Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

The advantage is that it grants great power, and it also allows one to expand the influence of one's wife's family as a result.

He had no reason to refuse.

"That's why the Daoist Master asked you whether you were interested in Kyosuke or Arakawa's Water Department?"

"What?"

“Recently, some monsters in Arakawa have been causing trouble and need someone to guard them. I specifically recommended you to the Taoist Master. Although it’s a bit far, it shouldn’t be a difficult task for you, right?”

How many people are you in charge of?

"It was disbanded before, but recently, with the approval of the Taoist Master, it has begun to be reorganized."

"Then tell me the truth, what are the downsides?"

"The surrounding area has never been peaceful; there are quite a few monsters there."

"They'll have official documents and seals, right?"

“We have them all,” Fujiwara Michitsuna said with a smile.

He knew very well that Kyosuke Kousaka would not refuse.

Because he had long ago discovered that Kousaka Kyosuke intended to make good use of his wife's family.

Kyosuke Kousaka was indeed very happy about this.

He wouldn't hesitate much when it came to killing monsters.

As long as it's beneficial, that's fine!

Besides, we can finally openly go to the Arakawa River to catch river delicacies to eat!

Everyone's meals can be improved again!

After Fujiwara no Michitsuna left.

Kyosuke Kosaka began organizing people to move the rewards he had received to his new house.

The rewards are clearly very generous and come in a wide variety.

Kyosuke Kosaka only selected items that his partners would like to place in the old house where they still live.

I'll be moving into the new house the day after tomorrow, so I can avoid all the trouble.

Once everything was in order, Kousaka Kyosuke entered the inner quarters.

He came to deliver the good news.

Just now, Fujiwara Kaori and Susho, as noblewomen, could not appear in front of many people.

"Someone gave you a gift?"

Before she had even fully entered the inner courtyard, Su Chang rushed over upon hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's footsteps.

A pair of lively eyes sparkled with curiosity on a pretty face.

"Yes, things were done well, and the Taoist priest sent some rewards over."

Kousaka Kyosuke casually put his arm around Su Chang's slender waist and walked inside.

He also had to tell Fujiwara Kaori.

In recent days, I've noticed that this beautiful woman is becoming increasingly gentle and compliant.

Their nighttime conversations became increasingly intimate and passionate.

He felt that he had come to his senses because of Fujishikibu's matter.

Therefore, we must never neglect her feelings.

Kyosuke Kousaka would never do anything to criticize or belittle women.

The people living in the mansion are all so well-behaved.

Do we still need to issue warnings from time to time?

Where did he come from, some local tyrant?

"Xiangzi, the Daoist Master sent some gifts, including various kinds of incense that you like. Come, let's go take a look."

Seeing that Fujiwara Kaori had arrived dressed in a light willow-green silk dress, with Kirisu Mafuyu following behind, Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

Fujiwara Kaori smiled, her eyes alluring.

"Good~"

The slightly drawn-out tone conveyed gentleness and charm.

Kyosuke Kousaka's body gradually became hot.

Su Chang, who was being embraced, noticed the situation and smiled mischievously.

She brought her mouth close to Kyosuke Kosaka's ear.

"Good~"

A woman's unique body fragrance wafts out with her warm breath.

Kyosuke Kosaka tensed up.

"If you keep doing this, I'll carry you both inside right now."

"Even during the day, I wouldn't mind..."

"Come on, come on!"

Fujiwara Kaori and Su Chang successively issued challenges to fight.

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled: "We'll talk about it tonight. Let's go look at the gifts first."

Upon hearing this, Kirisu Mafuyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that if things really started, she wouldn't be able to escape.

"While I don't object, it's more ethical to come at night."

"Mafuyu is very disappointed."

"—!"

Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes widened, and when she looked up suddenly, she saw Fujiwara Kaori's teasing expression.

Kyosuke Kosaka waved his hand grandly.

"If it's true winter, you can come during the day!"

"...No, I am not disappointed, Kyosuke-sama."

Kirisu Mafuyu spoke stiffly.

As if remembering something, she immediately added, "Later is fine too."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

"I'll remember what you said."

"Go for it, Zhen Dong!" Su Chang encouraged him with a fist pump.

She gets along well with everyone and now treats everyone as a sister.

Kirisu Mafuyu simply nodded stiffly, like a robot without lubricant.

Fujiwara Kaori, standing next to her, gave a half-smile, but didn't actually laugh out loud.

Don't you all feel lonely when Kyosuke-sama isn't around?

Afterwards, the group walked to the side of the courtyard where the gifts were placed.

The other maids were also there.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply gathered everyone together to look at the gifts.

“These are relatively rare silk fabrics, as well as a wide variety of incense. Just tell me what you like.”

"Just treat it as something for my use, so there's no need to be too polite."

Fujiwara Koko agreed with a smile.

"Women dress up for those they love. It's always a good thing for everyone to dress up a little."

"After all, Lord Kyosuke has always wanted to establish a family business so that you wouldn't have to be too restrictive about your clothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet.

Komachi was the first to curiously raise her hand and ask a question.

"Madam, may I ask what the term 'housekeeper' is?"

Others don't really understand either.

Fujiwara Kaori immediately noticed Miku's expression.

"Miku, it seems you know this. Why don't you explain it to everyone?"
