Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1554

At least when Kyosuke Kousaka saw Yui Yuigahama, he instinctively picked up Yukino.

The contrast between large and small, deep and shallow is so striking.

wrong!

What strange things am I thinking right now!

I can't let Yukino find out. After all, it would be quite unfair of her not to give me a hug as soon as I came back, but to directly hurt my feelings like this.

Thinking of this, Kyosuke Kousaka's expression became slightly serious.

"I see……"

"There's really no need to worry. She just overexerted her divine power, but she'll recover quickly. Everyone's faith in Miketsu is so strong that's enough."

Seeing that Kyosuke Kousaka still seemed worried, the Goddess of Fate explained in more detail.

However, that's not the case at all.

As if sensing a strange unease, Yukino felt a growing unease when she saw Kyosuke Kousaka's serious expression.

"I'm probably overthinking it."

She couldn't help but glance at Yui Yuigahama, who was still clinging to her tightly, and wanted to say something to remind her, but ultimately gave up the idea.

Now is the time to get down to business, so let's not do anything unnecessary.

But for some reason, Yukino still felt something was wrong.

Yukino, who knew Kousaka Kyosuke the longest and had spent almost two years with him, had a very deep understanding of him.

While it may not be as exaggerated as compiling a dictionary, she is still very proficient in those small changes in expression and demeanor, as well as situations where there are not many changes.

If I had to make a comparison, it would be like the books by Mr. Pan that her father gave her.

She couldn't quite memorize the punctuation marks in the book, but she had imprinted the pictures and words in her memory. She could recite what was written on each page and what picture was accompanying it.

It wouldn't be difficult to recreate such a book in this era.

I just felt it wasn't necessary.

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated, so let's leave it at that for now...

"How are things on your end?" Seeing that Yukino was alright, Kousaka Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief and asked Enmusubi quite naturally, "Is there anything I can help you with? I can tell you while I still have time."

Let's put aside the big and small matters for now and study them later. Let's focus on the main issues now.

"I'm fine!" Upon hearing Kyosuke Kousaka's question, Enmusubi immediately put her hands on her hips, straightened her head, and ramrod straightened her back. "I have plenty of divine power right now, and I usually help protect this place."

"Yes, we've been so grateful to Lord Yuanjie these past few days," Su Yi echoed softly.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke asked the Goddess of Fate, "Shall I praise you?"

"Do you think I'm a child? I didn't come here to ask for your praise; I just wanted to see what you're like."

"Thanks for caring."

"It's not that I'm worried about you..."

Uh.

How should I answer that?

Also, is this awkward way of speaking something you learned from someone?

Kyosuke Kosaka resisted the urge to look up at the bunny-eared girl sitting upright. Her pale pink bunny ears stood straight up, and she looked like she was listening attentively.

Suddenly, he realized that there was nothing left in his space.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing the important matters, let's talk about some other personal things." Kousaka Kyosuke took out some more wooden materials from his spatial storage.

What to do? We want to make things that people want.

In this age surrounded by an ocean of "nothingness," even wood is a precious commodity, which is undeniably a sad thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to work as a miner in another world and then as a lumberjack.

"Kyosuke-sama..."

"I can't be with you for much longer during this period, so I hope to do something for you as a way of keeping you company."

Kousaka Kyosuke realized that Su Yi wanted to stop him and let him rest.

However, since he had been so happy before, he naturally had an obligation to fulfill some of his responsibilities as a husband, even if it was only a little.

"Kyosuke-sama, then please make a statue of yourself for me!" Su Chang knew that Kousaka Kyosuke was determined, so she took the initiative to make the request.

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless.

"Then I can only make one the size of a fist. If it were life-size, I would feel creepy if I put it at night."

After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell around him.

"..."

Kyosuke-sama makes a very good point.

Upon hearing the news, Arisu Sakayanagi came to see Kyosuke Kousaka and thought to herself.

Just like before, this future husband still has the kind of things that make people speechless and a little funny.

Is this considered talent?

"It's alright, it's nothing," Menreiki, who was sitting with her legs drawn up to Renka, said.

Upon hearing this reply, Kyosuke Kosaka responded, "That's not true for me. If you want one too, it'll be the size of a fist."

"Let's just give one of each of them!"

Lianhua offered her opinion and suddenly felt like a genius.

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed, "This is practically forced buying and selling. I'm rejecting it."

Each of them is a little doll bearing his image; thinking about it, you realize something's not right.

"Make me a wooden couch for a short rest using this fragrant wood."

While still exploring different types of wood, Kinara picked up a wood sample and said to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka finally showed a satisfied smile.

“You have good taste. This fragrant wood is very unique, with a fresh and elegant scent. I brought a lot of it specifically for this purpose.”

Fragrant wood, such as the well-known agarwood.

Those are all very expensive and valuable.

The obsession with fragrance in this era goes without saying; its value can be seen from the fact that nobles often did not bathe but instead used incense.

In times of peace, it could be more valuable than gold and jewels.

It's the same today.

However, this is merely superficial; as long as it's comfortable to use, that's enough.

“I just love this scent. It makes me feel so peaceful when I smell it while I’m sleeping,” Kinnara said enthusiastically.

The two small wings on its head also started flapping quite quickly.

Kyosuke Kosaka added, “There are three kinds of fragrant wood, and I brought a lot of each kind. There’s enough to build many houses. In short, there’s a lot of them, so you don’t need to worry too much about what you want to make with them.”

"Lord Kyosuke, you've cut down so many trees..."

Su Chang felt both admiration and inexplicable sadness.

She seemed to see Kyosuke Kosaka struggling as a miner and lumberjack in another world, and she thought how wonderful it would be if she could lend a hand.

"It was Kyosuke who summoned shikigami to cut down the trees, and the places he chose were all places where wild beasts gathered and there was no human habitation..."

Kagura realized that Su Chang, and even the others, seemed to have misunderstood, so she carefully explained the matter.

Even the God of Fate was stunned: "This journey to another world has really been incredibly profitable!"

Iron ore, fragrant wood, and those seemingly novel fruits and vegetables... Wow! She really wants to go too!

"I feel a little apologetic, after all, it's from another world, and I was quite efficient at collecting it," Kousaka Kyosuke said modestly.

This is something you really shouldn't be proud of.

It would be unfair to the people in the world that was plundered if the resources of one world were taken from another.

If they still act smugly, that would be incredibly shameless.

“We’ll apologize for later. Right now, we need to survive! The iron and wood you brought can still make life better for the people on the manor…”

The Goddess of Fate had already begun to defend Kyosuke Kousaka.

The Moon Goddess also said, "Yes, the land in the manor is all used to grow crops, and the trees that stabilize the soil and water cannot be easily cut down, so everyone is in great need of these..."

It was thanks to Kyosuke Kosaka's energy conversion array that he was able to start a fire, otherwise life would have been even more difficult.

"Yes! Kyosuke-sama is the best!"

Shizuko loudly praised Kousaka Kyosuke, knowing he must have hidden many crop seeds for her and Eru, and now she was extremely anxious...

"Kyosuke-sama is the best... the best."

Chitanda, who was next to Shizuko, repeated her words with a slight blush.
