Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"I was too busy at the time, so what exactly happened?"

“During the floods a year ago, I organized a competition for the refugees where ‘whoever did the most work would be rewarded with food,’ so…”

"To die for food."

Gui Shi Hei sighed, "I understand."

Suddenly he sensed something was wrong: "They all died from exhaustion, and they even get a reward for dying from exhaustion?"

"Regarding those who died from exhaustion, I sent someone to deliver some food to their families, and also instructed my men to take care of their families."

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder, you're a pretty good person."

"I feel really uncomfortable being praised for this kind of thing, so should we end the conversation?"

"Ha ha……"

Gui Shi Hei chuckled dryly and didn't ask any further questions.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head secretly.

He genuinely felt uncomfortable that capitalists' actions were being praised.

Although it ranks among the worst in this world where everyone is competing to be the worst.

“Even if they died, they should have left in peace,” Kagura suddenly said.

Kyosuke Kousaka knew that Kagura was trying to comfort him.

He really wanted to say, "I won't be sad for people who are unrelated to me."

Given that it would be contrary to his good image.

To shut up.

Su Chang hurriedly added, "Lord Kyosuke, if their families can live well, they will die with a smile on their faces."

Kousaka Kyosuke's eyelids twitched as he listened, and he poked Su Chang's head with his finger.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Then Gui Shi Hei said, "Most of them did leave with smiles. I suddenly remembered—some of them were grateful to have enough to eat and felt very happy..."

Kyosuke Kosaka rubbed his temples. "Please let my wife comfort me."

It's clear that Gui Shi Hei is just a chatterbox.

They still don't know how to read the room.

Can't you see he's being comforted by his wife right now? Shouldn't he just move aside?

"Oh! I almost forgot! I heard from the monsters that you're with many female monsters? Is that true?"

It's best not to believe too much gossip.

Kyosuke Kosaka's gaze involuntarily drifted toward the silent judge.

Did you see that?

Did you hear that?

Are they really not going to do anything about it?

"Ghost Messenger Black! As a Ghost Messenger, don't listen to baseless rumors! They will only tarnish the honor of a Ghost Messenger!"

The judge, much like a responsible manager, seriously criticized the Black Demon.

It was probably only when dealing with her superior, Enma, that her attitude changed.

Regardless, the talkative Ghostly Black was so engrossed in his speech that he seemed to be teetering on the edge of his seat, completely lost in thought.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yama-kaze finally emerged from the Enma Palace, and Kousaka Kyosuke stepped forward to inquire.

Then he learned that Yama-kaze was planning to go back to Shichikaku-yama first and not look for Kaoru for the time being, which surprised him greatly.

"How come Enma can keep Yamakaze from getting anxious? Is something going on?"

Forget it, I'm too lazy to dwell on it.

He won't hesitate to help if needed.

The future requires the presence of mountain winds, so we must not allow anything to happen to them.

Similar to Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

They are all excellent tools for maintaining stability.

How could there be casualties?

But since everything was alright, Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura and Susou and left the underworld.

Secretly, he lamented that he was ultimately not Seimei and had not earned Enma's "special treatment".

This is good!

"Would you mind if we went to see the spider lilies and Qing Ji?"

"Great! I've been wanting to come and see for a long time!"

Su Chang said with great interest.

Secretly, she was overjoyed; she had a feeling that she could be happy without even having to stay up all night!

Kagura, however, said to Kousaka Kyosuke, "Kyosuke, I'm a little hungry. Could I have a rice ball?"

"Oh, would you like some Su Chang?"

"Okay! Give me one!"

So Kagura and Susou started eating, and Kousaka Kyosuke used magic to carry them.

Kagura, quietly eating her rice ball, thought to herself, "I didn't eat much this morning, so I need to eat a full meal now to have the energy later..."

276. Cause and Process / Underworld Attitude / Related to Obsession / Dark Red Figure

We arrived at the familiar banks of the River Styx.

Aohime, who had already sensed Kousaka Kyosuke's presence, quickly approached.

"Kyosuke! Kagura~ Sushou~"

"Hi~ Qingji."

"Qing Ji".

Upon meeting, Qingji happily reunited with Kagura and Sushang.

Having just received a brief smile from Aohime, Kousaka Kyosuke seemed to have become an unrelated bystander.

Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.

Walk leisurely forward.

Kyosuke Kousaka saw the spider lily lying there as always.

"Hi~ Kyosuke~"

The red spider lily mimicked Su Chang's tone, displaying an enthusiastic demeanor.

It felt very incongruous.

Is this definitely not a prank?

Kyosuke Kosaka hesitated, almost too afraid to move forward.

Fortunately, I know that the other shore flower is usually used to tease and ridicule him.

It's really not a big deal.

"I just came from the underworld," Kousaka Kyosuke said, taking the initiative to speak.

"Is the ruler of the underworld beautiful?"

"Not as pretty as you, honestly."

"So you're saying you'll ignore me because I'm not pretty?"

"No, we have feelings for each other now. Even if you become ugly, I won't mind. But I will still try my best to find a way to restore you to your former appearance."

"That's a very frank statement, but it's not the kind of thing to hear."

The red spider lily clicked its tongue, resuming its usual spiritual lashing.

Kyosuke Kosaka allowed the spider lily to tease him.

He's definitely going to win!

Before Kyosuke could continue speaking, Higanbana smiled and waved in a direction quite far away.

Seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka felt at ease.

"The Crystal Palace is as solid as a rock!"

An hour later.
