Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1571

Seeing Su Chang, Yuan Jie Shen, Ling Yan Ji, and Hui Hu Xiao Ren speak up one after another, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that the scene was inexplicably powerful.

Perhaps, as the God of Fate said, this miraculous patrol team is indeed of the highest level.

Which aspect is the highest level?

That requires careful consideration.

"So, Kyosuke, why are you back?" Enmusubi asked again.

Upon hearing this, Kousaka Kyosuke turned his gaze to Suzuhiko-hime.

"I've come here on Lord Ara's instructions to find someone who can perform the Prayer Dance."

"A prayer dance?" The goddess of marriage exclaimed in astonishment. "Is this an attempt to awaken Lady Amaterasu?"

Suddenly, she began to understand why the God of Thought wanted Suzuhiko to return and become a god again.

It turned out to be such a thing!

"A prayer dance for the gods..."

Suzuhiko frowned, appearing deep in thought.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke continued:

"Although you have given up the opportunity to become a god, your experience and divine power are still a great force, which is enough to increase the chances of awakening Amaterasu-sama. Moreover, Ara-sama is also looking for a more suitable dancer."

"Huh? Is there someone in this world more suited to perform the Prayer Dance?" Suzuhiko Hime was slightly surprised.

Why didn't she know?

If so, she should have communicated with them before.

“Not in this world, but in another world,” Kousaka Kyosuke said succinctly.

Suzuhiko-hime immediately revealed a fascinating expression: "Could it be that she's searching for the Amaterasu of another world?"

Tengen-onna is the predecessor of Suzuhiko-hime, a complete form with divine power.

As it stands today, much of Ling Yanji's divinity has been integrated into the bodies of the Snow Mountain Clan, which is why they possess a stronger resistance to cold than ordinary people.

Correspondingly, Suzuhiko-hime has also become much weaker.

Therefore, if she were to return to the heavens, the price she would have to pay would be the lives of all the Snow Mountain tribes. Only in this way could she regain most of the divinity she had lost and become the Heavenly Maiden she once was.

Of course, Suzuhiko-hime, who considers herself the holy maiden of the Snow Mountain Clan, would not do that.

In the end, Sijinshen left.

Now, Suzuhiko-hime, like Enmusubi-shin, understands what Omoikane-shin most wants to do.

Compared to Tsukuyomi, the true evil god and former acting god-king, it is only natural for Shikin to want to awaken the original god-king, Amaterasu.

Having figured out the cause and effect, Suzuhiko felt quite embarrassed.

However, if she had to choose again, she still wouldn't sacrifice other people's lives to achieve her own.

"I don't know the specifics either," Kyosuke Kousaka shook his head.

What he needs to do now is to assist Suzuhiko-hime in quickly identifying those who are qualified to perform the Prayer Dance and teach them.

From today's perspective, reviving Amaterasu is far more important.

As for the evil god, if we want to deal with it, Kousaka Kyosuke will take Longkui with him. Kagura should focus on that for now.

“Okay, I understand,” Suzuhiko suddenly realized that what she had asked was not important; what was important was the Prayer Dance. “I will find some dancers who can perform the Prayer Dance immediately.”

Have you thought of a suitable candidate?

"Yes, Kinnara, the Moon Chaser, the Cherry Blossom Fairy..."

Suzuhiko-hime said it without hesitation.

It seems that during her time at the manor, Suzuhiko-hime has gotten along well not only with the people in front of her, but also with everyone else.

But why is Kinnara included in this group?

Kyosuke Kosaka found it hard to imagine Kinnara dancing.

If it were singing, or playing the pipa, it might be less out of place.

Speaking of which, Kyosuke Kosaka remembers that when he first met Kinnara, she really looked like a goddess.

Now… Kousaka Kyosuke couldn’t help but glance at Ekasabi.

"Hmph~" The God of Fate was still keenly aware of Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze, crossed his arms, and looked smug. "This deity is also willing to lend a hand."

"You can not."

"……Why?!"

Enmusubi staggered, and after regaining her balance, she looked blankly at Suzuhiko-hime who had suddenly "backstabbed" her.

Suzuhiko Hime looked apologetic: "Kami of Marriage, you're not really suited to the Prayer Dance."

"How could this happen? I managed to jump!"

The spirit of the predestined union seems unable to accept reality and immediately tries to actively express itself.

She was jumping, hopping, and spinning around, and suddenly blinked and made a strange peace sign.

What do you want to do?

Kyosuke Kousaka's urge to make sarcastic remarks is getting stronger and stronger.

"Is it a matter of aptitude?" Su Chang put on a serious look, pretending to be thoughtful. "It's like how some people are born with strong spiritual power, while others are born to practice martial arts."

"That's strange, I should be a god who is very suited to dancing..."

The spirit of the union still wanted to struggle, but it had already begun to emit subtle "whoosh" breathing sounds.

This god's physical condition isn't very good either, yet he says he's suited for dancing?

Kyosuke Kousaka almost chuckled.

"Anyway, Su Chang, Yuan Jie Shen, and Xiao Ren, you continue with your work. I'll go to the manor with Ling Yan Ji to pick out other suitable dancers. See you later."

"Okay, goodbye, Kyosuke-sama, Kagura..."

Su Chang happily waved goodbye.

Although my friend is suddenly missing one of her friends, her beloved husband is back, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it!

Enmusubi became listless, but still lazily waved goodbye to Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura, Suzuhiko-hime, and the others.

The little kiwi, which had settled itself on its two hind legs, also imitated the two by raising one of its front paws and waving its hand... Doesn't that seem a bit strange?

Kyosuke Kosaka was internally complaining.

Let's skip these.

On the way, Kyosuke Kosaka continued to ask Suzuhiko-hime for other suitable candidates to perform the prayer dance.

“There are quite a few, so I'll call them one by one, otherwise I might scare them.”

"...Am I that scary?"

"No, not at all. You know, other people will still care a lot about your identity, and if you suddenly show up, they'll definitely be apprehensive."

"Well, I don't plan to go find them myself. I'll have someone pass on the message, since I understand what you're saying."

"Oh, oh, I didn't even consider that... Hehe."

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke silently shifted his gaze away from Suzuhiko, who was tapping her head and sticking out her tongue, feeling somewhat out of place in this world.

Could it be that some of the "modern culture" in the manor has already spread widely?

Why are all these overly modern-sounding actions and terms appearing?

"Lady Suzuhiko, I wonder if I am also qualified to become a dancer?" Kagura asked, feeling uncertain since Suzuhiko hadn't mentioned her.

Suzuhiko exclaimed in surprise, "Kagura, of course you are qualified, but aren't you going to go to the world of the Six Paths Gate with Kyosuke to destroy those evil gods?"

“Awakening Amaterasu is a higher priority,” Kousaka Kyosuke said. “Kagura will learn the Prayer Dance from you first. We should try to have as many opportunities as possible to awaken Amaterasu and not overlook any chance.”

Kagura nodded, then shook her head.

"Even so, if I learn the knowledge of the Prayer Dance now, then I can continue to travel with you, Kyosuke."

"Don't take any chances with this time difference. Just stay here and prepare. We'll continue our journey together after this is over."

"……Um."

After carefully considering what Kousaka Kyosuke said, Kagura finally agreed.

Suzuhiko-hime, who had been keeping quiet, finally spoke up again.

"Kagura, don't think that the Prayer Dance is really that simple. When the prayers of all living beings feel like a thousand pounds of steel pressing down on you, and countless words keep ringing in your ears, that feeling is extremely uncomfortable..."

Suzuhiko-hime couldn't help but talk about the specific negative consequences of the prayer dance.

To put it simply, it requires not only considerable strength from the dancer, but also a will as firm as steel.

Otherwise, the most serious consequence would be that the soul would suffer almost irreversible damage.

"I will pay attention, but I will also try my best to do so, and I will overcome any difficulties that may arise."
