Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Sensing that something was amiss, Su Chang tried to find the right words.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I'd like to give it a try, even though the chances are very low."

He had something on his mind.

For example, spiritual energy is energy, but what about yin energy, evil energy, etc.? Aren't they energy?

It's always worth a try.

"Our clan tried for a hundred years before giving up because we found that the environment here was really not suitable."

"It's okay, it's just a try anyway."

"Don't worry about it too much. You're a strong and upright man. It's not good for you to bury yourself in farming."

Su Chang rarely offered advice.

It's true that there's no stability without agriculture, but that's what farmers should be doing.

Fujiwara Kaori watched this scene with great interest.

If she starts showing concern for a man before even establishing a relationship, her father will probably cry.

“Eru and that other girl—Shizuko—are very knowledgeable about agriculture, so perhaps we could give it a try.”

Upon noticing that Su Chang was acting increasingly strangely, Kousaka Kyosuke quickly shifted his gaze away from her.

“…Shizuko?” Su Chang looked up at the hand that Kousaka Kyosuke had raised.

She knows Eru, but who is Shizuko?

Upon closer inspection, she spotted a girl who appeared to be the same age as her.

She had a pretty face, average looks, but unfortunately, she was much less attractive than the girls around her.

Her skin was wheat-colored, and she was so thin that she looked like a gust of wind could blow her over.

"it's me."

Shizuko awkwardly raised her hand; how did the conversation end up about her?

However, the thought of the spirit rice seeds quickly gave her courage and boldness.

She never imagined that there were crops in this world that defied common sense, and she really wanted to grow them!

If it could be planted on a large scale, it might bring great benefits to its owner, Kyosuke Kousaka.

She wants to give it a try!

"You need to eat more. Even if you're good at farming, you'll need to eat more to have the energy to do research."

"Ah...yes!"

Shizuko answered quickly, looking embarrassed.

What are you saying?

Weren't we talking about Lingmi?

Kyosuke Kousaka wanted to chuckle to himself; now he finally understood why Kyosuke was so depressed.

They were clearly talking about the same thing, but Su Chang managed to steer the conversation in a completely different direction, leaving everyone bewildered.

The others also noticed how amazing this guest was.

He is always cheerful and friendly towards people, but his way of speaking often leaves people confused.

In the end, Su Chang spoke to everyone.

They didn't even spare the sleeping nine-lives cat.

The nine-lived cat, still half asleep, had its two paws held by the happy Su Chang.

It was meowing and had a confused look on its face.

As evening approached, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to escort Su Chang back home.

The two locations are not too far apart.

It's not difficult to deliver it.

"How was it? Isn't Su Chang interesting?"

After Kyosuke Kosaka saw Su Chang off, Kaori Fujiwara smiled and asked the other women in the mansion.

Kirisu Mafuyu hesitated before replying, "...good at talking."

He talked a lot, and my ears were ringing.

Yukinoshita wholeheartedly agreed: "...good at talking."

Even Yukinoshita was forced to talk to by Susho.

The content of the conversation still makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

What do you mean, "Your body shape makes it so convenient for you to move around!"

For some reason, Yukinoshita was a little unhappy.

Although not to the point of being angry.

Chitanda cautiously peeked at Yuki, hesitant to speak.

Miss Su Chang didn't mean it...

"She's a really nice person! It's just that there are some things she says that require some mental processing!" Komachi said cheerfully.

Nino: "Has a generous and magnanimous personality."

Miku: "I can write very beautiful Chinese characters."

May: "She is a person who pays great attention to her health."

Jingzi hesitated to speak.

Apart from Nino, the other two sisters were talking about their hobbies!

"Where's Jingzi?"

"...Very good."

"Where is Yaodao-hime?"

"...He is a very good person."

"Hmm! It seems everyone agrees!"

Fujiwara Kaori, who had taken the initiative to ask, clapped her hands and laughed.

If no one has any objections, then there's no problem at all.

Day 116 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka did not go directly to the Qin clan's territory.

Instead, he drank with his comrades at a residence provided by Fujiwara no Michitsuna.

Fragrant wine, pure white rice, large chunks of wild boar and rabbit meat, etc...

Military generals' gatherings were almost entirely about eating!

They drank and ate meat, and chatted casually, with Kousaka Kyosuke basically just praising people.

I may not be able to do many impressive things, but I'm not bad at saying nice things.

"Lord Kyosuke, thanks to your help this time, I was able to go to the Upper Kingdom to take up the post of State Secretary."

Ping Weiheng happily toasted Kosaka Kyosuke with a glass of wine.

Despite losing much honor due to their poor escort of the Ghost King's head.

However, the merit of eliminating monsters and evil spirits should not be diminished.

The shock was particularly great because Kyosuke Kousaka led him and his other clansmen in a massive battle.

This made them the most conspicuous group in the extermination process, so even if they made a mistake at the end, it didn't have much of an impact.

Otherwise, perhaps I could only become a minor official in the country with better land.

"Kyosuke-sama, and me too—" Taira no Yoriyoshi's cousin Taira no Kosaka also offered a toast to Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Kyosuke-sama..."

This then triggered a domino effect, with one person after another toasting Kyosuke Kousaka.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna, slightly flushed from drinking, wore a teasing expression on his handsome face.

"Kyosuke-sama, you must have contributed greatly to the retreat of Dajiangshan."

"What are you saying? It's clearly all thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of you all! I respect you all too!"

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said something, then took a sip.
