Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Is this son really that outstanding?

Hao Ren was somewhat incredulous.

Shogo was speechless after hearing the answer. What did he mean by "probably"?

She doesn't even recognize her own son anymore.

Suddenly, Changwu understood why Hiroto was harassed by the servants so little each time.

"So it's because you have such an outstanding son...?"

This era is even more feudal and conservative than the era in which I lived when I was young.

Just like how Shogo didn't initially aspire to a career in politics or business.

However, it just so happens that his wife's family is like that.

There were surprisingly few female politicians in the early days of the era, while the proportion of men was overwhelmingly large.

Therefore, Changwu was expected to marry into his wife's family and take over as her successor.

What about this era, the Heian period?

Women are essentially ignored.

Their primary functions were marriage alliances and procreation.

Even the high-ranking empresses, empress dowagers, and princesses were no exception.

This is a fact that is almost impossible to change.

"What a frustrating world..."

Seeing how well his colleague's son was performing, and thinking about recent events, he realized that...

Changwu was filled with regret.

Haoren was very conflicted.

His son not only had several wives, but he was also very capable.

He's under so much pressure as a father!

Maruo watched silently as the vendor, dressed like a charlatan and with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, left, a realization dawning on him.

Humans can be good or bad, and so can other intelligent beings.

Day 202 of crossing

Mao Shi.

Upon waking, Kyosuke Kousaka submitted to the broad chest of the plain-clad figure.

His face was full of admiration.

Su Yi, who kept her lips tightly pressed together and didn't make a sound, was actually quite cute in Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes.

Beneath her dignified and elegant demeanor, this beautiful woman was quite compliant.

She remains as well-behaved and studious as she was on her wedding day.

After a while, Kyosuke Kosaka stood up, and Su Yi, unaware of the situation, helped him up.

Although Kyosuke Kosaka knew he didn't need it at all, he couldn't help but praise Su Yi's thoughtfulness and consideration.

"...Kyosuke-sama?"

"Let's talk first."

Knowing that Su Yi was asking about his next move, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to make his intentions clear.

He's not so clueless as to expect his partner to guess his thoughts.

The two had clearly known each other for less than a year.

There is tacit understanding, but it is definitely not enough.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that it still needed time to polish and be tested by the years.

"Mmm." Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke hug her from behind, Su Yi obediently moved to try and make it less troublesome for Kousaka Kyosuke.

"The new villagers in the manor don't need to be treated too well. As long as they are not hungry or cold, that's enough."

"I know it."

"That would be considered benevolent. Anyone who doesn't know their place should be kicked out and left to fend for themselves."

"Yes, Kyosuke-sama."

Su Yi kept responding.

She still manages the affairs of the manor, but she rarely makes public appearances.

Several companies help manage it, and she is responsible for supervision.

By the way.

The newly reclaimed land her husband had cultivated was barely enough to grow some beans.

The villagers who had been prepared beforehand had already been sent over to help.

Su Yi treated them in the same way that ordinary manor owners did.

But she still cared about her husband's thoughts and would occasionally inquire about them cautiously.

She realized that her husband's thinking was very different from that of ordinary people.

Su Yi sometimes worries that she might be viewed with suspicion because of her harsh methods.

He only felt at ease when Kyosuke Kousaka held her in his arms.

At that moment, Su Yi listened very carefully to Kousaka Kyosuke's instructions.

Even their heads couldn't help but nod slightly...

Seeing the gentle and mature face of Su Yi reveal a girlish expression, Kousaka Kyosuke felt a flutter in his heart.

"..." Her delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes glistening like water.

She gently bit her cherry lips with her pearly teeth and moved back a little to test the waters.

Kousaka Kyosuke understood and stopped being polite!

Chenshi.

When Kousaka Kyosuke stepped out of the room, he was somewhat surprised to find that Yotohime was not training.

"What, not with the white wolf?"

"She seems to be with Madam Sushang..."

Yaodao-hime hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Kousaka Kyosuke pondered, lost in lesbian fantasies?

No, Su Chang is definitely the woman with the most normal sexual orientation!

"They're all still in their rooms, I'll go check on them."

After patting Yaodao-hime's head, Kousaka Kyosuke turned and left.

Yaodao-hime looked bewildered and blinked.

Isn't she Komachi?

Kyosuke Kousaka didn't care about any of that.

For her, patting her head was a way to comfort her partner and establish a hierarchy between them.

Those with a weaker inner personality.

Characters like Kirisu Mafuyu, Yoto Hime, Miku Satsuki, and Fumino, all of whom were portrayed as having a more assertive presence by Kousaka Kyosuke.

Or rather, they would like me to be more assertive.

Having spent a lot of time with them, Kyosuke Kousaka could sense it.

As for characters like Xiangzi, Sushang, and Yukinoshita, who have more independent personalities.

Besides their close interactions, Kyosuke Kosaka also...

They generally won't do things that would make them feel weak or powerless.

Otherwise, it will still leave people feeling somewhat uneasy.

Humans are inherently complex.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who could always sense the subtle emotions in his partner's heart from time to time, became increasingly composed.

To be precise, I'm quite adept at it!
