Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 147

It's so noisy all around!

Even the guards who came to chase people away didn't dare to be too rude.

I was afraid of disturbing someone.

Faith is indeed a good thing in this era.

Kyosuke Kosaka finally withdrew from the crowd.

He was never the main character on the front stage from beginning to end.

Shoot the first bird.

It's better to play it safe; the benefits won't be small anyway.

Dusk falls.

Less than an hour had passed since Fujiwara Akiko's wedding procession entered the palace.

Not long after returning to the mansion, Kyosuke Kosaka learned about the wedding procession from Shizuko.

"I heard that when Lady Akiko entered the palace, gods and Buddhas appeared to her."

“That’s a good thing,” Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

Shizuko added, "But some people say that a monster appeared when Lord Akiko entered the palace."

Kousaka Kyosuke’s smile did not change.

"So Lady Akiko is a noble person blessed by gods and Buddhas."

“Yes, everyone thinks so,” Fujiwara Kaori chimed in.

Having studied history extensively, she had already sensed the fierce and treacherous power struggles within the imperial court.

She had heard yesterday that Akiko had entered wearing a dress.

The so-called "entry"

This refers to the process by which noble women who will become the Emperor's empress, empress, or consort formally enter the Imperial Palace according to royal etiquette.

The term "wearing clothes"

It's a very common coming-of-age ceremony, but it's generally different in the Fujiwara Regent's household.

It was the time for the legitimate daughter to enter the palace, and her parents held a coming-of-age ceremony for her.

She was not only granted an official position, but also received a generous dowry.

However, it could be said that Fujiwara Akiko's dressing and entry were very hurried, or that the news was kept very secret.

It seems as if there's no momentum building up at all.

In Fujiwara Kaori's view, this situation was nothing short of a signal from the imperial court.

The presence of demons and deities in this instance further underscores the intensity of this struggle.

“It’s better to keep a distance from the imperial court,” Su Chang also expressed her opinion.

Kyosuke Kosaka joked, "Isn't your place a bit too far away?"

The Qin family had virtually no voice in the imperial court.

Many families have split up in other places.

"Yes, that's why I was able to marry you so easily." Su Chang was quite frank about it.

Of course, if their feelings for each other had been deeper back then, even the clan leader's attempts to stop them from being together wouldn't have mattered!

"Therefore I am very satisfied with Your Excellency's generous gift."

“I’m not a gift, I’m yours.”

"Yes, you're mine."

Kousaka Kyosuke also answered seriously.

Su Chang was satisfied upon hearing this.

Everyone else blushed when they saw such a bold confession.

Fujiwara Kaori sensed something was wrong!

It turns out that a lot has happened in my recent plans to meet with Fujishige.

Why would someone say such blatant love words in front of everyone?

Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes widened. "W-How daring!"

This is practically a public confession!

It is said that the Heian period was the most romantic era.

So it's perfectly reasonable for each other to express their love?

It wasn't just Kirisu Mafuyu who thought this way.

Others suddenly had the same idea too!

I was quite shocked to find that Kousaka Kyosuke, who is usually rather reserved in his speech, would say something so blunt.

Actually, Kyosuke Kosaka was a little embarrassed.

However, Su Chang has a very straightforward personality.

As long as you speak honestly, your popularity will continue to soar.

Just like yesterday at noon, his obedience was no different from that of Fujishikibu.

Unlike Fujishikibu.

Su Chang can pull off any pose, no matter how difficult.

Feeling too ashamed, she simply glared at him but said nothing.

It's better than just grumbling and complaining as usual.

"Hmm...it's so quiet." Noticing the somewhat subtle atmosphere around her, Su Chang couldn't help but speak again.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded secretly; sometimes this girl just couldn't read the room.

Perhaps they don't know why it's so quiet?

Fujiwara Kaori chuckled softly at that moment.

"Because Kyosuke-sama boldly confessed his love to you, Susou."

"That's easy, just ask Kyosuke-sama for it."

"Come on, I'm right here, you can divide it up."

Kousaka Kyosuke spread his hands.

"Hey! This is great news! Komachi, I can see you're envious, go for it!"

"Ah, this... ah—"

While Komachi was still hesitating about her identity, Su Chang, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her around the waist and rushed towards Kousaka Kyosuke.

The action, which was completely like a monk striking a bell, was too sudden.

Komachi reacted quickly, opening her small hands and rushing towards Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

"I'll catch you right away."

Kyosuke Kosaka quickly replied.

It came into view.

Komachi's two small, white hands were spread out like wings, and her innocent little face was beaming with a smile.

The faintly visible, neat, white teeth gleamed, and the canine teeth shone brightly, full of vitality.

"I'm already yours!"

When they finally met, Kyosuke Kosaka still remembered how Komachi introduced herself.

Embrace.

All worldly troubles and pressures are left behind.

Kyosuke Kosaka was completely immersed in the embrace of nature.

Feel the baptism of the elegant fragrance of wisteria blossoms.

thank you.

Kyosuke Kousaka caught Komachi and thought to himself.

It seems he's not a lolicon.

I'm just a Komachi fan.

night.

Kyosuke Kosaka still chose to go out.
