Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka caught a whiff of a unique fragrance.

His expression shifted slightly: Miso...this tastes quite like my mom's cooking.

The taste of my mom's cooking.

A deep longing welled up within Kousaka Kyosuke, and he sighed inwardly.

Whether it's a biological mother or a stepmother, the miso soup they make always has a magical flavor.

And then there were other dishes... They were alright, weren't they?

It should be alright.

After all, when it comes to food, curry is definitely the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Kousaka Kyosuke.

Then there were other foods besides miso soup that I can't recall.

This involves a very coincidental event.

For example, both the mother and stepmother once said, "The first dish that received praise from my father was curry!"

Therefore, the dishes that once moved them to tears are often made.

Oh, and miso soup too.

In short, whether in his childhood or after he went to Japan, the food that Kousaka Kyosuke ate most often was curry and miso soup.

No matter what, he should be grateful.

Then again.

The person who can make food that tastes like mom's must be a housewife, right?

Perhaps after some time, people like Nino, Miku, and Yukino who cook regularly will also be able to make it.

Ultimately, some flavors require time to develop, and the principles behind this are often quite mysterious.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes that the miso soup they make has not yet fully developed its own style.

That's right, it's the style of a housewife!

But if they all become housewives, does Kyosuke Kosaka feel like they're all getting old?

We're all quite young.

"I really miss the days when everyone gathered together for a meal, but there's nothing we can do about it since we can't go back for now. We should just keep looking forward."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

Putting aside the fact that it reminded him of miso soup from the past, he also has a lot to do right now.

Politically, continue to support your superior, the Taoist priest, and advocate for the interests of those around you.

He exudes the authority of a head of household.

And that's indeed the case; it's quite novel and fun.

Whether it's stress or frustration, Kyosuke Kosaka rarely dwells on it.

People always need to experience some unexpected and fresh aspects of life.

So, there's nothing wrong with that.

Then came official business.

This is quite tricky—it's not just about maintaining public order; it probably means maintaining world peace as well.

If the world were only the size of an island, then Kyosuke Kousaka would indeed be working to maintain world peace.

Is the mastermind behind this, Orochi, truly trying to "judge" everyone here?

Fortunately, top Onmyoji such as Seimei and Minamoto no Yorimitsu have been actively making preparations.

Kyosuke Kousaka himself is a bit lazy.

He planned to help out whenever something happened later, acting as a tool to follow orders.

Right now, they should quietly strengthen their own power, just like the local lords did before, in preparation for the battle of Suzuka Mountain.

In fact, there were no shortage of wars and calamities in the later stages.

Being near Kyoto inevitably leads to these situations, but being far from Kyoto is actually worse.

The protective forces were concentrated in Kyoto, and sometimes they couldn't even take care of Kyoto Port, which wasn't too far away, let alone other more distant provinces.

"We've arrived here..."

When he came to his senses, Kyosuke Kosaka realized that he seemed to have followed the scent for quite some distance.

The dazed pupils returned to normal.

He then noticed two girls in the distance, each carrying a wooden tray with a porcelain bowl filled with hot soup on it.

If I'm not mistaken, the miso soup was served in a bowl.

Let's put that aside for now; Kousaka Kyosuke has to face the problem he absolutely must face immediately.

For example, the two girls who seemed to be frightened by their own intrusion.

"Suddenly wandering into a place you shouldn't be is indeed very inappropriate."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

He then nodded and smiled apologetically at the two girls before turning back to the place where they had been drinking.

Nostalgia is too sentimental; let's live in the present.

Once the Onmyoji who are coming to provide support arrive, let's continue to take a look at Kaguya-hime.

Also included were Su Chang and the other members of the band.

The other members of the band are also very interesting; each of them has a unique personality.

No wonder he's a musician.

They are all very individualistic.

To be honest, Kyosuke Kosaka never intended to develop a deeper connection with them.

I really intend to raise it slowly.

If things develop naturally in the future, then we'll see.

Anyway, throwing a party solves everything; if there's not enough time to spend together afterwards, we can build up the dream world.

The way they interact is similar to that of the spider lily and the blue princess.

There will definitely be a solution.

The best is yet to come!

"Kyosuke-sama, please wait—" A voice from behind pulled Kousaka Kyosuke back to reality.

Kousaka Kyosuke stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the source of the sound.

At a glance, I spotted one of the two girls, a delicate girl with a certain vigor.

This girl inexplicably reminded Kousaka Kyosuke of the Goldfish Princess he first met.

Back then, Princess Goldfish was really just talking to herself.

Completely consistent inside and out.

Childish and cute.

Now that he's grown up, he always acts very mature.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look very mature.

A youthful appearance makes it difficult to discern how mature someone truly is.

But in private, he occasionally shows a childish side... which is a pleasant surprise.

If Kyosuke Kousaka had been able to protect her better, perhaps Princess Goldfish could have remained adorable forever.

"Is something the matter?" After a flurry of thoughts, Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and asked the girl who was running towards him.

"You must have been attracted by the miso soup in my hand! Please have some if you don't mind—"

"Miso soup?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked surprised.

There's no such thing as miso in this era, so he certainly wouldn't pretend to know it.

Even if there was indeed miso in the bedroom, it was actually called miso by another name.

"Mizo soup! It's miso soup!!"

Another girl quickly came over to explain.

Kyosuke Kosaka then looked enlightened and said, "I see... then I won't stand on ceremony."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and drank all the soup inside. Then he smiled and gave a word of encouragement.
