To be honest, the reason he interrupted was that he didn't want to get involved in this complicated situation.
On the one hand, Suzuka Gozen, the current owner of Suzuka Mountain, has a rather complicated entanglement with him.
Ultimately, the invasion of Suzuka Mountain cannot be left unresolved so easily.
There will always be a little buffer period needed.
On the other hand, Kyosuke Kosaka understood that Senhime's mindset was completely "exploding" at that moment.
According to his understanding.
It's likely that Senhime was jealous that Suzuka Gozen was able to wield the Sea Shell Spear, because the responsibility of protecting the Sea of Immortality would inevitably fall on Suzuka Gozen's hands.
Even if Senhime were to go and protect her clan in the future, the other clan members would probably only be thinking about Suzuka Gozen.
This is truly a very sad thing.
Needless to say, Kousaka Kyosuke knew that Chihime had always wanted to possess the Sea Shell Spear and establish a contract with the tides since she was a child, and had made many efforts for this.
The results of it?
Suzuka Gozen gritted her teeth and took control of the treasure that Princess Senhime had always longed to obtain.
This would still cause an explosion if it were someone else.
Therefore, having learned the whole story and developed empathy, Kyosuke Kousaka had no desire to get involved in the two sisters' affairs.
"Suzuka Gozen herself is still quite rational; her thoughts and ideals were not swayed at all. As for Senhime... she's alright; at least she still prioritizes protecting the Sea of Immortality."
Considering all this, Kyosuke Kousaka still understood Senhime quite well.
Of course, he knew it was also wrong of Senhime to lose control of some of her emotions.
But everyone gets jealous. It's like when you were in school, you would always see someone who was usually carefree and didn't study hard but always got good grades. Any normal person would feel annoyed, right?
To avoid trouble, Kyosuke Kosaka always pretended to work hard, which made the others feel more at ease.
That reduces trouble and makes everyone happy.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Kyosuke Kosaka hoped that Senhime could control her emotions as much as possible.
Without realizing it, he glanced at Senhime.
Senhime seemed to have glanced over by chance as well, her cool face instantly flushing red, her gaze darting away, her head bowed tightly...
She seems too ashamed to be seen by anyone.
She showed none of the confrontational attitude she had displayed with Suzuka Gozen just moments before.
Kyosuke Kosaka's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say, "I'm not some monster."
He muttered to himself, but pretended not to see it.
In short, the team continued its advance.
Collect the tides scattered in various places.
The process was anything but interesting; it involved walking around, stopping frequently, identifying the tide positions, and collecting items!
If you encounter a dangerous creature, fight!
If you encounter a more dangerous freeze, stay away!
This cycle repeats itself...
As evening approached, the group rested at the merfolk's usual patrol post.
Kyosuke Kosaka took advantage of this break to write letters.
This is something he does almost every day.
no way.
You can't just ignore your partner who's already having an affair, can you?
Since she does indeed possess the ability to send letters using magic, she naturally has to do it.
It's a pity that I can't receive a reply; I can only send messages unilaterally.
It's okay, it's better than nothing!
[The shimmering blue waves and the roaring torrents—I still prefer the tranquil flow of the River Styx, listening to its ever-changing murmurs. I know it's the restless spirits yearning for a listener—and so do I. So please continue to be my listener today, and hear my longing for you.]
I miss your sweet, fragrant flowers. I still vividly remember the delicate and enchanting buds beneath the lush grass, the glistening dewdrops slowly trickling down the petals, and my heart was filled with...
Shashasha~
Kyosuke Kosaka carefully wrote the letter from the spider lily.
He has to be grateful that the other shore flower never teased him about his love letters, otherwise it would have been a bit of a disaster.
It can only be said that, to some extent, the red spider lily has a very good character.
When making fun of him, he never touched on the parts of his body that he felt ashamed.
Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore.
It's Qing Ji's turn.
Qingji, a girl he had molded to the point where she had no trace of a female demon, still needed to be carefully appeased.
[Qingji, it's time to write to you again. My heart is burning with uncontrollable passion, and my intense longing surges endlessly. Even if I were at sea, I would still be thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking of you...]
[In the Sea of Immortality, where the earth is frozen, I suddenly recall those winter days when our fingers were intertwined, warm and comforting. We walked together then, you full of enthusiasm, hoping that the forest could contain all my tenderness and wildness, while I wished to offer all my tenderness only to you.]
As for the so-called rudeness? If you like, feel free to unleash it. I still remember that girl who swaggered around me, so smug, her smile as bright as the sun, and who, in my eyes, was the sun herself…
Finished.
Carefully examine Qingji's letters.
Having found no problems, Kyosuke Kousaka continued writing about his other partners.
I need to finish writing quickly so everyone can receive their emails and go to sleep. It's almost time for bed, so I need to finish quickly.
Half an hour later.
Paper cranes drifted out of the Sea of Immortality.
Having expended a great deal of spiritual energy to deliver the message, Kousaka Kyosuke felt quite exhausted. He reached out to soothe Kagura, who was already asleep on his lap, and then rested himself...
The underworld, by the River Styx.
With a cheer, Qingji took the paper crane, carefully unfolded it, and read the letter inside.
Before long, her cheeks turned red, as if she were drunk, and she felt dizzy.
The spider lily lying on the flower bed maintains a comfortable reclining posture.
Seeing that the letter was still filled with a lot of content that bothered her, she could only smile helplessly.
"The Queen of the Sea of Immortality seems to have a problem. Suzuka Gozen is quite interesting, though. Since I met her, she's hardly had any free time. Her obvious weaknesses have been exploited until her death, and it's hard to say whether the god in the shadows will be interested..."
I flipped through the pages as I thought about it.
The red spider lily saw a series of photographs and a hand-drawn landscape painting before its gaze finally stopped wandering.
"They spend all their energy on strange things."
After murmuring something, the gaze of the spider lily remained fixed on the exquisite hand-painted landscape.
Suddenly, Qing Ji spoke up from not far away.
"Higanbana, I'm going to the shrine tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"
"No."
The red spider lily answered casually.
At this point, she no longer had much desire to seduce Qing Ji.
It's probably because it's too familiar, so there's nothing new about it.
Compared to a certain man who always likes to create novelty, Qing Ji is really boring.
For now, let's just treat her as a maid who takes care of the living quarters.
"Hey, you're such a loner. You should visit the mortal realm more often than the monotonous underworld."
"Since you like the mortal realm so much, why don't you just stay there?"
"...No, I've settled in here, so I shouldn't go over there and cause trouble for Kyosuke."
"hehe."
The red spider lily looked amused.
In an instant, he noticed the guilty conscience in Qing Ji's expression and words.
Why do I feel guilty?
The other shore flower vaguely guessed the reason, but she was not one to expose others' shortcomings, so naturally she wouldn't say it.
Qing Ji was indeed very guilty.
She had long realized that staying in the underworld would garner more attention from Kousaka Kyosuke, so she naturally didn't want to go to the mortal realm.
