In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

...

"So, this is just a misunderstanding, right, Lord Yuzhang?"

After a while.

Realizing her behavior was inappropriate, Kiyohara Noko obediently got off Lu Kang. Lu Kang coughed lightly twice and offered a brief explanation to the purple-eyed girl in the pink kimono opposite him—but he didn't really understand why he had to explain. He just looked at the black aura that was almost solidified and covered his entire body, and even as a great Onmyoji, he instinctively trembled and spoke.

Having realized everything, Xiangzi seemed to have suppressed her 'dark aura'... Although she maintained a quiet and elegant smile throughout, the feeling she gave off changed completely in an instant.

This led Lu Kang to suspect he was under a genjutsu and almost couldn't help but take a step back to unleash his 'ninjutsu' to break the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

He said, "It is indeed an illusion."

"Miss Kiyohara Noko only asked me to translate this copy of 'The Collected Poems of Li Bai'..."

Before his hand could even settle, Xiangzi snatched it away.

"The Collected Poems of Li Bai... Miss Nuozi, don't you understand Chinese?"

"Um...oh, yes."

Kiyohara Noko sat obediently to the side, glancing at Lu Kangye and then at Fujiwara Kaori opposite her. Her movements were honest, but limited to her actions.

Her mind was in turmoil, and it took her a moment to realize that Xiangzi was calling her. She quickly responded, putting on her usual carefree smile: "I come from a merchant family, so I really don't understand..."

"Then let me teach you."

Xiangzi spoke in a gentle manner.

But Nuozi always felt that something bad would happen if she refused.

She's just a little girl a few years younger than me... It's really strange.

Nuozi was truly baffled.

Although she was still a young girl, her womanly instincts told her... about the intimate connection between this girl named 'Kyoko' and Sugawara no Hajime!

Women are at their most terrifying at times like this.

Do not provoke them!

Seeing that Nuozi had agreed, Xiangzi gave a 'location' and then turned to look at Lu Kang.

Her eyes showed a hint of relaxation, yet also a sense of vigilance.

Seeing this, Kiyohara Noko quickly took her leave—"We can talk about challenges another time!"

Lu Kang responded to Xiangzi's gaze.

How could anyone not know what's going on?

As you know, after spending six years together since she was seven, Fujiwara Kaori has long been accustomed to your presence.

Childhood sweethearts are rare, but even rarer is a mentor who remains mature yet remains the same age as you.

You know that Xiangzi has a huge 'filter' for you.

[And there are also emotions that exist naturally through this filter.]

To you, she is still too young.

But for the times, she has gradually grown up.

In her heart, you are the most charming—and also the most likely to be 'taken away' by someone else.

Perhaps she hadn't realized this before.

But as you know, Kiyohara Nobuko's appearance served as a wake-up call for her.

Even if it's just a misunderstanding.

"Master Yuzhang."

Xiangzi rose gracefully, her smile serene, elegant, and perfect: "Do you like this 'position'?"

She slowly sat down.

She sat on Lu Kang's lap... The girl's scent was overwhelming, natural and refreshing, soft and close to her, and Lu Kang instinctively made a comparison.

Despite her young age, Xiangzi was undoubtedly more mature than Nuozi.

He met her gaze.

He thought to himself that every time he acted "utilitarianly," he received genuine affection in return, making him a true scumbag... but he really couldn't bring himself to continue acting utilitarianly.

"That was just a misunderstanding."

If he's a scumbag, then naturally you'll say scumbag things.

Lu Kang said matter-of-factly, "But not now."

In other words.

What I disliked just now is different now.

Xiangzi's face flushed.

So she leaned down and spoke into Lu Kang's ear.

"all in all."

"I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

That's the real reason she visited.

Because of last night's events, others only saw Lu Kang's strength—but she was only worried about whether he would get hurt.

Let's take this as a starting point.

[Xiangzi began to frequently visit the Yin-Yang Bureau.]

Chapter 122 Ashiya Dōman, who never gives up despite repeated defeats, and the Demon King of Mount Ōe

[Not just Xiangzi]

Kiyohara Noko also frequently visits the Bureau of Onmyō and pays her respects to 'Sugawara Hajime'.

【…】

It's more than just frequent.

She practically treats the Yin-Yang Bureau, or even Lu Kang's room, as her home!

"I say, we're not that close yet, are we, Ms. Kiyohara Noriko? And how did you get in?"

It was only half a day after Xiangzi left.

Having finished his official duties, Lu Kang, dressed in a hunting robe, pushed open the door and entered. He saw a familiar figure lying on his bed, her bright red kimono spread out like flowers blooming on the floor on both sides of the tatami mat. Her slightly protruding figure swayed her legs and her hips bulged. The girl heard the sound and slightly raised her large bow, then chuckled.

"How did you get in? You walked in, of course!"

Needless to say.

It must have been that old bastard Seimei who did it!

Noko, however, seemed completely unconcerned: "Anyway, Ms. Fujiwara Kaori isn't going to suddenly turn back—what are you worried about? Or are you scared?"

"If you're scared, just say so, and I'll be even more excited!"

What a heretic, a traitor to his master and a traitor to his ancestors!

As Lu Kang listened to these almost postmodern words, his eyebrows twitched and he wondered, "Are you the time traveler or am I?"

He looked at the girl's laughing and joking expression and was speechless.

"Didn't Xiangzi ask you to go and learn the Celestial Chinese language from her?"

"I've finished my studies!"

Nuozi sat up abruptly, staring at the handsome young man who had closed the door and was now sitting cross-legged on the floor. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "With my talent, that little bit of knowledge is a piece of cake..."

"As for what you just said, we're not familiar with each other yet... We'll get to know each other better if we talk more, right?"

"Don't forget, I still want to defeat you and win the title of 'Number One Talent in the World'!"

"for you..."

"It's the upright and honorable kind!"

After sitting up, Nuozi suddenly leaned forward and came very close to Lu Kang. Her pretty face, framed by her black hair, was only a few centimeters away from Lu Kang, who was sitting on the ground. Her suddenly magnified face was so clear that even her eyelashes could be counted.

Lu Kang then abruptly stopped.

Nuozi was slightly taken aback.

He then chuckled.

"You're quite good-looking, Yu Zhang!"

"Also, let's continue our previous topic—quickly, help me finish translating this book! I don't have the patience to wait until I've learned all of Chinese before translating it myself!"

She suddenly pulled out the book "Li Bai's Poetry Collection".

Lu Kang finally understood her true purpose... If he hadn't been distracted by glancing at his own eyelashes while translating, and hadn't secretly clamped his thighs together while he was explaining, then this would probably have been the case?

Feeling the soft touch from her thighs, Lu Kang looked down at the girl's shapely legs tightly wrapped in a kimono and couldn't help but turn them back together.

They rubbed and kneaded each other.

Until Nuozi let out a soft moan, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she shrank back, indicating that she had given up.

What kind of elementary school student behavior is this?!

You can't help but mentally complain.

But looking at Nuozi laughing and joking, you feel a strange sense of relief amidst your helplessness.

So you squeeze his thighs even tighter, preventing him from backing away.

[So Nuozi's pretty face remained slightly flushed throughout.]

You realized something was amiss.

You noticed the atmosphere had become slightly ambiguous.

Just as you were about to let go, you suddenly heard Noko say, "Let's continue like this."

You paused, looking at the girl whose pretty face was slightly flushed.

[He nodded immediately]

After all, you don't actually mind this kind of 'interaction'.

[After that]

She really does come every day.

Even though she would go to the agreed-upon location with Xiangzi every day to study Chinese characters and grammar, Xiangzi, despite not particularly liking this carefree girl, would still teach her diligently, leaving Noko feeling exhausted every day afterward.

But this girl's resilience seems quite astonishing; she still manages to find time to bother you.

[And they were all deliberately chosen at times when Xiangzi was unaware of them.]

Xiangzi's visit was a time for casual conversation about everything under the sun, including literature, and often involved playing little games 'initiated' by Lu Kang, just like in our childhood.

[Noko's arrival was always filled with 'excitement'—in her words, it was a thrill of 'cheating'.]

You're speechless at the words of this carefree girl.

Even though she's three years older than you, Nuozi seems more like a little girl in your presence.

She's here to challenge you.

But each time, towards the end, it always turned into asking for advice.

You also became her de facto 'teacher'.

The frequent visits of Xiangzi and Nuozi added a lot of vitality to the usually solemn Yin-Yang Bureau.

[So much so that some of your colleagues who know you well jokingly say that you are enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives at such a young age.]

Thankfully, Xiangzi didn't hear this.

[You secretly thought]

During this period, your reputation as a great Onmyoji finally spread throughout the world, and you gained even more.
