Chapter 561 - Chapter 36: Fujiwara no Fuhito Opportunity (Mist)

Knowledge and strength actually have no correlation. After all, the Sword God of Shibali Slope would probably instinctively slash at a car driving towards him, even if his strength were immense. Even after arriving in an different world, cautious people will inevitably fight fiercely with the air. In short, the power of the 'unknown' often exceeds the imagination of most people.

However, contrary to Lancer imagination ——————

'Although they are backward things, they are truly interesting. I must take these things back with me when I return later.'

There is no doubt that Kaguya Houraisan greatest desire at this moment is still to return to the Moon.

On the other side, Lancer, who had put away the game console, flipped out of Kaguya Houraisan room through the window again. He wondered if it was his misconception, but he felt that some of his strange skills seemed to be becoming more proficient?

——————

In modern society, single men sometimes mock themselves as 'single dogs,' and among them, there is a special subspecies, the 'lone wolf.' They often possess sufficiently excellent 'resources' but choose to be single for various reasons.

However, there is no doubt that these adjectives are not suitable to describe the five men currently sitting in front of the young girl. They are undoubtedly standard winners in life. It can be said that the achievements and things they have obtained in their lifetime are enough for most people of this era to pursue all their lives yet still be unable to reach. Moreover, in their romantic lives, they all have many wives and concubines. If a descriptive term must be given, it would probably be 'Lion,' right? After all, there are not many animals in nature that possess their own harem.

However, the mood of the five people at this moment was extremely conflicted. Although they were fanatical because of the 'Celestial Maiden' in front of them, it didn't mean they had completely lost their minds. Everyone present was sharp-eyed, and they all noticed the tiredness in the other party's eyes.

"Miss Kaguya-hime, I have a jade pillow passed down from the Western Regions that is said to help people sleep peacefully!"

"Miss Kaguya-hime, I have a secret medicine for treating insomnia specially obtained from the Tang Dynasty!"

"Miss Kaguya-hime, the music played by my musicians is like celestial music and will certainly help you sleep peacefully!"

"Miss Kaguya-hime, I know an enlightened high monk whose magical powers are immense and who can definitely cure your insomnia!"

Looking at the performance of his four 'love rivals,' Fujiwara no Fuhito remained motionless. After all, the methods he could think of had all been snatched up by these three 'old fellows' beside him. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Speaking of which, he was also very angry. In terms of status, he was the highest among everyone present; in terms of age, he was the youngest among everyone; in terms of talent, he was naturally the strongest among everyone.

It can be said that he was the seed candidate in this 'marriage proposal.' However, those four guys also seemed to realize his advantage, and they even went so far as to gang up to trip him up to some extent, such as jointly excluding him when speaking. He was very helpless about this.

Although his status is high, it is only relatively speaking. If those four old fellows really united, it would be enough to cause him trouble.

With a helpless look, he had no choice but to use an option that was not a good solution.

"Miss Kaguya-hime, is there anything I can help you with?"

Is it strange that this choice is not a good solution? It's simple, because this question is equivalent to throwing the problem back to the other party. And for people like them, sometimes nearly half an hour of chatting is actually just for one sentence, and the reason for this is the so-called 'Courtier's Dignity.' Not to mention, you are asking someone for a favor and letting the other party speak? Do you hope the other party will make an excessive demand? Don't let the other party ask for something that cannot be fulfilled, not only failing to achieve the goal but also reducing the affection value.

As expected, as soon as Fujiwara no Fuhito said this sentence, everyone's expression towards him instantly became subtle, and many people even showed a slight smile at the corner of their mouths. However, what they didn't expect was that Kaguya Houraisan, who was originally a little tired, suddenly froze.

"I wonder, Lord Fujiwara, do you know of a white screen that is not transparent?"

No one expected Kaguya Houraisan to speak at this moment. After all, the other party had actually never accepted anyone's gift. All the gifts sent by everyone, including them, were returned intact before. Many people even felt that this Kaguya-hime was truly without desires, but the thing the other party wanted was really... something that made people not know what to say.

Generally speaking, women of this era, even daughters of commoners, would generally not show their faces easily, let alone the daughters of Courtier families like theirs. And although Kaguya Houraisan is called 'Kaguya-hime,' she is actually different from a real 'Hime' (Princess).

Although due to her own uniqueness, she actually has a higher sense of presence than those so-called Hime, because she herself doesn't care too much about things on the surface world, some things are actually absent, such as the fact that as an unmarried girl, she does not have special curtains set up in front of her door to block the view of others.

So why does the other party want a screen? Could it be ——————

That's right, the reason Kaguya Houraisan wants this is purely because she wants a screen for the projector.

"I will do my best to find it."

"I will give you the appropriate reward later."

Kaguya Houraisan words made Fujiwara no Fuhito a little disappointed. After all, he preferred the other party to accept it directly, but he didn't say that extra sentence. After all, based on his observation of the young girl in front of him, he had already realized the pride hidden beneath the exterior of a Yamato Nadeshiko. If he really said that, it would probably anger the other party, right?

——————

The five people left Kaguya Houraisan house and went down the mountain separately, and Fujiwara no Fuhito immediately dispatched his subordinates to return to Fujiwara-kyō to search. As expected of the person second only to one person and above ten thousand people in all of Japan, he actually found something that met the requirements —————— a stone screen.

Unfortunately, after getting the answer, he immediately vetoed it. After all, anyone with a bit of sense knows how heavy a huge stone screen would be. Could the tatami mats in Kaguya-hime room bear the weight? Not to mention, even if this thing could be used, there's no way he would send this thing. After all, how would that show his uniqueness?

Just like that, time passed. Lancer hunted demons nearby during the day and went to Kaguya Houraisan room at night to play games with her. As for safety issues? He had already bound the destination of his 'Teleportation Staff' to Kaguya-hime room before.

Even if something went wrong, he could rush back, and as for communication? He had already placed the 'Demon Ghost' he captured within the convoy just to be absolutely safe.

And just as Lancer had returned after playing with Kaguya-hime for most of the night, took a short nap, and was preparing to go out to hunt demons, an unexpected guest arrived.

"Lord Fujiwara no Fuhito?"
