Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"This is enough to make Lady Enmusubi keep nagging about us. I even feel my ears getting hot. Lady Enmusubi must be complaining about me."

"Let me see."

"..."

Kasumigaoka blushed, lowered her eyes, and let Kousaka Kyosuke examine her ears.

at the same time.

The spirit of matchmaking in the shrine was lying on the ground in a "big" shape, muttering to itself.

"They're not going to do anything reckless in broad daylight, are they? At least eat something and replenish your energy... I'm starving..."

Day 475 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was staying at the manor, had to get busy early in the morning.

The tasks they were busy with were related to farming.

Since the Han clan brought sweet potatoes, the more they planted, the better. However, due to the limited quantity, they had to keep planting them, which required magical means to accelerate their growth.

Only in this way can a certain number of seeds be obtained in the early stages.

"Kyosuke-sama, please be prepared to stay here all day," Shizuko said, stating the work period in advance.

Looking at her upright posture and the imposing presence that made her pride seem even more magnificent, Kousaka Kyosuke understood that there was no option of "refusal".

"Thank you all for your hard work. I hope Hiyoribou will be full of energy today as well."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who wasn't worried about the others, first comforted Hiyoribo, who had become a "human power bank".

Because Hiyoribo can absorb sunlight through its companion sunflowers, it is currently playing a vital role in providing ample sunlight.

Even today, we still greatly need the shikigami Hiyoribou.

It's raining again.

These days, not only are the serpentine traces of the Yamata no Orochi becoming more and more obvious in the sky, but the weather has also deteriorated considerably, with rain occurring six or seven out of ten days.

If there hadn't been some unrest, it would have been truly disheartening.

Fortunately, the manor was not like that; everything was still thriving.

Perhaps it was related to the previous celebrations, or perhaps it was related to the band's performance, but in any case, it didn't become lifeless, and that was enough.

"Kyosuke-sama, don't worry, I'm just as determined as everyone else! I'll always be full of energy!"

Hiyoribo clenched his fists, his face full of fighting spirit.

Kyosuke Kosaka patted her head again: "What a good girl."

“Lord Kyosuke, I’m the same age as everyone else, not a child,” Hiyoribou corrected.

She felt she was being treated differently.

That's not necessary; treating everyone the same is fine.

"I can't quite tell... haha." Kousaka Kyosuke laughed sheepishly. He glanced at Kagura next to him for comparison and found that Hiyoribou's somewhat childish cheeks were just as tender as Kagura's.

How should I put this?

Hmm!

The smiling face of Hiyoribou has vanished, replaced by a puffy, round face.

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best to treat you like an adult."

It is "definitely".

"well."

Kousaka Kyosuke coaxed Hiyoribou, who was throwing a tantrum.

Hiyoribou's behavior is exactly the same as that of Princess Goldfish when she was a child; she definitely can't be left uncoaxed.

If you really compare Hiyoribou to Princess Goldfish, she is much more obedient and has a gentler temperament, except when she steps on a "trigger point," like she is now.

"Hiyoribou is also acting cute towards Kyosuke-sama."

Chitanda was quite pleased and began whispering to Shizuko.

In her opinion, Hiyoribou, who always behaved very politely, was too reserved. It would be more reasonable for her to act like a child occasionally, which would make her look healthier both physically and mentally.

“Yes,” Shizuko agreed, silently adding to herself, “But at the same time, we face even greater ‘dangers’; we might lose something.”

Whatever, as long as this harmonious life isn't disrupted, that's fine~

same.

Even Yaobikuni, who had only stayed for one day, felt that the place was very harmonious.

It was so harmonious, just like the life she had always longed for.

"Although I've lived here before, I've never really looked around carefully."

Tennoji Miri, walking shoulder to shoulder with her, looked solemn.

“Then let’s look at everything carefully, Miss Yaobikuni. Let’s not get lost in confusion anymore. Even if we are confused, we must keep moving forward and struggle to the very end with all our might.”

"Hmm, the song 'The Starry Night' that the Mingchu Band played yesterday was really nice. They are also confused, and they seem to be planning to move forward. It just feels like they are all obsessed and trapped together."

"...I wasn't talking about songs!"

Tennoji's beautiful cheeks flushed, and she retorted loudly.

She really liked the Mingchu Band, especially the seemingly timid but fearless Deng who seemed to forget his fear when he went on stage and just wanted to play with everyone, and the keyboardist Xiangzi who played the keyboard skillfully and beautifully.

But this isn't about the song!

"Want to get to know them? As guests, we're entitled to do so too."

"Please do not cause them any trouble, Miss Yaobikuni."

"Causing trouble? I might actually be quite popular. After all, I'm recognized by many people for my divination skills, and my presence might just be perfect for them."

"...In short, you must not rely on the guests' power to do this, otherwise things will fall apart." Tennoji Miri's attitude was very firm.

When she thought of what Yaobikuni had said, she thought of some of the hot topics that often appeared on television and in magazines.

Many of these incidents involve fans causing trouble for their idols or celebrities. Tennoji Miri had no intention of becoming one of them, nor did her temporary companion, Yaobikuni.

“I just happened to run into Miss Kinnara while taking a walk last night, and she even invited me to visit the venue where the bands are playing.”

"...It was quite late when we parted last night. Was Miss Yaobikuni still out at that time?"

"Let's go for a walk. The moonlight last night was especially beautiful, and the road here is incredibly smooth. The moonlight shining on it is like a gently flowing river. It's so pretty and fun to walk on."

"Hey, you've been doing so many things behind the scenes."

"We can continue our walk together tonight. I saw you were too tired last night."

"...It's raining."

Tennoji Temple is beautiful. Looking into the distance, the mist rises and falls, creating a hazy, dreamlike landscape.

At this moment, the two of them were holding umbrellas and wearing high wooden clogs, walking slowly along the edge of the road.

“It looks even better on rainy days, as long as it doesn’t rain heavily at night,” Yaobikuni said with a smile.

I temporarily put aside my busy work on detoxification and found some relief.

She found herself enjoying her peaceful life more than ever before.

There are busy villagers, villagers who get a chance to rest, and monsters who come from the outside to spy on and enjoy the conveniences of human life... Everyone is doing their own thing, making up the whole manor.

"I hope it doesn't rain heavily tonight."

Tennoji Mimi said softly.

Looking closely at the world in the rain, she felt as if she were enveloped by a soft filter, falling into a light ink painting.

Even though she was in Kyoto and encountered similar weather and street scenes, she felt nothing at all.

But it's different here.

She has the keen eye to discover inner beauty.

Is it due to my mood?

Or is it the harmonious local customs and culture here?

I didn't dwell too much on the beauty of Tennoji Temple; I'd rather focus on the present.

"Miss Yaobikuni, when did you arrange to meet Miss Kinnara?"

"Let's have lunch together at noon, meet everyone, and that will help strengthen our friendships."

"Conversations at the dinner table..."

"Yes, Mr. Kyosuke likes it this way, so it must be very popular here."

"Hmm, is that so..."

Tennoji Miri blushed.

She thought back to the time when she first met Kyosuke Kousaka.

Just then, Kyosuke Kosaka was about to say goodbye, but she started having stomach rumbling from walking too much. Just thinking about that scene made her want to die!
