Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Hopefully, no tactless people will read this too much, or it will cause a breakdown.

The snake has hidden itself in the clouds.

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

I remember there was also a powerful "Orochi God" in the story.

It is formed by the fusion of the power of the Yamata no Orochi, which was sealed away after the release of divine power, and the sins accumulated over thousands of years.

If I'm not mistaken, the snakes that have always existed in the sky have roughly the same essence, only they haven't completely transformed into their full form yet.

At that point, we'll probably only be able to repel them, right?

Snakes are inherently immortal, let alone beings that have incorporated the negative forces of humanity.

The more Kousaka Kyosuke recalled certain events from the story, the more he realized that going all out this time might really cost him half his life...

Anyone with a brain knows they can't rely too much on plot inertia; they should talk to Seimei about their last resort.

Don't mess up his plans.

Knowing that he wasn't particularly bright, Kyosuke Kousaka preferred to have someone smart and trusting help him.

Just like governing a country, the best emperors are excellent at using people, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are very smart.

"Lord Kyosuke, we're almost there."

Komachi, who was traveling with Kousaka Kyousuke, reminded in a low voice.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said, "I know. You'd better be prepared. My desires gradually accumulate with the intensity of my longing."

"Hmph, I've been waiting for this for a long time!"

Komachi displayed a fierce and fearless demeanor.

At this moment, Komachi had lost much of her shyness.

All she hopes for now is that Kyosuke Kousaka will return safely so that the two of them can naturally get together.

As for other things, she didn't dwell on them anymore, nor did she have the energy to.

"Alright, now watch me subdue everyone!"

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his hand and spun around, looking ready for battle.

Komachi watched with a forced smile, trying to hide her inner sadness. She knew that Kousaka Kyosuke also wanted her to be happy, no matter what...

It's past noon.

It was supposed to be lunchtime, but everyone was practically lying down.

This is the scene after the battle.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who believed that action was more effective than words, took action without exchanging more than a few words with his other partners.

Fortunately, everyone seemed to have replenished their nutrition beforehand, otherwise the battle would have had to be stopped halfway through.

"Lord Kyosuke, would you like to bring the others back?"

Coming to her senses, Xiangzi finally spoke about what she had carefully considered before deciding to say.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Let them stay at the manor. If Orochi wants to play a targeted game, he can do it in front of me. I will stop him then."

"Hmm... Lord Kyosuke always acts like he knows Yamata no Orochi inside and out."

"Because he's really easy to understand, and his arrogance means he won't bother to hide anything. Of course, if he feels threatened by me, he might deliberately use cunning tactics."

No one in the world understands Yamata no Orochi better than me.

Kyosuke Kousaka could almost say that.

Of course, this is just a joke.

The main reason was that he understood all too well that no matter how he tried to guard against it, he could not prevent the Yamata no Orochi from reclaiming its divine status.

It would be better to think about attacking him directly and openly.

Then, if Orochi had even a little bit of a divine air about him, he would probably have focused his attention more on him than on his wives.

Ultimately, while Yamata no Orochi has a despicable side, it would never willingly trample on its own fundamental pride. To do something that would be utterly beneath its dignity would be truly disgraceful.

Kyosuke Kousaka pondered this for a long time before he could be roughly certain of it.

Having encountered the Yamata no Orochi several times, it's impossible not to know anything about it.

"Kyosuke-sama..."

Fujishikibu almost burst into tears; she understood the meaning behind Kousaka Kyosuke's words.

That means that if Kyosuke Kousaka is going to attract Orochi's attention, then he naturally won't deliberately target any of them.

“Alright,” Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled, “I don’t think I’m going to die. If something really happens, wouldn’t that mean the world is truly beyond saving? I’ve always believed that I’ll be the one who survives to the end.”

"It's good that Lord Kyosuke is confident, but you can't be too cautious." Sei Shonagon smiled, and she suddenly didn't want to cry anymore, even though she had originally wanted to.

According to Kyosuke Kousaka, he should be the longest-living person no matter what.

Doesn't that sound a bit arrogant?

Sei Shonagon inexplicably enjoyed listening to it.

"I've always been cautious, so you can relax and live your normal lives. Speaking of which, do you have any old friends or acquaintances you miss over there? If so, I can arrange for someone to bring them over to stay here temporarily."

As he responded, Kyosuke Kosaka asked questions, his gaze carefully observing the expressions of each of his partners.

At this point, he needed to focus wholeheartedly on preparing for battle, but that didn't mean he could forget to help his partner a little more.

In times of apocalypse like this, he wouldn't mind being an all-powerful wish-granting machine.

As a wish-granting machine for his partners, how could he not be happy?

"Lord Kyosuke, I'd like to ask how things are going with Kei?" Moe couldn't help but ask at this opportune moment.

Xiao Gui, also known as Bai Yin Gui, is her best friend in the modern world.

He's currently working at the Tsuki-no-Kami Shrine in the suburbs, but given the current chaotic situation, it seems he hasn't returned yet...

"Oh, that? I'm planning to move Zhuiyue and her followers to the manor soon, including Xiaogui. You don't need to worry about her too much. Zhuiyue is her guardian spirit and will protect her."

Kousaka Kyosuke answered with a smile.

He didn't just think of it now; it would take a lot of time to relocate the Moon Goddess, her followers, and the entire shrine, as the Moon Goddess is currently preparing for the ceremony.

"Who else? Anyone is fine. Otherwise, I'm about to leave, and I don't know if I'll come back. I need to check the situation outside to be sure," Kousaka Kyosuke said.

He vaguely noticed that Chika and Maki's expressions were somewhat unnatural, and a thought struck him.

Is it Kaguya Shinomiya?

This girl is also a succubus like Takamatsu Tomoe, and many girls like her too.

"Well, at a time like this, let them be at ease. If someone is seriously injured, I'll probably go to the manor to recuperate, so they won't all be so sentimental."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

He was already certain that he would not emerge unscathed from this great battle, and he had considered many possible scenarios.

Especially in terms of treatment.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want his current, more sensitive partners in his bedchamber to witness his future embarrassing moments.

Those people in the manor, having undergone trials and tribulations, possessed relatively strong wills, perhaps...

In short, it's best to take advantage of this opportunity and get everything done!

Not long before leaving, Kousaka Kyosuke met with Maki. After a conversation, he asked Maki to bring Shinomiya Kaguya, who was his aunt, over to visit.

This is the limit that Kyosuke Kousaka can achieve.

He didn't want to concern himself with how things would develop in the future.

Shen Shi.

Kyosuke Kousaka continued to lead Kagura, Yoto Hime, Hakuro, Yamausagi, and Hotaru on missions.

There were still many snake demons outside, but there were more Onmyoji and samurai fighting against them than before. Kousaka Kyosuke could even see many familiar figures.

"A-Ba and Kiyotaka are here too. I hope they can stay strong-willed."

Before leaving, Kyosuke Kosaka handed over many props and medical supplies he had made in his spare time to the most trusted steward in the family dormitory, asking him to distribute them to his brothers-in-law and other confidants working at the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, hoping that they could live to the end.

"Wait a minute, Kagura, you prepare the spatial magic first. The rest of you protect Kagura. I'm going to the market."

When they were almost at the shrine, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly spoke.

"Ok."

"Yes, Kyousuke-sama!"

No one has an opinion.

Then, Kyosuke Kosaka moved to the Yokai Market at a very fast speed.

This time, he was taking Azhi, Cat Shopkeeper, Itsumade, and her roommates to live in the manor.

It's safer than the Monster Market, no matter what.

It's important to understand that the danger at this point isn't just the snake demon, but also the monsters driven mad by the dense yin energy. Therefore, beyond the monster market lies a giant explosion.
