Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

There's no problem with food, but planting might cause a major setback.

"Furthermore, the spiritual power given by the evil god is too high. I suspect that the land in the manor is likely unsuitable for growing crops, and many plots of land are unsuitable for growing crops."

"Ah! Yes!!"

"We'll try to plant some of them using various conditions first, and then combine them with the spirit rice we've selected. That way, the success rate might be higher."

“Hmm, those conditions are quite high. Should we ask Lord Kyosuke if he has any way to solve this problem? If it's just a small plot of land with the conditions to grow the evil god's spirit rice, then it shouldn't be difficult,” Chitanda suggested.

Shizuko hummed in agreement: "Yes, there really isn't a problem with that."

A strange feeling welled up inside me as I spoke.

how to say?

She immediately noticed that Chitanda's dependence on Kousaka Kyosuke had increased significantly.

Are they already this inseparable after only being close for a short time?

Shizuko really wanted to complain.

Chitanda was oblivious to all this, thinking to herself, "If I make a request to Kyosuke-sama every now and then, he seems to be very happy..."

"We'll talk about this later. I've just figured out some new varieties of radishes that are easier to grow in winter."

"That's great! In that case, we'll have to replace the radishes in the old house too."

"Isn't someone living in the old house?" Shizuko thought with mixed feelings.

She would occasionally visit the old house, and each time she saw it, she was filled with emotion.

She was so thin and frail when she first came in, you could see her bones, but now she's become quite "plump".

But her husband still said she was too thin. She felt fine, saying she didn't have much fat on her belly.

Suddenly remembering some things that had happened not long ago, Shizuko subconsciously squeezed her legs together.

At this moment, Chitanda spoke up.

“The practitioners over there take good care of the vegetables and flowers in their courtyards. If you give them radish seeds, they will definitely take good care of them.”

"Hey, Eru, have you forgotten? They're just temporary residents staying there, you know?"

“…Huh?” Chitanda’s eyes widened.

Suddenly, she immediately remembered that the people who lived in the old house didn't have much to do with them.

Giving seeds of a new variety of radish so hastily is indeed very inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, I didn't even think of that!"

"No, that's understandable, after all, we're living in an old house." Shizuko added in her mind, still thinking, "It's a woman."

If she hadn't known that Kousaka Kyosuke had almost never paid any attention to the nuns in the old house, and hadn't personally witnessed Su-i merely instructing Yang-nai to send someone inside to deliver food, she would have been completely different.

She may have genuinely regarded the people in the old house as beings like herself.

"I don't know why, but whenever I see Kyosuke-sama with a woman, I always feel like that woman has some kind of relationship with him..."

Shizuko wondered if she was being too "biased" towards Kyosuke Kousaka.

However, given the various treatments she often receives from Kyosuke Kousaka, it's hard for her not to develop strange ideas.

For example, Kyosuke Kousaka has actually become interested in nuns??

This isn't fun, is it?

Fortunately, that's probably not the case.

"The lady in plain clothes is somewhat dissatisfied with these nuns, probably because it cost a lot of money to rebuild their temple."

Shizuko then thought of other things.

Because she often went to the Water Department in Arakawa with Suyi, Shizuko knew a little about Suyi.

Su Yi is a dignified, poised, and elegant traditional woman who always maintains a graceful demeanor.

Aside from perhaps a little something in matters of the bedroom... in short, she's perfect in every way.

—A skilled homemaker!

This is the best compliment Jingzi could give to Su Yi.

I think everyone probably thinks the same way, right? No one in the bedchamber was dissatisfied with the plain clothes.

However, it was precisely because of this that Su Yi became even more diligent and concerned about the internal affairs of the mansion, and naturally disliked the nun who suddenly consumed a large sum of money from the mansion.

Shizuko knew very well that this was an undeserved disaster.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Afterwards, the two intended to skip the topic, but they happened to run into Yang Nai and, upon hearing that they were preparing to deliver food to the old house, they couldn't help but go over.

The two also did not return to their old house for some time.

Even just a glance would be nice.

"I'll go too," said Yaodao-hime, who also missed the old house very much.

The white wolf was even more tempted.

Yang Nai was slightly taken aback when she saw this scene. Was this a group going to go over?

Su Chang, who had come to join the fun, also arrived later...

The result was a scene of a group of people heading to the old house.

"Huh? Why are there merchants selling things here?" Walking along the road, Su Chang looked curiously at the girl walking gracefully ahead.

The girl held a deer-shaped staff and carried a large pile of bags on her back that looked like both tattered junk and merchandise.

There was also a little cat wearing a bell on the bag, looking around.

"I am the God of Bonds, and Lord Ara has asked me to solve the problem of the Onmyoji Kyosuke."

A gentle and peaceful voice came from the mouth of the quiet and elegant young girl.

The girl had many red ropes tied around her head, and the two strands of hair that fell over her shoulders were tied with a red rope. There were also two bells jingling, making her look very strange.

At this moment, she calmly looked at the group of people, her demeanor and bearing exceptionally refined.

Gu~~

Su Chang, who had been wearing a happy expression, froze, staring at the girl's stomach, and remained motionless...

179. Silly God, Ragged God / Inside Mother's Room / Restored / Taken In

"..."

Silence, facing each other on all sides.

No, it wasn't just one pair of eyes staring intently at the stomach of the girl who called herself "the Goddess of Fate".

Instead, there are countless pairs.

"The old umbrella and the large package on her back filled with many things... she really looks like a city girl who collects junk."

Jingzi couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Shizuko was naturally very worried about her husband's injuries.

Despite constantly complaining, her husband continues to tirelessly engage in lewd activities.

"Haha... Since Huang Nan asked me for a favor, I had no choice but to pack my bags and come over."

The God of Fate patted his belly naturally and said without blushing or skipping a beat.

Su Chang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You're too kind. Please come in and rest for a while, and have some pastries."

"You've given me a boost! I really am hungry from the journey. How about some red bean cake? If you don't have red bean cake, anything else will do! I'm not picky!"

"Yes, we have red bean cakes, and other delicious things too, like meat and fresh fish. Please come in."

"Slurp... I'm so sorry to have you treat me so warmly."

The god of fate waved his hand as if to say "there's no need for that," but reflexively offered a slight concession.

She's so hungry she's practically starving to death.

"Then Yang Nai, I'll leave this matter to you," Su Chang said again.

Yang bowed his head and accepted the order, feeling quite puzzled.

how to say?

Is this city girl who collects rags really a matchmaker spirit?

Judging from the title, it should be a deity related to "marriage". If it is true, then it is very down-to-earth.
