Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 21

"you……"

Fujiwara Yasumasa's eyes were filled with endless murderous intent, and his hand gradually moved to the sword at his waist.

Kyosuke Kosaka then tilted his neck slightly, revealing part of it.

"Lord Baochang, what's wrong?"

“…You’re very good.” Fujiwara Yasumasa laughed angrily, then turned and left, with his several attendants quickly following behind.

Kousaka Kyosuke clicked his tongue in disapproval, then had several villagers who had been beating up Sekiya Jun carry the man to the manor.

Half an hour later, the manor's owner, Fujiwara Yukinari, arrived after hearing the news.

"I say, you've certainly put on quite a show."

"Fujiwara Yukinari said with a hint of resentment."

He didn't care whether she was a peasant girl or not, so why did she come to his territory to fight?

Kyosuke Kosaka helplessly spread his hands: "With such a kind and gentle face, how could I possibly cause trouble?"

"Anyway, that's the end of it. He's from the Nan family, and he's been frequently visiting Lord Daojian's residence lately..."

Fujiwara Yukinari gave a low hint.

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed: "Do you even know what kind of person Yasumasa is?"

"You still want to provoke him?"

"Even if I don't provoke him, I still need to find out what his relationships are with other people, otherwise if I get scammed, no one will offer me a drink."

"Oh right, do you still have any wine?"

"Yes, let's chat while we drink."

Day 41 of crossing

After washing his face, Kyosuke Kosaka went out.

Go to the office of the Inspectorate and let your subordinates manage it themselves.

There's no shortage of people in Kyoto who hold important positions but don't actually do any work.

He left the government office and went to one of his own estates. After observing the condition of the unconscious Sekiya Jun, he left and headed to the market.

On the way, Kyosuke Kosaka witnessed an interesting scene on a secluded side road.

"Eighth Master, I'm sorry, I need to borrow rice from you again..."

"It's nothing, I have enough to eat anyway."

"Thank you."

"That's settled then." The guard from the Outer Guard, with his dead fish eyes, ended the conversation first and turned to leave.

However, he froze after taking just a few steps.

Because he saw Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

It was only later that I noticed another blond man, Kousaka Kyosuke, hesitated for a moment, then took a bag and walked in the other direction of the road.

The Outer Guard continued forward until they reached Kousaka Kyosuke.

"...Lord Inspector of the Imperial Censorate."

"you know me?"

"I witnessed your heroic bearing, Sir Kenbi-shisa, during the flood season in Ukyo."

"I see. That person was a lowly commoner?"

"...He, he is my old friend, who helped me when I was in trouble."

"It was Hikigaya Hachiman, a guard from the Outer Guard Bureau, who said earnestly."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded in agreement: "However, it's best to keep your distance from these lowly commoners."

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Chief Inspector of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

Kousaka Kyosuke gave a soft "hmm" and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. Hikigaya Hachiman's heart almost stopped as well.

What is your surname?

"...I have no surname."

"That's strange. Doesn't not having a surname mean you're a lowly person?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked suspiciously.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was almost driven to despair by the questions, hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the reason:

"My sister is a priestess in the Genji clan."

"The priestess..."

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his eyes, feeling sorry for his sister.

It turned out to be the case.

Did he get this position by sacrificing his sister's life?

In the storyline of the mobile game "Onmyoji".

Every year, the Genji would offer a group of powerful priestesses to the Yamata no Orochi in exchange for their power.

Without a doubt, Hachiman Hikigaya's sister became a sacrifice.

This explains why Hachiman Hikigaya was able to become a minor official.

Don't underestimate this ordinary guard.

Some people spend their entire lives doing temporary jobs, being bossed around, without any money or hope.

To be honest, Hachiman Hikigaya's situation is actually a case of "rising to the top in one step".

At least they are qualified for promotion in the future and have the opportunity to become official officials with ranks.

At the same time, these guards could generally be hereditary, so the conditions offered by Genji were indeed generous.

"Then, cherish everything you have." Having understood the situation, Kyosuke Kousaka had no intention of asking any more questions.

For him, he simply wanted to understand the situation of transmigrators in this world.

Now that the reason is clear, there's no need to ask any further.

Ultimately, most of the transmigrators who came here with him were not of high status.

Speaking and acting recklessly will only hasten your demise and won't change much.

"...Cherish everything you have now."

Hachiman Hikigaya trembled slightly, and his head began to spin.

The feelings of fear and terror spread wildly like a lit fuse!

Why should we cherish everything we have? Why?

What does "existing" mean?

Tell me! Please tell me!!

Day 42 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka received another love letter.

He glanced at it, gave a casual reply, and then went to stroll around the West Market.

Kyoto has an East Market and a West Market. The East Market opens on the 1st and 15th of each month, and the West Market opens on the 16th. The markets open at noon and close at dusk.

They sell silk fabrics, swords, cattle and horses, salt, medicine, fresh vegetables, dried seafood, and other goods.

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to do some shopping.

I wasn't really interested before, but I've had the time lately.

So, how good is the quality of the products sold in shops that sell swords?

It's unreasonable to employ so many elderly people, isn't it?

Furthermore, it's even more unreasonable for that wastewater to flow into the public sewer.

It seems that there are still many things that need improvement in Ukyo.

Day 43 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was about to stroll around the West Market, was suddenly stopped by the maid who often delivered love letters.

"...Kyosuke-sama."

"What's wrong?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked, puzzled. Could it be that mutual praise wasn't enough?

Is she finally willing to take the initiative to meet him?

Isn't that against the rules?

The pink-haired maid hesitated and said, "Yesterday, a Lord Danhou wanted to see you, but you refused to see me."
