Who is missing him?
Is it Nino, Miku, or Itsuki?
These three sisters are the most attached to me, that's for sure.
I must treat them gently again tonight.
Skipping over the thoughts that had suddenly made his heart burn, Kyosuke Kousaka continued writing official documents.
Yesterday's incident involving Fujiwara Yasuke's crime in the city was neither a major nor a minor matter.
Kyosuke Kousaka was too lazy to make a big fuss.
The blood clinging to Fujiwara Yasuke is cursed; whether he lives or dies is entirely up to him.
Kyosuke Kosaka planned to lock him up first, and then exile him to other wild lands according to the law after the extermination.
The wild lands outside Kyoto were filled with all sorts of bad luck and miasma.
It's normal to die accidentally.
Therefore, it can be said to be reasonable.
Well, let's wait until we've dealt with Fujiwara Yasumasa before discussing this further.
At Shen Shi (3-5 PM), the sun was blazing and scorching.
After leaving the government office, Kyosuke Kosaka did not immediately return.
Instead, they went directly to an old building in Ukyo.
"Hospital"
A welfare institution established approximately 400 years ago during the reign of Prince Shotoku.
Its function is to provide assistance to people in dire straits and the injured, regardless of age or gender.
Of course, after so many years, don't even think about asking for any benefits; it's already quite good that you've been able to stay.
According to reports, the Ministry of Finance is reportedly planning to cut some expenditures.
Therefore, it is simply impossible for such welfare institutions to continue to exist.
A few days ago, I overheard a colleague vaguely mentioning that the Ministry of Finance was planning to reduce the stipends of members of the Imperial Family...
When Kousaka Kyosuke heard this, he immediately sensed something was wrong!
How could the royal family, as the largest and most prestigious elite class of this era, possibly reduce their spending?
At that moment, Kyosuke Kosaka had only one thought—he had to make a move against the officials in the imperial court!
After all, the officials in the Ministry of Finance are not stupid.
How could someone so defiantly provoke the royal family?
A van full of princes and princes could probably drown them all with a single spit.
Even considering Kyosuke Kousaka's worst-case scenario...
It's even more likely that the fire will spread to the middle-ranking nobles, who are numerous in number and have also siphoned off a lot of money from the court!
It is estimated that the imperial court's expenditures were insufficient, so it planned to cut spending by targeting the officials.
"After you've subdued him, you should still visit the Taoist priest more often..."
Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.
Now that a new house is being built, the manpower will definitely need to be expanded.
Once they have the corresponding family name and status, Yukinoshita and Chitanda can also receive family seals and be included in the family register.
It's safer now, and I can wear better-looking clothes too.
wrong.
Human desires cannot be so easily satisfied!
Kousaka Kyosuke came to his senses immediately.
For now, we should try our best to demonstrate our value and associate ourselves with the Taoist priest to improve our status and make things easier in the future.
That's right, if you can't improve your strength, improve your status.
Kyosuke Kousaka regained his composure.
They then stepped into a desolate courtyard and arrived at the center of the sanatorium.
There's no one to look after them; they must really be poor.
"Excuse me, sir..."
A short-haired woman wearing a white blouse appeared from another corner of the yard.
Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at the woman's short black hair again and said:
"I'd like to provide medical personnel for several of my estates. Do you have any suitable candidates here?"
Without introducing himself, Kyosuke Kosaka went straight to asking questions.
Because it is not necessary.
It's not that I'm too arrogant, but being too polite to ordinary people will only attract strange looks.
"Would you be willing to move to my humble abode for a more detailed discussion, sir?"
"Ah."
Kyosuke Kosaka nodded.
He came with sincerity.
Yaodao-hime is going to be an aunt, so Kousaka Kyosuke naturally has to protect the safety of her future nephew and niece.
The thought of the Demon Blade Princess's hand, which could have ruthlessly killed someone, pushing him towards her, and how weak she was, probably not even as strong as an ox, made him realize how ridiculous it was.
Kyosuke Kousaka instinctively became excited.
Although this might be considered a strange fetish, he still couldn't control himself...
In short, I need to take good care of Yaodao-hime's younger brother before I leave.
58. Physicians / Farewells Before Retirement / The Battlefield Has Begun
Led by the woman, Kyosuke Kosaka entered the main building of the sanatorium.
He then quickly bought 20 doctors and took them away for 3 shi (a unit of dry measure), roughly one-third of the annual income of nine officials of the same rank.
The group of doctors had all learned medical knowledge from the Tang Dynasty and knew the most basic acupuncture and medication.
Therefore, Kyosuke Kousaka still favors him.
By the way.
There were actually physicians in the palace, but they didn't appear very often.
When a person of high status falls ill, it is customary to ask a monk to pray for them.
It is indeed highly efficient.
"You two will only be responsible for treating the women." Looking at the two female doctors, Kyosuke Kosaka spoke slowly.
"Yes, my lord."
The two female doctors with short hair quickly bowed and lowered their heads.
Kousaka Kyosuke did not respond, but instead exchanged a few more words with Sekiya Jun inside the manor before leaving.
Jun Sekiya felt complicated as he watched Kyosuke Kousaka leave.
My heart is hoping that after this treatment, my niece's owner will be able to return safely.
Day 84 of crossing
Kyosuke Kosaka lay lazily in the spacious Japanese-style room where he usually stayed, and where he could see the entire garden at a glance.
The women around were either practicing calligraphy, reading books, or knitting clothes.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Kyosuke Kosaka had never imagined such a situation.
I feel like it would be bad if I didn't achieve something in Oeyama.
It is said that Onikiri is currently at his peak.
He is even stronger than Ibaraki-doji at his peak, so fighting him is really dangerous.
With so many "little butterflies" influencing the plot, it's very likely that it won't be as lighthearted as the original story.
No... it doesn't seem easy in the original story either.
It was only through Onikiri's incredible one-for-one exchange, coupled with Shuten-dōji's momentary daze upon recognizing Onikiri, that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was able to kill him with a single blow.
It seems I need to be very, very serious.
The only question is how many people will die.
