giving ajari mochi as a gift to someone who lives in Kyoto is bit stupid here
interestingly enough, kyoto can technically still be treated as the capital of japan, as there exists no legal document stating that tokyo is the capital city of current japan. political power was centralized from kyoto to tokyo, but the last de jure "capital" of japan is still (technically*) kyoto. tokyo remains the de facto capital of japan, as essentially everyone just agrees on it and it's japan's largest city. tokyo is designated to be part of japan's "capital area," but tokyo itself is not named in the legal documents as the capital of japan.just walking around in kyoto is experiencing history in an interesting way! kyoto (kyōto, then known as heian-kyō) geomancy was influenced extremely heavily by feng shui practices—this is why the city is arranged like a grid, like the then chinese capital chang'an (currently known as xi'an), and surrounded by mountains. it's also why suzaku avenue, the road leading to the heian palace (not kyoto palace, they are different), was the central street in those times—it is now known by senbon street. kyoto later abandoned the heian palace, moved/relocated away from the west and the kyoto palace was built. nowadays the central street of kyoto is considered to be shijō street.
Knowing him, he probably will fold actually and seriously consider it, thinking he'd be "doing it for her," and I'm assuming it will be on Miyuki to catch her brother's plans and insist on staying in Tokyo.and for sure in the next chapter, the MC definitely won’t return Miyuki back to Kyoto again, he’ll probably be thinking of a way to stay with Miyuki in Tokyo instead of Kyoto.
