Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 425

Since Huang Guang offended a certain vassal chief with an unknown background, he also offended the deputy commander of the Outer Guard Office.

Then we can't afford to take chances!

Political struggles in this world do not result in death because of the kinship ties among nobles.

They would only be exiled to various countries.

The problem is that the farther you are from Kyoto, the political and economic center of the city, the more dangerous it actually becomes!

Because this world is full of all sorts of demons, monsters, and ghosts!

Even the port of Kyoto, where they previously lived, was heavily guarded because the imperial family and nobles needed imported goods and fresh fish.

That's why it seems safer.

But it's simply not enough!

Like the previous Lobster Monster Shinkirou.

The guards of Da Zifu were insufficient, and the people almost ran away.

Fortunately, a great Onmyoji from Kyoto came to our aid.

Because of this incident, the head of the family, Shinomiya Yan'an, was able to help cover the losses caused by the Mirage Tower.

He then got the job here through a deal involving mutual benefits.

Hayasaka Ai understood very well that she had to cherish everything that she had come here.

We must also be extremely cautious and not overlook any threat.

Otherwise, a group of people might very well face death.

Unfortunately, due to her gender, Hayasaka Ai was unable to offer any assistance.

“Perhaps Father will send you to get close to that bastard,” Kaguya Shinomiya added.

Hayasaka Ai smiled and said, "If I can contribute to everyone, I'd be happy to do so."

Seductive.

That is, the honey trap.

After coming into this world, Hayasaka Ai had foreseen this day.

Faced with the choice of survival.

So-called freedom and love should be given up in exchange for the most valuable things.

Kaguya Shinomiya remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said:

"It would be better if I found a husband with more power and influence, so that everyone could have a stable foothold."

Hayasaka Ai retorted.

"Even if you come from Kyoto Port, which is not far from Kyoto, you will still be regarded as a country bumpkin from out of town."

"What do you take me for? You need to understand that there is no man in the world who can't fall for me!"

"Yes~ Yes~ It's only a matter of time before we fall in love with Kaguya-sama, but unfortunately we're just country bumpkins who moved here from elsewhere."

"Ai, I hereby order you not to use the word 'country bumpkin' again!" Kaguya Shinomiya frowned.

What country bumpkin?

Even if one comes into this world.

Their family still has aristocratic lineage.

Tracing back to the source, it is also the bloodline of the Emperor!

Where are they from the countryside?

“Understood,” Hayasaka Ai said, “but you still need to pay attention to this issue.”

Just like how Tokyo locals look down on people from outside Tokyo.

This is a fact.

Similarly, locals in Kyoto look down on people from outside Kyoto.

Whatever your surname is?

Unless one's status and position are so high that they cannot be ignored.

Only then will some people shut up completely.

“This sense of superiority is really unpleasant…” Kaguya Shinomiya frowned even more.

This time, the annoying older brother went too far.

Before everyone could even settle down, they were already starting to panic.

Besides, I wonder how things are going with my father...

How are you feeling?

A pair of wine-red eyes flashed with a cold light that exuded a chilling aura.

At one point, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a hatred for her elder brother, Hikari, that went beyond mere dislike.

Hayasaka Ai, noticing Kaguya Shinomiya's emotions, finally offered words of comfort:

"Huang Guang is probably beyond saving, Miss, you shouldn't think about him."

Hayasaka Ai was too lazy to add the suffix "adult".

On his very first day, he offended a direct descendant of the clan, who was also the powerful younger brother of the clan leader.

The reason we didn't immediately tie him up and take him out to apologize was simply because we had just arrived and didn't have enough information.

"While appeasing the important figure, we must not damage the family head's authority too much, otherwise trouble will still arise in the future..."

Having gained some understanding of politics, Hayasaka Ai deeply understands that some things really can't be rushed.

For now, as long as we keep an eye on Huang Guang and prevent him from continuing to act recklessly, that should be fine.

Stop-loss orders must be placed immediately.

An apology must be made immediately!

However, we cannot proceed rashly...

Kaguya Shinomiya knew, Ai Hayasaka knew, and many rational people knew.

Everyone was waiting.

It wasn't until evening, after Yan'an finished eating and rested for a while, that things progressed.

Important retainers from the modern world, as well as related personnel, all gathered.

The meeting officially begins.

Huang Guang, feeling uneasy, realized something, and his greasy face was filled with a panicked expression.

His eyes revealed fear, mixed with complex anger and surprise...

What I never truly felt was remorse.

He doesn't understand what he did wrong.

At this moment, Huang Guang's biggest regret was why he didn't teach that despicable headman without a surname a lesson in private!

"Huang Guang." A calm voice came from Yan'an.

"...Father, I know I was wrong."

Overwhelmed by panic, Huang Guang finally begged for mercy when his father called his name.

He bowed deeply, hoping his actions would show everyone his sincerity.

"It's alright, you just don't need to go out anymore."

"I understand. I'll hide for a while until Lord Laiping's anger subsides..."

laugh!

Yunying tried hard to suppress his laughter.

She knew perfectly well that she shouldn't laugh, so she suppressed it.

"That's utterly foolish. Didn't you hear Father say 'later'?"

After gloating for a while, Yunying was no longer in the mood to pay much attention to his foolish older brother.

At this moment, I am absolutely qualified to assume my position.

He was more concerned with how to make up for the mistakes made by his foolish older brother.

Once things get serious, even if you've been promoted, it's no different from not having been promoted at all.

In this era, what was most popular was being demoted and exiled?

"Damn it... I didn't expect the mess I made would be this big."

Yunying was no longer in the mood to be happy.

On the field.
