Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"May I?"

“Sure!” Haruka replied immediately.

It would be absolutely foolish not to make money when you can!

Because what you earn now can buy more spices, as well as vegetables, fruits, and meats that are common in modern times but rare in this era. You can also buy a lot of beautiful silks, or even have a set of clothes custom-made. In short, you can do many things that interest you.

There is no reason not to agree.

"I'll give you a delivery address later. Please let me know once it's finished making it, because I'm sometimes away from home for work..."

Kyosuke Kosaka took out several banknotes that functioned as currency from his sleeve, while uttering some random, offhand remarks.

Not far away, Kikyo Kushida and Honami Ichinose, who were about to come over to see their friends' stall, were completely bewildered. When they saw Kyosuke Kousaka paying at the stall and Chihiro actively packaging sachets, they felt that this was all too unexpected.

Especially Kikyo Kushida, she felt that this coincidence had reached an unbelievable level.

Her mind was already racing, wondering if Kousaka Kyosuke was interested in Haruka and Chihiro. But it didn't seem like it at all. After all, Kushida Kikyo could tell from the past few days that Kousaka Kyosuke was actively interacting with his wife and lovers. How could he possibly be in the mood to pay attention to other girls?

Even when Kyosuke Kosaka runs into her, he asks her a few more questions and chats with her.

If it weren't for the fact that Kikyo Kushida was always busy, she and Kyosuke Kousaka would probably have gone to a secluded corner to look at flowers and enjoy the scenery several times already.

Honami Ichinose felt it was a coincidence from the very beginning.

She was happy that Chihiro and Haruka's skills were recognized, but she was currently troubled by a problem.

For example, it seems that the money paid by Kousaka Kyosuke is more than just the price of twenty sachets. Could it be... If that's the case, how should we explain it later?
