Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Alright, I believe you. Kyosuke...sir, is there something you need from me?"

"Strange, why did I believe it completely?"

Menreiki asked curiously.

The child explained, "I've always heard the rumors about how Kyosuke-sama treats yokai in a unique way."

"Haha, I treat all friendly monsters equally."

Kyosuke Kosaka forced a natural smile.

"I'm so glad you have such magnanimity and open-mindedness. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am a Zashiki-warashi."

"So you really are a Zashiki-warashi. I was just about to remind you to be careful when you're out and about these days, because quite a few people have spotted you. You know what that means, don't you?"

“Yes, I will try my best to be careful. So, what is the reason you came here, Kyosuke-sama?”

"You should know that something's wrong here, right?"

Kyosuke Kousaka looked at the Zashiki-warashi with a serious expression.

He had a vague idea of ​​what might be going on.

"There's nothing wrong here! It's just that one of my kind is about to be born!"

The Zashiki-warashi became anxious.

Menreiki, however, said, "Using resentment to cultivate it? That would only create a demon."

"No! She's different! She's the same as me!"

"Anyway, let me take a look first. I will try my best to help you, at least I won't just start doing it without explanation."

"...Lord Kyosuke, I believe you are a gentle person."

"Don't praise me to the skies, it will hurt a lot when I fall."

"Then you just need to be a little gentler."

The Zashiki-warashi chuckled, its wariness diminishing considerably.

Seeing that Kyosuke Kosaka could joke with her so easily, she believed that Kyosuke Kosaka was a very gentle person.

Having chosen to believe, the Zashiki-warashi walked up to a certain doll and took something out from under the doll.

Kyosuke Kosaka's gaze lingered on the glittering object, somewhat stunned.

The situation, which seemed to be able to draw his consciousness in, aroused his curiosity.

He had a vague feeling that this was an item that could enhance his illusion magic...

"so beautiful."

Menreiki suddenly made a compliment.

A pair of blue eyes were filled with dazzling and fantastical intricate patterns.

The glittering object was a strange mirror that seemed to display various patterns depending on the viewing angle.

345. Ownership of the Mirror / Lotus / This monster is so strange

"What a beautiful mirror."

Menreiki then specifically named the object in the Zashiki-warashi's hand.

Kyosuke Kosaka found it rather strange.

Is this thing really a mirror?

In Kousaka Kyosuke's opinion, it's like the size and shape of a small mirror, and the mirrored appearance of a kaleidoscope.

That's roughly the gist of it.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka was more concerned about whether the mirror could help him improve his illusion magic skills.

Let's analyze this based on the current situation where it's impossible to further enhance our power.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes it's best to prioritize improving his illusion abilities.

Judging from the original storyline of "Onmyoji"

The probability of successfully using illusion magic on Yamata no Orochi once is not low.

If Indra can do it, why can't Kyosuke Kousaka?

So, let's try to understand what this is first.

It would be best if we could get it.

"The mirror has absorbed the spirit of the doll."

Kyosuke Kosaka briefly stated his thoughts.

The zashiki-warashi asked expectantly, "Then, Kyosuke-sama, can you see anything?"

"If you're hoping I'll help you accelerate the development of someone who considers themselves one of our kind, then you should give up on that idea."

"Is it not allowed...?"

"Speaking of which, what we're discussing now is whether this monster that will appear in the future will actually be an evil spirit?"

"Yes, I almost forgot. Please take a closer look."

The zashiki-warashi quickly handed the mirror to Kousaka Kyosuke.

She understood perfectly what kind of fate awaited a monster who was regarded as an evil spirit.

Therefore, she really hoped that Kyosuke Kousaka could give a specific evaluation to his future humanoid counterpart.

"Let me see."

As he spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke reached out to take it.

The moment he made contact, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

The mental energy was drawn out by a powerful suction force.

The mirror also emitted a dazzling and brilliant light in an instant.

"I am fine."

Kyosuke Kousaka immediately spoke up, reminding Menreiki not to be nervous.

To prevent the girl from experiencing excessive stress.

Yes, he had no doubt that if he had spoken even a moment later, the spirit energy would have directly destroyed the mirror.

In terms of power, Menreiki certainly possesses that real strength.

Objectively speaking...

Menreiki is a great demon.

Judging from the level of his demonic power, he should be considered one of the better great demons.

Furthermore, the power to manipulate souls and influence the spiritual realm is exceptionally rare and difficult to deal with.

Kyosuke Kosaka firmly believes that Menreiki is capable of fighting against the most powerful yokai.

However, he had no intention of asking Menreiki, who had no combat experience whatsoever, for help.

I wish it were like this.

"Are you alright?" Menreiki asked uncertainly.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled at her: "Yes, I'm fine. It's just that this mirror is absorbing my power right now."

"Has this mirror fallen in love with you?"

"No way, it's probably like an animal drinking water when it's thirsty and happens to find a spring, it's pretty much instinctive."

"Then how about a Zashiki-warashi..."

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! But I don't know what happened..."

The Zashiki-warashi cried out of unease and guilt.

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately raised his free hand and waved it.

"It's alright, it's none of your business. Maybe I'm just more attractive."

Despite saying that, Kousaka Kyosuke was overjoyed.

He was just wondering how to get the mirror when it was delivered right to his door.

Then there's no way.

"A significant amount of my spiritual power has been absorbed, and it also bears many traces of me. If this continues, it will probably become my complete bond..."

"Yes, it was because Kyosuke was attractive that I became her lover."

Menreiki simply patted Zashiki-warashi's head.

The Zashiki-warashi is shorter than her, so touching her head is a good idea.

But at this moment, Kyosuke Kousaka would rather praise Menreiki's thoughtfulness.
