Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

In reality, Kyosuke Kousaka just wanted to be intimate with Yukino.

Seeing Yukino's embarrassed expression, he wanted to tease her by saying, "But I didn't say anything!"

However, Kyosuke Kosaka knew very well that doing so was just asking for trouble.

"It's nothing. You go and take care of your mother. It's the right thing to do. Pregnant women really do need to be taken good care of."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at Yukino.

Yukino whispered, "...Come find me later."

"Well, I went to Kyoto Port to help with some things, so..."

"……Um"

Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke's ambiguous words, Yukino's embarrassed face flushed red instantly.

In the end, she quietly agreed.

Since her husband's health was indeed in trouble, she had an obligation to help him.

"I go first."

"You walk slowly."

Yukino quickly suppressed her chaotic emotions and regained her composure.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and nodded, then walked towards the bedroom.

Call ~

Yukino secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it is located at the East Middle Gate, which is close to the sleeping quarters, so there are few outsiders coming and going.

But she was still a little worried.

"Yukino!"

"—?!"

Yukino stiffened and took a half step back.

"Oh dear, I was startled again." Yang Nai jumped out from around a corner with a grin.

Yukino's face was expressionless.

"Sister, it's impolite to make noise here. I hope you'll be mindful of that."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I promise I won't do it again. I just heard from others that Kyosuke-sama seems to have returned."

"...Yes, if you have something to discuss with Lord Kyosuke, now is the time to do so."

"Why now?" Yang Nai tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Yukino didn't say anything and walked straight to the east room.

Her sister was clearly just there to make fun of her; they couldn't continue the conversation.

"If you remember tomorrow, please pick two persimmons for me. I want to eat them."

Seeing her younger sister in a hurry to leave, Yang raised her voice and expressed her small wish.

"……I see."

A faint sound drifted to Yang Nai's ear on the gentle breeze.

Yang Nai looked delighted.

"Yukino is still as cute as ever~"

This era where Yukino doesn't need to grow up is wonderful.

This world is more dangerous than the modern world.

There's nothing wrong with Yukino remaining the same as she is.

Recently, even in the relatively peaceful city of Kyoto, incidents of monsters attacking people have begun to reappear.

Compared to the past, this is nothing.

However, it's really not something I'm used to that things have been quiet for so long before they become chaotic again.

Night fell in the blink of an eye.

Take a bath for half an hour after eating.

Kyosuke Kosaka briefly recounted some of his observations and experiences at Kyoto Port.

After all, even those in plain clothes and simple attire who could frequently go out from the inner palace were not included.

They actually lead a rather monotonous life, going back and forth between two points.

“So, Kyoto is still the safest place then~” Su Chang said matter-of-factly.

She already knew about this.

As you gain more experience and knowledge, you become more familiar with the details.

Just like in the old days.

She probably thinks it shouldn't matter, right?

But when they went outside, they found that the number of evil spirits outside was frighteningly high.

It was only then that I realized the importance of a town or city.

Take, for example, the most typical office of the Water Department.

The newly developed land is getting closer and closer to Qijiao Mountain.

The wild beasts and monsters that used to come by all retreated to the side and never approached again.

Hmm, the prey is getting harder and harder to catch; they've all gone to Seven Horns Mountain.

"That's why it's become very dangerous," Kyosuke Kosaka said.

Su Yi pondered for a moment: "Lord Kyosuke is saying that Kyoto has the largest population, making it easier to attract the attention of evil spirits."

"Yes, actually it's not just evil spirits, there are also some ordinary monsters."

"……Well?"

“You’re different, Zhuiyue. I invited you here.”

"It's nothing, I just came to Kyoto to make a living."

The Moon Chaser didn't seem to mind at all.

Soaking in hot water and leaning against the curved stone backrest, her face was flushed and her eyes were glazed.

His comfortable appearance was obvious.

"Most monsters need spiritual power to grow; otherwise, they will grow slowly and suffer greatly."

“The spiritual energy in Kyoto is very abundant, so even in the suburbs, ordinary yokai can live a better life.”

"It's just that I couldn't sense the aura of that powerful deity for a while..."

The observant Nino exclaimed in surprise, "A powerful deity?"

Kyosuke Kosaka coughed lightly:

"It was just an evil god, and it has already been sealed away."

Komachi blinked; she sensed that Kyosuke Kousaka was hiding something.

Having been to the Minamoto clan's territory, she knew some things.

Seeing that Kyosuke Kosaka was clearly making excuses, the others wisely refrained from discussing the matter further.

The topic quickly shifted to building a port.

"Lord Kyosuke, the foundation of the selected port location is not stable enough and needs to be reinforced."

"The location we chose is a bit far from the Water Department..."

Shizuko kept talking.

Kyosuke Kosaka could see the rather steep curve in front of her.

Even Yukino and Fumino are paying attention.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that their trio was in jeopardy and that he needed to save them.

Actually, he discovered it!

They're quite cute even though they're small!

"Well... if you put it that way, I feel like even the good-natured Fumino would ignore me for days."

"...?!"

Fumina shuddered, a subtle feeling stirring within her.

Why do I always feel like I've suffered some kind of mysterious blow?

Is it an illusion?
