Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Good! That's the kind of unwavering will we need!"

Suzuhiko-hime became excited immediately upon hearing Kagura's words.

Kousaka Kyosuke could vaguely see the invisible burning flames behind Suzuhiko Hime.

That's too stubborn.

"Has Suzuhiko-hime already been assimilated by everyone after all this time?"

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

He keenly sensed many familiar shadows in this deity.

That's why he kept coming out with his innermost thoughts.

Upon arriving at Su Yi's office, Kyosuke Kosaka began to tell his wife, whom he had only recently parted ways with, about the important business he had come to conduct.

"I understand. May I ask, Lady Suzuhiko, which people do you think are qualified? I will have someone summon them."

"Then be gentle."

"Please rest assured in this regard."

Su Yi gave a serious reply.

When Kyosuke Kosaka heard Suzuhiko-hime give her another piece of advice, he felt that this goddess was indeed someone he could befriend.

Because these repeated instructions contained consideration and care for those acquaintances.

After all, it's normal for a person to feel uneasy if they are suddenly summoned by someone from the ruling class.

How many people can truly remain calm and composed?

This is true both in ancient and modern times.

Not to mention in this ancient society with its strict hierarchical system.

Who knows, the moment they heard the news, they were already fantasizing about being punished.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Fifteen minutes later, Honoka, who had been summoned, hurriedly made preparations with her companions.

What to prepare?

Of course, one should groom oneself even more carefully than usual; otherwise, it would be the same as going out in the modern world without makeup—it would be extremely disrespectful.

Leaving those aside for now, why did Su Yi summon them?

As the wife of the current owner of the manor, Su Yi is highly respected by a group of people.

Besides the imposing presence of Kyosuke Kousaka, there's also Su-i who occasionally deals with a group of rule-breakers, some of whom are relatives of Kyosuke Kousaka.

For this reason, everyone has a great deal of respect for the rules set by the manor.

This also filled them with awe for the strict adherence to this principle.

“Don’t worry,” Honoka’s childhood friend Sonoda Umi said slowly. “We haven’t done anything against the rules, and the person who invited us was very polite. From this point of view, it’s impossible that they came to ask us to do something wrong.”

"Hai Wei."

Minami Kotori looked at Sonoda Umi with a subtle expression.

Sonoda Umi asked疑惑地问道：“Is something the matter?”

"...You're wearing your clothes inside out."

"what?!"

Uh.

Honoka looked at Sonoda Umi, who was making exaggerated facial expressions as usual, and didn't know what to say.

"She was clearly nervous too, but she pretended to be calm."

It will remain the same as always.

"Waaah! Did I really make some mistake?" The timid Koizumi Hanayo almost cried.

She felt that she hadn't made any mistakes, and everyone had been behaving well.

So why is this happening?

"Something must have happened. Besides, Lady Suyi is very gentle, so don't overthink it."

Rin Hoshizora poked Hanayo Koizumi's cheek with her finger.

Nishikino Maki said, "Yes, that's roughly how it is. In short, we should just answer whatever Lady Suyi asks and not worry about anything unrelated."

Compared to her panicked companions, Maki Nishikino was relatively calm, and even when she heard the summons, she didn't show much emotion.

If you have nothing to hide, what is there to be afraid of?

She's a little confused right now.

Because they performed in the same order as the other bands, they didn't do anything extra during that time.

In fact, all they did all day long, besides training, was perform on stage, rest, and then train again.

Overall, I'm very busy.

It was also very fulfilling.

"Could it be that our performance is too monotonous?" Hoshizora Rin offered her own guess. "Other bands use a variety of instruments, but we just invited a few musicians who were available to help with the accompaniment, and everyone sang together... Although we have an audience, I've still heard people say that it's not good enough."

"—?!"

Several people were stunned when they heard Hoshizora Rin's guess. Even Nishikino Maki, who was not nervous, began to feel nervous and unconsciously picked up her fingers and twirled her hair.

“If that’s the case, we can try playing and singing at the same time…”

Snapped!Snapped!

"Alright, alright," Tojo Nozomi clapped her hands with a smile, bringing everyone back to their senses. "Since you don't know, go see Lady Suyi, and you'll find out what's going on."

Standing next to Tojo Nozomi, Ayase Eli nodded gently: "Thinking too much won't help. It's better to find out the whole story first."

"Yes, Captain and Eri are right. Don't take things too seriously." Yazawa Nico was quite speechless.

According to normal thinking patterns.

It's just that they didn't make any mistakes, and their performances have a certain audience, so they must have been contacted for something else. Why are you all thinking in a sinister direction?

Do they all have paranoia?

Moreover……

"Our band was formed at Kyosuke-sama's suggestion, so unless something goes wrong on our part, there won't be any problems."

The thought of Kyosuke Kousaka made Nico Yazawa's heart pound.

She quickly suppressed it with unwavering willpower.

She couldn't afford to think about anything like that right now!

487. Another contracted shikigami/reinforcements/obligation

The manor's inner courtyard and gardens.

At this moment, a group of beautiful young women gradually gathered here.

Kyosuke Kosaka saw many familiar faces from the past, which felt quite strange.

I don't know if it's because the world is too small, or because I know enough people.

"Next, it's Suzuhiko-hime's turn to shine."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had no intention of saying much, gave Suzuhiko Hime the opportunity to speak.

He doesn't want to use that kind of modern speaking style in a setting with many acquaintances.

That would be too formal.

“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony—” Suzuhiko nodded, then clapped her hands to attract everyone’s attention. “Everyone, I’ve called you here today because I need your help with something.”

"That means we need some dancers to perform the 'prayer dance,' which, as the name suggests, is a dance to pray for the awakening of the gods... In short, I need everyone's help."

Suzuhiko's account was vague, and she didn't intend to let everyone know too much.

After all, knowing too much doesn't really do you any good.

Although some clever people had already guessed it.

Or how could I not have guessed it?

"Many people knew on the day of the judgment that Amaterasu had transformed into the sun and gone into slumber to save the world..."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

And Kyosuke Kousaka's thoughts certainly confirmed this.

Many of those who were summoned realized what was going on and immediately guessed who the so-called "god" was.

"Now, I will check your compatibility with divine power. Because performing the prayer dance requires dancers to have certain physical qualities, I will inject divine power into you in advance to strengthen your bodies."
