Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 697

The full meaning of "Shadow of the False God" is "the shadow of a fake god," but in reality, it is the shadow of the Yamata no Orochi.

This shadow can not only create gods and monsters, but also, to some extent, obtain their power, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

In games, it's all about rushing to break through time; in the real world, it's about having a set deadline.

Reaching a certain deadline will likely be very difficult.

In short, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to hurry up and find someone—namely, a certain Kamo clan Onmyoji.

If the source is found, the matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

After Kousaka Kyosuke finished dealing with matters at the Oitsuki Shrine, he bid farewell to the others and took Kagura to search for information in the suburbs.

He ended up running into Minamoto no Hiromasa, who seemed to be looking for him.

"Finally found you, Kagura... um, and Kyosuke too."

"Could it be that there's news about something related to evil spirits?"

Kousaka Kyosuke asked Minamoto Boya.

Minamoto no Hiromasa said solemnly, "That's right, Seimei communicated with a certain evil spirit and finally found an important clue! That is, the evil spirit said that the Onmyoji who summoned them had a pattern of two-leaf hollyhock on their clothes."

"...Kamo clan."

"Yes, but the evil spirit has lost its mind and its words cannot be taken seriously, so we can only ask the Kamo clan first."

“Okay, I’ll go ask.” Kyosuke Kousaka said immediately.

The saying goes, "You can search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you effortlessly."

No need to make up excuses! Excellent!

"Shall we go?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked again.

Minamoto no Hiromasa was very unhappy to hear this: "Of course it's us. Seimei has other things to do."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself, "I think he just doesn't want to deal with his senior, right?"

To be honest, this is a very troublesome matter.

It was indeed very bad that Seimei got involved.

On the contrary, because of Fumino, he had a marriage relationship with the Kamo clan, so it didn't matter to him that he talked about these things.

Minamoto no Hiromasa shouldn't have gone, since he wasn't involved in politics and remained completely neutral, so he wouldn't have incurred any displeasure from the Kamo clan.

And so, Kousaka Kyosuke led Kagura and Minamoto no Hiromasa toward the Kamo clan.

In less than 15 minutes, they met with the head of the family, Kamo no Yasunori, and told him what had happened.

"...I will investigate this matter thoroughly immediately, and I will send someone to inform you if there is any news."

Upon hearing the news, Kamo no Yasunori paused noticeably for a moment, but still spoke quickly.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "The Yamata no Orochi might be involved, so we should be careful."

"I understand."

"Then let's say goodbye."

Kousaka Kyosuke bowed and then left with his men.

They barely exchanged a few words throughout the entire conversation, as this was a rather unpleasant scandal and it was not convenient to delve into it further.

Sensing that this was being too perfunctory, Minamoto no Hiromasa refrained from speaking.

He spoke as he left the Kamo family home.

"Isn't this something that needs to be resolved immediately? Shouldn't we just stay inside and wait for news?"

"Let's trust Lord Yasunori's abilities."

Kyosuke Kosaka said with a solemn expression.

There are some things that it's better to know as little as possible.

Upon hearing this, Minamoto no Hiromasa had no choice but to agree.

Kyosuke's younger sister, Kagura, was staring at him... He had no objections.

After that, the two parted ways.

Kousaka Kyosuke planned to conduct a brief survey of the situation within Kyoto, while Minamoto no Hiromasa intended to return to Seimei's residence in the suburbs.

"It seems there are still many troubles ahead," Kagura said.

"It's okay, even so, we still need to have a good first month of the lunar year."

Kyosuke Kousaka patted Kagura's head.

He has thought it through.

We'll continue living our lives as usual.

If you're always seeing ghosts in every cup and paranoid about everything, you won't be able to live a peaceful life.

So, around noon, Kousaka Kyosuke spent time with the five sisters as promised.

In the evening, she would have dinner, take a bath, and chat with her partners as usual.

As night fell, Kyosuke Kosaka slept peacefully.

He was planning to find the other shore flower and Qing Ji... no, he was going to find Qing Ji.

He has nothing to do with the red spider lily.

However, upon arriving at the dream of the red spider lily, Kyosuke Kousaka vaguely heard a low voice.

"Cough cough cough... I'll accept any price to get my sister back... Evil God! I will prepare everything for you—"

Kyosuke Kosaka immediately felt a toothache.

As if he had understood something, he instantly followed a certain force and moved to a certain place.

"what!"

A high-pitched, youthful female voice, filled with cheers and emotion, swept across the room.

Kyosuke Kousaka, whose appearance had changed in an instant and whose body shape had been subtly altered, took the hit squarely.

A soft, warm body embraced her tightly.

Kyosuke Kosaka did not resist, but simply comforted her, glancing around and noticing that there were several familiar faces this time.

—Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Yaobikuni, Kamo no Yasunori, Minamoto no Yorimitsu… What kind of main character lineup is this?

Kyousuke Kosaka has a delicate heart.

"Oh, we meet again." A charming voice rang in my ears.

Kyosuke Kosaka could clearly feel the unique fragrance of a woman entering his ears with his warm breath.

He turned his head and, sure enough, saw the smiling spider lily.

He felt a strange sense of unease, but could only manage a smile.

Since he gave Qingji as a gift to Biyanhua last time, Biyanhua's attitude towards him has become somewhat hostile.

Kyosuke Kousaka could only accept it.

To be honest, he was indeed very unethical.

"Lord Lai Guang, Lord Boya, Lord Baoxian."

While Kousaka Kyosuke was still lost in thought, Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, and others who immediately recognized Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Kamo no Yasunori quickly went over to pay their respects.

Kyosuke Kousaka saw it, and his feelings were complicated.

He's taking advantage of the chaos this time!

With these main characters around, you should be able to beat the game no matter what, right?

The few people who were being watched by Kousaka Kyosuke were somewhat aware of the situation at this point.

"Hehe, there are so many ordinary people here, they must have some unique purpose."

Upon discovering that the evil god had invited him to participate in a program, Minamoto no Yorimitsu accepted without fear.

As it turned out, they saw about five hundred ordinary people. Whose mind was being disturbed?

"This is the trial of the Yamata no Orochi..."

I have some knowledge of Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Yaobikuni, whom Kousaka Kyosuke has mentioned.

In a daze, they witnessed a Kamo clan Onmyoji sacrifice himself to summon a strange, mysterious black shadow, which then came straight over.

Kamo no Yasunori was the same.

He never imagined that the clansmen he was looking for would sacrifice themselves to summon an unknown being.

Now, all he can think about is how to resolve this matter quickly!

In fact, Kyosuke Kosaka was quite impressed with his brother-in-law, Yasunori Kamo.

Politics? This is the third time he's taken sides.

Strength? Years ago it was the Kidomaru Rebellion, plus the departure of the current head of the clan, Kamo no Tadayuki…
