Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 526

Thinking of the water snakes intertwined before she left the mansion, she felt both shy and delighted.

Even if we can't be like Fujishikibu... there are still many ways.

It's so nice to be husband and wife.

Si hour.

Having already bid farewell to Minamoto no Hiromasa, Kousaka Kyosuke, accompanied by Kagura, observed the relief efforts along the route.

We discovered that many more people had died from freezing, starvation, or sudden death on the road.

There were even some bandits and outlaws who gathered somewhere to rob those who had received relief.

Kyosuke Kosaka handled the situation discreetly, his mind remarkably calm.

In contrast to the orderly process within Kyoto, the relief efforts in the suburbs could only be described as chaotic and disorganized.

Until firefighters and guards began to display the bodies of criminals in a large and elaborate manner.

This gradually brought things into a completely stable state.

"As for the body, dispose of it as soon as possible."

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly explained to Tomoyuki Fujiwara.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki immediately bowed his head and accepted the order.

"Is the relief food enough to last for a few more days?" Kyosuke Kosaka asked again.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki: "Three days."

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his eyes in deep thought.

Relief efforts are inherently thankless tasks, yet they are unavoidable.

If too many people die within Kyoto, it can easily lead to the arrival of the calamity and evil god incarnation that occurred when you first transmigrated.

If we focus on epidemic prevention and control, we will waste a lot of manpower and resources.

Not to mention the various conspiracies and schemes from the Great Serpent's side.

Beset by internal and external troubles, Kyoto may really be doomed first.

be honest.

Kyosuke Kosaka truly admires how optimistic these nobles are!

Not over yet? They should be thankful they have a large enough number of samurai and onmyoji.

It's fortunate that Kyosuke Kousaka now has a family business.

Otherwise, if he were still alone, he would probably seek out the amusement of these Kyoto nobles.

Sigh, it's no use saying all this now.

Those who have already benefited should keep quiet and do their jobs.

Afterwards, Kyosuke Kosaka continued to observe in the suburbs.

After eliminating several man-eating monsters and numerous rampaging bandits, he returned to his residence with Kagura to rest.

Waiting for dinner, waiting for a bath.

This is what motivates Kyosuke Kousaka for the day.

Swish~

"Lord Kyosuke!" A lively and spirited voice rang out.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who was embracing Kagura and lost in thought, looked at Su Chang who had suddenly entered, but he wasn't surprised.

He simply raised his hand.

She suddenly rushed into his arms and greeted Kagura familiarly beside her.

"Kagura~"

"Su Chang, you're back."

"Yes, I'm back~"

The two girls, each leaning on Kousaka Kyosuke, greeted each other amicably.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who subconsciously wanted to lower his arm around Su Chang, stopped himself.

Now is not the time.

"Su Chang, what were you doing at the Water Department today?"

"We're hunting and fishing as usual, but there are more evil monsters invading today than yesterday!"

"Be careful."

"Yes, yes, Kagura, how are you today?"

"Lord Kyosuke is on patrol, inspecting the relief efforts for the disaster victims..."

Kagura recounted her day's experiences in a soft, gentle voice.

Su Chang listened quietly, feeling a pang of regret for the deaths of those people.

"Kagura, don't be too sad. We've donated all the old grain at home; we've done our part."

"Yes, I've done everything I needed to do, that's enough."

"Yeah, try to be happy!"

"Thank you for your encouragement and comfort, Su Chang."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who barely spoke throughout, had his eyelids twitching.

He realized that he probably didn't need to worry about Kagura at all.

Kagura was surprisingly precocious.

Just like his seemingly lively wife, Su Chang.

They understand all the principles.

It's just that their appearance can easily lead to misunderstandings.

So shouldn't we...?

No! Let me check again.

Day 251 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who received the invitation yesterday, did not go out to work.

Instead, they quietly awaited the arrival of their guests.

It snowed quite heavily today.

Pure white snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, like beautiful silver butterflies dancing in the air.

Sitting on the veranda of the mother's room, Kyosuke Kousaka quietly watched as a crystal-clear fairytale world was built.

Couples who enjoy appreciating scenery also joined Kousaka Kyosuke in enjoying the view.

Chika exclaimed with delight, "So beautiful!"

Mengye: "The garden where vegetables and fruits are grown is still so green."

Chika: "I'm already craving food before noon..."

Xiangzi, who was about to praise the beautiful scenery, was choked half to death and rolled her eyes in anger.

She knew that her distant cousin, Chika, wouldn't say anything nice.

They used to practice calligraphy and read books, but now they've all become addicted to board games!

That's really enough to make you suffer.

“Winter mornings are the best time to sleep…” Fujishikibu also made his own comment.

Kyosuke Kousaka was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this the first story of "The Pillow Book"?

Did Murasaki Shikibu in history so easily agree with her opponent?

Not only did Kousaka Kyosuke think this way, but everyone else who knew that Fujishikibu was a historical figure was also stunned.

Kyoko, Yukino, Fumino, and Mafuyu Kirisu, who were well-versed in the classic works, all seemed to be deep in thought.

A light and blissful feeling floats between the lines of "The Pillow Book".

It's a kind of inner, gentle, feminine strength...

Kyosuke Kosaka was actually quite familiar with "The Pillow Book" and immediately understood that Shikibu Fuji was expressing his own happiness.

I found it funny, but I was also very happy.

Another half hour passed.

In the mother's room, some were reading, some were practicing calligraphy, and some were playing board games...

Upon hearing that guests had arrived, Kyosuke Kosaka led Kagura to the main hall.

The visitor was none other than Minamoto no Hiromasa.
