It must be said that dealing with the problems here is so difficult that it really requires some serious measures.

Yukino still vividly remembers the scene where Kiryuin Kaede used her hand chop to split a piece of wood into several pieces, instantly calming the chaotic situation down.

Afterwards, Yukino was very concerned about whether Kiryuin Fuuka's hand was injured.

However, he was completely relieved after learning that chopping wood was nothing serious.

"I need to go home and get some pastries..."

Passing by her own house, Yukino didn't just ignore it. Instead, she went inside to greet her mother and then skillfully took out some common snacks such as dried fruit and dried fish from the storage room.

She was planning to visit Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka, so naturally she couldn't go empty-handed.

"Hi~"

A lively voice came from behind.

Yukino didn't need to turn around to know it was her older sister, Haruno.

"Yes, sister."

Yukino, who was greeting people, didn't turn around.

Yukino, standing behind Yukino, puffed out her cheeks: "Yukino~ Aren't you going to turn around? If you turn around, you'll find something amazing."

"You mean, I'm about to see a very angry person?"

"I'm not 'very' angry, but I still feel disappointed when I'm ignored."

"I'm sorry, this is my fault."

After tidying up her things, Yukino calmly turned around and apologized to Haruno.

Yang's cheeks were still puffy.

Yukino was speechless, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

Ultimately, her sister's attitude made her physically uncomfortable.

"You're an adult, why are you still acting like this...?"

"I'm still very young~"

As if she could read minds, Yukino knew what Yukino was thinking, and immediately turned her head away and pouted.

He looked like he was "very unhappy".

Yukino's eyelids twitched, and she felt that her older sister was dealing with too many things, so she was too tired to be rational.

Hey~

A sigh.

Yang Nai's previous demeanor vanished completely, and she sighed.

"It's so tiring to talk to you."

"Sister, please don't say what I want to say first." Yukino's eyes were cold.

She couldn't stand her sister becoming more and more like she used to be.

"Alright, I'll leave this pose for others to admire."

"……Well."

Yukino couldn't help but cover her mouth, her face contorted in pain.

Yang Nai looked helpless: "That's enough, my heart is fragile too."

"I'm very sorry, but if you really want to act cute, please choose the right target and don't let innocent people get hurt."

"Your careless words and attitude have broken my heart..."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go visit Suzune and Kaede."

Yukino had already made the move to step out of the storage room.

"Wait a minute, let me ask you a question—wasn't the letter Kyosuke-sama wrote to you very warm?"

"...This is privacy."

"This is for me, for Teacher Jing, and for Dong Shiwen, please put aside your shame."

"……enthusiasm!"

Yukino, her cheeks flushed red again, managed to utter a short sentence before hurriedly leaving the storage room.
