Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 982

Boqi-chan felt her stiff body suddenly become warm and hot, as if her soul was melting!

She felt the gentle breeze on her face and almost forgot to breathe—

Half an hour later.

Kyosuke Kousaka left with Kagura, Sagiri, and Yotsuba Itsuki.

Komachi, Moeha, Megumi, Sakayanagi Arisu, and Goto Jiri were still discussing enthusiastically.

"It's so much better than my sister's song! Sister, you have to work harder to catch up with Kyosuke-sama!" Goto Jiri said excitedly.

Compared to the pieces that his older sister often played, Kyosuke Kosaka's playing clearly had a unique flavor.

Goto Jiri really likes it!

And she hoped her older sister could do it too, so she could listen to it more often.

"Kyosuke is just starting out..."

Boqi-chan shed tears again, this time the tears of a true loser.

She had previously thought that as long as she performed normally, she would definitely not be weaker than Kousaka Kyosuke.

It turned out that I was still too presumptuous.

"Poch-chan, Kyosuke-sama started learning music when he was young, so it's no wonder he can master other unfamiliar instruments so quickly and surpass you immediately."

After thinking about it, Mengye decided to comfort Boqi-chan.

Pochi is so much fun!

It can't just break like this!

“Yes, yes,” Komachi continued, picking up where Moeha left off, “Kyosuke-sama often used the phrase ‘drawing inferences from one instance to another,’ and he definitely fits that description!”

Hui nodded gently: "Poch-chan, don't be too discouraged. As long as you can surpass yourself, that is the greatest progress."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and said, "I think the first thing to do is to get rid of stage fright."

"Wow!!"

Pochi-chan collapsed back onto the straw mat as if she had been struck by a heavy blow.

"At least don't always end up in that fainting, almost dead state," her younger sister, Goto Jiri, muttered.

"Wow--"

Boqi-chan, who had been lying down, arched her entire body again, just like an electric fish.

Everyone else was used to it.

Goto Jiri sighed inwardly.

"Can my sister still marry Lord Kyosuke? I've given up hope... Maybe she should just stay home and I'll take care of her."

Yes, this time there was really no other way.

Goto Niri never expected that her sister would still act the same way when she saw Kousaka Kyosuke. Kousaka Kyosuke just smiled, not minding at all, and didn't say anything.

However, in Goto Jiri's view, Kousaka Kyosuke definitely regarded his older sister as a very special Tsuchiko snake, no, he protected her.

Protect endangered species.

Under such circumstances, how could any feelings possibly develop?

Then, let her take on the responsibility of her sister's future!

—Goto Jisato made up his mind.

Sakayanagi Arisu, however, did not share the same thoughts as Goto Jiri.

In her opinion, Kyosuke Kosaka was being too kind to Pochi-chan!

"I can remember even fragmented and seemingly chaotic pieces of music very accurately; I don't think it was just something I memorized randomly."

Yes, Sakayanagi Arisu recognized that the piece Kousaka Kyosuke played the second time was the same one that Pochi-chan had played before.

Unfortunately, Boqi-chan underperformed; her playing sounded more like random, random strumming, which was quite unsettling.

Even though Sakayanagi Arisu listens to music frequently in modern times and has basic music appreciation skills, she still made a careful discovery.

What's even more surprising is that Kyosuke Kousaka values ​​Pochi-chan so much.

It's hard for her not to overthink it.

"Alright, alright, Pochi-chan, keep up the good work!" Komachi placed her hands on Goto Jiri's small shoulders as she hugged Jimi-hen, and gently comforted Pochi-chan with a smile.

"Yes, I definitely will..."

"Trying hard to stay awake, Pochi-chan said with a determined look on her face."

At the very least, she needs to play the guitar normally in front of Kyosuke Kosaka.

After all, Pochi-chan knew that the previous performance was extremely unpleasant. She was even afraid that Kousaka Kyosuke would angrily slam his fist on the table and stand up, with samurai appearing behind him to drag her out and behead her.

But once she came to her senses, Pochi realized that such a thing was simply impossible.

Because she gradually realized that Kyosuke Kousaka was not that kind of person.

"Kyosuke-sama... is very gentle and kind. He speaks softly and loves to laugh. He's really nice."

The thought of Kyosuke Kosaka playing the piece she had just composed so earnestly warmed Bochi-chan's heart.

It feels so good to know that you're being noticed.

It turns out she wasn't underestimated after all.

No, she must overcome her own difficulties and prevent today's "tragedy" from happening again.

"Oh, is it Yotsuba-neechan back again?"

"Yes, because I'm going to see Mom~ I'm also passing on a message to Kyosuke-sama about Pochi-chan~"

"what?!"

Goto Jiri's eyes widened. "Is there still hope?!"

When Boqi was mentioned, her body stiffened and her eyes widened, as if she had heard something terrifying.

Moeha and Komachi stood behind Pochi-chan, reaching through her arms to support her.

The scene looked like a criminal being interrogated.

That's not actually the case.

Moeha and Komachi had anticipated this and were therefore prepared to prevent Pochi from collapsing again.

"W-what...Does Lord Kyosuke have any instructions for me?" Pochi asked hesitantly.

She wanted to kneel down to accept the order, but found that she was already being "detained" like a prisoner.

She is indeed guilty.

Does he have to commit seppuku?

It hurts so much. No, for her father, mother, and sister Jimmy Heng, she has to endure that pain.

If she confesses, then everyone will be spared from her influence, right?

“Poch-chan has fallen into a strange state again…” Yotsuba said helplessly. “Anyway, here’s what happened—Kyosuke-sama wants you to join the band at Arakawa Mizubuji’s manor. They have members with a unique style, and he said you’d be a good match for them.”

"The band—?!"

Pochi-chan cried out, her voice trembling, sounding almost like a scream.

Moeha was surprised: "I didn't expect that Kyosuke-sama still cares about Pochi-chan."

She knew it very well.

If you don't care, you won't get much attention.

Since the husband is interfering in Boqi's affairs, it means he cares about Boqi.

"So, does that mean Pochi-chan is going to be with Lady Suyi and Lady Sushang?" Komachi rested her chin on her hand, looking thoughtful.

Hui said, "I've heard that the band at the manor is really talented, so it's not surprising that Boqi-chan was able to join."

Sakayanagi Arisu laughed and said, "Like I said before, Pochi-chan needs to perform at her normal level."

"This one……"

Hui stared speechlessly at Pochi-chan, who appeared to have fainted, as Moe-ha and Komachi struggled to lift her up. She didn't know what to say.

"Kyosuke-sama is very concerned about Pochi-chan's physical and mental health, but isn't this treatment a bit too intense?"

She immediately understood the general situation.

That means the husband probably wanted to help Boqi-chan.

But is it really possible to do this?

For the first time, Megumi, who had been observing Pochi's behavior closely, expressed doubt about her husband's abilities.

Even Komachi and Moeha had the same idea.

The only one who's different on the field is probably Goto Jiri!

Goto Niri almost wanted to cheer.
