At the very least, Kyosuke Kousaka won't lose his temper over trivial matters.
No, I never lost my temper with them at all.
Regardless of anything else, Komachi firmly believes in Kousaka Kyosuke's character and integrity!
at the same time.
When Kousaka Kyosuke, who was about to go see Fujishibu, had finished chatting with his father-in-law Fujiwara Tameshiro and brother-in-law Fujiwara Koreki, he almost sneezed.
He doesn't know which partner is thinking of him so deeply, but he wants to respond to them.
Especially because of the red thread of fate that brought him together during this period, Kyosuke Kousaka is sometimes able to sense certain things about his partner more clearly.
"The emotions are so intense that we need to wait until things calm down before carefully identifying who it is, and then patiently accompany and comfort them. If possible, we should provide assistance..."
Kousaka Kyosuke thought.
He quickly brushed aside his thoughts and continued to smile at Fujiwara no Tametoki.
"Lord Weishi, please feel free to speak your mind. Let me and Weigui observe and learn from you?"
"...Lord Kyosuke, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but even though I'm old now, I still want to do my part for the court."
Fujiwara understood the meaning behind Kousaka Kyosuke's words and expressed his thoughts with a wry smile.
Upon hearing this, Kousaka Kyosuke showed an expression of admiration: "As expected of Lord Toki, he still thinks of serving the court at all times..."
He thought to himself, "Father-in-law, you really have a lot of energy. Wouldn't it be better to just chat with others, boast, or recite poetry?"
It's important to understand that doing important things can easily lead to disputes.
That would be terrible if I were scammed by someone else.
It would be better to be like Father-in-law of the Earth and hold a sinecure.
Well, I overestimated Fujiwara no Tametoki's father-in-law. I didn't expect him to be like other nobles who liked to slack off and do nothing.
This looks substandard no matter how you look at it.
In Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes, a proper nobleman should know how to slack off and, ideally, do nothing at all.
"Father, please don't overwork yourself."
Fujiwara no Koreyuki was quite helpless.
After talking with him, he understood that Kousaka Kyosuke wanted his father to take up an official position in the imperial court, which naturally made him very happy.
After all, the influence of having one person in the imperial court as an official is extraordinary.
I believe that once the news of my father becoming an official spreads, this door will soon be overcrowded with people.
Who knows, my father might even be actively introduced to concubines, so I'd better be careful... That would be a real headache.
Having already envisioned what the situation would be like, Wei Gui is actively making various preparations.
"Actually, you are still young, so the knowledge you have painstakingly studied over the years should not be wasted."
"Over the years, I have indeed devoted myself to studying, hoping to manage the local environment and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment..."
For some reason, Fujiwara no Tametoki fell into an inexplicable state of sainthood.
Kyosuke Kosaka was utterly speechless.
"Please, Father-in-law, just go and live your own life. Don't worry about the other people."
The so-called "common people" are really not so easy to manage in this era.
Ultimately, in this era of scarce resources and impoverished and harsh conditions, it is very difficult to expect ordinary people to maintain a simple and honest social atmosphere.
If we're being serious, the "common people" in the world of Onmyoji can be considered villains in a certain sense.
For example, the divine messenger Huang was directly beaten by those simple and honest people of the underworld, and finally drowned in a pig cage as a sacrifice.
And there's also the Aoandon that Kousaka Kyosuke is familiar with.
Aoandon, who was originally a human, just liked to tell stories, but was regarded as a weirdo and was eventually burned along with her treasured books.
Itsumade is also a good example.
Even the monsters were terrified of human fighting prowess because of the golden feathers.
It's truly speechless.
Who else?
Oh, there are countless "commoners" who were bewitched by the former lord of Kyohara Castle to kill Shiranui, who bewitched Yaobikuni to eat mermaid flesh, who used Miketsu as a wish-granting machine...
While there are some good people, unfortunately, the number of bad people seems to be much larger.
Kyosuke Kosaka was in charge of law enforcement, so he had naturally witnessed just how wicked some people could be when they were truly malicious.
Therefore, managing these cunning people is not a simple task.
"In fact, this is the goal of many adults, but unfortunately, the scarcity of resources in the world always makes it extremely difficult..."
Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.
Let's put out the fire now.
He was genuinely worried that his father-in-law's dream of undertaking a great undertaking would result in a rebellion.
Yes, it was a rebellion.
Despite the seemingly stable rule of the imperial court in this era, various troubles still arose.
It all comes down to scale.
Just like in a country where powerful local warlords held sway, sometimes even the name of the Fujiwara clan had little deterrent effect.
"Haha, yes, I understand that too, so let's just let things take their natural course."
Fujiwara sighed upon hearing what Kousaka Kyosuke said.
He is not stupid.
They are well aware of just how difficult it is to ensure that people can live and work in peace and contentment.
"Lord Toki's attitude right now is something that Yuki and I should learn from," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a timely smile.
Well, it seems I was overthinking it; Fujiwara no Tomotoki's mind is still quite clear.
That's it.
It's better to continue having parties with friends, reciting poetry, and chatting.
Another half hour passed.
Kousaka Kyosuke then took Fuji Shikibu back to their residence.
On the way, Kyosuke Kosaka felt a little more at ease, knowing that his father-in-law, Fujiwara no Tametoki, who seemed to be acting "passionately," actually didn't have much enthusiasm for governing.
I guess he just wanted to show off and satisfy his vanity.
That's alright. If there were really that so-called sincerity, and a series of chaotic actions, even Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't know if he would just explode on the spot.
"Studying hard through the cold night, tears soaked my clothes. My father-in-law is a very formidable man..."
Inside the oxcart, Kousaka Kyosuke praised Fujishige's father, continuing to cultivate goodwill towards him.
Even if the favorability rating is already at its maximum.
"Just as you said, my father was also a person who was good at studying."
Fujishikibu responded softly.
Kousaka Kyosuke smiled, raised his hand and gently grasped Fuji Shikibu's hand. Their eyes met, and a tacit understanding was conveyed without words.
"It seems that the daughter is smarter."
Kousaka Kyosuke muttered to himself, his mind already on visiting the homes of Kaori, Fumino, Toyomi Chika, and Moeha in the next few days. Once he finished those things, the events surrounding the Suzuka Mountain Battle in Kyoto would be mostly over, and then he and Princess Goldfish would head out to sea…
250. Home visits by Kaori, Fumino, and the Fujiwara sisters / requests and polite refusals
Day 352 of crossing
Kyosuke Kosaka is going to Kaori's place this time.
A horse-drawn carriage also accompanied them.
The person sitting in the carriage was none other than Naoki Goto, Pochi's father.
She is a person as amazing as Boqi Jiang.
What's so amazing about it?
That's probably because there are always people in the dormitory looking for him but can't find him.
It's probably because that subtle presence makes people easily overlook it subconsciously.
However, they did a good job in everything they did, at least they didn't make any mistakes.
Therefore, his reputation within the dormitory is quite good.
After this war, Kyosuke Kosaka also promoted him.
Because of his background, he actually had a much easier time getting promoted than Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, and others.
