Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 205

Fuyumi Irisu believed that Kyosuke Kousaka would be appointed by his wife's family or by a member of a noble family with whom he had a good relationship.

But this is just her own guess, and it may not come true.

“Winter fruit…”

"Eru".

Still catching his breath, Fuyumi Irisu tried hard not to show his astonishment.

How did Eru come out so easily?

Aren't people usually in their sleeping quarters at this time?

“Fuyumi, it’s like this,” Chitanda said, trying to compose himself as he almost used a respectful title, “Lady Sui just said that you would be in charge of the handover of the sleeping quarters.”

Irusu Fuyumi was even more astonished, but still managed to maintain a calm expression.

"Could you explain in detail how to do it?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to talk about..."

As she spoke, Chitanda's expression became somewhat strange.

The handover between the outside and the sleeping quarters was usually done by the maids who served Kousaka Kyosuke.

Suddenly, Chitanda recalled the complex expression on Irisu Fuyu's face when she invited him to meet her.

Well, um... could it be, could it be?!

"Eru?"

"Okay! I'll tell you right away—"

A loud and clear voice rang out quickly.

Chitanda stood up straight, and Hidemine became even more upright.

Ru Xudong was speechless, unsure of how to phrase it.

night.

Kyosuke Kosaka, who had just returned from working at the government office, looked exhausted.

The number of fire soldiers assigned to the Qin clan was limited, and some of the better ones had to be reserved for the Water Department.

So, I ended up doing the job in place of the fireman?

Occasionally, we also need to strengthen the barriers in the Onmyoji Temple that can't stop the increasingly dense miasma...

Is he some kind of superhero?

Despite his resentment, Kyosuke Kosaka pretended nothing was wrong when he returned.

I was thinking that I should just give up.

Anyway, in Kyoto, it's not just the Anti-Illegal Affairs Office that's maintaining public order; there's also the Outer Guard Office, isn't there?

We'll share the blame!

Moreover, he actively seeks to make his presence known to various noble families in Kyoto every day.

It's no problem to call it the industry benchmark.

If he thinks that any security incident can defeat him, then he'll accept it.

I just hope that the official who was removed from his post can find someone more capable than him.

Forget it, let's not jinx it.

There's still a lot to do these days.

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke was thinking this.

A member of the Qin family quickly caught up with him and handed him an imperial edict.

Kyosuke Kosaka's lips twitched slightly.

He took it out and glanced at it, just once.

Even the term "jinx" is no longer used.

In a flash of thought, he suddenly realized—this Daoist Master is such an amazing boss!

"Come on, Bi Dong, tell everyone that they've all resigned tomorrow."

"...Lord Kyosuke, I am Bixi."

"Then Bixi, tell everyone what I just said, and also, we're leaving for Arakawa the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Kyosuke-sama."

Qin Bixi answered without the slightest hesitation.

He had no doubts about Kyosuke Kousaka's orders.

Recently, many members of the clan, including my own relatives and friends, have died.

But in reality, they live a much more affluent and happier life than before.

he thought.

Death is not scary.

It seems even more terrifying to live in a daze like before.

Watching Qin Bixi disappear into the night with remarkable speed, Kousaka Kyosuke chuckled.

It was a good opportunity to get along well with these wives and their children.

He's married to two women, so it's only right that they get closer.

"Huh? Lord Kyosuke, you've been dismissed again?"

In the bathtub. Su Chang was stunned upon hearing the news.

She remembered that Kyosuke Kosaka had just been dismissed not long ago.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled:

"Isn't this perfect? ​​I can finally lead my people to explore the Arakawa Plain."

“Hehe, that’s true!” Su Chang immediately laughed again.

"Lord Kyosuke, let me give you a shoulder massage to encourage you."

Finally snapping out of her daze, Komachi swam over with a splash.

The girl's swimming posture was so adorable that Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but laugh.

"It must be a political maneuver," Miku couldn't help but analyze.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at Sanjiu and said:

"Perhaps, but it doesn't matter. In any case, the Water Department, which was previously too busy to deal with, can finally take the first step."

"...Lord Kyosuke, may I come with you?"

“Alright! You are skilled in martial arts, so if you don’t mind, come with me along with Su Chang and Yao Dao Ji.”

Seeing that Su Yi also spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

He felt soft little hands gently kneading his shoulders and back, and he closed his eyes contentedly.

At this moment, Fujishibu, who rarely spoke up, spoke up.

"Lord Kyosuke, what if things get really messy if you leave, and your superior happens to need to see you?"

“I have considered this. After I leave, I will leave a paper doll here, which will be enough for emergencies.”

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds."

"No, I'm glad you're willing to consider so much for me."

Kousaka Kyosuke opened his eyes and smiled at Fuji Shikibu.

I have to keep Fumino company tonight, who's feeling a bit lonely, otherwise I'd definitely stay up all night with Fujishikibu.

Tomorrow, definitely!

Without realizing it, Kyosuke Kousaka glanced at Fumino, who hadn't said a word, out of the corner of his eye.

He didn't speak to Fumino at first because he was worried that the attention from everyone would make her more nervous.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka never expected this.

Unexpectedly, Fumino is currently with Yukinoshita and Shizuko...

"--cough!"

Finally, Kyosuke Kosaka choked on some intense emotion that got stuck in his throat.

"Kyosuke-sama!"
