Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

So, smart people tend to overthink things... On the other hand, if they didn't know the plot, they would probably wonder if Peacock King was a pawn on Orochi's side.

After careful consideration, Kyosuke Kosaka finally realized that Ara had revealed too little, which aroused suspicion.

Ultimately, people will always have a distrust of the unknown.

But Huang doesn't seem to have done anything wrong either; casually revealing other people's privacy doesn't seem like a good thing either.

But it would be more appropriate to reveal just a little bit of the more important information.

With this in mind, Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but place his hopes on Susanoo.

When the group arrived at the manor, Su Chang led Peacock King and Yaobikuni, with whom she had also gradually developed a good rapport, to the place for dance practice. At the same time, Kousaka Kyosuke also looked at Susanoo.

At this moment, Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Shiro are also here.

This should be considered the "men's group".

If Ara were to continue guarding Kyoto, and if he were to come along, it's possible that some of the nobles in Kyoto might go mad. The feeling of unease is indeed like a terrifying monster about to devour people.

"Lord Susanoo, would you mind revealing a little bit of information about Peacock King? We'd like to know more about her, even just a little about her country would be fine..."

“So that’s what you’re worried about,” Susanoo finally realized, beginning to understand why the atmosphere of their previous conversation had been so strange. It turned out that everyone distrusted each other. “The Peacock King’s country is currently suffering from a lack of spiritual veins. To be more specific, the spiritual veins connecting the entire world have been devoured by the evil god of lust.”

"As for the lustful evil god Kamaten, because his whereabouts were unknown, Ara searched for him using the power of the starry sea. In the end, Ara saw the Yamata no Orochi devouring Kamaten by revealing past events. Previously, the Peacock King had agreed that we should fight against Kamaten, but the situation has changed..."

Kousaka Kyosuke carefully went through the whole story and roughly understood it.

At first, Ara wanted to find a dancer to replace Ame-no-Tsurugi, and then he finally found Peacock King and made a promise with her.

They probably intended for Kousaka Kyosuke himself or Seimei to deal with the God of Lust.

Unexpectedly, this evil god had already been swallowed by the Yamata no Orochi, and they had only just found out about it.

The others were also aware of the situation, and thus, like Kyosuke Kousaka, they quickly pieced together the details.

"So, Lord Peacock King is on our side then."

Little White was wagging its tail happily.

It hadn't quite understood why Seimei's words were strange before, but it turned out he was deliberately saying unusual things to communicate with and test Peacock King!

“The spiritual veins that connect the entire world…” Minamoto no Hiromasa’s expression was serious, fully aware of the gravity of the problem.

They gradually let go of their wariness and some negative impressions of the Peacock King.

He had previously thought that Peacock King was a frivolous woman, but now he realized that her deliberate behavior must have had a deeper meaning.

"If we don't deal with Orochi soon, the collapse of that world is only a matter of time."

Seimei pondered for a moment.

Although Seimei cared more about the safety of Kyoto, he wouldn't simply ignore the innocent people in other parts of the world.

"That depends on how quickly the prayer ball begins," said Kyosuke Kousaka.

The whereabouts of Yamata no Orochi were hidden by Izanami.

Unless Orochi shows itself, the group can only wait passively.

Ultimately, he was a being of the level of a creator god.

Even if they are sealed, a little trick is enough to crush them all.

"That's true," Xiaobai sighed.

It was sorry to hear such a tragic story.

Unfortunately, there's really nothing I can do to help.

“It will be alright,” Susanoo said calmly. “I will reclaim the spiritual veins before the world of Peacock King falls apart.”

"Yes, let's all work together."

Kyosuke Kosaka then warmed up the atmosphere, easing the somewhat serious mood.

Next, he planned to take Susanoo around to see the many things here.

This deity has helped him so much without expecting anything in return, and there's a high chance he'll embark on a path of no return in the future. He must take good care of him during this precious time!

Ugh, my nose is so itchy.

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly sensed several familiar auras conveying various emotions. Without even investigating, he guessed that the dance practice area must be bustling with activity, and they even started talking about him. Sometimes, being popular can be quite a nuisance.

498. The Peacock King's Investigation / Su Chang's Casual Conversation with Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis

the other side.

As expected by Kousaka Kyosuke, the Peacock King, who had just met and actively interacted with Susang, Yaobikuni, Kinnara, Suzuhiko-hime, and others, learned about the basic situation of this world in just a few words.

Compared to her world, this world is indeed quite difficult.

At the same time, she had to admit that she had underestimated Kyosuke Kousaka, who seemed to be a supporting character.

"...Those people are really not to be underestimated."

After quickly analyzing the situation, Peacock King gradually realized that Seimei, Yaobikuni, and others were not simple people.

A human who could contend with the powerful serpent god who devoured Kama was surprisingly not very noticeable.

He seemed more like someone trying to ease the tension, while the others didn't seem to care much about Kousaka Kyosuke.

This doesn't seem right at all.

Are they guarding against her?

However, if they really wanted to guard against her, she wouldn't know so many things now.

"Well then, let's leave this small talk here for now. It would be very irresponsible of me to forget the important business I'm here for."

Having learned the basic information through indirect means, Peacock King did not intend to inquire further.

She has a lot of experience in dealing with people and situations.

Constantly trying to find out information will only annoy people.

As things stand, as the lead dancer, she needs to coordinate perfectly with all the backup dancers, without a single flaw.

Otherwise, if a mistake is made at the crucial moment of performing the prayer dance, the consequence could be the loss of all previous efforts.

Judging from the urgency, the world where the Peacock King resides is bound to perish, as it can no longer wait.

Even if this world is in a terrible state, with two powerful gods and one human whose strength is not comparable to that of a powerful god, these few people alone are enough to sustain the world for quite some time.

Thinking of all this, the Peacock King felt increasingly anxious.

But ultimately it wasn't made too obvious.

We need to maintain good relationships with everyone now; otherwise, the ceremony will not be successful.

Having immersed himself in the world of dance for many years, Peacock King knew all too well the importance of his other companions.

"Then good luck~" Su Chang thought that completing the mission meant choosing to leave.

Awakening the God-King Amaterasu should be considered the top priority in this world right now.

As long as this god-king is resurrected.

She will definitely be able to lead everyone to save the world!

After all, everyone in this country is her subject and devout believer, and all the gods of Takamagahara are subject to her. When everyone is united, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

"I'll take my leave now. I feel very reassured with everyone here."

Yaobikuni laughed.

Seeing that Peacock King had once again shown a positive attitude, she probably had a good idea of ​​what was going on. She would just need to ask Susanoo for more information when she got back.

Peacock King nodded slightly, and the other eight hundred nuns who knew her also smiled and nodded to her in farewell.

“Would you like to come with me, Bhikkhuni Yaobikuni? I have a good place to go.” Su Chang spoke up as she was about to leave and walk in another direction.

"Yes, since it's Su Chang who invited me, of course I'll go."

She didn't take the matter in her heart too seriously, and Yaobikuni readily agreed.

Because she firmly believed that the meticulous Seimei and Kousaka Kyosuke were already doing what she wanted to do.

"Hehe, let's go, I'll take you to a newly opened place."

"I'm getting more and more interested in exploring... Don't let me down."

"I can't guarantee anything, but I can assure you there will be benefits."

"So lacking in confidence?"

"Because I was facing Yaobikuni, a mysterious fortune teller."

Su Chang and the eight hundred nuns chatted as they walked, and soon left.

On stage, Suzuhiko-hime began performing the prayer dance with everyone, while Peacock King below the stage diligently took notes, deeply memorizing all the information about each person who would soon become her companion.

When it comes to matters of the world's rise and fall, she cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. She only hopes that her sternness in pointing out her companions' shortcomings will be accepted.

Bearing the future and hope of the entire world, it is only right to be meticulous and strive for excellence.
