Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 611

Returning earlier than yesterday, Kyosuke Kosaka ate and took a bath with his spouses, just like he always does.

We did share a bed, but not this time...

He needs to rest, and so does everyone else.

Following the scent of flowers once more, my mind entered this world, which was probably a dream.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, saw that the spider lily was lying in a muddy ditch... What happened??

160. Feeding the Spider Lily / Not Being a Tool / Engaging with the Dark Side / Vermilion Bird Gate

"The other side of the flower!"

Without thinking twice, Kyosuke Kosaka quickly went over and bent down to help her up from the puddle.

"Hey, wake up! It's time for a story! I've thought of 150 stories for today, don't waste your time!"

Snap, snap.

Kyosuke Kosaka gently patted the face of the spider lily.

No matter how beautiful or delicate a face is, you would never kiss someone who is not related to you.

So it's more worthwhile to make some profit from this female monster!

It feels nice to touch, and makes the skin look soft and moist.

"...Hmm." The other shore flower finally raised a pair of hazy, misty eyes, and her bright red lips, as if painted with rouge, opened and closed unconsciously.

Kyosuke Kosaka gently swayed the spider lily he was supporting.

"Want to hear a story? Yes, I do. How about I tell you a story now?"

"Do not listen."

The dazed look on her delicate face gradually faded, and she turned slightly to break free from the support of the other shore flower, speaking softly.

Kyosuke Kosaka was somewhat disappointed, as he had thought he could take advantage of the female monster's inattention.

In the end, he made a fool of himself by being delusional.

"What's wrong with you? Do you need help?"

While asking questions, Kyosuke Kosaka cleaned the mud and grime off his body.

Standing there blankly, completely ignoring the mud and water stains on her body, the spider lily casually said, "I'm just going to sleep."

He's sleeping like he's dead!

Kyosuke Kosaka hesitated, but ultimately didn't say anything.

She's a woman, after all; she shouldn't say things that hurt a woman's self-esteem like that.

“I’m really sorry… How about I continue to help you fall asleep?” Kyosuke Kousaka said apologetically, carefully choosing his words.

He never expected that the spider lily would have such a unique taste, actually sleeping on the muddy puddle.

All I can say is that he still doesn't understand certain aspects of the nature of monsters.

Perhaps one day when he has some free time, he should compile a "Yokai Encyclopedia".

"We can't just let it go like that. You can't just ignore the fact that you woke me up." Higanbana smiled playfully at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Her crimson eyes were captivating and alluring, drawing you in completely.

The spider lily just stared at Kyosuke Kousaka.

Without hesitation, Kyosuke Kosaka said, "What is it? Tell me first."

If it's too difficult for you, run away quickly.

slip away!

The flowers of the red spider lily are not a necessity.

Furthermore, doesn't this look a lot like a staged accident?

"Bring some food from the mortal realm; I haven't eaten in ages."

"What do you want?"

"Take whatever you like." The spider lily seemed to have no pickiness about food.

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately produced a pot of steaming fish soup, a plate of steaming hot vegetable and meat buns, and pastries of various flavors from his magical space...

Although this is a dream, it is actually half real and half unreal.

Just like when Kyosuke Kousaka gave the butterfly spirit rice balls in the gap of dreams.

"Na..."

The red spider lily raised her pink eyebrows and covered her mouth as if she was very surprised.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, was able to clearly perceive a deep-seated displeasure in the woman's expression.

It seems that the red spider lily does indeed dislike these things.

That's not right either. Generally speaking, the red spider lily should not like hot food.

According to her character description, she enjoys all kinds of raw food and strong alcohol.

What I hate most is all kinds of hot food.

So, it seems we really did step on a landmine?

After thinking it over, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately took everything back and replaced it with a sea fish that was still being preserved with spiritual power.

"Oh dear! Change the food so quickly. Are you making me eat raw fish? If you like watching, that's fine too?"

"No, I'll cut it into small pieces for you."

Kyosuke Kosaka dodged the outstretched hand from the spider lily and quickly said...

He could barely accept eating sashimi.

But seeing others eat a whole raw fish, he figured he wouldn't be able to eat fish again in the future!

Immediately, Kyosuke Kosaka deftly took out the corresponding bowls, plates, knives, and tableware and began to cook.

The woman, whose body was soaked and whose long hair was slightly damp, looked quite disheveled. She lightly touched her fair and beautiful chin with her fingers.

The next moment, he was completely refreshed, clean and tidy.

Bright red flowers also sprouted from the ground, like straw mats and carpets spread out.

The red spider lily sat on the flower and quietly watched Kyosuke Kosaka make sashimi.

Only after Kyosuke Kosaka finished making it and mixing the ingredients did she ask him out of curiosity.

"Men cook food too?"

"It's different. Commoners and nobles live differently in the mortal realm. I wonder if you're aware of that?"

"I don't know. I've never touched any of the noble spirits, but I do know some of their deeds through other people's memories."

"Hmm... The nobles are the ones who frequently hold banquets, and some of these banquets occasionally feature a fish-cooking segment where the person of the highest status prepares the dish."

"Those nobles really have it tough. The person of the highest status cooks poorly, and everyone else has to praise it against their will."

"Compared to ordinary people, they are incredibly happy."

Kyosuke Kosaka struggled to suppress the urge to complain.

I, a nobleman, have truly failed.

While others party and indulge in romance every day, I brave the wind and snow, enduring hardships.

unfair.

"Would you like some wild ginger?" Kyosuke Kousaka took out another small section of columnar plant.

"Is it eaten with sashimi?"

"Most people are pretty accepting of it, would you like to smell it?"

"Um……"

The red spider lily crawled over on all fours.

Kousaka Kyosuke, kneeling and sipping the condiments, was somewhat taken aback.

The plump, mature bamboo shoots have perfect peak shapes, with beautiful lines spreading downwards, resembling slender and graceful willow branches and peaches that seem to contain juicy flesh.

The perfection of many things is sometimes revealed in a single action.

Kyosuke Kousaka saw it!

"Sigh... It's spicy, but refreshing. It tastes pretty good."

The creeping spider lily didn't think much of it. She closed her eyes and gently sniffed the wasabi that Kousaka Kyosuke had extended, a satisfied expression on her face.

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly suppressed his inner fantasies.

He has a whole host of women at home waiting for him to please them, so he can't afford to be reckless and do anything reckless.
