Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

This is a good thing! (Buddha)

Even if it has nothing to do with his partners, Kyosuke Kousaka will still treat people with a strong skill kindly.

"Spin, spin, spin~ Let's dance~"

Hiroi Kikuri started dancing again, oblivious to her surroundings.

Although his dance moves were stiff and not very smooth, Kousaka Kyosuke felt quite comfortable watching Hiroi Kikuri's adorable appearance.

Okay, from now on we'll treat this wine bottle as a lucky charm.

Time flew by, and the singing ended.

Hiroi Kikuri's tears streamed down her cheeks, and younger viewers like Princess Kaguya and Princess Goldfish also had their eyes glistening with tears.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't bring himself to criticize Kikuri Hiroi for singing such a melancholic song.

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.

But he still had empathy and knew that Kikuri Hiroi was singing according to her own feelings, which was naturally not wrong.

"I'm thirsty, Lord Kyosuke, please grant me another pot of wine..."

Hiroi Kikuri wiped away her tears and looked longingly at Kosaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka gestured to a low table not far from her, and with a casual wave of his hand, he moved the wine and dishes onto the low table.

"Thank you!"

Hiroi Kikuri thanked him happily and quickly knelt down in front of the low table to eat and drink heartily, showing no trace of her earlier sadness.

In contrast, the audience was more or less frustrated.

Could this be what's called an "emotional dumping ground"?

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered secretly.

"Hey, Kiku, can't you sing something a little happier?" Su Chang rarely showed such helplessness.

She thought to herself, since she sings so well, she shouldn't sing songs that are too sad.

Even though I can't understand any of the lyrics, it sounds great.

I just don't really want to listen to it again after listening to it once.

"Haha, sorry, I just felt like saying it. Because I was taken in by Kyosuke-sama, I just wanted to pour out all the unhappiness I had accumulated."

Hiroi Kikuri smiled sheepishly.

Having witnessed too much tragedy and depression in this world, I feel that my life is pretty much over.

Unexpectedly, my luck turned around and I was taken in. I have to put in my utmost effort to showcase my singing skills.

Then I can only sing what I'm best at, but unfortunately, my own songs are all pretty bad... so there's nothing I can do about it.

"Isn't it enough to sing well?" Kousaka Kyosuke lightly tapped Su Chang's head.

Su Chang chuckled, her helpless expression instantly vanishing.

This perfectly illustrates what it means to "come quickly and go quickly".

"That's a real treasure," Yanyanluo chuckled.

Aoandon said, "Yes, she is an excellent singer."

Upon hearing this, Kikuri Hiroi's entire body seemed to melt, and a look of happiness appeared on her face.

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless. Was this some kind of "burial"?

So easily flattered.

Soon after, the atmosphere created by Hiroi Kikuri's song gradually dissipated, and the group ate, drank, and chatted, and time passed by.

Incidentally, we also got to eat bean sprouts and pickled cabbage.

The creators are Aoandon and Shiranui.

Sunset.

Hiroi Kikuri, who was assigned to stay at the manor, wandered around the area.

She was not restricted in her freedom and could move around normally.

So she wandered around the small town, not afraid of strangers, and even introduced herself and greeted them.

"Kyosuke-sama and his wives have all gone back. I wonder when they'll want to hear me sing again and keep giving me drinks..."

Hiroi Kikuchi muttered to herself.

She was a heavy drinker and couldn't feel right without a drink every day.

However, she still had some self-awareness.

Knowing that alcohol is a luxury in this era, she would only ask for it at work, and would not ask for it at other times.

I just want to give her a bite to eat.

Suddenly, she spotted two familiar figures.

"Hey, isn't that Senior and Hongxia?"

"You're here too..."

Xingge, who was shopping with her younger sister, looked completely bewildered.

Why is this female college student here too?

Hongxia's expression was even more subtle: "Kikuri-neechan, why do you smell of alcohol..."

"Could he have secretly drunk it?" Xingge pulled Hongxia back a step.

Kikuri Hiroi stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug.

"No way! I was taken in by Kyosuke-sama because I sing well enough. He said he could try to make me a guitar, a bass, and if all else fails, he'll make me a biwa. My future is bright, hahaha..."

"..."×2

Xingge and Hongxia looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their expressions all seemed to say, "Is this drunkard going on a drunken rampage?"

However, Hoshika, who knew Hiroi Kikuri quite well, did not believe she was lying.

He was immediately moved.

"Although I am a retired guitarist, I am actually capable of returning to my old profession."

"Hehehe, the senior is begging me..."

Hiroi Kikuri laughed triumphantly.

Xingge's forehead veins bulged, and she felt a fire burning fiercely in her chest; she was about to explode.

Hold on, hold on!

If this junior wasn't lying, it means she's of a higher status than her, so a lesson wouldn't be appropriate.

I should try to coax them first and see if I can get myself to join in.

It's always good to be able to live a better life in this era.

I can't let my sister continue to suffer with her.

"Kikuri-neechan is really something, she gets like this whenever she's feeling smug," Hongxia said helplessly.

Just like in modern times, this person who always goes to his sister's shop to freeload drinks hasn't changed at all.

Hiroi Kikuri, who had been complained about to Nijika's face, immediately came to her senses.

She looked apologetically at Xingge.

"I don't know if Kyosuke-sama can actually make a guitar or bass or anything like that. I'll tell you when he does. I just won over Kyosuke-sama and his wives with my singing..."

The more Hiroi Kikuri talked, the more she felt the magic within.

Then he simply told Xingge and Hongxia about the amazing experiences he had had all day.

She had been fleeing with the civilians when she suddenly fell behind and fainted from hunger by the bushes. Then, a fragrant multigrain pancake was thrown beside her. Almost thinking it was a deity, she hurriedly asked for some wine as well.

Well, that's how things unfolded...

Looking back, it really is amazing.

Hoshika and Nijika listened in bewilderment, and Hiroi Kikuri's situation, which was like a miraculous encounter, almost made them think it was all made up.

However, after seeing how well Hiroi Kikuri was treated by the guests, they had no choice but to believe it.

Day 314 of crossing

It's raining again today.

Knowing that the construction of the village and the cultivation of crops in the suburbs would be delayed again, Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head inwardly.

Then, Yukino was invited to go to the Water Department to learn about some things.

Despite the rainy weather, the two sisters, dressed in plain clothes and simple attire, would still take Shizuko and Chitanda to the Water Department.

Su Yi was in charge of some estate affairs, while Su Chang often helped run errands.
