Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Compared to before.

Menreiki is clearly more thoughtful and meticulous.

very good~

"But I..."

"This is not something you can control, and besides, nothing has actually happened."

"Sorry……"

Zashiki-warashi still couldn't hide her apology.

At this moment, Kousaka Kyosuke, who had slowly come to his senses, also felt very embarrassed.

He was so happy that he completely ignored the feelings of the Zashiki-warashi.

Moreover, his first thought was actually his own interests?

—Kousuke Kousaka began to feel ashamed.

He wouldn't have acted this way if it were anyone else.

It can be different from the Zashiki-warashi.

This is a child with a pure and innocent personality.

"Here, have some candy before we talk."

Unable to think of a way to express his apology, Kousaka Kyosuke simply gave the Zashiki-warashi candy.

"No need—"

Unfortunately, the Zashiki-warashi was met with Kyosuke Kousaka's unsolicited act of stuffing candy into her mouth.

Her eyes widened, but it was too late for her to refuse.

Not only is Zashiki-warashi eating candy, but Menreiki is also eating candy.

Kyosuke Kousaka could never forget this partner.

Menreiki accepted it very naturally.

He even picked up the wooden stick in front of him with practiced ease and removed the candy stuck to the stick from his mouth.

Then she stuck out her pink tongue and licked the candy.

Oh ~

So that's how it's eaten!

The Zashiki-warashi, who was initially slightly bewildered by the sudden discovery of candy, began to learn Menreiki.

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke was speechless.

His emotions suddenly became complicated, and he couldn't help but look away, focusing on the mirror in his hand that was gradually losing its dazzling light.

But all I could see in my mind was Menreiki's seemingly indifferent yet affectionate and earnest face.

It's hard for him not to remember.

Every time he was on the verge of exploding, Menreiki calmly accepted everything with a composed expression...

"Is Kyosuke alright?"

Menreiki started asking questions again.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's nothing, it's just that I estimate the mirror will absorb the energy until around noon."

"Then...how about we tidy up this place a little?"

Menreiki looked around.

At this point, the group was still in a room that was almost entirely filled with dolls.

In fact, it's difficult for everyone to even take a few steps.

Because this place is occupied by dolls of different appearances.

Unless you are ruthless enough to step on these puppets, your actions will inevitably be hindered.

"Then I'll clean up the doll. I happen to know some magic for that."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Menreiki was surprised: "A spell to cleanse dolls?"

"Yes, I just came up with it randomly."

"Lord Kyosuke is truly remarkable."

Zashiki-warashi immediately praised it without hesitation.

Kousaka Kyosuke estimated that he had already racked up a huge amount of goodwill right from the start.

"Wait, why would I want to max out a little girl's affections?"

Is it enough to build a reasonably good relationship?

Kousaka Kyosuke immediately snapped out of his reverie and stopped overthinking.

"Shall we start dividing the work then?"

Kousaka Kyosuke said again.

"Okay."×2

Menreiki and Zashiki-warashi both answered.

And so, Kyosuke Kousaka began cleaning each of the dolls.

As for why the dolls were cleaned up?

This is actually very necessary.

Ultimately, each and every puppet is a lifelike work of art that pleases the eye.

Therefore, it is necessary to restore them to their original pristine condition.

"It seems there's a special protective magic array set up here... no wonder it hasn't decayed after all these years."

During the sorting process, Menreiki shared her discovery.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said, "Yes, that's why we should treat these dolls, which are considered treasures, with the utmost care."

Upon hearing this, the Zashiki-warashi looked completely bewildered.

"Yes, if someone else's treasured possession is treated too casually, the original owner will definitely be very sad..."

"No, you should think of it this way. If you treat the treasures that the original owner cherished with the same care, the original owner will surely be very happy."

Kyosuke Kosaka casually changed the way he put it.

"Lord Kyosuke, you're right!" Zashiki-warashi nodded emphatically. "I was being too pessimistic."

"Yeah, be careful, don't always think the worst."

"Yes, I understand!"

The Zashiki-warashi looked as if it had learned a lesson.

Kyosuke Kosaka was very pleased to see this.

Time flies, and it's noon.

It's time to eat.

Just then, the monster conceived in the mirror was about to emerge.

When the familiar, dazzling light shines again.

A blue-eyed girl with loose hair appeared in front of Kousaka Kyosuke.

"It's not a mirror spirit... but a spirit created through the connection of mirrors. It really is the same kind as Zashiki-warashi."

They keenly noticed that the monsters, upon birth, involuntarily absorbed some yin energy and bad luck.

Kyosuke Kosaka made his judgment immediately.

The mirror in her hand is still connected to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Strangely, this new monster is also connected to it.

It's a very strange situation.

However, we should be paying attention to other issues right now.

"I'll step aside for a moment."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had already closed his eyes, placed the mirror on the floor.

He also took out one of Kagura's outfits from his spatial storage and placed it on the floor.

—At this moment, the girl who had just appeared was not wearing any clothes.

So, of course, Kousaka Kyosuke had to prepare clothes for her and then avoid her.
