Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

He said he'd said a lot of nice things.

Never before has it been so complicated.

Su Chang's older sister, Su Yi, had even more complicated feelings.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

She silently watched her sister, who was beaming with joy and had an innocent smile.

She didn't know what to say.

"Straightforward and unconventional" can also be interpreted as being impolite or lacking manners.

This rising official probably meant no harm; it was more of a reminder and warning.

“Go home and copy the Book of Rites ten times.”

"what?!"

Su Chang opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of confusion.

Su Yi didn't explain, but simply pulled her back into the oxcart and found a straw hat for her to wear.

“You’ve come of age now, so if you see someone you like, just tell your older sister.”

"Can't you—"

"No, this is a clan rule. You should think carefully before you decide whether you want to take a son-in-law from outside the clan or choose one from within the clan."

"..." Su Chang did not refute any further.

The whole family is full of stubborn old men!

They'll just be confined to one place, growing old and dying alone for the rest of their lives!

What does this mean?

"Then I would like to recruit that prosecutor of illegal activities."

"Others don't think much of you."

This time, Su Yi spoke without reservation what she believed to be absolutely correct.

She was actually very clear about it.

The fact that women of the Qin family frequently appeared in public is indeed difficult for the world to accept.

Especially after the wine offered more than a hundred years ago could no longer receive divine blessings, these immigrants became increasingly ostracized.

"I--"

"Okay, don't mess around."

Su Yi gently stopped Su Chang from continuing to argue.

At the same time, he regretted his sudden slip of the tongue and realized he should take good care of his younger sister in the coming days.

She should stop being so spoiled after getting married.

Day 79 of crossing

Standing at the doorway, contemplating, Kyosuke Kousaka prepares to head to the Ukyo area to check on the situation of the non-humans.

"Lord Kyosuke, would you like some melon?"

"..."

Kyosuke Kosaka had no time to refuse the food that was suddenly offered to him.

Komachi, beaming, handed over the melon: "There's another one!"

The girl who had extended her left hand then extended her right hand.

Kyosuke Kosaka had no choice but to bend down and eat another piece.

This time, the melon had a smooth and silky texture.

I've got it!

"Kyosuke-sama likes to eat melons!" Komachi licked her fingers, which were covered in the juice.

Cherry-pink lips touched soft, pale fingers, and cute little tiger teeth sparkled.

Kyosuke Kosaka tried to calm himself down and replied, "Yes, then I'm going out."

"Yeah~!"

Komachi nodded, tilting her pretty little face up to look expectantly at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka was slightly taken aback at first, then smiled and reached out to touch Komachi's hair, which was soft and fluffy.

A small tuft of mischievous little hairs that refused to join the group was quite clever.

"Safe travels!"

"Ah."

Kyosuke Kosaka responded and set off.

Watching Kousaka Kyosuke's figure disappear, Komachi skipped back to the house like a little deer.

so cute.

Kyosuke Kousaka covered his brow as he walked down the street.

With great difficulty, he managed to suppress the smile he still wanted to maintain.

He now understands more and more why Hachiman Hikigaya is so persistent.

He would have sacrificed his life to protect such a cute little sister.

I was filled with admiration the whole way.

Kyosuke Kosaka quickly arrived at his destination.

At the makeshift camp set up in the wasteland, he saw that everyone was moving with their backs straight, looking very energetic.

Heart can not help but move.

When we were to conquer Mount Oe, we should have tried our best to preserve these people.

Compared to those aristocratic sons who wouldn't even risk their lives to make up numbers, it seems that the non-humans who are willing to get involved are better.

Most of these people lost their household registration for various reasons.

We need to nurture those we find promising when the time comes.

The residences of middle-ranking nobles have been established with the construction of the new houses, and they certainly urgently need loyal servants...

52. Komachi and Confession/Three Days Before Retirement/Demon Sword Princess: No

"Kyosuke-sama."

Upon hearing that Kyosuke Kousaka had arrived, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji rushed over immediately.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I'll go take a look."

Ayanokouji immediately led the way with a respectful expression.

Under the guidance and training of Kyosuke Kosaka a few days ago, he finally gained the most basic ability to protect himself.

Only then did he truly see a tiny fragment of this mysterious world.

He was genuinely grateful to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Besides, my sister seems to be...

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had been secretly observing Ayanokouji, remained silent.

They already recognized that Ayanokouji was very efficient in handling matters.

Given Shizuko's relationship with him and their respective circumstances, he had very little doubt.

Given their intertwined interests, Ayanokouji didn't really have much of a choice.

Like the retainers and vassals of Yi and Zhou.

For example, his relationship with the Taoist priest.

If one party's interests are harmed but they fail to help when they should, then they are in trouble.

Then you'll regret it on the day you're purged.

noon.

After briefly testing the troops' obedience, Kyosuke Kosaka went to stroll around the city and conduct inspections.

He wanted to recruit those non-human beings, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Because the sons of noble families are not without merit.

Because of intermarriages among nobles, they were all related to each other.

Even if there's only the slightest connection, you can still try to build one.

In this era, blood ties are an indispensable bond.
