Xiao Ai, also known as Hayasaka Ai, entered the shrine.
She saw that everything around her was as brand new as ever.
It was quite strange.
He continued to pray.
"Even if all I can do is pray for safety and agriculture, I still want to give it a try..."
Nowadays, the head of the family, Sigong Yan'an, goes to the Outer Guard Mansion every three days.
There wasn't any overly negative reaction.
He was, after all, an elderly man in his seventies.
same.
No one would bother with Shinomiya Yan'an.
He offended even the head of an official residence.
It was a case of a collateral branch offending the direct line.
The only reason there was no problem was because Shinomiya Gan'an was old.
Almost everyone understands this principle.
If it's not explained clearly, it simply means that the words cannot be fully expressed.
However, this eerie calm still made Hayasaka Ai uneasy.
She hopes that her father and mother are both well.
I hope that Kaguya Shinomiya, who treated her like a sister, is also doing well.
that's enough.
"Lord Moon Chaser, I implore you to bless my parents and young lady with peace and safety."
Sincere and humble prayers are raised once again today.
The Moon Chaser, sitting before the statue, sighed inwardly.
"Little Ai, all I can do is protect you..."
Even as a shikigami, she cannot casually enter the interior of a noble mansion to bestow blessings.
After all, this is quite taboo.
She only has a tiny, insignificant power to protect the believers before her.
Hayasaka Ai, of course, could not hear the thoughts of the Moon Goddess.
The devout prayer is complete.
She then left the shrine.
On the way back, she remained vigilant about her surroundings.
Because every day, refugees flood into Kyoto.
It seems that a severe famine has recently broken out in some areas, so a large number of refugees have been forced to migrate towards Kyoto.
Hayasaka Ai had observed this situation.
It was discovered that some strong men or women with outstanding appearances were taken in by various nobles.
Those that were left over were simply ignored.
And they could be expelled by security personnel at any time.
The expulsion was quite severe, usually involving driving the prisoners to areas quite far from the outskirts of town.
As a result, some people were forced to become bandits and robbers.
However, the Anti-Illegal Activities Office and the Foreign Guard Office launched a heavy crackdown.
Once discovered, they are usually dealt with directly by sending someone.
Therefore, the area around Kyoto is relatively safe.
Hayasaka Ai is being cautious these days because she's worried about something unexpected happening.
In fact, this caution is not entirely wrong.
In an area near Kyoto.
She carefully detected the bloody smell that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered someone hiding in the dense grass.
The tattered hem of the clothing revealed the marks...
"run!"
Hayasaka Ai had a single thought.
Not knowing what was going on, she turned and ran.
What kind of fighting style and swordsmanship?
It was completely useless against a beating with sticks and knives, or against being pelted with stones.
She was just an ordinary person and had no intention of taking it on.
"……unlucky!"
"Aren't you going to chase them, boss?"
"What are you chasing? Wait for the next one—"
俿嗤~
The rude sounds stopped abruptly, leaving only a faint sound of tearing fabric.
Within seconds, the surroundings gradually became quiet.
It was eerily quiet.
Kyosuke Kousaka, resting his hand on his chin, let out a sigh.
"Their information channels are so outdated."
These bandits probably have no idea how many people have been buried here.
Immediately afterward, Kyosuke Kosaka dispatched a spirit to cut off the man's head.
The remaining headless corpses were piled up and then burned to ashes using magic, which were then scattered on the ground.
The surrounding dense grass exudes an even more vibrant green color.
"We need to further improve public security."
Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.
He had no sympathy for these people who had become bandits and robbers for no apparent reason.
Subjectively, I still have a little bit of understanding for them.
If you can't survive, you'll naturally take risks.
Unfortunately, Kyosuke Kosaka wants to improve the security situation in Kyoto.
Then I'm sorry.
To be honest, Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't really be of much help.
His compassion was also limited.
I just hope that Shizuko will achieve something in cultivating outstanding talents in the future.
As for following the example of some time travelers and sending people to the New World to get seeds such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes?
Kyosuke Kosaka believes that is simply impossible.
According to his understanding.
The sea routes to other countries were fraught with great danger.
Furthermore, Kyosuke Kousaka cannot be certain that the map of this world is the same as the one he knows.
Not to mention other things.
Asking someone for help at the mansion is better than sending someone to search at sea.
Anyway, Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't like doing things that are pointless.
all in all.
All Kousaka Kyosuke can do is be the man behind Shizuko and support her well.
This girl is far more professional than most people.
After that, I went to Fujiwara Daichi's house again.
They stayed for a while before returning to their lodgings.
Even back at my lodgings, I wasn't idle.
