The heroines want to talk

"That monster sister is a little dangerous." Eriri said in a low voice while sitting next to Natsumi.

Ying Lili heard the conversation between the two, but she didn't interrupt. This was not something she needed to think about.

The big fool seemed to be working hard for himself...Knowing this was enough for Eriri.

But Eriri could feel the danger posed by Yakumo Yukari.

"She has no intention of attacking me, that's enough." Xia Shi said.

"Those Onmyoji might have acted for her," Eriri guessed.

"probably."

There is no other possibility except a big monster that could cause such a big movement in Heian-kyō.

Yakumo Yukari probably just wanted to see the anxious looks of those Onmyojis, just like how humans feel when watching ants moving. For her, perhaps only this kind of behavior can bring her fun.

Isn’t the life of a big monster too boring?

But this has nothing to do with me or the store. Now I should just run the business well and wait for the target to appear.

……

Three days later, one of Xia Shi's desired targets showed up in the store.

And it’s an excellent goal.

Fujiwara no Sadako should have just had her coming-of-age ceremony this year, and next year she will enter the current emperor's harem, becoming empress in October of the same year. There is no better match than this.

The development of events in this parallel world is extremely similar to reality.

Xia Shi did not take the initiative to meet the other party, and the reception was handed over to several store clerks. However, when the other party went upstairs to check the drinks, Xia Shi still met with the other party once.

A young girl who is in love for the first time really blushes easily, but Xia Shi has no interest in this 13-year-old kid. Even though the other party's eyes are full of admiration and love, and he keeps finding topics to talk about, and his enthusiasm is so great that even her guards feel embarrassed, Xia Shi still does not show any reaction.

According to her, she came here to buy wine for her father, Fujiwara no Michitaka, who was addicted to alcohol. As a daughter, she heard that a store with excellent reviews opened in the East Market, so she came here in person.

After a final conversation, the future queen took the best bottle of wine in the store.

Compared to Fujiwara no Sadako, Natsumi was actually more interested in Murasaki Shikibu, as half of his tragic childhood was due to the Tale of Genji written by the latter. Murasaki Shikibu also had the surname Fujiwara, and should have been born by now.

After a brief acquaintance with the other party, Xia Shi also achieved his initial purpose of coming to Heian-kyo.

It’s time to go back to Oeyama.

The store has hired some staff these days, all of whom are honest people with no bad history, so Xia Shi is relieved. Even if they steal and make some money, Xia Shi doesn't care, because the store was not opened for money.

Besides, the subsequent goods will also be shipped from Dajiangshan, and I need to come and check on them after some time, so I am not too worried.

It was exactly two weeks before he left, and Xia Shi left the city the next morning.

In the carriage, Yakumo Yukari poked her head out from the gap and said, "Three days have passed, and you still haven't given me the 100-year-old dessert you promised me."

She suspected she was being tricked.

But the other party did deliver the daily quota, which made Yakumo Yukari difficult to judge.

The main thing is that there are many varieties of desserts, all of which are types that I have never eaten before, which makes Yakumo Yukari very satisfied.

"I'll give it to you when we get back to Oeyama." Xia Shi was holding the ancient book and flipping through the information. Ying Lili was a little carsick and was lying on his legs.

"The Monster Mountain was originally cut down from Mt. Yatsugatake?" Xia Shi had always thought this was a myth, and he even wrote it in his diary as a joke.

I didn't expect that this thing is actually real in this world.

"Really." Yakumo Yukari secretly picked up a cookie from the plate next to Xia Shi.

It’s still more fun to eat other people’s food.

Your own stock doesn’t taste as good as what’s on other people’s plates.

"Women's desire to win is so scary." Xia Shi sighed.

It seemed that Konohana Sakuyahime had a serious illness. Seeing that Mt. Yatsugatake was taller than Mt. Fuji, she cut off a section of Mt. Yatsugatake.

"I'm a woman too~" Yakumo Yukari said teasingly.

"You are still the big sister who is always 17 years old."

"That's right." Yakumo Yukari nodded seriously.

My goodness, shameless women are really invincible!

"What are the creatures living on the Mountain of Monsters now? Tengu?" Xia Shi remembered that the Heavenly Demon seemed to be a Tengu.

"Yes. Crow Tengu, White Wolf Tengu, and Daitengu. Daitengu is the leader of the Crow Tengu. The Demon is the leader of the Daitengu." Yakumo Yukari told the news she knew.

"This person is really well-informed," Xia Shi sighed.

With someone like this around, it's really convenient to find out the situation.

In fact, Suika could also turn into mist to get information, but she was easily distracted by interesting things, so I felt that the effect was not good. Besides, it was a bit embarrassing to let the leader be a scout.

The ability of Gap is really suitable for spying...ah, investigating.

and many more……

Xia Shi looked at Yakumo Yukari with a strange expression.

Yakumo Yukari blinked at Xia Shi, "What's wrong? Are you suspecting that I'm abusing my abilities?"

"I'm not interested in human intercourse. Putting that dirty thing in...well, it's boring anyway." Yakumo Yukari said as she crawled into the gap.

Xia Shi covered his face.

This guy must have peeked.

As soon as this thought came up, Yakumo Yukari poked her head out from the gap again and said in defense: "I really didn't look at you, don't take it for granted!"

Xia Shi was about to refute when he saw Yakumo Yukari's somewhat angry expression.

Well, it seems that the other party really didn’t peek.

Chapter 301 Autumn

When they returned to Oeyama from Heian-kyo, the first person to come out to greet Natsumi was actually Ibuki Suika, the apparent leader. She was looking around on the small path at the foot of the mountain, like a woman waiting for her husband to return.

Xia Shi was touched for a while at first, but after he found out that the other party's goal was just for watermelon, he felt that he had really thought too much.

After Suika left with the watermelon, Ibaraki Hanasu arrived. She asked about the opening of the store and didn't say much after knowing that everything went well.

Everything in life afterwards was very dull, and this was exactly what Xia Shi had always dreamed of.

Two months later...

After the summer, the weather gradually became colder and the originally lush vegetation on the mountain turned yellow. It was a good day to enjoy the maple leaves.

"Hiss~" the door of the wooden house in the peach blossom forest was pushed open.

Xia Shi shrank back, rubbed his hands and let out a breath.

"So cold~"

Why is it so cold today? It’s like we’ve passed autumn and entered winter directly.

Is global warming also happening in the other world?

The cold wind blew into the living room through the crack in the door. Yakumo Yukari, who was resting in the living room, shouted at the door, "Close it quickly! It's freezing!"

Damn it, where does a tenant get the courage to point fingers at me, the landlord?

"Why don't you just hibernate?!" Xia Shi closed the door. He was originally planning to go out to practice sword.

But this weather is really torturous.

I can no longer stick to self-disciplined activities. Who is to blame for all this?

Yakumo Yukari! That’s right! It’s her.

Laziness is contagious, Xia Shi is sure of that.

Otherwise, with his determination to distribute flyers in Shinjuku in the middle of summer without feeling tired, how could he give up so easily?

Sitting in the living room, Xia Shi put his feet into the kotatsu.

"Why should I hibernate? Only fools would sleep in such a warm autumn!" Yakumo Yukari picked up a mandarin orange from the kotatsu table, peeled it, and carefully tore off the white orange peel.

Xia Shi watched her peeling the orange, and he complained in his heart——

Pretentious!

Could it be that orange peels are poisonous? Who would die if they ate them? People from the underworld? Necromancers?

Seeing how seriously she was handling the matter, Xia Shi suddenly wanted to eat the mandarin oranges too. After picking one up, Xia Shi rubbed it a few times and peeled it. Then he divided the orange into several pieces and handed one of them to Eriri, who had only her head sticking out of the kotatsu.

"Ah~" Xia Shi brought the orange petals to her lips.

"Ah~" Ying Lili lay on her back and slowly opened her mouth.

"You'll get fat if you keep going like this~" Ying Lili felt the sweetness in her mouth, narrowed her sea-blue eyes slightly, her face full of happiness.

As expected, it is right to eat mandarin oranges in cold weather~

"I've gained weight~" Xia Shi didn't say this out loud.

As for how to know.

Mainly the feel... It's hard to describe. But compared to the overly thin body at the beginning, Eriri is healthier now. I don't know whether I should be happy or not.

"It's okay~ The sweets eaten by girls are placed in another stomach." Xia Shi said as he handed over another portion.

Eriri opened her mouth with a look of disapproval.

Yakumo Yukari watched them show their affection and silently plucked the orange peel.

Human love only lasts for a few years anyway. When the passion fades, it's time to cry.

"Don't forget to tell me when you break up." Yakumo Yukari peeled the orange, gently picked up one of the strands, and then smiled wickedly at Xia Shi: "I'll laugh at you then~"

"When you fall in love with someone else one day, you will know how I feel." Xia Shi said and fed Ying Lili another bite.

"I like you so much~ Tanuki~" Yakumo Yukari said in a strange tone.

Xia Shi ignored her and quietly changed the subject, "Are you ready to pay the rent?"

"Rent?" Yakumo Yukari held an orange and crawled into the kotatsu.

Xia Shi could feel her slender feet, and at this moment the three people's legs were entangled together.

Ying Lili's is smaller and feels very good... Xia Shi has never touched Aunt Zi's feet, so he is not sure, but they look pretty good.

'...'

Am I a pervert for thinking this? Xia Shi pulled his feet closer to the kotatsu.

Yakumo Yukari took a deep breath like an old man, "It's so warm~"

This invention is simply invincible.

"rent?"

"What is that?" Yakumo Yukari was about to deny the debt.

The terms agreed upon two months ago were to stay for a month and help with a small matter.

Just think of it as helping the servants. That’s what Yakumo Yukari originally thought.

But the other party seemed to be preparing to drag her into doing something big. To be honest, Yakumo Yukari was a little scared.

Now I owe a big thing, which is the payment for the 100-year dessert last time. In addition, there are two small things...which are the rent for food, drink and accommodation for the past two months.

Yakumo Yukari felt that she couldn't go on like this any longer!

Otherwise, you will owe too much and won’t be able to pay it back!

If I live here for a few more years, won't I have to sell myself to pay off my debts? That's not okay!

After all, he is also a big monster, and even among the big monsters, he is a gifted being. He has cultivated to this level in hundreds of years. It cannot be said that there will be no one better than him, but it can be said that there has been no one before him.

"Yakumo Yukari! Yakumo Yukari! You can't continue to degenerate! You have to give up the kotatsu and go out to have fun!" A flame called self-esteem ignited in the heart of the golden-haired realm monster, and with the blessing of this motivation!

Yakumo Yukari climbed halfway up and then turned over.

It's like a salted fish that's half dried, it's time to change its appearance.

"What I said last time, are you really not going to help?" Xia Shi asked again.
