Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 902

"Good morning, both of you."

The red spider lily looked at Kyosuke Kosaka and Kagura with a smile.

Kyosuke Kousaka reached out and patted Aohime's head, then nodded to Higanbana, feeling a strong sense of unease.

I remember very clearly the heart-stirring scene of the red spider lilies yesterday.

He almost got an erection again.

"Well then, without further ado, I'll be leaving with Aohime," Kousaka Kyosuke said to Higanbana.

As he spoke, he handed a letter to the red spider lily.

Since I couldn't be there for you, sending a love letter would be more appropriate.

Even though I realized after each letter that the content was incredibly awkward, that was pretty much what I was thinking, so I just wrote it that way.

"Walk slowly."

Higanbana replied, naturally accepting the love letter, and then smiled at Aohime and Kagura.

Qingji, who was initially happy, covered her mouth.

Look how smug this woman is.

It's ok.

Anyway, she's the most useful one~

Ignoring Aohime's distracting thoughts, Kousaka Kyosuke took her and Kagura back to the mortal realm.

Upon arriving at the shrine, Kyosuke Kosaka introduced Aohime to the goddess Oitsuki.

"...You're a monster too?"

Before they could even exchange pleasantries, the Moon Goddess looked at Qing Ji with an indescribable expression.

Although it was very secretive, Kyosuke Kosaka still managed to notice it.

When asked, Qing Ji looked puzzled: "Yes, is there a problem?"

The Moon Chaser tried to suppress his strange excitement and asked, "May I ask what kind of monster it is..."

"A snake demon, but I'm not cold at all, I'm warm~"

Qingji patted her fair and rosy cheeks and introduced herself with a confident expression.

Kousaka Kyosuke watched as the tail and ears of the Moon Chaser slowly stood up a little, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He seems to have done something wrong.

Snake and rabbit?

Something is definitely not right.

"So that's how it is... I'm a rabbit, nice to meet you."

"Mmm, don't worry, I never eat rabbit~"

"……Eh?!"

The Moon God stared wide-eyed.

Qingji quickly explained, "I really don't eat that. I only eat pork, venison, and the like."

The somewhat nervous Moon Chaser secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's not what I meant."

Kyosuke Kosaka muttered to himself, "That's what you mean, isn't it?"

Of course, no matter what, he still has his faults.

We should at least discuss it with the Moon Chaser beforehand.

The die is cast, and all we can do now is try to work things out.

"what--"

There was a sudden noise outside.

As if realizing something, Zhuiyue quickly teleported outside, saying, "Excuse me for a moment."

Kyosuke Kousaka glanced outside and immediately realized that the sound was coming from a purple-haired girl.

The purple-haired girl frantically held the baby in her arms, looking completely dazed.

Fortunately, with the arrival of the Moon Chaser, the lifeless infant was temporarily saved.

"There was a problem with the baby outside, but Zhuiyue has taken care of it."

Kyosuke Kosaka explained it to Kagura and Aohime concisely.

Kagura blinked: "Is there a problem?"

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "There's definitely no problem with Oitsuki being here. Trust her."

"Ah."

Qingji, on the other hand, was somewhat eager to go: "I want to go and see those children."

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed.

"Ask Zhuiyue, but remember to keep your presence hidden, because we came in silently."

"Oh!"

Following Kousaka Kyosuke's words, Aohime concealed her presence and jogged outside.

Kagura saw this and couldn't help but say, "Aohime really likes children."

"You don't like it?"

Kyosuke Kosaka patted Kagura's head and asked with a smile.

Kagura's fair cheeks flushed crimson as she looked at Kousaka Kyosuke: "You'll have to have one with me someday, okay?"

"Of course."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who faintly heard the sound of gunfire, responded with a smile, though he was secretly quite ashamed.

How come Kagura has become as daring as Komachi?

What went wrong?

Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't quite understand.

After bidding farewell to the Moon Goddess and Aohime, Kousaka Kyosuke, who was leaving the shrine with Kagura, felt a breeze that seemed to carry life, and suddenly understood something.

Spring is here.

Chenshi.

As the sun rises, its warm rays bathe Kyoto, and the surroundings are as bustling as ever.

Just as no one knew that the siren was about to invade.

In fact, most people don't know this.

To avoid public panic, this matter was naturally not mentioned.

Even the prices of grain and salt in the market remained very stable.

Kyosuke Kosaka had to admire how well the Taoist priest had done in this regard.

Otherwise, if the common people of Kyoto descend into chaos, and news of the siren's arrival spreads, it's possible that order will collapse entirely.

Maintaining it will be a real headache when the time comes.

"The protective barriers around Kyoto's four gates and eight directions should be completed soon. Once this barrier is formed around the entire city, the extent of damage will be greatly reduced..."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

How can there be no destruction in war?

At most, we can only try to minimize the losses.

That's how it is right now.

As for anything else? That's probably all.

Ultimately, Kyoto had made all the necessary preparations before the Battle of Mount Oe.

Kyosuke Kosaka could only put on a show.

After a brief inspection of the official residence, he returned to continue spending time with his other spouses.

What else can we do? Busy doing nothing is pointless.

They returned to their sleeping quarters.

Kyosuke Kosaka saw a small patch of the courtyard where tender vegetables were drying in the sun.

Chitanda, Shizuko and Yukino are busy.

Kyosuke Kosaka quietly walked over with Kagura.

Chitanda, with her keen senses, quickly heard footsteps. When she turned around, a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

"Lord Kyosuke, Lady Kagura, you're back."
