Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"I am truly sorry for the trouble I caused you before. I would like to invite Lord Kyosuke over for a drink."

"I'm busy for the next three days, can you let me know when you have time?"

"Thank you very much for gracing me with your presence."

"No need for formalities, just focus on doing your own thing."

"Yes!" Fujiwara Tomoyuki replied respectfully.

Since Kyosuke Kousaka was reinstated to his original position a few days ago.

He clearly noticed that Kyosuke Kosaka was more enthusiastic about his work than before.

Although he couldn't guess the specific reason, he thought it would be better if his daughter stayed with Kyosuke Kosaka.

Even though nothing is certain yet, my expectations seem more like wishful thinking.

He's still willing to try...

"..." After Fujiwara Tomoyuki left, Kousaka Kyosuke felt a strange feeling.

These past few days, he's felt that something about Fujiwara Tomoyuki is acting strangely.

However, since he noticed that the man hadn't done anything strange from beginning to end, he didn't bother to pursue it.

At that moment, he had no interest in people who were unrelated to him.

If you can't improve your strength much, it's better to find a way to improve or solidify your position.

The Qin family, the wife's clan, is quite good.

Even getting them to move here would be quite difficult.

He still needs to try.

noon.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't go back; instead, he went to the Outer Guard Office to find Hikigaya.

He thought about it.

This guy is very likely courting disaster.

Let him have a son or a daughter, then let him do whatever he wants.

In this way, Komachi will have someone to rely on in the future.

Kyosuke Kousaka understood this perfectly well.

Being inexplicably transported to another world, and having a blood relative there, is a great comfort.

"Just a few days of direct supervision would save us all this trouble."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

He would certainly care about Hachiman's life or death.

The problem is that it's impossible to care about everything.

One instance of neglect could have killed him.

Just like yesterday's Onikiri.

Even if Onikiri was truly rational at that time, he was still lucky to be with Hikigaya.

But luck always runs out eventually, and then there's nothing you can do about it.

Kyosuke Kosaka takes this kind of thing in stride.

The problem is that Komachi must be devastated.

He remembers how Komachi would greet him with a cheerful smile and her little tiger teeth every time he returned, and how she would often feed him.

Or perhaps they'll occasionally mutter complaints about how they've grown up...

Kyosuke Kousaka finds it very difficult to be ruthless.

"Ah Ba".

"…Kyo-Kyosuke-sama."

"Come with me."

"--OK!"

He saw that Kyosuke Kosaka came directly to the government office where he worked to find him.

Hachiman had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Work can wait a few days, but when an important person calls, you can't be a moment late!

The two then continued on their way.

Upon arriving at the familiar mansion, Hachiman was worried that something might have happened to his sister.

Little did they know, Kousaka Kyosuke had simply had a maid summon Komachi.

"Kyosuke-sama! Ah, and my brother too..."

"..."

Hachiman looked dejected.

Komachi, you've changed.

They used to be so happy and joyful when they welcomed me home.

Why are you just calling me "brother" so perfunctorily now?

Kyosuke Kousaka ignored Hachiman's thoughts and simply smiled at Komachi, saying:

"Let's go somewhere else today, with me and your brother."

"Ok!"

Komachi nodded quickly, glancing sideways at her brother.

She felt she had guessed some of the details.

It must have been the naughty older brother who caused the trouble.

Hachiman noticed his sister's "cold" gaze and felt like crying.

He had expected this day to come, but he was still very sad!

"It's all my brother's fault."

"...It was my fault."

“I actually think your brother did a pretty good job; at least he protected the people around him.”

"...Thank you, Kyosuke-sama."

Hikigaya looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with emotion.

Kyosuke Kosaka showed no unusual reaction.

I thought to myself, "You're getting emotional too soon!"

Two quarters of an hour later.

The three of them arrived at the manor where Guan Gu Jun lived.

Kyosuke Kosaka instructed his men to prepare some things...

Realizing something was wrong, Hikigaya tried to run away, but Komachi immediately kept a close eye on him like a detective.

"You can escape, but I will never acknowledge their identities again."

Kyosuke Kosaka simply said one sentence.

Hikigaya immediately gave up the struggle.

At least private servants had some status.

If I were to lose my identity like those foolish classmates, I might as well be dead!

"What are your names?" Kousaka Kyosuke began writing on the contract.

The women who were called over were quite perceptive and began to speak one after another.

"patrol."

"South."

"Jiazhi".

"Ayaka."

Kyosuke Kosaka gave Hachiman a strange look.
