Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1150

Normally, he uses Kagura as a scanning radar.

Under normal circumstances, when Kagura is observing her surroundings, he is primarily responsible for protecting Kagura's safety.

The two arrived at the center of the resentment—under an ordinary big tree.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka soon noticed that the soil under the big tree had been disturbed.

"I'll observe."

Kousaka Kyosuke immediately said to Kagura.

Kagura, who had originally planned to use magic to see through things, gave a soft "hmm," feeling a warm glow in her heart.

"My will is not that weak..."

Despite thinking this, Kagura didn't say much.

She knew it.

This is Kyosuke Kousaka's concern for her; she should accept it.

If you receive care and attention from time to time, you can continue to enjoy that treatment.

Even though Kagura often wants to show her value, she doesn't want to refuse being cared for.

This can be described as a very cunning act.

She just hopes her husband and other companions can forgive her for this little bit of willfulness.

"They're twins. It seems it will take quite some time to get rid of their resentment."

Kyosuke Kousaka said to Kagura.

Kagura nodded: "I understand."

As she spoke, she observed her surroundings even more carefully, preparing to eliminate the resentment of the twin spirits as she prepared to help Kyosuke Kousaka.

—Yes, Kagura realized as soon as she arrived that it was the resentment of the twins' spirits that was causing the trouble.

Because she was born with the ability to see spirits, she can see the dead, talk to them, and even control them with just a little attention.

Naturally, Kagura does not manipulate the dead at will.

Generally, it refers to the use of psychic abilities to control the unconscious spirits of the dead in the world when needed.

"Go away!"

"Bad guy!"

Two voices came one after another.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had just begun to eliminate the resentment, was met with a strong backlash.

Kyosuke Kosaka showed no sign of stopping.

With such strong resentment, saying anything would be futile.

It would be better to dispel resentment first before carefully inquiring about the situation.

It's similar to the principle of not communicating with someone who is in an extreme emotional state.

When people are in extreme situations, everyone else's assessment of what they do is wrong.

Therefore, the act of dispelling resentment continued.

Then came all sorts of hysterical screams—

"Father, Mother, why did you abandon me and my sister?"

"We're still alive! Why were we buried in the ground?"

Why isn't my younger brother with us?!

"Father! Mother! Brother..."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who kept moving, probably guessed what had happened.

"Did they abandon their two daughters because of survival problems?"

Kousaka Kyosuke guessed.

Why bury them alive?

He didn't know why.

However, they reacted with harsh criticism.

Abandoning people isn't really a big deal; after all, some survival problems are indeed unsolvable.

But why the two sisters were buried alive is another question.

Could it have been intentional?

After all, while sorcery is rare in this country, it is not nonexistent.

Many spells have malicious prerequisites.

It's like the type of "cruel torture of an animal or even a person, resulting in their death, and filled with resentment".

This kind of incantation is popular among Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) in some places.

Despite its popularity, not many people will actually do the prerequisites for spellcasting.

Otherwise, they would be hunted down by all orthodox Onmyoji.

Even Zen Seimei, who appears to be a kind-hearted man and willing to be lenient towards yokai because they are useful, would not show mercy to onmyoji who use evil spells.

It's possible that even a newbie who likes to complain would tear it apart.

all in all.

Onmyoji who use human beings as materials to perform curses are destined to be hunted down.

But, would it be like this?

Because anyone who dares to act recklessly like this in the outskirts of Kyoto is probably either an idiot or a madman, right?

You should know that Kyoto is the place with the most Onmyoji in the whole country.

What's the difference between messing around here and throwing your life away?

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

"Ok."

Kagura, who had the same guess as Kousaka Kyosuke, responded and walked to the spot in front of the big tree.

Kyosuke Kousaka switched guard positions with Kagura.

He is very careful because he often imagines himself being ambushed.

He also reminded Kagura, who was by his side, and Su Yi and Su Chang, who often went out, to be careful.

Who knows just how despicable the enemy's methods are?

It's best to be cautious yourself.

A while passed.

Kagura, who had been silently communicating with the spirits of the twins, turned around.

"Kyosuke, Hana and Kusa want to experience what it feels like to be loved by their mother."

"So that's it."

Kyosuke Kosaka echoed, then looked expectantly at Kagura.

Kagura's maternal instincts are still very strong.

They also have very high social skills.

She can be described as an impeccable future mother.

Anyway, these twins are girls, and they don't look scary. Kagura also seems to want to help.

Then just bring it up yourself.

"But... I'm not a mother yet."

Kagura lowered her head and touched her flat stomach, a hopeful expression on her face.

Kyosuke Kosaka nearly broke out in a cold sweat. "If I made you a mother now, I don't know how many years I would be shot."

"Let's give it a try first."

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced casually at the two unidentified, misty objects in front of the tree, his mind filled with complex emotions.

The twin spirits were named Little Flower and Little Grass.

It's not unusual to choose a name arbitrarily.

However, its vitality is not as resilient as that of flowers and plants.

Is this really a good thing?

Sometimes, living is indeed a kind of suffering.

How much can Kyosuke Kousaka, who considers himself to have limited abilities, actually help?
