Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

On our side, we only wanted to make the transaction and didn't bother to gather information, perhaps also because we were concerned about avoiding any taboos.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka knew almost nothing about the outside world.

So far, the only thing he can be sure of is that war is still going on in the Tang Kingdom. Due to the uncertainty, he has chosen not to believe any other information.

As for why we should take a slight risk going there?

Kyosuke Kosaka was actually worried about whether he would encounter a heavenly tribulation, the chain reaction it would cause, and whether he could return after successfully overcoming the tribulation.

As he gradually adapted to the unfamiliar rules of this world, Kyosuke Kosaka had a vague feeling that he would have a major breakthrough after returning to the familiar environment of cultivation. This feeling grew stronger and stronger as time went by.

For this reason, Kyosuke Kousaka chose to deal with the Yamata no Orochi matter first before proceeding with his exploration in an orderly manner.

"Even if I wanted to live a lazy life like this, I wouldn't have time to think about it. I can't give ordinary people like Xiangzi, Zezi, and Nuozi a short lifespan."

"Becoming a demon is likely not a suitable option for them, and they would also reject it. Besides, demons have a limited lifespan, unless they are exceptional beings like the spider lily..."

Although Kyosuke Kousaka avoids thinking about such realistic and cruel matters, it is hard for him not to have strange thoughts as the trial of Orochi approaches.

The death of any partner could be a huge blow to him, and if it happens too often, he might just turn into some kind of Indra.

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly began to understand Higanbana, who had a playful personality.

It would be really unfair to not find some fun during such a long time. Well, coming to think of it, I used to be...

"Kyosuke?"

"It seems we need to keep an eye on the situation at sea these days."

When Kagura asked him again, Kyosuke Kousaka continued talking about what had happened.

Kagura continued, "Perhaps we could ask Princess Goldfish; we haven't seen her much lately."

"If you want to become the next Lord of Arakawa, then you will naturally need more training."

"You can tell Princess Goldfish."

"How could that be? You're so malicious."

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled and began casting a spell to remove the moisture from the boxes.

He didn't care about silk or anything like that at all.

In short, let's keep it for now and see if it will find an owner in the future.

Hearing a faint whisper of conversation, Kyosuke Kousaka knew without a doubt that Kagura was explaining the situation of Princess Goldfish to Kotobuki.

Speaking of Princess Goldfish, he couldn't help but think of Princess Kaguya, who maintained order in the Moon Palace.

I really want to visit Princess Kaguya, but never mind, I'll wait until Princess Goldfish comes to him first.

It would be a shame to miss out on so much fun if Princess Goldfish wasn't brought along to visit Princess Kaguya.

The group returned to the manor.

Kyosuke Kosaka went straight back to his room and began to forge a special musical instrument by himself.

Using Yin-Yang techniques, which also include methods for creating magical artifacts, he aims to create a spiritual weapon that its wielder can use with ease.

By imbuing the instrument with a touch of spirit, the instrument and the user's spirit can resonate more easily, resulting in a more powerful musical experience.

the other side.

While patrolling outside the manor, Yamausagi and Yingcao encountered Kingyo-hime, whom they hadn't seen for quite some time.

They greeted each other.

"Princess Goldfish, you look quite impressive." Mountain Rabbit exclaimed with admiration.

Princess Goldfish sighed, "My imposing manner is all due to anger."

"Could it be... Mr. Kyosuke?"

"What? What does it have to do with him? You're the one thinking about Kyosuke, aren't you?"

Princess Goldfish looked at Mountain Rabbit with a strange expression.

She hadn't seen Kyosuke Kousaka for a while, so how could she possibly be angry with him?

To be honest, she still misses Kyosuke Kousaka, who often sends her letters.

Of course, Princess Goldfish would never reveal such a thing.

She felt that this would make Kyosuke Kousaka too smug.

The mountain rabbit maintained a generally composed expression, except that its white rabbit ears were slightly tilted: "Mr. Kyosuke, as my master, and as a shikigami, I think... it shouldn't matter."

Upon seeing this, Yingcao quickly added, "Yes, I'm thinking about Lord Kyosuke too!"

"Then let's go find Kyosuke. You two shouldn't just talk the talk," Princess Goldfish said, pouting.

Yamausagi's heart raced, and for some reason, she thought of the "advice" that Tsukuyomi had given her, and then she inadvertently thought of the time when Kousaka Kyosuke drank her... For a moment, her whole mind was a complete mess.

Yingcao seemed to have noticed some clues about the mountain rabbit, and hurriedly asked the goldfish princess about the cause.

"Princess Goldfish, um... why are you angry?"

"It's really baffling. About half a day ago, I was patrolling the Haihe River when I encountered a group of people dressed more like they were from the Tang Dynasty. Some of them tried to attack me, and just as I was about to fight back, some of them stopped me. Then we started arguing. It was a chaotic scene, and I was really angry."

"Why...why did they attack you, Princess Goldfish, for no reason?"

"I didn't do anything bad."

"No, that's not what I meant," Yingcao replied hastily, the huge dandelion she was clutching swaying back and forth.

Yamausagi rolled her eyes at Kingyo-hime.

"Stop teasing Yingcao, just tell me the reason."

"It makes me so angry just thinking about it! Some of them say that monsters are cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel, and they even talk about how we shouldn't exterminate them all, about the dangers facing humanity and the suffering of countless lives, all while speaking in such a flowery and pedantic way..."

Princess Goldfish kept babbling on and on, her fists clenched tightly as if she were about to throw a punch.

Even Yamausagi, who was listening, couldn't help but clench her fists just like Princess Goldfish.

Yingcao looked at the two of them with a worried expression. "If this continues... if this continues, things will get really bad!"

"Unexpectedly," Yamausagi said, rubbing her hands together in anticipation after hearing what Princess Goldfish had to say. "I never imagined that people in this world could be so prejudiced."

Suddenly, another calm female voice rang out.

"In fact, most Onmyoji used to have this attitude towards all yokai. It was only after a great fire that some Onmyoji began to change their mindset."

"Lady Demon Blade! Lady White Wolf!"

Yingcao looked with delight at the approaching Yaodaoji and Bailang.

Princess Goldfish secretly grumbled to herself, "Why were you all hiding and eavesdropping just now?" while saying aloud, "A big fire? You mean that New Year's Eve?"

White Wolf sighed softly, "There's no need to say more about this matter."

"That's true." Princess Goldfish nodded, looking regretful.

She was also aware of the secret behind the legendary great demon's madness and revenge after losing her children.

"Take your time to organize your thoughts. For example, what are their specific characteristics, such as what clothes they wear, what accessories they carry, and what weapons they have?" Yaodaoji said again.

Princess Goldfish agreed, "Yes, this is something we really need to report to Kyosuke. If these Tang people start killing innocent monsters indiscriminately, wouldn't that cause a riot?"

At this moment, the evil god Yamata no Orochi was about to make his move, and they couldn't let these strange outsiders cause trouble.

What were their characteristics? I remember those who were shouting and yelling at her were dressed in gorgeous blue and white clothes, while those who tried to stop her seemed to be dressed like ordinary civilians...

396. Inquiry/Sect Members?/The Han Clan from Another Country

"Oh? You're from Tang Dynasty?"

After hearing the Goldfish Princess's explanation, Kyosuke Kousaka, overwhelmed with surprise, made no attempt to hide his curiosity.

He has been very curious about the other side of the continent ever since he transmigrated.

Now, finally, living natives of the Tang Kingdom have arrived!

Although we don’t know whether the Tang Dynasty was actually destroyed or whether the people who came were really Tang people, let’s just assume they were for now!

"Kyosuke, you really like Tang Dynasty people?" Princess Goldfish asked, pouting.

She was almost bullied, why don't people care about her?

"Just out of curiosity. However, I feel obligated to teach those Tang people about their aversion to monsters."

"There's no need for that..."

"It's not just about this relationship; it also includes the crime of transgression, although such a crime has hardly been committed for many years."

Kyosuke Kousaka said with a strange feeling.

Princess Goldfish asked in confusion, "Why? Why has no one ever committed this crime?"

Suddenly, Yaodao-hime spoke up to explain:

“I have heard that our country’s ships are blessed by the gods and can travel safely to and from other countries. However, if foreign ships come to our country, they will almost certainly die. Therefore, in recent years, foreigners who have been able to come to our country have all come on our country’s official ships. Because of this, it is impossible for them to commit the crime of overstepping their bounds.”

Kagura said, "I think we must have some divine protection. Gods like Lord Ara and Lord Miketsu love humans so much."

When Princess Goldfish heard Kagura mention Ara, her brows furrowed slightly, moving subtly like a mysterious wave.
