Volume One

1. Heian Period Diary / Oregairu (Spring Things)

[I started this new diary to urge myself to analyze the world's格局 (structure/pattern) and situation as soon as possible.]

Day 1 of the journey

Previously, while preparing to go to school for the start of the semester, I was in a daze when I saw "YES" and "NO" options appear in front of me. I wondered if I should ignore them, and as a result, I inexplicably traveled to Kyoto in the Heian period.

Even though they transmigrated here, they weren't unregistered; they seemed to have an identity, and their profession was Onmyoji.

After careful observation, I discovered that I was still living in a world where gods and Buddhas exist.

Fortunately, thanks to my father's teachings, I had some skills, and I thought I should be able to handle it.

In short, since I don't know why I came here, I can only honestly go to work at the Onmyoji Bureau and clock in based on the information I found.

Listen more, speak less, and strive to adapt to this unfamiliar world quickly!

Day 2 of the journey

I learned from casual conversations with some colleagues that the highest-ranking leader was Emperor Ichijo.

Meanwhile, due to the recent spread of evil spirits in Kyoto, a large-scale disease outbreak has occurred.

The most terrifying thing is that I also heard that Fujiwara no Michitaka, who was the regent at the time, contracted a serious illness because of this.

I thought to myself, "Oh no!"

Students who study history seriously may not know that Fujiwara no Michitaka was the older brother of Fujiwara no Michinaga, the most famous powerful minister in ancient Japan!

After Fujiwara no Michitaka died, his eldest son, Ichiju, was no match for the cunning youngest uncle, Michitaka.

It seems that a large-scale political struggle will soon begin.

I have a feeling the timing of this arrival is a bit off.

Day 3 of the journey

My job as a calendar expert in the Yin-Yang Bureau is quite easy.

After all, I started learning about the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches when I was very young, so knowledge of the calendar is not a problem for me.

In short, I quickly got the hang of the job.

Seeing that my colleagues were all procrastinating on their work, I started to imitate them.

He even sneaked out to the nearby woods to hunt during his free time at work.

—Because of the 'meat ban', we cannot eat meat openly.

My salary is enough to cover my expenses, but both the food provided by my salary and the food sold at the market taste too bland.

Helpless, I had no choice but to make my own trench coat and food.

By the way, we caught an adorable rabbit that day, and braised it that evening—it was delicious.

Day 4 of the journey

While slacking off at work, I caught two pheasants...

Day 5 of the journey

While slacking off at work, I caught five carp…

Day 6 of the journey

While slacking off at work, I caught a wild boar. It was so painful to process it; it took a lot of effort to preserve the meat properly.

Enough to eat for a year! Yay!

"Day 7 of the journey, slacking off at work and secretly hunting."

"Day 8 of the journey, slacking off at work and secretly hunting."

Day 9 of the journey

"Kousaka Kyosuke, Kousaka Kyosuke! How could you have fallen so low? Have you completely forgotten the goals you set for yourself?"

"Day 10 of the journey, slacking off at work and secretly hunting."

"Day 11 of the journey, slacking off at work and secretly hunting."

Day 12 of the journey

Today I helped a nobleman with a divination, and we went quite far. I felt like I recognized a few people, like characters from an anime I watched in a past life.

I must have misread it. I'm too busy today, so I won't be hunting.

At this point, I have to mention something: the public security situation has been really bad lately, with civilians constantly talking nonsense and such.

Phrases like "I want to go back!", "Which film crew is this?", and "Murder is illegal!" were heard.

I thought to myself, there are so many mentally unstable people.

My colleague told me that there are too many lowly people who have been possessed by evil spirits lately, and the military officers don't seem to care.

Yes, many nobles were angry when someone bumped into them while they were out.

Because of these events, quite a few people have died in recent days.

Day 13 of the journey

Today I helped a nobleman with a divination, and the nobleman was very pleased with the flattering words I said.

Then, after overhearing that I didn't have a maid, they immediately gave me one. I—"

Before his desk, Kyosuke Kousaka, who was sitting cross-legged, stopped writing, slowly put down his pen, and looked up at a girl dressed in coarse linen clothes not far away.

A gentle breeze blew in from outside the door, causing the girl's long, black hair, past her shoulders, to sway softly.

Her large, watery eyes, hidden by her long hair as she drooped her head, and her exquisitely beautiful features, resembling a porcelain doll, were inadvertently revealed to Kousaka Kyosuke...

"What's your name?"

"……Snow."

"Oh."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded, a strange surprise flickering deep in his eyes.

Yukinoshita Yukino.

A very familiar name. I remember seeing this girl dominating the rankings frequently in another world of China a few years ago, before she was adopted.

Even the long-reigning "Bilibili Electric Girl" had no choice but to step down.

Kyosuke Kousaka was deep in thought.

I wondered how many characters from "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" actually appeared, or if there were characters from other anime series?

These all look pretty cool.

I hope he doesn't kick the bucket.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly wrote a few words and closed his diary.

2. Advantages of Yukinoshita / Situation in Heian-kyo

He looked up again and stared at Yukino Yukinoshita for several more seconds, until the girl's whole body began to tremble.

Kyosuke Kousaka pondered for a moment and said:

"Go to the granary and get a piece of cloth to make two clothes for yourself. Go to the kitchen and get a box of food for yourself. Take care of yourself first before you come back to talk to me."

"Yes."

Snowdrop bowed her head and responded softly.

The man opposite her, who wasn't much older than her, clearly disliked her for not dressing properly.

She did not deny it.

She inexplicably found herself in what should be an ancient world, and became a nobleman's maid.

These days she has neither the ability nor the means to dress herself up nicely.
