Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Just as I guessed, Lord Kyosuke has a magical eye."

Hayasaka Ai's secret passage.

She had already guessed this possibility when she occasionally entered the bedchamber.

The main reason is that the people living in the sleeping quarters and the buildings surrounding the sleeping quarters are all of very good character.

Especially Kyosuke Kousaka's partner.

Hayasaka Ai believes that the reason most of these partners come from modern times is because they are all kind.

One thing is certain—there wasn't a single bad person among them!

For this reason, Hayasaka Ai's life was very easy.

Even though she has to commute every day and sometimes even has to stay at the shrine, she still loves her current job.

Because no matter how you look at it, it's easier than before.

If only the young lady could come...

Thinking about all this, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but feel resentment towards Hikaru, the eldest son of the Shinomiya family, who had already died.

It was such a great start, but he ruined it like this. He deserves to commit seppuku.

Kei Shirogane, who works just like Ai Hayasaka, doesn't have as many thoughts.

She was focused on her work.

I feel very satisfied.

By the way.

At the cherry blossom viewing party a while ago, Shirogane Kei met his friend Moeha, as well as Moeha's two older sisters, Toyomi and Chika.

I find it quite unbelievable.

But most of all, I was happy.

Seeing my friend marry a good husband, how could I not offer my blessings?

"Fengshi, Qianhua, and Mengye, I wish you all happiness."

While wiping the table, Shirogane glanced at the lifelike statue of the Moon Chaser and silently prayed.

Unconsciously recalling his friend Moe's mischievous smile, Shirogane Kei paused for a moment.

Immediately, she shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Mengye is her best friend, what bad intentions could she possibly have?

Day 412 of crossing

There is only one day left before the ancestral worship ceremony.

Kyosuke Kosaka brought Kagura to the Prosecutor's Office to work and fill in any gaps in their work.

Even though I feel relieved, I still have to watch it.

In the ancestral worship ceremony, which is the weakest point in Kyoto's protective barrier, it would be somewhat questionable not to put on a show.

It's one thing to temporarily disregard the power of Yizhou.

Doing a good job on appearances in one's primary role is another matter entirely.

Kyosuke Kosaka at least intended to manage the internal affairs of the Prosecutor's Office so that he would still have some influence even if he left the office one day.

In this way, their relatives will not be easily purged later.

Even though that day is probably many years away, we can't not make plans in advance, can we?

"I really am a good man."

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but praise himself in his heart.

He used to only want to watch fireworks.

But now he is so responsible.

Shouldn't we praise this?

But since I'm still in the office, I have to maintain a serious demeanor.

Work finished.

Kyosuke Kosaka took Kagura on patrol, and only spoke when they reached a more secluded alley.

"Kagura, praise me."

"You're amazing, Kyosuke. I like you so much."

When Kagura heard what Kousaka Kyosuke said, she took half a step forward and hugged him, nuzzling him with her little head.

Just like a kitten.

Because of her petite figure, it was a little difficult for her head to be buried in Kousaka Kyosuke's chest.

If it were just a little bit higher, then we could have a classic scene from an idol drama.

But.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought it was great too, and happily hugged Kagura.

"I also really like Kagura."

"Mmm, I like it so much, I like it so much..."

Kagura's voice, which usually didn't express much emotion, became clear and cheerful.

This is what birds sing in the early morning.

What a wonderful world!

After that, in a good mood, Kyosuke Kousaka took Kagura to visit Menreiki, who was still staying at home, and then went to the outskirts to check on the situation.

Unexpectedly, this time they happened to run into Enmusubi and Kasumigaoka, who were out in the suburbs.

Besides them, there was also a man.

Who is it?

Isn't this Kidomaru who has been transformed by Menreiki's ideas?

"Ah, you've come at the right time! The siren seems to be attacking again! They're stirring!"

The God of Fate immediately began to speak.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said, "This is related to the banquet that Seimei held at Rashomon, because the current owner of Suzuka Mountain was also one of the invitees."

"Oh, so that's it..."

The God of Fate tilted his head as if he was thinking, and soon nodded to indicate that he understood.

Kasumigaoka added at the opportune moment: "Some sea monsters from the Sea Kingdom have been spotted by other monsters, and now everyone is afraid that they will make a comeback."

Kyosuke Kosaka responded, "It's not that bad. The current master of Suzuka Mountain is a magnanimous and heroic woman who won't allow her sirens to run amok."

There were some things he didn't say.

In the future battle against Yamata no Orochi, Suzuka Gozen, the master of Suzuka Mountain, and her subordinates can be considered an indispensable force.

It's not just about compensating Kyoto and other places; it also includes—revenge!

Yes, revenge.

Despite Suzuka Gozen's magnanimity, it doesn't mean she would have any tolerance for the Yamata no Orochi, who had manipulated her and her other clansmen like family.

If we really face each other, that big sword will be as ruthless as it can be!

Ultimately, this is a monster with rich emotions.

How could someone be in a good mood after so many of their people have been killed?

They're just better at controlling their temper.

"Damn it... That Ōtakemaru shouldn't think that committing suicide is the end of it. He's made such a mess of this territory. He should at least apologize to the innocent yokai and then live on to atone for his sins!"

The God of Fate began to mutter incoherently.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Let's respect his decision. Even if he dies, there's still Suzuka Gozen. He can't escape the matter of atonement."

"You really do hold a grudge..."

"Of course, many of my relatives on my side also died, so we can't just ignore it."

"Oh, then go ahead and make a fuss about it."

"Don't make me sound so petty. Let's skip this topic. Where are you headed?"

"Let's go back. I just helped a few couples get married at Kyoto Port, it's time to go back to the shrine and rest."

"The shrines over there are covered in a thick layer of dust."

Aren't you going to help?

"That's your business, isn't it? It's not my place to interfere."

"Hmph, I don't need you anymore—Kidomaru, you know what to do, right?"
