Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

This could very well lead to a major loss on the battlefield.

Therefore, after Kousaka Kyosuke met Yotohime for some time, Yotohime's demon horns never appeared again.

Yes!

Kyosuke Kousaka used his charm to completely dispel the demon princess's anxiety.

Nowadays, Yaodao-hime retains most of her samurai style, but in private she is just like any other woman.

At least when they first met the Demon Blade Princess, the mixture of shock and anger was quite evident...

Occasionally, Kyosuke Kousaka would overhear Yoto Hime muttering that she was going to talk to Tamamo-no-Mae.

Let's get back to the main topic.

At this moment, it seems that Kyosuke Kousaka has to face the girl in the box's power surge and awakening.

But it doesn't matter. He raised his hand and gently poked the girl's forehead in the box.

Mysterious runes suddenly appeared on the skin of the girl in the box, crawling around like tadpoles.

In an instant, the girl's hair, which was about to turn pink, returned to its silver color.

"Want it? Give me back what you got yesterday and I'll give it to you."

Kyosuke Kosaka patiently continued.

To be honest, I really wanted to seal the girl in the box away.

"I need to compare them."

"Then I'll let you go. Don't do anything reckless, or you'll regret it."

"Give me the gem first."

"It's called amber."

Kyosuke Kousaka finally freed the girl from the box and handed her the amber he held in his hand.

"Amber...it's similar to the yellow stones I've seen before, but its color is cleaner and clearer~"

"Perhaps it's the same thing, but the one at sea is more beautiful."

I am indeed quite tired.

Kyosuke Kosaka then engaged in a brief conversation with the girl in the box.

Ultimately, the thoughts and values ​​of humans and monsters are very different.

So it wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to learn something.

"The independent and solitary yokai are similar to the yokai in 'Natsume's Book of Friends.' They don't understand any logic. After all, they have no one to communicate with and have never interacted with other beings, so naturally they don't understand any logic."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought in his mind.

Speaking of this, he thought of the yokai in the suburban markets and the yokai in Kyoto who lived among humans while hiding their identities... These beings understood human nature quite well and even knew how to cleverly utilize the rules set by humans.

They might be called monsters, but they're actually not much different from humans anymore.

On the contrary, it's the girl in the box type.

They are definitely the type that are difficult to communicate with.

"Is this the thing? Then let's trade it for amber."

The girl in the box suddenly reached her hand towards the large box next to her.

The large box silently opened its lid like an animal opening its mouth, revealing dark objects the size of glass beads emerging from the pitch-black space.

Upon closer inspection, one can see unknown runes flashing within.

Just as Minamoto no Hiromasa described.

These should be the key materials for creating the Demon Soldier Corps.

Kyosuke Kosaka speculated that this was a crucial "core" similar to a machine chip.

Thankfully, the girl in the box was still able to steal it.

"Any more?"

"Gone."

The girl in the box answered cheerfully.

His gaze lingered only on the amber in his hand, as if he had no interest in anything around him.

Kyosuke Kosaka found this scene rather strange.

"The height proportions in the game are quite different from those in reality... The girl in the box in front of me seems to be only about 1 meter tall, much shorter than Kagura, and can definitely be described as 'petite'."

Just like what we see right now.

The girl in the box seemed to be struggling to hold the fist-sized piece of amber.

A small person carrying a large rock always gives the impression of being petite and frail.

Actually not.

Ultimately, the girl in the box possessed considerable demonic power, making her a formidable yokai capable of causing trouble for most onmyoji.

Not to mention the powerful boost brought by her own special abilities.

At this point, we must mention what Kousaka Kyosuke gradually discovered.

Those are the seemingly ordinary shikigami in the game "Onmyoji," even if they are only R-rank, they would be excellent in the real world.

Because most monsters can only fight using physical strength and demonic power in a very simple way, they do not have special abilities.

Unlike the shikigami in these games.

Each skill, when applied to reality, represents its own unique power.

When used in the right context, it works quite well.

I remember it was in the original story, in the plot related to the fox spirit whose head was cut off by Kousaka Kyosuke.

Seimei refrained from completely physically defeating the fox spirit for the time being because of its abilities.

This is because Seimei believed that the fox spirit might be of help to him in the future.

It's a classic case of "profit above all else".

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless.

Therefore, he studied the fox demon's corpse and found that the "qi" in the corpse was indeed very remarkable.

Therefore, I can understand Seimei a little better now.

But those who deserve to be killed still must be killed.

If Seimei were by his side, he would still stick to this principle.

Ultimately, having the ability is not a reason to let someone off the hook.

Unless you have the ability to influence important events.

That's why we won't kill them for now.

In contrast.

The girl in the box who secretly steals things appears "pure" in comparison.

Of course, things can't be calculated that way.

Kyosuke Kosaka still spent some time verbally reprimanding the girl in the box.

Although she didn't seem to be listening at all... Oh well, whatever, I'll seal her away if she makes the same mistake again next time!

Ultimately, what the girl in the box did was still within Kyosuke Kousaka's bottom line.

Let's enforce the law flexibly then.

"Should we go check out Menreiki?" Kagura suggested after parting ways with the girl in the box.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "You go ahead first. I'll go to the Outer Guard Office to return the things to Yorihira."

Kagura nodded slightly: "Okay."

They then split up to carry out their respective actions.

Kagura went to Menreiki's residence and was then invited inside by the cheerful Menreiki.

The two drank tea and ate snacks, and soon began to chat.

Kagura also mentioned the girl in the box, but Menreiki wasn't interested in her. Instead, she took a moment to look directly into Kagura's eyes and ask, "Kagura, how did you feel about being with Kyosuke?"

Kagura blinked: "We're not together yet. I'm still young. Kyosuke said it will have to wait a few more years."

"No...isn't that what married couples do?"

Menreiki rarely showed a surprised expression.

Kagura continued, "Kyosuke's pillar is bigger, so I'll get used to it when I'm a bit older."

Menreiki said thoughtfully, "That's true, it would be better if her body grew a little bigger."
