Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 623

She can guarantee it.

If it were any other nobleman serving as the head of the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment, they could forget about the rice from the granary.

Su Chang was well aware of the corruption among the nobles in Kyoto.

With officials protecting each other, it was extremely easy to embezzle grain.

Not to mention Yaodao-hime and Shiro.

Their loyalty was almost at its maximum from the moment they joined.

Demon Blade Princess: "I will definitely cut down all obstacles for Lord Kyosuke!"

White Wolf: "Kyosuke-sama, I will always support you..."

The two shikigami followed silently behind, their resolve strengthened.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was walking ahead, naturally sensed it and felt rather complicated.

how to say?

He wasn't a good person, but he wasn't a bad person either.

But everyone thinks of him as so noble, which puts a lot of pressure on him.

Torn between his thoughts, Kyosuke Kosaka arrived at the Oitsuki Shrine.

at this time.

Inside the shrine of the Moon Chaser, there were many women and children dressed in shabby, even ragged, clothes.

Hayasaka Ai and Shirogane Kei, dressed as shrine maidens, were busy running around.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at it and secretly shook his head.

Using a spell to block out the senses of others, he led them to a secluded room in the shrine.

The Moon Chaser, who was still standing by the statue, naturally followed them in.

"Can you hold on here?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked as soon as he saw Tsukijin enter.

The Moon Chaser was somewhat embarrassed. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, he said:

"More and more people are coming, even though it was agreed that only children and women would be allowed to come, there is still not enough food..."

She went hunting.

But the prey had already gone somewhere to hibernate, and due to the yin and miasma, many of them had fled.

They can't catch many at all; it's a drop in the ocean.

Furthermore, the Moon God cannot leave the shrine for too long.

Otherwise, they would be unable to use their power to maintain the temperature around the shrine, and they would all freeze to death.

“I knew it, so I brought a batch of coarse grains that were almost obsolete. You handle them properly and don’t cause a riot.”

Having already guessed the situation, Kyosuke Kousaka raised his hand and conjured five grains from his magical space.

Crushed grains, husks, beans, and the like are almost always the lowest quality food.

However, because it hasn't gotten moldy, it's still quite valuable.

Compared to moldy food, the best food is the kind that won't kill you.

“Hey… this…”

"You are my shikigami, so it is only natural for me to help you protect your followers. Besides, the more followers you have, the stronger you become, and you can also help me."

"Keep it up, Zhuiyue!" Su Chang patted Zhuiyue on the shoulder, encouraging him.

Yaodao-hime: "I must do my best for Kyosuke-sama."

White Wolf: "Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help..."

"There are only two shrine maidens in the shrine, are they enough to command?"

Kagura went straight to the point and asked the key question.

The Moon God hurriedly replied, "I will ask other believers who are strong, healthy, and kind-hearted to help!"

Kousaka Kyosuke was slightly surprised.

Going out to exercise was definitely the right thing to do; my mind works really fast now.

After thinking about it, he still reminded him:

"Try to choose those with the strongest faith, because in this tense time, food is more valuable than usual. If your faith is not strong enough, your willpower will be easily shaken."

Zhuiyue was slightly taken aback, then nodded seriously: "I know, I will never let anything that shouldn't happen happen!"

Kousaka Kyosuke snorted lightly.

"Then I'll be going now. What you do next is up to you. Do what you can, and just say so if you need help."

"……Yes!"

Chai Yue Shen replied.

Upon hearing the reply, Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and left with his men.

Watching Kousaka Kyosuke's departing figure, Tsukijin looked dazed, her rabbit ears bending from side to side. After a while, she hurriedly patted her cheeks with both hands.

"Drink whenever you want from now on... Consider this a way of repaying the favor, we don't owe each other anything..."

The last words were left unsaid by the Moon Chaser.

Her cheeks were burning hot as she began to realize that this was no longer a question of whether or not she owed anyone.

Go out.

Kousaka Kyosuke, along with Susho, Kagura, and others, briefly toured the outskirts.

When he encountered people who committed serious crimes, Kyosuke Kousaka killed them from a great distance.

After that, I returned to Kyoto and busied myself again until evening.

After returning to the mansion, he ate dinner, took a bath, and then went to sleep.

In the evening, I spent time with Xiangzi. As always, Xiangzi was considerate and didn't mind others joining in. As a result, a group of people were busy both during the day and at night.

"Kyosuke-sama, you can just close your eyes after it's over."

"I'm nestled in Kyosuke Kosaka's arms," ​​Kaori whispered, gently tossing her hair and lowering her alluring face.

Kagura, who was buried on the other side of Kousaka Kyosuke's chest, did the same at Kaori's instruction.

Kyosuke Kousaka was thoroughly enjoying himself in this situation, truly feeling like he was so happy he didn't want to leave.

The deliberately amplified smacking sound.

A cute, soft sucking sound.

The symphonic music gradually lulled Kyosuke Kousaka into a dream.

Originally, I wanted to return to a state of tranquil emptiness.

Kyosuke Kousaka, however, was drawn to a faint, elusive aura.

After some deliberation, he followed the scent to the somewhat familiar, dimly lit space.

"I'm sorry, I was very rude yesterday."

Upon appearing, Kyosuke Kosaka saw a beautiful woman with crimson eyes bowing her head in greeting.

"No, it was my fault for losing control yesterday," Kousaka Kyosuke said immediately, bowing his head.

At the same time, one should remain slightly vigilant.

It's not the kind of vigilance that comes from facing danger, but rather the vigilance that concerns the erosion of one's spirit.

PUA.

Kyosuke Kosaka sensed the PUA aura emanating from the spider lily.

He is a demon whose power is similar to that of Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

The red spider lily certainly has the qualifications to manipulate others.

Unfortunately, Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't like the way the spider lily manipulates him.

If anyone's going to use PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics, it's him!

"As a gift of apology, let me make you a cup of tea," the red spider lily said with a smile.

"I happen to have prepared some tea and snacks."

"Would you call this telepathy?"

"Nobody can say for sure."

Kousaka Kyosuke said vaguely.

Upon hearing this, the red spider lily chuckled, her beautiful face and almond-shaped eyes exuding a mature charm.

The two were sitting on a sea of ​​red flowers, drinking tea.

During this time, Kyosuke Kosaka naturally brought out the yokan (sweet bean jelly) made by Nino.
