Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 337

Even though I'm not even twenty years old, I still have to go drinking.

Not drinking is disrespectful to others.

Hachiman didn't want to make any more enemies.

It's okay to force yourself to drink.

This era is too serious.

Saving face can really lead to many tragedies.

Seeing the farm manager keep pouring him wine, he had no choice but to drink it.

Is it okay if I only think about pouring the wine myself...?

He felt a little dizzy.

While Hachiman and the headman were drinking as if no one else was around.

Ayanokoji can now interrogate people.

"what's your name?"

"Hayato."

What is your relationship with this person?

“He…” Hayama Hayato hesitated, looking at Tobe Sho, who was being pointed at by Ayanokouji.

He was lost in thought.

What exactly is his relationship with Hubu Xiang?

Classmate? Friend?

What exactly did he take Hobu Sho for?

Hayato Hayama's father, Masato, was furious.

He had just repeatedly told his son that if anyone asked, he should say that it had nothing to do with Hubu Xiang!

Have you completely forgotten about it now?

Masato had no idea how conflicted Hayama Hayato was.

He actually realized that his classmate, Tobe Sho, was very likely to die.

That's why I was so confused and couldn't remember anything...

"Next one."

Ayakoji raised her hand expressionlessly and pointed to a burly man next to Hayama Hayato.

"Do you know who this lowly person has close ties with? If you don't, it doesn't matter..."

"It's Hayato!"

The burly man kneeling on the ground spoke without hesitation.

The moment the burly man spoke, the air seemed to fall silent.

Hayato Hayama was taken aback at first, then lowered his head as if relieved.

The politician watched this scene with a blank expression.

I wasn't surprised at all.

When faced with the threat of death, even loved ones might be abandoned.

Geng Chenglun is just an ordinary classmate.

The son thought he could save everything on his own.

"Only one person? Could it be that you're just randomly pointing fingers because you're related to this lowly commoner?"

"Not just Hayato! There's also Yumiko, Hina, Yori, Riya..."

He quickly rattled off a string of names.

Ayanokouji was not surprised.

He didn't mean anything by it.

They just want to eliminate this disgusting group that's affecting Hachiman.

"So it seems... as expected, it's a group centered around Hayato?"

In fact.

Ayanokoji had been following Hikigaya's situation for a long time.

They discovered that the people who borrowed money and grain from Big Valley were all peasants, and they were in groups of three or five.

This is quite rare for a manor.

Ultimately, ordinary villagers only need to know how to work like livestock.

Where can you just randomly go out and borrow or extort things from people?

Therefore, the man named Hayato, kneeling in the very center, can be said to be the one responsible for causing the greatest trouble for Hachiman!

Discuss the deeds but not the heart.

In Ayanokouji's view, this was the most despicable member.

"But in Hachi's opinion, Hayato is a good person... What a nuisance."

"Forget it, let's just banish him to the bottom of the social ladder first."

"Only when you're full do you have the leisure to care about other people's business."

"..." Hikigaya, who was still drinking with the head of the manor, was stunned.

"Kiyotaka's goal is not merely to destroy everyone's dignity..."

"The main target is actually—Hayama?"

Hachiman quickly guessed Ayanokouji's thoughts.

Hachiman cursed under his breath, "I was careless!"

But there was absolutely nothing they could do.

The manor owner, who was drinking with him, clearly didn't care about this dog-eat-dog behavior.

They even enthusiastically urged him to drink.

Getting involved yourself will only complicate matters.

Thinking about all this, Hachiman only wanted to punch Ayanokouji hard.

What happened to the promise that it would just be a lesson?

However, this was indeed a lesson for Ayanokoji.

He and Hachiman are very busy every day.

Sometimes they even have to practice together, and they also have to participate in work every day.

The number of yokai in Kyoto is increasing day by day. Although they haven't caused any bigger trouble than before, it is clear that people have to be vigilant.

And then a bunch of "kids" came and caused trouble?

It's already quite kind of Ayanokouji not to secretly take drastic measures to deal with these people!

Who in this world isn't living life to the fullest?

Anyone who dares to stand in his way will not hesitate!

Perhaps, in front of others, in front of Hachiman.

Hayato Hayama is a good man.

But in Ayanokouji's eyes, that person was someone who needed to be dealt with even faster than a yokai!

"That's right, it's Sho who's with Hayato..."

"It's him!"

As Ayanokouji asked questions one by one, many people pointed the finger at Hayama Hayato.

They almost forgot that Ayanokouji only wanted to ask who Tobe Sho was related to, and did not specify what he wanted to do.

Ayanokouji was even amazed that everyone could always find a suitable reason.

The politician standing in the corner closed his eyes in despair.

The son overestimated human nature.

Those who once offered help have become the biggest perpetrators.

Half an hour later.
