Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1004

Now, I'm struggling with how to write it. Writing something like "for the red spider lily" would probably land me in jail, wouldn't it?

No, he should be shot!

Speaking of which, going to the other side of the sea also requires a lot of effort every day to use paper cranes to let other partners know they are safe and sound, and to write letters to exchange feelings.

He really doesn't have a moment's rest.

Day 357 of crossing

Early in the morning, Kousaka Kyosuke bid farewell to his other companions in the mansion and took Kagura to Arakawa to meet with Princess Goldfish.

After they gathered, the three of them boarded a boat that had been prepared beforehand and headed to a more distant territory on the open sea.

Gazing at the rising sun, Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but wonder, "Will there be any unforeseen circumstances regarding the male mother who met Senhime ahead of schedule?"

Why don't we first look around to see if there are any substitute treasures?

The waters of the Sea of ​​Immortality are quite deep.

I remember that area was almost entirely populated by female warriors; it was definitely the heart of feminism...

254. Sea fishing / Sea of ​​Immortality / Male mother

A gentle sea breeze blows, and the sound of waves crashes against the shore.

Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura, and Princess Goldfish, all aboard a boat, were enjoying the scenery and fishing as they went.

The ship is a multi-story ship, but it is not a famous warship from the Warring States period; it is just an ordinary sightseeing ship.

The most eye-catching pavilion is a simple three-story building, used for enjoying the scenery.

It has no combat functionality.

If it really comes to a fight, why not just fly into the air and launch a devastating attack?

Why make such a mess of the ships?

As for how the ship was built?

In fact, Kyosuke Kosaka himself did not know how to do it, so he asked Suyi for help and obtained the warship blueprints, which he then built according to the blueprints.

Speaking of which, one has to admire how much the Qin family really knows.

The most famous example is that when Emperor Kanmu moved the capital and built Heian-kyo, the Qin family and other immigrants who had also become naturalized contributed a great deal of effort.

But this isn't exactly something worth telling others.

Naturally, not many people knew.

Even if they knew, they would probably pretend not to know, right?

Thinking about all this, Kyosuke Kosaka lamented the cruelty of politics.

Fortunately, the time it took for the Taoist priest to resolve the issue of Ichiju was long enough for Kousaka Kyosuke and the Taoist priest's other followers to maintain a harmonious relationship for the time being.

At least until the Taoist priest has completely consolidated his power, his vassals will begin to fight amongst themselves.

This is enough to ensure that Kyosuke Kosaka will not encounter much trouble in the political arena.

If there is any trouble, it must be related to Yi Zhou.

I wonder how things are going with Yi Zhou's fertilizer business. It's definitely impossible for him to replicate the Taoist priest's previous actions.

There's a high probability that you'll encounter a pre-set trap.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore; it's really upsetting.

Thinking of Ichiju reminded him of Sei Shonagon, with whom he had a connection, inevitably making Kousaka Kyosuke feel rather uneasy.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Sei Shonagon.

However, considering that frequent contact with Sei Shonagon would put her in a difficult position, she rarely contacted her.

On the contrary, Xiangzi and Fujishikibu occasionally contacted Sei Shonagon.

Kyosuke Kousaka didn't ask for details, as it involved privacy.

It's best not to pry into things that are like private conversations.

Respect and understanding.

That's the best way to get along.

Upon closer reflection, Kyosuke Kosaka realized that the women he liked did indeed have a relatively strong sense of self.

On the contrary, he has little interest in women who are too timid and submissive.

Especially from the outside in.

I remember that all the women in the outer quarters of the mansion are like this now, and the new ones are the same, which makes them quite easy to manage.

"Hey! I caught one!"

A surprised exclamation was followed by the sight of the goldfish princess fishing nearby, which brought Kousaka Kyosuke back to his senses.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw that Princess Goldfish had pulled the thing under her fishing rod out of the sea with a "whoosh!"

Immediately, a box caught Kousaka Kyosuke's eye.

"It's a box..."

Kagura's mouth was slightly open, and she rarely showed a surprised expression.

Perhaps Kagura thought it was a magical thing to fish a box out of the sea.

But that's really nothing.

Kyosuke Kosaka specially made a fishing rod for catching these spiritually powerful creatures.

"It's a treasure chest, but I wonder what treasures it contains."

"Could it be that I've caught a treasure that can bring people back to life?"

"If that's the case, how lucky would you be?"

Kyosuke Kosaka stared speechlessly at Princess Goldfish, who never even dared to dream of doing such a thing.

Princess Goldfish's mysteriously confident expression left Kyosuke Kousaka speechless.

While there are indeed many treasures in the ocean, finding them all at once is truly incredible.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't believe in such luck.

They placed their hopes more on the secrets of the Sea of ​​Immortality.

According to the storyline, the Mermaid Clan's treasure, the Mermaid's Tears, can be considered an excellent object for soul attachment, sufficient to serve as the physical body for the Lord of Arakawa.

It cannot be ruled out that the Merfolk's secret treasure trove may contain other treasures with the same function.

After all, this is a tribe that lives at the edge of the sea, so it's impossible that they haven't collected any treasures.

Even the Goldfish Princess was able to find the treasure to revive the Lord of Arakawa from the ocean, so why can't the Merfolk do the same?

He was very skeptical.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Princess Goldfish was still full of anticipation as she prepared to open the box.

"Wait a minute, it's best to take full precautions. If there's some kind of spell inside, we'll be in big trouble."

"That's true, you've thought things through very well."

"...You weren't careful enough, did you? Please use your brain."

Kyosuke Kosaka gently stroked Princess Goldfish's hair.

Princess Goldfish reluctantly pushed her little head upwards.

"Hate!"

Kyosuke Kosaka misheard this as "Urusai," which he found quite amusing.

He then set up a protective barrier and used his spiritual power to open the box remotely.

For a fleeting moment, a slightly bright light flashed into Kyosuke Kousaka's eyes.

"It's gold," Princess Goldfish said regretfully.

Kagura's brief comment: "A bit unexpected, yet not entirely unexpected idiot."

Having heard many stories from Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura wasn't particularly surprised that she had obtained gold during her sea adventure.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Being able to catch gold is already quite an achievement. There should also be some treasures rich in spiritual power inside. It would be good to take them out as tools for the future resurrection of the Lord of Arakawa."

Gold is one of the most valuable currencies of this era.

It is indispensable in foreign trade.

The same applies to this era.

You can never have too much.

"That's right..."

Princess Goldfish nodded, agreeing with what Kyosuke Kousaka said.
