Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 155

He was the one who delivered the final blow.

"Okay, this way please."

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki, having forgotten the complex thoughts in his mind, quickly led the way.

Inside the mansion, two sisters were talking.

"So, do you want him to be your brother-in-law or your husband?"

"...Sister, Lord Kyosuke is much more noble and knowledgeable than my family...You should try harder."

"Ah, so you're not denying it!"

Hongmei looked at her younger sister Hui, feigning surprise.

The younger sister in front of me, Hui.

She's quite charming.

His facial features are well-proportioned, and his height is just right, neither too short nor too tall.

Her skin is smooth, with curves in the right places and contours in the right places.

She has no flaws; she is truly a wonderful woman.

"..." The younger sister, Hui, did not speak again.

Hiromi, the older sister, was smiling at that moment.

Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist.

The smile that bloomed on her beautiful and mature face was as alluring as a rose in full bloom.

What's most noticeable is the tiny beauty mark, about the size of a sesame seed, under the left corner of her mouth.

Not only did it not diminish her charm, but it added an even more alluring quality to her.

It is undeniable.

My older sister is so much prettier than me.

Hui touched his black hair, which barely reached his shoulders, again.

In the Heian period, when gods and Buddhas existed, some people had long hair, while others had short hair.

The imperial court's laws were not very enforceable.

However, the standard aristocratic woman had a thick head of long, flowing hair.

She must have failed miserably.

"I've inquired. This Lord Kyosuke rejected the peasant girl that Tango no Kami demanded, and her hair isn't much longer than yours~"

"...You don't need to comfort me about this. What I'm facing now is more important."

"Fine, whatever. If possible, let's stay together from now on."

"--Eh?!"

Hui, who had been relatively calm, suddenly showed surprise.

Her peaceful, beautiful eyes widened slightly, and her small mouth opened a little.

Hongmei smiled, not taking it to heart.

"No matter the era, men with a little status will never lack women, so it's better to just find one with a good personality."

As the words suggest, that's exactly what Hiromi thought.

Hui, however, remained motionless, as if her worldview had been turned upside down.

It appears to be showing signs of petrification.

"...Sister, this is not right."

"I have no objection if you can find someone who matches your status and is wholeheartedly good to you."

"..."

Hui didn't say anything.

Perhaps it is possible in the modern world.

In this day and age, it is almost impossible to find someone who is completely devoted to you.

Especially men of noble birth.

"Just treat this place like a dream, and it'll be better to immerse yourself in it!"

Hongmei encouraged her younger sister again.

The whole family was born into this world together.

His status was neither high nor low.

Unfortunately, they still lived in poverty, and in the end, it was his father who was willing to work hard to obtain a noble status.

Life has gotten much better lately.

Except for the two sisters who cannot travel freely due to their changed status.

That should solve most problems.

At least, he's much better than many others.

Hongmei learned that there are many people in this world who have had similar experiences to them.

However, due to various reasons, they all lived very poorly.

Their family were originally law-abiding citizens.

As the father was promoted to a junior official, the family became aristocratic.

Even the lowest level.

They can also be treated very well in their circumstances.

“…I understand.” Seeing that her sister was sincerely trying to persuade her, Hui didn’t throw a tantrum.

My sister is 22 years old now, which is considered quite old in this day and age.

If there are no men pursuing you yet.

The longer it goes on, the greater the criticism it receives.

This is a problem that must be solved.

It just so happened that my mother had heard about the boss my father had mentioned.

A young man in his early twenties who served as an assistant prosecutor against illegal activities.

Therefore, they set their sights on him.

However, Hui did not expect that her sister planned to take her along as well.

She was shocked by this particularly horrifying and ethically reprehensible thing.

It can quickly suppress emotions and calm down.

She also clearly sensed her sister's love and care.

"Hmm~ I'll meet with Kyosuke-sama in a bit, you wait for me."

"...I have absolutely no idea how to deal with this kind of thing."

"Don't worry, wait for my good news~"

Hiromi said it very casually.

She also felt pressured.

However, when she met Kyosuke Kosaka in the afternoon, her pressure lessened considerably.

Kyosuke Kosaka summoned a shikigami to cover the faces of her and her sister, Ichime no Kasa.

This made Hongmei realize that this person's personality was just as good as her father and mother had observed and guessed!

In addition, there was the previous conflict between Kousaka Kyosuke and Fujiwara Yasumasa and Fujiwara Yasuke in Kyoto.

Judging from his previous experience in flood season rescue and the restoration of Dajiang Mountain, he is highly capable and has an extremely resolute character.

He's a good man no matter how you look at it.

As for his fondness for maids or having several wives and concubines, there's no need to care about that at all.

This is the case for almost all nobles.

Even when her father had just become a junior official in the government, many people came to introduce him to potential marriage partners.

Hiromi, who had never seen her mother angry before, felt as if she had been seeing a demon for several days.

That was a demonic Rakshasa, with a gentle smile, yet far surpassing the evil and tyrannical ruler!

It seems that my father has little chance of remarrying.
