Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 753

Seeing that Fuji Shikibu looked somewhat tired, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but say something.

“No need…” Fujishibu shook his head slightly, gently raised his hand to straighten his red-and-purple outer garment, and then raised his chin slightly.

My husband's thoughts are always a bit strange.

Sometimes I wish she would just wear an outer garment when she bowed. Although I didn't quite understand, it inevitably stirred up some rather subtle emotions.

Kaori, who was already clinging to Kyosuke Kousaka, understood perfectly.

The hazy beauty described by Bai Juyi as "half-covering one's face in embarrassment" is extremely alluring.

tsk...

A slight sound ended.

Kousaka Kyosuke held Fujishikibu and Kaori in his arms.

Fujishikibu pursed her lips, a hint of resentment clearly appearing on her rosy and beautiful cheeks.

She thought to herself that it would be better to call Su Chang over again.

"Lord Kyosuke, please don't neglect Kagura these next few days. You'll be marrying Maki in a few days."

"I'll keep that in mind. Please take note. What did Kagura and Komachi do today?"

"They've all gone to feed the frogs, hehe. I heard that the frogs' words and actions are very interesting."

“You haven’t seen this before, let me show you.”

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his hand and used his spiritual power to manifest frogs such as Ibaraki-dōji, Arakawa-dōji, and Higanbana-dōji.

It projected an image that was indistinguishable from the real thing very easily.

"They are indeed very cute. I heard that Ibaraki-dōji is very good at taking care of its companions, and Higanbana-dōji is very elegant..." Xiangzi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka immediately understood that the frog incident was quite a topic of interest.

I wonder what Tamamo-no-Mae was thinking?

Could it be that there isn't enough money for food, so they're letting the frogs roam freely for now?

“Those great demons that were imitated don’t seem to have much malice towards humans,” Fujishikibu suddenly said.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded: "Yes, in reality they ignore humans, so there's no such thing as malice towards them."

"Lord Kyosuke and these great demons became friends after a fight..." Xiangzi teased.

She was very clear about the situation of Kousaka Kyosuke and the yokai Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

Because Kyosuke Kousaka often mentions it in private.

For example, when Ibaraki-dōji sought out Shuten-dōji, he asked Kōsaka Kyōsuke for help.

This is all due to their incredibly easygoing personalities.

"To be honest, there's no need for us to continue being hostile to each other. What if I get seriously injured by them? Wouldn't that be a loss for us?"

Kyosuke Kousaka said earnestly.

He never underestimated any great monster.

Even the seemingly weak spider lily could probably produce a big one.

Each of them possesses unique skills, and when they are about to be killed, they would never hesitate to take someone down with them.

Shuten-dōji was really too careless back then.

Otherwise, his physical strength and demonic power, which are almost far superior to those of Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Onikiri, would definitely have been enough to wear someone down to death.

"Yes, it's good that you know, Kyosuke-sama. Protecting yourself is the most important thing."

"Lord Kyosuke is a pillar of Kyoto and should be kept in reserve until he is of use."

Compared to Xiangzi, Fujishikibu spoke in a very formal and serious manner, which made Kousaka Kyosuke want to laugh.

He didn't laugh, but Xiangzi laughed first.

Fujishikibu lowered his eyes and brows, his gaze seemingly unfocused.

Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but lower his head, while Fuji Shikibu leaned back slightly.

Xiangzi chuckled and simply bent down...

Day 293 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka took Fumino to visit the Kamo clan.

Even if Fumino's parents are here, her older brothers are still Kamo Yasunori and Kamo Yasutane.

In the end, the Kamo clan was truly unlucky.

I'm always getting into all sorts of trouble.

Only the Taoist priest's luck could suppress it.

Sometimes, Kyosuke Kosaka thought, not without malice, that the Taoist priest must have struggled for a long time before accepting the surrender of the Kamo clan.

Who told Kamo-shiki to have served Michitaka, Ichishu, Michikane, and other failed men?

He's just like a jinx.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to talk about something. Wait a bit and I'll come find you."

"You don't need to worry."

Fumino hurriedly said to Kousaka Kyosuke.

She wasn't too nervous.

Despite the fact that Kamo no Yasunori and Kamo no Yasutane would always send her gifts and greetings on holidays, she was still very grateful to these two brothers who were not related to her by blood.

Fumino knew very well that she was able to have such good conditions thanks to her two older brothers.

Even though one understands that one exists only as a tool for marriage, one should still know how to be grateful.

"Your room is still available. Let's go back and take a look. I'll feed you meat buns then, how about that?"

"This...this...of course!"

"Don't worry, I won't recall anything else," Kousaka Kyosuke immediately assured him.

Upon hearing this, Fumino's cheeks burned like fire, turning bright red with embarrassment.

How could she not know what had happened in the original room?

After being fed by Kyosuke Kosaka, they began what couples usually do, but because of excessive exercise, her stomach started growling again, so Kyosuke Kosaka started feeding her again...

This cycle made her feel ashamed.

Especially after moving to her current residence, which remained the same, she became completely "socially frustrated".

Seeing that the teacher was also staring intently, Fumino almost broke down...

However, as the teacher pretended not to know her, the matter was dropped.

However, there is always a little awkwardness when there is a banquet, and it is really difficult for everyone to pretend that they do not know each other.

But Kyosuke Kousaka really wanted to complain about this kind of thing.

I wonder if Mafuyu has noticed?

As long as she remained expressionless and stood with her back straight, Kyosuke Kousaka knew that she was in a complete panic and was almost screaming for help.

Ignoring these humorous moments, Kousaka Kyosuke began to ponder his interactions with Kamo.

He had a feeling that his brother-in-law might need to talk to him about something.

After considering it, he thought it didn't matter.

Ultimately, the Kamo clan was one of the three great Onmyoji families, and even though it was beginning to decline, it was still a very powerful force.

There are too many crises ahead, and the rescue will inevitably be carried out primarily by Onmyoji.

Even now, due to frequent safety incidents, the Onmyoji of the Kamo clan are always hired by nobles, or even become their vassals or exclusive Onmyoji.

Therefore, the Kamo clan's intelligence network and hidden potential strength should not be underestimated.

Upon arriving at Kamo's residence.

Fumino retreated to another place first, while Kousaka Kyosuke chatted with Yasunori and Yasutane.

After exchanging pleasantries for only a short while, the main topic came up.

“These days, miasma often occurs at sea. Kyosuke, you need to be careful if you go out to sea.”

"Brother Baoxian, may I be so bold as to ask about the details?"

When Kamo no Yasunori brought up the matter at sea, Kosaka Kyosuke panicked again, and didn't forget to call Yasunori "brother" in private.

Having a kinship relationship is something you can use; you might as well use it, and it also demonstrates your closeness.

Bao Xian pondered for a moment: "The clansmen who went to Da Zi Fu only said that there were many strange phenomena, all related to demons and ghosts. Also, some small sea monsters have lurked in Kyoto Port, seemingly plotting something sinister."

Kyosuke Kosaka looked serious, and he was also very serious inside.

—The Sea Kingdom is preparing for war, so they're gathering intelligence here.

"It seems that the future at sea will inevitably be turbulent."
