Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Suddenly, an uncontrollable scream rang out.

A drop of water drifted past his eyes and landed on Kyosuke Kousaka's lips.

Kousaka Kyosuke was stunned.

Almond flavor...

Day 234 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka left home early.

In front of the fruit and vegetable garden, Su Chang looked on with curiosity.

"Was it just you and Oitsuki yesterday, Lord Kyosuke?"

The person being questioned was Shizuko.

The Moon Chaser God also went out early.

Shizuko nodded awkwardly: "...It's just me and Tsuki."

"Are two people enough?" Su Chang asked with concern.

The white wolf's charming face showed envy as she whispered:

"I want to join too..."

They're all Kyosuke-sama's shikigami, so it'd be better if they served each other together.

Yaodao-hime remained silent, acting like a block of wood as always.

When faced with something she finds difficult to talk about, she stops speaking.

"...Nothing really happened."

"Ah? Then Kyosuke-sama must be really bored! I have to go find him!"

Despite not knowing what had happened, Su Chang felt she still had to fulfill her duties as a wife.

Jingzi hesitated to speak.

"It should be alright... Kyosuke-sama must have been quite satisfied yesterday, right?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean—could you explain it in more detail?"

"It's better to ask Zhuiyue, as it involves some things that are not convenient to talk about."

"Okay! I understand!" Su Chang's beautiful face showed an increasingly strong curiosity.

Is there any other way to satisfy Kyosuke-sama?

She is very curious!

I'm really curious!

I want to know right now!

"Let's go." Soon after, Su Yi and Chitanda arrived.

The group then headed towards the Water Department Manor.

They prefer to be busy outside rather than stay at home leisurely.

Others from the sleeping quarters occasionally joined in, but less frequently.

As Xiangzi watched Su Yisu Chang, Jingzi, and the others leave, she was filled with emotion.

"Lord Kyosuke still prefers everyone to be busy."

"Yes. To quote Kyosuke-sama, 'Idleness easily leads to overthinking.'"

Xiangzi's words quickly received a response from Fujishibu.

Xiangzi smiled slightly: "Yes."

A surge of excitement welled up inside me.

Awesome.

Fujishikibu actually brought up such trivial matters!

For a moment, Xiangzi was very grateful to her husband for taking such good care of his idol.

The waka and kanshi poems, filled with tranquility and love, are simply wonderful!

Thinking back to the day before yesterday when I served Kousaka Kyosuke with Fujishikibu and Suyi Sushang, I felt that life was becoming more and more wonderful.

Marry a good husband, and enjoy tea, flowers, and conversation with your idol...

In short, just ignore everything!

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Kyosuke Kosaka patrols the streets of Kyoto.

I was still a bit disoriented.

Last night, at Shizuko's suggestion, he still helped her inhale it.

At dawn today, as soon as the morning bell rang, the Moon Chaser woke up and ran away.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke also slipped away.

Neither of them knew what to say.

Although his skin wasn't thick enough, Kyosuke Kousaka still had a basic sense of shame.

Knowing full well that touching one's ears could lead to a false pregnancy, this actually happened.

It also makes people uncomfortable...

This was indeed embarrassing for Kyosuke Kousaka.

"Their relationship with each other isn't deep enough, so they're all in an awkward situation."

Kyosuke Kousaka roughly understood what was going on.

He was pondering whether he should actively try to improve his relationship with the Moon Goddess.

At least it prevents the Moon Chaser from being too shy.

Kyosuke Kosaka was unsure whether the Moon Goddess still existed at this time.

If so, we should offer our help.

I was thinking as I walked.

After patrolling for an unknown amount of time, Kousaka Kyosuke unknowingly arrived at the official residence of the Outer Guard Office.

Then he started drinking with Minamoto no Yorihira.

While we were chatting casually, the topic of port construction suddenly came to mind.

"By the way, are you going to Arakawa to catch fish? I got the fishing rights from your brother before, so I can finally go out to sea to fish."

"Go to sea?"

With a growing sense of guilt, Minamoto no Yorihira asked in surprise.

Kousaka Kyosuke nodded:

"It's not really going out to sea, but there are some good-tasting fish at the confluence of the sea and the river, which are excellent for making sashimi."

Minamoto no Yorihira hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.

"I don't know when it happened..."

"For now, since nothing's happening in Kyoto anyway."

"Alright, then let Lord Kyosuke taste my skills today!"

skill?

What skill?

Kousaka Kyousuke's body tensed slightly.

Minamoto no Yorihei did not notice Kousaka Kyosuke's situation.

He was simply thinking about how to cut fish in a beautiful way that would give people a pleasing feeling.

Shuibusi Manor.

The white wolf and the demon sword princess, who were protecting Shizuko and Chitanda, suddenly looked in a certain direction.

"White Wolf, Demon Blade Princess?" Shizuko asked in confusion, sensing something was amiss.

“There is a strong demonic aura emanating from the direction of the Great Character Mansion.”

"That's what Yaodao-hime replied."

Shizuko's lips twitched: "They really have a lot of troubles over there."

Chitanda asked curiously, "Is it as powerful as the Mirage?"

Yaodao-hime said, "It's probably still a bit lacking... but it feels somewhat familiar."

The white wolf immediately exclaimed, "It's the Earth Spider clan!"
