Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

What on earth is she saying?

"How utterly despicable I am!!"

"He actually said he wanted to serve Lord Kyosuke along with his sister?!"

Kirisu Miharu almost wanted to hug her cheeks.

You can notice that your older sister seems distracted.

She was also worried that her sister might change her mind.

No further words or actions were permitted.

That's all for now...

Let's return to Kyosuke Kousaka's perspective.

"The yield is uncertain; we need to plant it several times to get a clear picture."

Shizuko earnestly described the seeds she had cultivated in a short period of time using the knowledge she had acquired.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said, "Let's confirm the situation first. It's better not to say anything if you're not sure about something."

He doesn't need to be ambitious or eager for quick success.

In terms of farming, the book presented earlier is enough for the Taoist priest to handle.

Presumably, the Taoist priest was also having people conduct experiments to verify the situation.

His contributions are more than enough.

“This time we should plant rice in the normal way…” Chitanda said.

Shizuko nodded solemnly to Chitanda:

"Of course! I used the method of forcing growth to get seeds that I didn't know were truly good."

She knew that the way she cultivated the seeds was too unconventional.

However, she understands even more clearly that seeds need to be improved generation after generation.

It's taking too long!

Just like a radish.

It was only the size of a thumb at first.

It took many farmers to carefully cultivate it until it became as thick as an arm.

The same applies to many other common vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes, and pumpkins.

"This era is ultimately still the era of the aristocracy."

"Although cultivating high-yield grains would be praised by many people, it would still be better to focus on rice as the main crop."

"If we could cultivate rice that tastes even better than regular rice and has similar effects to spirit rice..."

"That will definitely be very beneficial to Lord Kyosuke! In short, it will be much more useful than cultivating other crops..."

Comprehensive consideration.

Shizuko still did not consider conducting in-depth research on other crops that yielded even more than rice.

Her main research focuses on rice and spirit rice.

Shizuko understood all too well that this country was dominated by the powerful nobles.

The nobles also had a special fondness for rice.

Therefore, she wanted to give it a try.

She understood perfectly well that it would be better than anything else for her husband, Kyosuke Kosaka, to be able to stand in a higher position.

It will definitely be easier to promote other crops then.

Well, Shizuko still has a little selfish motive.

She prefers to do things that are most effective for her husband.

"You can consider this matter yourselves. Everyone has their own expertise, so I won't say any more," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

A layman giving advice to an expert?

Don’t you have any idea?

He is still very self-aware.

He could never outmaneuver the many cunning old foxes in the imperial court in a power struggle.

Agricultural research can never compare to Shizuko's constant thinking about farming, even while eating, showering, and sleeping!

Literature goes without saying.

Not to mention Fujishikibu, even Kousaka Kyosuke thinks Kaori is better than him.

He's also good at things like appreciation.

If you ask him to fight?

Kousaka Kyosuke is a god even Yamata no Orochi dares to go to.

"Thank you for trusting me so much, Kyosuke-sama." Shizuko was very touched.

Chitanda nodded and nodded.

Her gaze toward Kyosuke Kosaka was gentle at first, then turned evasive.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost laughed.

Is this what you call trust?

Isn't trust being presented as something too cheap?

"Also, try to say that the research was done with the help of the Qin family."

“If anyone discovers the truth, you’ll have to live in the mansion from now on, or follow me around every time you go out.”

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and reminded the two of this.

Shizuko chuckled dryly, "Yes! I'll be very careful about that!"

She knew all too well what would happen if she revealed her farming skills.

It is estimated that the enemy is thinking, "If we can't have it, we'll destroy it."

The melodramatic tropes of these TV dramas actually make perfect sense when you think about it.

I never thought she would have such a day.

Fortunately, she has a gentle yet strong husband.

“…Thanks to you, Kyosuke-sama.” Chitanda couldn’t help but express his gratitude.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Chitanda with a half-smile: "You're welcome."

Chitanda finally couldn't help but hide behind Shizuko.

"Please return to your residence... and then..."

I can't continue speaking.

Chitanda's head was lowered, her pure and lovely cheeks flushed and hot, as if steaming.

Kousaka Kyosuke laughed out loud.

Shizuko pulled Chitanda along, saying, "Kyosuke-sama, let's continue checking on the seeds..."

We can't do it anymore.

It's fine if it's later; one person, two people, or even more people can all go.

I need to get to work now!

Watching Chitanda and Shizuko slip away, Kousaka Kyosuke laughed silently.

He wouldn't mess around outside.

For some inexplicable reason, Kousaka Kyosuke saw Su Chang running towards him, waving happily.

"cough……"

He coughed lightly.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt embarrassed.

Thinking to myself, if it's an accident, then that's another story.

Day 209 of crossing

He met a pair of bright, large eyes, like amethyst.

Kousaka Kyosuke is a bit hard.

As if no further words were needed, a delicate hand was extended forward.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't hold back any longer!

A subtle murmur rang in her ears as Shizuko lay on her side, gazing at it.
