Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 751

Goto muttered to himself: My sister, who neither works nor gets married, will have to rely on me to support her from now on...

Day 291 of crossing

On his second day at work, Goto Naoki received good news.

However, this good news left him somewhat bewildered.

"...Kyosuke-sama's residence."

"Yes, it just so happens that Lord Kyosuke also wants to find some people from the clan to be his vassals."

Fujiwara Tomoyuki said this as a matter of course.

Mutual assistance within the clan is a given.

However, he also knew that this reasoning was untenable, especially for the Fujiwara clan, which had many branches.

It's considered kind of them not to fight each other.

Not to mention that every year some people are "removed from the family register" because they are too poor to maintain the honor of their surname, becoming true commoners and ignored by everyone.

"It seems that Lord Kyosuke has something else he wants to discuss with you. He'll be here later, so please get ready."

"...Is it some kind of preparation, Lord Zhixing?"

"I asked, my body a little stiff."

Fujiwara Tomoyuki smiled:

"Keep a calm mind and don't be nervous. This is preparation. Apart from disliking people who don't do anything, Lord Kyosuke doesn't care much about formalities. Just do what you need to do."

Having already guessed that Kyosuke Kosaka would give Naoki Goto a more important role, Tomoyuki Fujiwara was even more enthusiastic than before.

Because the Fujiwara surname guarantees a fairly high potential for future promotions.

Like him.

Kyosuke Kosaka had hinted to him that if he worked harder, he might be able to get the position of a junior officer in the future.

While Fujiwara Tomoyuki understood that this was very difficult, he had faith in Kousaka Kyosuke.

Even if he can't achieve it, it doesn't matter. At least he can easily be promoted to the sixth rank.

The same applies to the younger generation in front of them.

Sometimes, bloodline can be really useful.

Soon after, a nervous Goto Naoki saw the highest-ranking official of the Prosecutor's Office, Kosaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka was quite surprised to see Naoki Goto.

This is the father of a socially anxious netizen. If you look closely, he really does resemble the male lead... His long hair and bangs are because his eyes are slightly upturned and sharp, no wonder.

"Forget it, just leave her at the northeast room and let her continue being socially awkward."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

This was the only thing he could do for a few close friends.

192. Recognizing Relatives / Moving into the Goto Family / Visiting the Kamo Clan / Goto Ichiri's Thoughts

"Kyosuke-sama..."

"Yes, come with me."

Kousaka Kyosuke gave a curt reply to Goto Naoki's greeting, smiled, and led his men out.

He planned to take Goto Naoki to his uncle, Kyoko, to meet him.

Since they all share the surname Fujiwara, they are considered to have the same roots.

After recognizing his relatives, Kyosuke Kosaka gradually promoted him to the fifth rank.

Although it was extremely difficult.

But this can be considered as giving Xiangzi, the original wife, a little bit of protection.

Xiangzi has a good relationship with Mafuyu and Miharu, which will make the group feel more at ease in the future.

Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't as worried about the situations of his other spouses.

They all have parents and siblings to rely on, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Father-in-law Dadi and his group have decent personalities, but ultimately there are just too many of them..."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

The number of available slots on his side is becoming increasingly limited.

Since we can't help Fujiwara Masataka, Fujiwara Masakazu, and others much, we plan to develop steadily and take it slow.

This is a military organization, after all. Only those with the biggest fists can get promoted quickly. The clerical positions are just for the fathers-in-law to support in their old age.

In short, they couldn't help Fujiwara Masataka and the others.

They walked out of the procuratorial office.

Kyosuke Kosaka then took the initiative to explain some of the situation, which left Naoki Goto quite astonished as he gradually learned about it.

Goto Naoki felt a surge of flattery.

"Lord Kyosuke, there are many outstanding people in the clan. I may not be as talented as them, but I will do my best!"

"I think I have a pretty good eye for people. Do you have any other questions? Feel free to ask."

"I have no doubt. I will certainly follow Lord Kyosuke's orders in the future."

Naoki Goto bowed his head and pledged his loyalty without hesitation.

He had no intention of feigning refusal.

Who knows if the adult in front of you will be unhappy, or take it seriously?

He has a virtuous wife, two adorable daughters, and a small dog at home, all of whom need to be well cared for.

"The whole family moved into Lord Kyosuke's mansion, and Jimmy Heng was still able to..."

“I heard you have a dog at home, why don’t you bring it over too? I really like dogs.”

"...Yes, Master Kyosuke."

Goto Naoki, who was beginning to suspect that Kousaka Kyosuke might be able to read minds, became increasingly cautious.

After that, he carefully followed Kousaka Kyosuke to a house and recognized an old man in his fifties as his godfather.

After the matter was over, Kyosuke Kosaka told Naoki Goto to go back to his place and prepare to move.

Although he felt a bit rushed, Goto Naoki still obeyed the orders very respectfully.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was about to send someone to help with the move, thought, "That should be enough, right?"

In this world, being safe and sound and having enough to eat is already a great blessing.

That should be enough.

But should we also find a reason to send that socially awkward musical instrument?

Because this socially awkward person relied on a guitar to relieve boredom, and incidentally gained a group of fans by releasing music videos, who then "pampered" her, and that's how she managed to survive all these years.

"I should have known better than to have her rely on comfort to survive. It doesn't look too good."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought again.

He's been hooked for several years and has incurred a lot of sunk costs.

I feel very uncomfortable if I don't pay attention to it now.

After all, in this era, neglecting one's duties can easily lead to tragic situations.

Then he thought about how many of his PUA skills were developed from this socially awkward person, and he felt that he still couldn't be too awful.

Ironically, because PUA (Pick-Up Artist) is too easy for someone with social anxiety, he doesn't find it very fun.

Before he traveled to this Heian period, Kousaka Kyosuke would only respond with a few indifferent words each day.

Although he seems like a scumbag, doesn't he have his own things to do?

Going forward, just keep an eye on the situation.

In the afternoon, I took my wife to my mother's house again...

Day 292 of crossing

Today, Kyosuke Kosaka took Shikibu Fuji to his older brother's house.

Kousaka Kyosuke, with Fujishikibu by his side, happily made his way to their destination inside the oxcart.

Naoki Goto was on leave today and had just moved in with his family, feeling quite uneasy.

Knowing that showing unease would affect his wife and daughters' emotions, he tried his best to remain calm.

"Lord Naoki, Lord Kiyotaka, Lord Hachi, Lord Gaku, and their families live in the northeast room..."

Kikyo Kushida, who was leading the way, explained the situation in a soft voice.

Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, Horikita Manabu, and the others had already gone to work, leaving only their relatives inside.
