Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"At least show some trust in this matter..."

Kousaka Kyosuke sighed, then laboriously reached out his hand to Enmusubi, before turning to look at Higanbana and Aohime.

After noticing this, the two also walked up to the God of Fate.

"We've formed a bond!"

"Let Lord Enmusubi witness all of this."

"Then, I will bless your marriage!"

The Goddess of Fate clasped her hands together, and red threads emerged from between her hands and quickly wrapped around the hands of Kyosuke Kousaka, Higanbana, and Aohime.

Kyosuke Kousaka instantly felt the divine power eroding him slowly flowing down to Enmusubi along the red thread.

The god of marriage seems to possess divine power, and despite his impoverished appearance, he exudes a rare sense of holiness.

"You have met, gotten to know each other, and pledged your love to each other... your marriage is now destined!"

The God of Fate closes his eyes and recites a phrase.

After the red lines suddenly emitted a light, they gradually faded and began to disappear.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

Feeling that about a third of his divine power had disappeared, Kyosuke Kousaka felt much more relaxed.

Just as he was about to say something more, he frowned.

"The siren is here again. Wait a moment while I thank Lord Fate God. I'll go and meet the enemy first."

"I'm going too!"

"Hehe, add me in."

"I'll take Kagura first, you guys stay with the main group..."

As he spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke swiftly grabbed Kagura and moved towards the edge of the Arakawa River at an extremely fast speed.

He thought to himself, "Is this never going to end? They're not even taking a single day off! They're going to use all of this to make floral foam!"

They quickly arrived at the edge of the Arakawa River.

Kyosuke Kosaka saw that the Onmyoji on duty on the shore were setting up a powerful defensive barrier.

In the sky, there floated a hideous, enormous ghost ship.

On the Arakawa River, there are countless, densely packed sea monsters.

Kyosuke Kosaka's gaze was mainly fixed on Ōtakemaru, who was standing at the bow of the ghost ship.

As always, Ōtakemaru, with his horns on his head, wore an arrogant smile.

The magatama weapon he held was perched on his shoulder, making him appear even more unrestrained and carefree.

"..." Kosaka Kyousuke was silent.

He was speechless.

Can we go somewhere else?

He had to protect both his own estate and the Ara River of the Water Tribe.

There is absolutely no way we can back down.

If Ōtakemaru really holds me back while the sea monsters fight, then I will suffer heavy losses.

"Ōtakemaru's purpose in attacking this place was twofold: firstly, to delay Kyoto's main force, and secondly, to perform a blood sacrifice, initiating a massive ritual to absorb all of Kyoto's spiritual energy..."

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered, trying to figure out what Ootakemaru's purpose was this time.

Do they want to continue drawing troops from Kyoto?

Or is it that the number of blood sacrifices is insufficient?

"start!"

A cold, commanding voice suddenly rang out in the sky.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was waiting for things to change, immediately sensed something was wrong.

As Ōtakemaru issued the order, the sea monsters unleashed their demonic power simultaneously.

The rolling waves rose high from the Arakawa River and crashed inland!

"Kagura, you should take care of yourself too."

Kousaka Kyosuke quickly said something and rushed towards the waves.

He had to stop this disaster, which was no different from a tsunami, but his defenses were quite weak when he did so, so he needed Kagura's protection.

After all, there's not much that can withstand Ōtakemaru right now.

It will still take some time for Su Yi Su Chang, Yao Dao Ji, and the others to arrive.

With a thought, Kousaka Kyosuke transformed into flames to fight against the endless waves.

Hidden in the waves are sea monsters that are almost impossible to see.

If it were a battle against an army, Kyosuke Kousaka was certain that no matter how brave and skilled the army was, they would be no match for these sea monsters.

boom!

Boom! !

The raging waves, mixed with terrifying demonic power and shockwaves, surged toward the shore.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who evaporated most of the waves and incidentally burned the sea monster, only hoped that the Onmyoji on the shore could lend a hand.

Kagura had to protect him while also protecting herself, so she didn't have much energy left to help much.

Just as he was thinking this, Kousaka Kyosuke felt a terrifying gaze lock onto him.

In mid-air, a hidden, sharp aura flashed by.

However, it was quickly and silently neutralized.

"..."

Ōtakemaru squinted at Kagura, who was almost unaffected by the waves.

Kagura stared at Ōtakemaru with a blank expression, making no move.

The spiritual energy emanating from his body caused ripples and distortions to appear in the space around him.

laugh!

Ōtakemaru smiled, too lazy to probe any further.

They simply remained completely still.

Until, when the estimate was about right, they gathered everyone and left.

The group of people in plain clothes and simple attire who had just arrived were once again disappointed, and could only watch the ghost ship sail into the misty sky.

The sirens turned and left without hesitation.

"It's happening again... What are they trying to do?" Su Chang complained.

It took less than fifteen minutes to quickly arrive with his men, only to see the enemy turning away again.

This is the second time.

"They seem to have their own agenda; it might just be a feint."

Yaodao-hime solemnly expressed her opinion.

When it comes to matters of battle, Yaodao-hime always has her own opinions.

Having frequently experienced various battles and accepted various missions with the Genji, she was very perceptive about combat.

“That’s probably the case,” Kousaka Kyosuke smiled, “but all we need to do is guard this place.”

The spider lilies that followed also smiled.

"The strategy of sticking to one corner has been seen through, but they still come over. They know you will come over immediately, but they still do it. It's really a very boring thing."

Kyosuke Kosaka was at a loss when he heard this.

"We can't exactly launch a counterattack, can we? Our only fighting strategy is defense."

attack?

He had considered this method.

The problem is that the main operational strategy here still needs to be reported to Kyoto.

Kousaka Kyosuke understood the Kyoto nobles all too well!

How could a group of people who love romance and don't care about anything else possibly let someone go out of their way to cause trouble?

If Kyosuke Kosaka really insists on attacking, the situation with the Taoist priest can be resolved.

But what happens after that's resolved?
