Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Then I should have done very well today."

"Yes."

Kyosuke Kosaka praised Kinnara.

“But Kyosuke…” Kagura hesitated, “Should we just wait one more day and then stop waiting?”

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Waiting for a day or a month makes no difference. As for the evil gods, just like the fate that Lord Ara talked about, it is sometimes very mysterious."

Kyosuke Kosaka appeared very composed while speaking, because he believed that this was the truth.

If the god of wisdom in Takamagahara needs them, then they will eventually be able to meet.

The principle is that simple, there's nothing more to say.

"I feel like Kyosuke just wants to celebrate Tanabata," Kinnara said, revealing her true feelings.

Kyosuke Kousaka rolled his eyes: "Alright, time to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Kinara blinked, glanced at Kagura, and finally fixed his gaze on Kasumigaoka.

Kasumigaoka immediately replied, "It's fine if I share a room with Lady Enmusubi."

There are three rooms inside the house.

So as long as two people sleep together, the other two people can have a room to themselves.

"No, I was wondering if you wanted to sleep with us..."

"Wait a minute, Kinnara, don't you usually sleep alone?" Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but ask.

He really couldn't take it anymore.

I clearly haven't slept with Kinnara before, so how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?

Kinnara disagreed: "It's so cold, let's all sleep together~"

Do even gods feel cold?

Kyosuke Kosaka almost wanted to ask a question in return.

Given that these words were clearly meant to provoke Kasumigaoka, he naturally refrained from saying them aloud.

At this time, Kasumigaoka possesses the five senses, but it is still fundamentally different from the human body.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want her to remember these things.

"It is indeed a bit cold. Why don't you come along, Shiyu? Maybe Enmusubi will come later too."

"Great! I'm really looking forward to that moment."

Kasumigaoka agreed quite naturally.

Since things developed so naturally, there was nothing abrupt about it.

And so, tonight several of us will sleep together...

Day 458 of crossing

At dawn, in the snowy region, the sound of the morning bells of Kyoto cannot reach.

Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura, Kinara, Kasumigaoka, and Enmusubi have all appeared one after another.

Kyosuke Kousaka glanced at the Goddess of Fate yawning not far away and thought to himself, "My prophecy has come true."

"Shall we have mixed stew like yesterday?" Yuanjie Shen suddenly suggested enthusiastically what to have for breakfast.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Kagura, Kagura looked at Kinara and Kasumigaoka, and Kinara and Kasumigaoka looked at each other.

"Then let's have mixed stew."

With just one glance, Kyosuke Kosaka knew there was nothing to argue about regarding breakfast.

A quarter of an hour later.

The group then began to eat the steaming hot stew.

As Enmusubi drank with gurgling sounds, Kyosuke Kousaka's urge to make sarcastic remarks began to intensify.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he stood up.

"You shouldn't mind having one more person, right?"

"do not mind."

"do not mind……"

No one objected.

So, Kyosuke Kosaka stood up, opened the door, and went to greet Yama, who was carrying a jar of hot water and some hot cakes.

A short while later, Shan also came into the house and joined the group eating the mixed stew.

"Zazhu is an indispensable traditional food during the first month of the lunar calendar..."

Kyosuke Kosaka then began explaining to Yama the origins of the food.

Kyosuke Kousaka had a good impression of this cheerful young man from the snowy region.

Especially when she realized that the boy had brought hot water and hot pancakes, her impression of him improved even more.

In this era, cooking requires a fire.

Trees that weren't growing well around the Shuibusi Manor were all cut down and used as firewood.

In this snowy region, there isn't much greenery, so without special methods, starting a fire would require certain resources and come at a cost.

Therefore, it's hard for Kyosuke Kosaka not to look at Yama differently.

"Judging from the attitude of those villagers yesterday, this young man probably received a lot of cold shoulders."

"Excuse me for asking, but I've heard that Kyoto is sprinkled with gold dust everywhere, houses soar to the sky, and everyone can fly..."

Seemingly more relaxed, Shan couldn't help but ask a question that had always intrigued him.

The profound umami, mellow sweetness, and refreshing saltiness of the soup in his mouth amazed him!

Having tasted such a rich variety of food for the first time, he began to believe what he had heard before.

After all, if the food is so delicious it's heavenly, then other things probably aren't fake.

“To be honest,” Kyosuke Kosaka forced a polite smile to avoid embarrassment, “I’m also quite curious to know where exactly this ‘Kyoto’ you’re talking about is.”

Shan looked surprised: "Are none of them true?"

The God of Fate looked at the mountain with a strange expression.

"Kyoto is just a bustling place. Most of the people living there are incredibly arrogant and treat outsiders like country bumpkins. Don't expect too much from them."

A rather harsh reality has been revealed.

“This is a very common form of regional discrimination,” Kyosuke Kosaka said. “It happens everywhere, but it’s more severe in Kyoto.”

Enmusubi glanced sideways at Kousaka Kyosuke, "Is it more serious?"

Is this definitely not the worst-case scenario?

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't give Enmusubi a chance to continue undermining him, and casually started talking about the local customs and culture of other places outside of Kyoto and in the Kinai region.

Finished breakfast.

Kyosuke Kosaka declined the mountain's invitation, not intending to go for a stroll outside with the others.

Most of the Snow Mountain tribes in this snowy region do not welcome outsiders.

So why should we go out and upset them? It would only lead to mutual dislike.

Moreover, this would make things even more troublesome for the tour guide, Shan.

"The mountain is so disappointed."

"It's better than going with us and facing everyone's long faces and disdain."

Kyosuke Kousaka said to Kagura.

Kinnara spoke up as if to remind him, "Kyosuke always seems to have quite a bit of prejudice against other people..."

"I have very keen senses, and I can detect other people's hostility even from a great distance."

Kyosuke Kosaka said slowly.

The spirit's expression turned strange: "Is this the reason Kyosuke has so many yokai friends?"

"Don't tell me I don't seem to have any human friends."

"Much fewer than yokai friends, right?"

"You're so annoying."

Kyosuke Kousaka ended his communication with this shameless god.

Those who deliberately sabotage others are never welcome.

The quiet Kasumigaoka shared subtle, complex feelings.

She actually wanted to refute the Goddess of Marriage on behalf of Kousaka Kyosuke, since she felt that Kousaka Kyosuke had many close people... just too close.

In short, after Shan left, the group continued chatting.
