Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 161

Following behind Kyosuke Kosaka, Shikibu Fuji looked toward the place where he was being introduced, remaining rather silent.

The soft lawn, which is larger than the entire house itself, almost makes you feel like you're outside.

"There are many flowers, plants, and trees here that haven't been transplanted yet. I'd like everyone to come and help themselves. Oh, this is the bathhouse..."

"Bathhouse".

Fujishikibu blinked.

Walking through the spacious open area, she quietly gazed at what looked like a pond.

But the pond was dry and looked like a giant pit.

But the pit is filled with smooth, reflective porcelain stones, which should be very comfortable to sit on.

The observant Fujishikibu also noticed a square opening about the length of a forearm.

After pondering the word "bath," Fujishikibu said softly, as if lost in thought:

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Kousaka Kyosuke's heart was beating rapidly, so that's what he understood?

Sushang glanced sideways at Kousaka Kyosuke.

With such a large bathhouse, who doesn't understand what you're thinking?

It's still pretty good to have a bath available.

It feels so good when your body smells nice!

The other women had subtle expressions and varied thoughts.

Fujiwara Kaori: "An opportunity, an opportunity for honesty."

Kirisu Mafuyu: "Absurd, absurd. It's getting more and more absurd!"

Shizuko: "Yay! Kyosuke-sama actually accepted my suggestion!"

Yukinoshita: "...This isn't the first time."

Chitanda: "It was quite fun showering with everyone~"

Nino: "It's nice to be able to take a bath. I'll wipe Kyosuke's body down then."

Miku: "I want to be the first woman to scrub Kyosuke's back."

In May, "I should be able to help scrub his back... Kyosuke-sama should agree."

Komachi: "Finally, I can show off my feminine charm in front of Kyosuke-sama! Heh heh~"

"Yoto Hime: In the water... all together?"

Nine Lives Cat: "Meow?"

"That opening is a drainage outlet, connected to an underground well. As long as a sluice gate is set up and the water is heated using yin-yang techniques, one can comfortably soak in it."

"This will definitely feel good. Legend has it that gods can be cured of all illnesses by soaking in hot springs. It would be a good idea for us to try it!"

Upon hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's introduction, Fujiwara Kaori smiled and chimed in agreement.

Fujishikibu nodded.

If everyone is having a good time, she shouldn't try to spoil the atmosphere.

I only took a quick look around.

She noticed that everyone was getting along very closely, like family.

Just as Kyosuke Kosaka said in the car.

However, it will likely be difficult for her to integrate quickly.

All I can say is that I'll try my best...

“Come on, just a few more steps and you’ll reach the bathhouse where you can cleanse your body.” Kyosuke Kosaka walked forward again.

As he was giving his presentation, he felt his blood and energy circulating at an extremely rapid pace.

In order to wait for this day, he was willing to invest most of the money in his mansion.

I guess I'll have to figure out how to make money soon.

Ultimately, the maintenance costs, the cost of hiring servants, and other expenses will add up to a fairly high amount.

Breakfast didn't begin until close to noon.

A group of people were eating on the open grass.

The women, dressed in light and beautiful clothes, were like a beautiful scene in nature.

"Eating this beast meat for too long can get a bit greasy. I'll go catch some fish in the Arakawa River later."

Seeing that the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, Kousaka Kyosuke mentioned the afternoon's plans.

Fujiwara Kaori asked in surprise, "Arakawa is quite far from here. Are you going there on business?"

"Take care of some unruly monsters, catch some fish on the side, and I'll be back later."

"Exorcise demons? I'll come with you!"

"Lord Kyosuke, please allow me to lend you a hand."

Upon hearing about the monsters, both Su Chang and Yao Dao Ji volunteered enthusiastically.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "Sure, but the process will probably be a bit boring. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Chang said with a smile, "I'm very happy that my martial arts can help you~"

Yaodao-hime bowed respectfully.

"I am willing to fight for Lord Kyosuke."

"Alright, stop making it sound like we're going to participate in some major battle like the previous extermination. This is just a minor problem."

Kousaka Kyousuke smiled and waved.

Fujiwara Kaori said with concern, "We should still be careful."

Fujishikibu didn't speak, but gave Kousaka Kyosuke a gentle look.

Kousaka Kyosuke responded with a smile.

The other girls were the same as Fujishikibu.

Even without saying a word, their expressions and demeanor are enough to perfectly convey their care.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt somewhat apologetic.

He did want to keep it a secret.

However, he recently noticed that Yaodao-hime occasionally falls into a slightly depressed state.

They also noticed that the lively Su Chang was somewhat like a small animal that hadn't been out for a walk in a long time.

His energetic and vibrant demeanor, just looking at his eyes, seemed to gradually become something else...

Are we trying to squeeze him dry?

In short, you have to take both of them with you.

Therefore, they couldn't hide it any longer, so they simply confessed.

Breakfast is over.

Kyosuke Kosaka first bid farewell to the others and left the new residence to go to the government office to inspect the work.

Kyosuke Kosaka was pleased that he had to walk dozens of steps more than before.

The entire mansion was so large that it was no different from an ordinary park in the modern world.

very good!

We arrived at the government office.

Kyosuke Kosaka checked the work of the others and reviewed the basic information of the firefighters.

Finally, they went to the area around Ukyo to observe the security situation.

Just like yesterday, Kyosuke Kousaka ran into Hikigaya again.

And they met face to face.

Hikigaya quickly took the initiative to greet him.

"Kyosuke-sama."

"Hmm, how have you been lately?"

"...The situation is very good. Thank you very much for Kyosuke-sama's help before."

"That's good." Kousaka Kyosuke nodded and left.

He planned to take Komachi to the manor another day.

With Komachi's help, Hachiman can be calmer than before.

Things are different now than they used to be.
