Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

How could he possibly talk nonsense?

There are some people you can't joke about.

The strange man in front of me should be included in this category.

"Kyosuke's kindness to me is also compounding," Kagura chimed in.

Kyosuke Kousaka corrected: "That's love."

In truth, he often noticed that "gratitude" and "love" were always mixed together.

However, he wouldn't dwell on it too much.

As long as both parties like each other, there's no problem.

Nowadays, Kyosuke Kosaka always tries to maximize a woman's positive feelings before having sex with her.

"Being able to witness this kind of love is also an important reason why it was worth coming here."

Hoshino Ai thought to herself again.

She still doesn't quite understand love, especially romantic love.

As for family ties, she seemed to gradually come to understand some things while taking care of Rumi every day.

What about in terms of love?

Ai Hoshino specifically observed Kyosuke Kousaka's interactions with other women.

After all, Hoshino Ai only has Kousaka Kyosuke as a male companion on a daily basis.

And she showed no interest in other men.

After observation.

Hoshino Ai was convinced that she could understand what love was through Kousaka Kyosuke.

Even so, she didn't take much action.

Just observe.

Then we witnessed a heartwarming scene—the exchange of glances between Kagura and Kousaka Kyosuke.

That's great!

"Well then, let's cheer ourselves up and go for a walk around the area."

Kyosuke Kosaka then looked at Ai Hoshino and made a suggestion.

Since you've helped, of course I should thank you.

Even without any actual thanks, we should at least try to smooth things over for Hoshino Ai.

This can be considered an equivalent exchange.

As for the idea that "gratitude can never be repaid" or "gratitude accumulates interest on interest"?

Just laugh it off.

In his eyes, it doesn't exist.

"Yes, Kyosuke-sama."

This time, Hoshino Ai did not refuse.

First, Kousaka Kyosuke didn't give her the option to refuse; second, she genuinely wanted to observe Kousaka Kyosuke more closely.

Ultimately, she sometimes didn't understand the meaning of her life.

Naturally, one can only establish life's pursuits and goals by comprehending and understanding love.

"Let's go."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and looked at Kagura, who was holding Rumi, before beginning to use magic to move.

At that moment, he noticed that the gaze that had been watching from the shadows disappeared after the undead twins vanished.

I'm too lazy to get to the bottom of this.

There's no need to be too curious.

Let's just play around.

Day 406 of crossing

One morning, Kousaka Kyosuke stayed at home with his bedchamber's spouse.

It wasn't until noon that I took Kagura and continued running to the suburbs.

If there's nothing going on inside the city, then they must be going out to check the situation outside the city.

Compared to the city.

The countryside is actually quite important.

"There seem to be quite a few demonic auras over there, especially around Zhuiyue."

"Go, go and have a look."

Upon hearing Kagura's words, Kousaka Kyosuke became curious.

It wasn't just out of curiosity; I also wanted to see what was going on.

While it's true that the Moon Chaser has become a complete god and can fight with considerable divine power, it's best to conserve as much as possible.

Restoring divine power is also very troublesome.

It would be better to let Kyosuke Kousaka handle it himself.

In short, Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura quickly headed to the Oitsuki Shrine.

After arriving around the shrine.

Kyosuke Kousaka then discovered that the Moon God was communicating with a yellow-haired fox-eared demon, namely a fox demon!

Behind the fox demon was a group of other beings—humans and demons alike. There were men and women, adults and children…

The old man did not.

It is indeed true that there should be no elderly people here.

The group appeared to have traveled a long distance.

This kind of thing is especially unfriendly to the elderly, the disabled, and other people who are physically weak.

Whether you leave the team or are abandoned, it's perfectly normal.

"Go over and take a look."

When he saw that the Moon Goddess had finished talking with the fox demon and still looked troubled, Kousaka Kyosuke knew that he could go with Kagura.

"Kyosuke, Kagura..."

The Tsukuyomi, who had discovered Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura, called out their names.

After Kousaka Kyosuke nodded amicably to the fox spirit, he looked toward the Moon Goddess.

"But what went wrong?"

"It's like this, Miss Mayoi wants to inquire about building another village around our current village..."

The God of the Moon immediately handed over the difficult decision to Kyosuke Kousaka.

As expected, Kyosuke Kosaka said regarding the specifics of the matter:

"If it's just women and children, that's fine. But adult men, even the elderly, can't stay in the newly built village. And children have to leave when they reach a certain age..."

Legal tax avoidance is the best solution.

Otherwise, there wouldn't always be men from various states who wander to Kyoto because they can't afford to pay their taxes.

Taxation is like a mountain in this day and age!

Unlike in modern times, where if your income is too low, you can not only avoid paying taxes, but also receive official subsidies and even support in various aspects.

"Then could you please let me stay around the village for a while, and after we've finished some basic construction, I'll take those who can't stay with me and leave?"

The fox spirit, a girl named Mayoi, pleaded with Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kousaka pondered for a moment.

But his mind was occupied with other things.

"The fox clan is the fox clan; their appearances are so beautiful that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between men and women, especially when the women have flat chests..."

Unwittingly, Kyosuke Kousaka remembered the fox spirit that had once fallen into his hands.

He tormented that necrophilic fox spirit's soul for quite some time before finally getting rid of it.

This fox demon in front of me is quite strange.

It's obvious without even guessing that it's a monster like a superhero who embodies the saying "with great power comes great responsibility."

The world is truly full of wonders!

"Okay, I'll lend you some more tools for building the village."

"Now that we're already thinking about whether we can plant the seeds," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.
