Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

On the one hand, it would give him a better understanding of how to deal with various deities in the future; on the other hand, he had always had this interest.

Standing up, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to go out.

Now that we know their momentum is strong, it would be too degrading to just wait quietly.

"Kyosuke-sama."×2

Miku and Satsuki, both dressed in gray blouses like Yukinoshita, greeted each other.

Yukinoshita seemed to speak as well, but only her lip movements could be seen.

"I'm going out for a bit." Kousaka Kyosuke nodded in response and walked out, casually wiping his slightly warm eyes.

The scene that came into view was extremely beautiful: a fair and slender neck, delicate collarbones like jade, and a pair of beautiful breasts that were erect and shaped like a full moon.

The addition of twin girls to the house certainly brought a touch of life.

Walk out the door.

Looking at the long, straight street, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly thought of the oxcart again.

As nobles, not having an oxcart as a means of transportation certainly diminished their prestige.

After wandering aimlessly for about fifteen minutes, an oxcart suddenly stopped beside Kyosuke Kosaka.

"Kyosuke." The curtain of the oxcart was pulled back, revealing a familiar face.

"Baoyin?"

"Come on up quickly. The palace is holding a purification ceremony today, and I've managed to secure a space in the library."

"coming!"

Kyosuke Kosaka quickly jumped into the oxcart, which the driver continued to drive forward.

inside the car.

Kousaka Kyosuke and Yasutane stared at each other, but Yasutane finally spoke first.

"What my brother did..."

"It's nothing, it'll give me a break for a while."

Kyosuke Kosaka waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind.

Judging from Bao Yin's expression, it was now officially confirmed that his suspension from his post was related to the imperial calendar he had created.

I just made a comment about her being "narrow-minded" and then didn't bother to dwell on it.

As someone in a higher position, one should be mindful of one's magnanimity and tolerance; arguing with someone of lower or middle rank like oneself will only damage one's reputation.

Kyosuke Kosaka could only say that this method of venting anger was really not worthwhile.

"Let's discuss Confucianism instead."

"...Alright." Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke didn't seem to care much, Yasutane chuckled and changed the subject.

the other side.

Miku and May were cleaning near the front gate of the mansion, talking in hushed tones.

"That Kiyotaka is selfish."

"...Perhaps he has other ways if we don't get the job."

“He can’t afford the head tax for both of us.”

"..."

May pursed her lips and didn't defend Ayanokouji Kiyotaka any further.

"You need to be more careful next time."

Seeing that May hadn't spoken, Miku said something and then fell silent.

Having experienced betrayal, she needs to seriously consider how to better find her relatives who might be elsewhere.

Under the Snow, it was said that Lord Kyosuke knew Yin-Yang magic and might be able to solve the problem. Kiyotaka also mentioned this matter at the time, but now, looking back and thinking about it carefully, I find it full of loopholes.

People in a weaker social position have no right to make demands.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Miku.

"No...stop...don't..."

"Miku?"

"……fine."

Miku, snapping out of her daze, shook her head at May.

She is the older sister, so she has to take good care of her younger sister.

I also can't let my sister worry about me.

"...Then why is your face so red?" May asked with concern.

Various diseases are prevalent recently.

Even if she had never seen it.

"It's nothing, I'm really fine, I'll continue cleaning," Miku said.

May looked on with concern for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Soon, the two finished sweeping the area in front of the door and then helped Yukino clean the corridor.

Since the corridor is outdoors, it is exposed to the wind every day, so dust is inevitable.

Therefore, it needs to be wiped down every day.

Once in the morning and once at noon.

"I'll teach you how to make clothes later." After working for a while, Yukinoshita started talking about trivial matters.

May blushed and said, "...I want to make underwear and panties first."

Snow paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Miku tugged at May.

"The fabric is Kyosuke-sama's property, and he only told me to make two clothes. Besides, nobody here wears it, so there's no need to feel ashamed."

"...Miku, you shouldn't say things like that!"

Overwhelmed with shame, May blushed furiously and nearly fainted.

Yukinoshita said calmly, "It's nothing, you'll get used to it. Just be more careful when you're moving around."

May kept her head down, her mouth moving as she made faint, unintelligible sounds.

Yukino noticed this and leaned closer to listen.

“May is worried about sagging,” Miku said.

"...?!"

In just a few seconds, Xuexia's cheeks were as rosy as those in May.

That's a rosy complexion caused by the surge of blood and qi due to heightened emotions!

Miku looked at Yukinoshita with confusion, not understanding what was going on.

In conclusion, the three girls got along quite well.

Night falls, as the palace's eerie evening bells toll.

Two candles were lit in the huge house.

The three waited quietly for Kousaka Kyosuke's return, chatting idly.

Since Miku and Satsuki had worked at one of Fujiwara Michinaga's residences, Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask them.

Unfortunately, the two sisters didn't know much about it.

"I only know that many historical records don't match up. For example, the ages of Emperor Ichijo, the Taoist priest, and some other people I know don't seem to match what's written in history..."

When the conversation turned to history, Miku went on and on about it.

Yukinoshita listened in a daze, and even couldn't help but ask, "Do you know about Onmyoji?"

To be honest, she knew almost nothing about Onmyoji.

Miku: "I don't know much, but I do know that today's Onmyoji have replaced all the functions of the priests in history and have a very special status."

Yukinoshita was not disappointed upon hearing this.

She had learned about Onmyoji when she studied history, and only knew that the profession completely declined after being labeled as a cult during the Meiji period.

In modern times, they can only be found in period dramas.
