Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 918

If I'm not mistaken, what Ping Weiheng most hopes for is that Kousaka Kyosuke will take someone as a concubine, then take the opportunity to send a substantial apology gift, and then get involved in some kind of relationship, turning a bad thing into a good thing.

This approach is indeed the most conducive to maintaining balance.

Ultimately, in this era, money and food are external things; as long as one is an official, one will not lack them.

Therefore, maintaining good relationships in official circles is more important than anything else.

From this perspective, Ping Weiheng's act of lowering himself to show goodwill is quite correct and understandable.

Assuming nothing unexpected happens, the husband will at least bring these women from the Ping clan to serve as maids.

It's not shameful to talk about a situation like that of a maid in the imperial palace outside.

As Sei Shonagon wrote in "The Pillow Book"—women of certain status should serve in the court, associate with their colleagues, and learn to observe the ways of the world.

Xiangzi doesn't think there's anything wrong with this.

Of course, if you are married, you should be more proper and not make things difficult for your husband.

Let's get back to the main topic.

It's safe to assume that women from the Ping clan will come.

at the same time.

As Kousaka Kyosuke was patrolling around with Kagura, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately felt a strange sensation.

"What's going on? Is it going to be good or bad?"

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered.

With greater strength, the mysterious sixth sense becomes much stronger.

They will have a stronger sense of danger.

However, if it's just a trivial matter, then it's as if it didn't happen at all.

Experienced people like Kyosuke Kosaka simply rely on their familiar experience to do things.

In short, it's idealism.

Unless he encounters a truly terrifying situation, Kyosuke Kousaka will not make any deductions.

Clearly, we haven't encountered any so far.

At most, it just makes people feel a little uneasy and hard to describe.

what is it?

"Kyosuke, I'm a little hungry."

"Then open your mouth."

Kyosuke Kosaka gently stroked Kagura's soft hair.

Her glossy black hair shimmered softly in the sunlight, and her flawless white face made her look adorable from every angle.

The thought of "cultivation" fills me with uncontrollable excitement.

In a few years, the beauty of it will be beyond words.

"what……"

Kagura obediently opened her pale pink lips, her small tongue twitching slightly, quietly waiting for the food to arrive.

Kyosuke Kosaka carefully placed a small piece of pastry into Kagura's mouth.

The image of feeding Miku food kept popping into his head.

"Miku is so bold... No, not just Miku, but Ichika, Nino, Yotsuba, and Itsuki are the same."

As he recalled certain things, a strange emotion welled up inside Kousaka Kyosuke.

He muttered to himself as he carefully fed Kagura.

At this moment.

The two were located in the area between the 8th and 9th main roads of Sakyo. Although there were many noble residences built here, almost none of them were inhabited, and many were even abandoned.

Normally, only a few firemen and guards patrol around to check if any homeless people are lingering here.

As for why no one lives there?

That's because nobles who can afford to build houses here are usually well-off; at most, it's just a temporary place to stay when visiting their wives at night.

Generally speaking, they don't stay there for long.

Then, during this period, news broke that monsters were about to attack, and those who were well-informed would not choose to live near Luocheng Gate.

Ultimately, no one wants to feel like they have too long a life.

Nowadays, nobles mainly reside in the area surrounding the palace.

Unfortunately, even in the past, these locations were prime residences worth millions, highly sought-after and extremely rare.

Those who can possess it are at least descendants of wealthy nobles who were once "extravagant".

Unless someone is so destitute that they have to eat dirt, it's highly unlikely they would sell their home.

Kyosuke, I'm full.

"it is good."

Kyosuke Kosaka then took out a handkerchief and wiped Kagura's mouth.

Kagura raised her little face, always obediently letting Kousaka Kyosuke do as he pleased.

Being pampered by Kyosuke Kosaka filled her heart with sweet happiness, which she felt even more strongly when basking in the warm sunlight.

She longed for things to continue like this forever.

"That's enough of today's act of cuteness. According to Komachi, that's enough points..."

Kagura's secret passage.

Even though she knows that Kyosuke Kousaka likes her a lot, Kagura still wants to keep trying.

So she asked Komachi for advice, and Komachi told her to just act cute appropriately.

Kagura, upon hearing this, naturally chose to do as instructed.

Since Komachi knew Kousaka Kyosuke before Kagura did, Kagura naturally thought that what Komachi, her "senior," said was correct.

In fact, Kagura did believe that her feelings for Kousaka Kyosuke were growing stronger.

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, watching Kagura's satisfied and happy expression as she was fed something, and he felt content as well.

They all had a desire to keep going.

A sudden surge of intense possessiveness arose within him, and Kousaka Kyosuke lowered his head slightly.

Kagura understood and instinctively opened her mouth...

And so began the warm feeling of being enveloped in honey.

A sweet feeling welled up from the inside out, from the depths of her heart, allowing Kagura to experience the beauty of life.

I don't even know how much time has passed.

The transparent view was finally pulled back, and everything was finally over.

While holding the dizzy Kagura, Kousaka Kyosuke gazed at the distant blue sky, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility.

What Suzuka Mountain and what siren?

If you're going to slack off, keep slacking off; if you're going to paddle, keep paddle; if you're going to shiver, keep doing it the same way!

This is life.

His hand landed on Kagura's taut, delicate back, his fingers stroking up and down her smooth spine. Kousaka Kyosuke lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping elsewhere, savoring the beauty of love.

However, a face full of curiosity completely baffled Kousaka Kyosuke!

"—?!"

What, what's going on?

"Kyosuke?"

“...Something is strange.”

Kyosuke Kosaka pointed to the person he suddenly saw.

The person was in a mansion about twenty steps away, and she looked like a young girl.

At that moment, she peeked out from the crack in the door, looking at Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura with a curious expression.

Honestly, Kyosuke Kosaka felt like he had become the protagonist of a horror movie!

Kagura, who had broken free from Kousaka Kyosuke's embrace, looked around, completely bewildered.

"Strange, there's no breath."

"...Yes, it doesn't look like a living person, and it doesn't seem to have any aura."

Kousaka Kyosuke said speechlessly.
