Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

The God of Fate looked very serious.

Kyosuke Kosaka squinted, feeling that this serious face looked familiar, but his mouth was sharp.

"She's asking you to improve your treatment."

"I don't have any money right now..."

"hehe."

Kyosuke Kousaka chuckled, thinking that there wasn't much difference between Enmusubi and Aqua anymore.

When it comes to playing dumb, he can act just as genuinely naive as if it were real.

"When Lord Enmusubi has money in the future, will you give me some salary?" Kasumigaoka said with a smile.

The Goddess of Fate exclaimed in surprise, "You said yes?"

"I spend my free time reading books. Being able to help couples find love is a good thing."

"Yes, that's right! That's exactly the concept we're looking for!"

"Does the Goddess of Fate have any other requests..." Kasumigaoka asked again.

Seeing that the two were already discussing the future development of the shrine, Kyosuke Kosaka listened quietly without disturbing them.

About 15 minutes later, Kousaka Kyosuke said goodbye to the two and went to find Kagura.

He came here initially worried about the condition of the Moon Goddess, but then he noticed that he would check on Kasumigaoka and Enmusubi whenever he had free time. Now that they were all entangled together, he felt relieved.

"..."

Watching Kyosuke Kousaka leave, Kasumigaoka was about to continue speaking with the Goddess of Marriage.

Then, she saw the "doting" gaze of the God of Fate.

"Lord Fate God..."

"Well~ I know, I know everything~ Just do what you want to do, as the shrine manager, I will definitely support you!"

"Shopkeeper... is this shrine about to be commercialized?"

"Commercialization? I don't quite understand that term, but in any case, the shrine needs to sell some things in order to develop better."

Development? Making money?

Kasumigaoka's feelings were hard to describe; he suddenly realized that the God of Marriage might actually be a very unreliable god.

Fortunately, the Goddess of Fate didn't talk much about Kyosuke Kousaka, which relieved Kasumigaoka a little.

A romantic thought couldn't help but flash through my mind again.

"Does everyone deserve happiness...?"

Who knows?

Day 290 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka took Kaori with him to his uncle's house.

In the following days, he planned to visit each of his wife's relatives when he had free time.

"It's only been about a year, but it feels like so much time has passed," Xiangzi chuckled.

Inside the oxcart, in the relatively narrow space, Kousaka Kyosuke was gathered with Kaori and Mafuyu.

Mafuyu's true identity meant she should be out in the public eye, but Kousaka Kyosuke didn't really want to do that.

So he directly cast a spell to impair cognitive function and then gave the cow a spell to strengthen its body.

Although using Yin-Yang magic like this is quite absurd, I'll just ignore it for my own amusement.

"Yes, a long time has passed, mainly because so much has happened. It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?"

"That's true. Now when I think about it, I always remember those major events that I can't forget..."

Xiangzi looked dazed.

The extermination of Mount Oe, the turmoil caused by various evil spirits and monsters, the political crisis... each one is a terrifying danger.

What's remarkable is that her husband always handled things very cleverly.

This shows how hard the husband works.

“It’s all over now,” Kousaka Kyosuke said. “But as the largest human settlement, Kyoto has always been a place of crisis, so just keep a calm mind.”

Xiangzi chuckled softly, her pink lips close to Kousaka Kyosuke's as she whispered something.

"You need to be energetic sometimes; everyone welcomes a banquet whenever it's held."

Mafuyu, who was being held on the other side by Kousaka Kyosuke, had no expression on her face, but her body was trembling.

Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to laugh very much.

He seemed to hear the high-pitched, mournful sound.

Mafuyu was Kousaka Kyosuke's first woman, and she was always special in some ways.

For example, like this now.

Mafuyu wasn't unhappy, but she was so nervous that she could only keep a straight face.

This is a behavior that has not been corrected to this day.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't intend for her to make the changes.

Because it's fun.

“Matsuyu has tacitly agreed~” Kaori, however, did not let Mafuyu off the hook.

Mafuyu nodded quickly, and Kousaka Kyosuke could see the afterimage.

"By the way, your uncle's family has been without a successor for a long time. Do you have any ideas about that?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked again.

Xiangzi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that Kousaka Kyosuke had other ideas.

"Lord Kyosuke, do you mean you want to find an heir for your uncle?"

"Yes, I want to find a kind-hearted person in the community who can take good care of my uncle."

Is that not all?

With a warm feeling in her heart, Xiangzi sighed inwardly, feeling that it was the right thing to focus more on Kousaka Kyosuke.

She had an advantage over Fujishikibu and Sue, but she didn't put all her attention on Kousaka Kyosuke, which was really wrong of her.

More important than literature, classical culture, or idols is her husband who takes care of her all the time.

As for blood relatives, let's put them aside.

"Although my uncle and aunt still want to improve their relationship, I no longer dare to trust them."

"It would be better to maintain a friendly relationship with Toyomi and Chika..."

Xiangzi thought.

She actually knew that her uncle and aunt, Fujiwara Daichi and Fujiwara Manho, were both kind-hearted.

However, this did not apply to Fujiwara Masataka, Fujiwara Masakazu, and some other distant elders.

They were all politicians, professional politicians, and Xiangzi couldn't trust them at all.

Then, upon hearing that Fujiwara Masataka was in charge, how could Kaori possibly trust Daichi and Manho?

She was the first wife, and no matter how you looked at it, she was a thorn in your side.

The three sisters, Fengshi, Qianhua, and Mengye, are kind-hearted, but they can't stand their elders causing trouble, which Xiangzi finds terrifying.

On the contrary, Xiangzi had a very good impression of the two sisters, Su Yi and Su Chang.

Even though she was quite aware that the Qin family would be inextricably linked to her husband in the future, and that this could easily lead to conflicts over power, so what?

In the current situation, the husband has no one else he can use.

Would it be appropriate to give it to the clansmen to whom Fujiwara Masataka belonged?

Xiangzi disagrees.

It is very clear that the Fujiwara clan has fallen behind the Minamoto and Kamo clans in terms of martial arts and magic. Most of the elite clan members are under the control of the Taoist priest. How good can the clan members that Fujiwara Masataka can win over be?

We can't let those people manage the Qin clan members, whose martial arts skills are generally excellent, can we?

Knowing that her husband preferred to employ talented people, especially relatives, she was absolutely certain that Kyosuke Kosaka would continue to use members of the Hata clan no matter what.

Unless the Qin family's men are inferior to those under Fujiwara Masataka's command, nothing they do will make a difference.

Next, Kyosuke Kosaka is going to introduce his successor to his uncle?

Xiangzi understood that Kousaka Kyosuke intended to create someone for her to rely on.

She generally understood that Fujiwara Masataka could never be sincere towards her.

"Uncle Changlong is the same... presumably his inclination was too obvious and was noticed by Lord Kyosuke. Now he would rather find a clansman he recognizes than contact him."

Xiangzi sighed inwardly, not wanting to deal with such trivial matters, and simply nestled in Kousaka Kyosuke's arms for a short rest.

Seeing that Kaori was sleepy, Kousaka Kyosuke hugged her even tighter, as did Mafuyu.

to be honest.
