Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 324

Ayanokouji is a person with a strong desire for control.

Every moment, I had to instill in him all sorts of ideas imbued with my own will.

“I won’t say,” Ayanokouji shook his head, then asked, “How are you getting along with your wives?”

Hachiman's face darkened immediately: "That's my privacy."

Ayanokouji didn't quite understand.

Hachiman used to complain to him, but now he doesn't?

She seems even more fickle than her younger sister.

My younger sister, Shizuko, was all smiles just a moment ago.

The next moment, he looked at me with a "Why don't you just die?" expression.

She was quite well-behaved before.

"There are indeed many things I need to study regarding matters of the heart."

Ayanokoji thought to himself.

He found it difficult to understand that kind of neutral, friendly feeling.

On the contrary, they are particularly sensitive to negative emotions such as jealousy, hatred, disgust, and killing.

Even if others are smiling very kindly.

He can spot inconsistencies in any of their words and actions.

Just like their master, Kyosuke Kousaka.

At first, I treated him like a toy.

Then she lost interest in him and used him as a tool.

Shortly after Shizuko was sent to his residence, Kousaka Kyosuke showed obvious concern for her.

Ayanokouji had deeply felt this when he was killed by the Tsuchigumo.

I clearly felt the charm and value of the so-called "marriage alliance".

"The kinship based on blood ties is indeed a rather magical thing."

Ayanokouji, who was chatting with someone, suddenly spaced out and started thinking about other things.

We have arrived in this magical era.

He discovered many people and things worth exploring.

Ayanokoji herself is unlikely to experience any emotional fluctuations.

however.

It's impossible not to feel fear and terror when facing danger time and time again.

They are all very reserved.

Now I'm used to it.

I also know that I have the ability to protect myself in this situation.

Therefore, while working diligently, they will also continue to observe and explore other people and things.

Nōme is, and Hikigaya is.

As for Kyosuke Kousaka… Ayanokouji wouldn’t dare.

Even though he knew that Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't do anything to him after discovering his presence, he still felt guilty.

But he knew very well that he would definitely be taught a good lesson.

This is hardly worth it for Ayanokouji, who is very good at avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune.

"So what about you? Are you going to get married?"

Hikigaya, not wanting Ayanokouji to continue asking questions, countered with his own question.

Ayanokouji shook his head directly: "I have no interest in those things."

Hikigaya's lips curled up.

"Are you afraid of having weaknesses?"

Ayanokouji nodded without hesitation: "What you said is also part of what I've been considering."

His wife's existence was a burden to him.

Having a younger sister is enough.

His younger sister is well protected and is also able to help him.

It's great to take a look when you're bored occasionally.

"..." Hachiman was completely speechless.

In his opinion.

Ayanokouji is a monster with emotional disorders!

If it weren't for the fact that Ayanokouji still had some feelings for his sister...

Hikigaya is starting to fear Ayanokouji!

“But sometimes you need a wife and children too,” Ayanokouji said slowly.

He paused for a moment, as if thinking, before continuing:

"Just like when a sect leader recruits vassals and retainers, it would be very difficult for the sect leader if they had no constraints."

Well, thankfully I have my younger sister, Shizuko!

Ayanokouji nodded again.

He felt a little grateful to his father, whom he had hardly ever met.

Ayanokouji even had the thought, "I can live without a father, but I absolutely must have a sister!"

"You..." Hachiman's fist was a little hard.

Seeing Ayanokouji nod involuntarily, he felt a surge of anger.

He vaguely sensed that Ayanokouji was thinking about something that made him very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Ayanokouji turned his head away.

His indifferent gaze suddenly turned to one spot.

A man with an ugly face was reflected in her pale golden eyes.

The man was in a secluded spot at the corner of a dark alley.

She was thin, with long, messy hair that had golden edges, as if it had been dyed botched.

"Delinquent youth, hatred, danger..."

A few key words flashed through Ayanokouji's mind in an instant.

A heavy hand slammed down on Ayanokouji's shoulder.

"...Let him go."

"Where does he live?"

"...the manor of Gojo Shibo Shisancho".

"I'll handle this one, but you'll have to do it yourself next time."

Ayanokouji spoke slowly.

Her gaze remained fixed on the man in the hidden spot.

The man who had been discovered finally fled in panic and fear!

"...I'll do it."

"No, I think you should still learn something."

Ayanokoji strongly opposed it.

Then he looked at Hachiman very seriously.

“You’re ignoring the person, but you’re not doing anything about it either—do you think that’s appropriate?”

"...I'll do this."

"Don't worry, I won't kill anyone."

"...That's what makes me worried." Hachiman's lips twitched.

Ayanokouji responded coldly: "I'm more worried if you do it."

At least they were the subjects of my observation.
