Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1567

Xiangzi brought up a rather realistic issue.

Yes, reality is all about the mundane things like food and household chores.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka felt a surge of pride: "See, with me here, don't you feel like we've saved a lot of money?"

He used the power of the array to harmonize the temperature in the sleeping quarters, as well as in the east, west, and north rooms.

Therefore, temperatures that are too hot or too cold will not occur.

At times like this, as long as you stay indoors and keep the doors and windows closed, the coldness is relatively limited.

"Xiangzi is just worried that many things here will become more and more expensive in the future." Sei Shonagon rolled her eyes at Kousaka Kyosuke. Why is she praising herself? Shouldn't she or someone else be the one praising her?

Praising yourself isn't very convincing.

“There’s no need to worry about that,” Kousaka Kyosuke said. “I brought not only fruit from the world where the evil god resides, but also trees, minerals, and so on.”

Yang was speechless, his mood falling into a very subtle state.

As the person currently in charge of the main affairs of the residence, she is definitely the one who cares most about the prices of goods in Kyoto.

Because there will always be consumption within the mansion, it is impossible to be self-sufficient.

Besides food, there are other supplies that also need to be purchased.

Just like the charcoal that Xiangzi mentioned.

They certainly don't need it anymore, but others always need some.

As for the servants, it was impossible to install a stove or brazier in their rooms, but in the places where the main retainers and vassals worked, not adding charcoal to the stove was undoubtedly considered mistreatment.

There were also some visitors.

Even if Kyosuke Kosaka is not home, guests can still be received by the staff at the family residence.

Sometimes, because of her high status, she had to have someone summon Makoto, the father of the Princess, from the Outer Guard Office. Makoto is now the head of the Imperial Household Department.

During that time, we can't leave the guests in a cold space, can we?

Therefore, the place for entertaining guests must have a stove that is constantly running.

Otherwise, people would think they were being looked down upon, or that the mansion lacked strength... In short, the issue of face is far too complicated.

Unexpectedly, Kyosuke Kousaka returned from the other world and even took the trees with him.

"...Perhaps the most frugal and hardworking one is Lord Kyosuke."

Yang Nai felt a deep sense of admiration that was hard to explain. In any case, it was the first time she had ever seen a man capable of such a feat.

It actually gives off a feeling that it wants to outshine all women.

"Kyosuke-sama..."

Komachi was filled with the same emotions as Haruno, but she suddenly couldn't help but feel so moved that she almost burst into tears.

Isn't it too hard for a husband to fight against evil enemies and also to manage the household affairs?

This is probably because she, as a wife, hasn't tried hard enough...

"Hey, sigh...you guys," Kyosuke Kosaka noticed that everyone's expressions were slowly changing, becoming strangely familiar like before, and he couldn't help but feel helpless. "I just casually summoned a shikigami to do it, don't you dare think about anything else? Come on, let's all go take a bath."

Kousaka Kyosuke gently nudged Sei Shonagon, who was covering her mouth in astonishment not far away, and then nudged the others nearby.

How to put it? The most deadly thing is the unspoken imagining.

484. Farewell / Next preparations / Pray to the gods?

Day 510 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who really wanted to stay in bed, had to get up.

Having a night in the arms of a woman is already a rare treat.

Next, we must continue our actions.

He needs to make more thorough preparations for the next battle.

Therefore, all the people and things we cherish must be put aside for the time being.

"...Lord Kyosuke, we are doing perfectly well here, so you don't need to worry too much."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiangzi finally said what she wanted to say.

According to statistics, the amount of fragrant wood and minerals brought by Kyosuke Kosaka was exceptionally astonishing.

Xiangzi felt that even though Kousaka Kyosuke said that collecting shikigami wouldn't take much effort, it would still slow down her overall progress.

What Kousaka Kyosuke is about to do involves his own life and safety.

There is no reason not to take this seriously.

“Okay,” Kyosuke Kosaka readily agreed. “I won’t be doing those kinds of chores anymore at this stage of the battle.”

Because one vote is enough.

Not only were the resources at the manor replenished, but the resources at the residence in Kyoto were also replenished.

Therefore, he really didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

"Kagura, keep a close eye on Kyoto-sama too," Kaori reminded Kagura, who was playing with her goldfish ornament.

Like the people in the manor, the couples in the bedroom also received a "gift".

This includes Kagura.

Even though Kagura had always traveled with Kousaka Kyosuke.

This time, the souvenir she received was a waist accessory specially made for her by Kyosuke Kousaka. It was exactly the same as the goldfish on her head, no, even more lively and adorable. Kagura liked it very much.

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on Kyosuke," Kagura said earnestly to Kyoko, raising her small face.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but laugh and gently pinch Kagura's cheek.

"Is it really okay to say that to my face?"

"I was wrong."

"So you're not planning to change it, are you?"

"Well……"

Kagura blinked innocently.

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled and released Kagura: "Let's get ready for breakfast."

Although he really wanted to stay in bed, the fact is he got up very early.

His partners, who slept with him, also got dressed up very early.

Now we'll have breakfast together and then leave.

We arrived at the dining hall.

Everyone was dressed neatly and in excellent condition.

After greeting everyone, Kousaka Kyosuke sat down at the main table and began to eat, behaving like a patriarch.

Yes, he is indeed the head of the family here.

After finishing breakfast, Kyosuke Kousaka, who was about to leave, suddenly sensed Makoto's presence. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to her before leaving.

Makoto, Maki's father, is currently the highest-ranking official in the family residence and also Kousaka Kyosuke's representative both internally and externally.

During this period, he must have received many guests for him, and Kousaka Kyosuke felt it was necessary to listen to what he had to say.

Soon after, Kyosuke Kosaka found Makoto, who seemed to be planning to work at the Outer Guard Office.

"——Kyosuke-sama!"

Makoto, who was walking halfway, saw a male figure in the corridor. She was slightly taken aback at first, but then immediately realized what was happening.

Maki did not tell her parents about Kousaka Kyosuke's arrival.

At most, she gave a brief reminder in a letter when Kousaka Kyosuke returned from the other world. As for keeping things confidential, Maki felt that as a wife, she should do her best.

On this point, Maki's parents had no objections and were very supportive.

Therefore, Makoto had no idea about Kyosuke Kousaka's arrival this time.

“No need for formalities,” Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at his father-in-law, having already prepared warm tea. “Please have a seat.”

"Yes."

Makoto responded respectfully, while also considering the reason why Kousaka Kyosuke had come to see him.

We can't really just meet once.

And it was impossible for Kousaka Kyosuke to start a conversation right away. He first talked about Maki, then about Mikado, and chatted about everyday things.

"Speaking of Mikado... I don't really know much about him."

If it were the real Princess, Kousaka Kyosuke would definitely know that it wouldn't work.

But as for Mikado, whose real name should be Shijou Tei, the son of Makoto, Kousaka Kyosuke hasn't really paid attention to him yet.

However, before leaving, Kyosuke Kosaka made sure to keep him in Manabu Horikita's team.
