Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 743

There's no need to travel around.

Kyoto is often plagued by various disturbances, so staying at home is the best option.

The mansion is quite large, and the activity area is no different from a park. In your spare time, you can plant some flowers, trees and shrubs and play with the children. There's nothing wrong with that.

What Komachi's mother was thinking about, someone was already doing.

However, they weren't planting flowers, grass, or trees, but rather special plants.

"Linen, basket, change the water once a day..." Yotsuba read aloud from the book.

Ichika had already picked up her tools and started working according to the instructions.

May watched the two of them intently.

Nino and Miku were both reading.

"We don't need to grow so many bean sprouts; it's such a waste if we can't finish them all."

"Judging by the amount, it should be possible to finish processing it in one day in May."

"...That's so unfair!"

May expressed a slight dissatisfaction with Miku for suddenly hitting her.

Miku: "That's true. Speaking of which, why did we grow bean sprouts?"

"It's refreshing, tastes good, and is also very nutritious, so why not plant it?" May explained earnestly.

Nino: "The reason is that you want to eat it."

May puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything.

Miku added wistfully, "I've eaten it before, but we planted too many, which led to it being on the dinner table for three consecutive days, and then it gradually disappeared from the dinner table..."

Nino's lips twitched slightly.

"I never expected that Eru and Shizuko would also have children back then."

Since bean sprouts don't exist in this era, it's best not to give them to outsiders to avoid causing trouble.

As a result, the people in the sleeping quarters took care of it. Everyone had already divided the food into portions, which put a lot of pressure on everyone.

This led to a situation where, for a long time, and even now, no one has mentioned bean sprouts.

“Now everyone should have forgotten about it,” Ichika said.

Nino looked at Ichika suspiciously: "You seem very enthusiastic."

Yi Hua smiled slightly.

"What are you thinking about? I don't really like reading, wouldn't it be boring if I didn't do these things?"

"Oh, then good luck..."

Nino, who doubted that she was overthinking things, offered a word of encouragement apologetically.

"Huh? Where's the book?" Miku suddenly muttered to herself, searching everywhere.

Nino casually remarked, "It might have been left in the sleeping quarters."

"I'll look for it again..."

Miku searched everywhere.

After a while, Miku, unable to find the book, went to her bedroom.

Watching Miku's departing figure, Ichika sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Miku went straight to her room.

Kyosuke Kousaka was already sitting in the room.

"...made some pastries, red bean cakes."

"Oh, I'll give it a try."

Seeing that Miku used a red thread to contact him and ask him out, Kyosuke Kousaka naturally felt obligated to come over.

Now that I know it's a sample, I naturally ate it without hesitation.

"...The shape is a bit irregular."

"It's okay! The important thing is love! As long as there is love, this red bean cake will taste delicious!" After saying that, Kousaka Kyosuke took a big piece of red bean cake, which looked more like a rice ball, and started eating it.

At the same time, I feel that Qingji's lines are getting better and better!

Just by saying that, Miku's cheeks turned red.

He felt he couldn't lie too much about things like taste, so he used some mysterious, psychologically-driven excuses.

He wasn't afraid of even a "safe skull".

He is immune to all poisons!

—The texture was sticky and slightly bitter, but thankfully there was a hint of sweetness to comfort us.

Overall, OK!

"Sure, but don't spend too much time preparing food for me unless you're really interested."

Kyosuke Kousaka gave a thumbs-up to the nervous Miku and casually remarked something.

He can spend an average of two days with each spouse without any problems.

He doesn't care what his spouse wants to do in their spare time; he just hopes they can be happy.

Kyosuke Kousaka is indifferent to those who want to help or pursue their own interests, like Haruno, and is quite supportive of them.

We're all people of the modern world now.

Each person has their own independent thoughts and values; it's impossible for them to revolve around one person every day.

People like Fujishikibu and Susho Suki are all very independent.

Of course, if someone is too clingy like Kagura or Komachi, then there's nothing you can do.

“Interested! If you’d like to eat it, Kyosuke-sama…” Miku looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with sparkling eyes.

His dark blue eyes seemed to flow like an endless blue sea, very bright.

Kyosuke Kosaka could feel those rays of light that were even more dazzling than the sun.

"No problem. Occasionally, you should play games with me, read books, or discuss interesting historical stories like those of Taira no Masakado."

I didn't mean to object.

When you're in a relationship, it's perfectly normal to eat some of your partner's food.

Miku's cooking was alright, but the taste was a bit strange and the presentation wasn't very appealing. I hope she can improve it in the future.

Who knows, she might become a great chef like Nino.

"I will, thank you for taking such good care of me..." Miku said slowly, her seemingly calm face gradually revealing a gentle and charming expression.

Kyosuke Kosaka was tempted, but still smiled and explained:

"You can take care of me too."

"Ok!"

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke was slightly taken aback, staring blankly as Miku deftly took off her light blue, patternless coat.

He quickly realized what he meant and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant, isn't that how all couples care for and look after each other?"

Although he was stopping Miku from continuing, he still managed to hug her.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself, "I can satisfy my lower body anytime, but I need to take care of my mental health. Speaking of which, Miku is a bit withdrawn. What if she becomes socially anxious because of mental health issues?"

Miku felt the warm embrace and remained quiet, not saying a word.

She was a little shy.

I thought Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to eat... Turns out it really was what his mouth said.

Wasn't she being too bold?

If Kyosuke Kousaka could hear Miku's true feelings, he would definitely say she was overthinking it.

All five sisters are very bold, okay?

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Feeling that the time had been a bit long, Miku took her leave, and Kousaka Kyosuke said goodbye with a smile.

I was thinking to myself that I should be able to add more recipes in the future.

Whatever, as long as the food is cooked, it's fine.

Miku felt a little flustered when she returned to the east room.

But at least he managed to maintain a calm demeanor.

Even though the five sisters want everything to be divided equally among them, there are some things that cannot be said.

Yes, she really did go to get the book.
