Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"A noble destiny with little fortune."

A detached voice suddenly rang out.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji suddenly looked up and met a pair of emotionless eyes.

"...Kyosuke-sama?"

"leave."

"The two maids behind me are here specifically to serve you, sir."

"A free man or a commoner?"

“My beloved.”

"leave."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, having retrieved the paper, bowed respectfully and left.

The twin girls, who looked identical and must have been twins, who had come with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, stood nervously with their heads down.

"Snow."

"Lord Kyosuke." Yukinoshita, who had secretly washed her feet and put on straw sandals as soon as she saw someone coming, came over.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "To show them around the area."

Yukinoshita nodded in agreement, but her inner emotions were in utter turmoil.

Free people and commoners... She seems to have never understood this question before. What's going on?

It wasn't until the afternoon that Kyosuke Kosaka summoned Yukinoshita along with the twin girls.

Incidentally, both twin girls have pink hair and blue eyes, and one of them also has a rather peculiar ahoge (cowlick).

"What are your names?"

"...Sanjiu."

"……May."

"How did that person let you come over here?"

"...Help me find my sisters."

"...There's still food to eat."

"Did you resign from your previous job?"

"...Yes." ×2

"I see. It's not surprising that it was sold."

"—Huh?!" ×2

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled and said:

"A married man has to pay a poll tax. If he lives with a noble family, no one will bother him. But if you resign from your official duties, you can forget about going back."

"If I hadn't taken you in just now, I'd be curious where you would have gone..."

The twin girls were stunned for a moment.

Yukinoshita also looked dazed.

goooo~

A strange cry rang out.

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled again and waved his hand: "Yuki, take them to eat, make sure there's plenty of food."

The pink-haired girl with a cowlick blushed and lowered her head, too ashamed to face anyone.

kitchen.

Miku and Satsuki, who had been called away by Kousaka Kyosuke, were eating inside.

The two were surprised that canned food existed in this era.

But with hunger pangs, there was no time for much thought.

After arriving in this world, the two of them spent their days doing various cleaning jobs in the noble mansion, with almost no free time.

In addition, the food provided by their master was usually scarce and unpalatable, so they were always in a state of semi-starvation.

These days, being able to eat meat is already a great satisfaction.

"It tastes better than any luncheon meat I've ever had!"

May's eyes sparkled, but she ate very slowly from beginning to end, savoring each bite carefully.

Miku said earnestly, "This is a groundbreaking invention."

If used as military rations, the morale of the army will be very high, making them invincible!

The saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach," and from ancient times to the present, food has always been the most important element in warfare.

You need to eat well to fight well.

"..." Yukinoshita, who had brought Miku and Itsuki with her, remained silent.

She suddenly realized that what Kousaka Kyosuke had said earlier was indeed very reasonable.

Luncheon meat, a groundbreaking invention... these words sound awkward.

It's already a miracle that the two weren't kicked out for saying strange things, as they were being mistaken for vengeful spirits.

"You're also from Japan?"

"what?"

"you too?"

The two sisters looked on in astonishment as they ate.

Yukino watched silently as the two sisters' pink lips, glistening with a thin layer of oil, opened and closed, her feelings becoming even more complicated.

Well, it's quite remarkable that you can maintain a calm attitude while eating after being hungry for so long.

Let's put etiquette aside for now.

That night, Kyosuke Kousaka summoned a spirit with the appearance of a woman and delivered two quilts that he had made in his spare time to Miku and Satsuki.

After all, it's not really summer yet, and the weather is still quite cold.

Cold weather can increase blood viscosity and cause peripheral vasoconstriction, putting a strain on the heart and lungs and increasing the risk of sudden death.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to do this.

As for the arrival of the two sisters, for Kyosuke Kosaka, it would at most consume more food, but feeding them wouldn't be a problem.

At this point, the Onmyoji's work came to a standstill, leaving no opportunity to slack off during work hours, and even less interest in hunting.

Adding a few beautiful views to the house would also be nice.

He really is a normal man.

Day 20 of crossing

The sky was slightly overcast, and there was a rumbling sound in the air, but no raindrops fell.

In the spacious Japanese-style room, which offers a panoramic view of the courtyard, Kyosuke Kousaka lies on his side, gazing at the scenery outside.

You can see young girls busy from time to time.

My gaze inadvertently swept over their slender, fair arms and legs.

Without a job, especially in Kyoto where there's not much entertainment, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that lying down and enjoying the scenery would be better.

I don't know how much time passed, but I got a little bored and started doing divination.

He used to create an imperial calendar and write safety guidelines for the nobles every day; now he has some free time to try it out for himself.

[On the day of Wushen in the month of Gengchen, auspicious stars shine brightly, and all things can be accomplished...]

"My luck is pretty good today; whatever I want to do will generally go smoothly," Kousaka Kyosuke pondered.

If that's the case, he really wants to complete the specific information about this world.

He wanted to know everything, whether it was mythology, history, or other information.

Although things are very leisurely now, the subsequent political struggles and the various disasters caused by the big boss, Orochi, are all very troublesome.

For example, a better understanding of the departments and interpersonal relationships within the entire court makes one more adept at handling affairs.

A better understanding of mythology will at least allow for some preparation in dealing with various evil gods that may appear in the future.

Having played the mobile game "Onmyoji," Kyosuke Kousaka is well aware that the attributes of the gods in this world are different from what he knew.

For example, Susanoo is a war god, while the previous war god was Izanagi.

Myths have been adapted beyond recognition!

That is precisely why it is necessary to understand.
