Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 159

"They like me, and I like them, just like you and I like each other."

Kyosuke Kousaka kept showering people with sweet nothings.

Universal love is universal love.

But that's normal in this era.

In a world where everyone's worse is better, all you have to do is be the best!

"..."

As Kousaka Kyosuke's words of love became increasingly direct, Fuji Shikibu simply smiled faintly.

She did not respond to this further.

She was very happy, happier than ever before.

But Kyosuke Kousaka was too excited.

She was somewhat worried that Kyosuke Kosaka might not be able to control his emotions.

In intimate moments indoors, she naturally fulfills her duties as a wife.

But now that we're outdoors, being so intimate is really a bit embarrassing.

"Let me tell you about what happened a few days ago, after I fought a demon..."

As he spoke, Kyosuke Kosaka brought up an embarrassing incident that had happened to him not long ago.

He knew very well that Fujishikibu was a typical noblewoman.

It doesn't seem like the kind that's heavily adulterated or contains a lot of water.

Therefore, it is necessary to let her understand her own thoughts.

Let her understand why she considers Yukinoshita, Chitanda, and others as family.

Ultimately, Kyosuke Kosaka cannot use a modern perspective to study how ancient people thought.

This era had a clear hierarchical system.

The distinction between commoners, nobles, and the lowest caste was so detailed that it was almost harsh.

Since Fujishikibu was a noblewoman, her ideas must have been deeply ingrained.

So, what Kyosuke Kosaka did was to "appeal to their emotions and reason with them."

And indeed, it turned out just as Kyosuke Kousaka had thought.

Fujishikibu was shocked when he heard Kousaka Kyosuke say that the maid was family.

But then it dawned on me.

She had already noticed.

That is, even though Kyosuke Kosaka had other wives, he always treated her with such a positive attitude.

Xiangzi, who helped to bring them together, seemed to have little presence in the whole affair.

Kyosuke Kosaka fell in love with her after they met.

There might be something in my body, but I seem to prefer other parts of myself...

Fujishikibu pondered the matter in his spare time, but could never figure out the reason.

At this point, she finally decided to ask.

Although it was a very presumptuous act.

However, Kousaka Kyosuke happened to reveal what he considered a secret, which shows that he wanted to be honest.

Since that's the case, now is the time to ask.

After considering many things in an instant, Fujishikibu asked softly:

"Lord Kyosuke, is there anything you like about me?"

"So honest! So honest that I almost wanted to tell all my secrets!"

Kyosuke Kosaka answered without hesitation.

He probably will never forget his wedding with Fujishikibu.

It was both awkward misunderstandings and physiology lectures.

"Hmm... thank you, Kyosuke-sama." Fujishikibu gave a soft hum and leaned her head against Kousaka Kyosuke's chest.

The firm and powerful heartbeat was exceptionally intense.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and said nothing more, simply embracing Fuji Shikibu.

He certainly had desires for this beautiful woman.

However, his broad-mindedness, both inside and out, filled him with nothing but admiration.

The entire journey was speechless.

We finally arrived at our destination.

Kyosuke Kosaka first had the oxcart stop in front of the old house before going to the mansion to inform the others.

"Kyosuke-sama!" As expected, it was Fujiwara Kaori who spoke first when Kousaka Kyosuke spoke.

Seeing the radiant smile on her charming face, Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but feel a strange emotion.

"Fujishibu has arrived, everyone get ready to set off."

"Alright! I need to see what she looks like."

She wore a simple white dress, with a hat worn by a market vendor, and long white veils fluttering in the breeze.

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless.

"Are you going to have a duel with Fujishikibu?"

"Does she know martial arts?" Su Chang, however, was oblivious to the atmosphere.

Kyosuke Kosaka patted her on the shoulder.

"A gust of wind could blow her over, so you better behave yourself."

"...I feel like you're the one who's not being honest."

She walked quietly in her white robes.

Where should we take the picture?

Outside, someone else broke it.

Kousaka Kyosuke noticed that Su Chang seemed a little unhappy.

Suddenly I realized that this guy's level of conservatism is actually quite flexible.

So it turns out they can't be this intimate in public.

Even if there are no outsiders.

I've never been this unhappy inside the house...

"How about I take a picture of it for you?"

"We'll talk about it tonight!" Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke's tone had softened, Su Chang smiled happily.

Fujiwara Kaori seized the opportunity to urge him on.

"I don't want to keep Ms. Fujishikibu waiting."

"Let's go then."

Kousaka Kyousuke smiled and waved.

A group of maids, who carried almost nothing, also surrounded Fujiwara Kaori and Susho.

Fujiwara Kaori and Susho were dressed the same.

The woman was dressed in a teapot-shaped outfit, wearing a hat with a long white veil and loose clothing, which completely concealed her figure.

Fujishikibu is dressed like this today as well.

Noble ladies basically lived in a small world within their inner quarters, behind the imperial curtains.

It is considered impolite and improper to show one's true face to men outside one's family.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka was friendly to Hiromi, who had both revealed her real name and her face the night before.

After all, being too indifferent is impolite and shows a disregard for others' courage.

He felt there was no need to be so arrogant.

Especially for a woman.

Getting back to the main point, a group of people went outside to prepare for moving into their new home.

Fortunately, there are few people around on this main road in the Five Quarters area, so it won't attract attention.
