Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 614

He was quite happy.

You like to coerce other time travelers into doing things, right?

Let's see if we'll get our comeuppance.

With the beautiful smiles of his partners in the bedroom flashing through his mind, Kyosuke Kosaka was seriously considering how to send someone to the deepest abyss.

In short, he can't die yet...

Sometimes, it's the living who are the most useful.

Thinking this through, Kyosuke Kosaka used a talisman to summon his brothers-in-law back to the Kenbishi Office.

In the quiet pavilion.

Kyosuke Kosaka first looked everyone over and, finding nothing amiss, began to speak.

"Next, I will assign you to patrol the outer perimeter of the five main roads. You must protect one person and ensure he does not die. That's all, understand?"

After speaking, Kousaka Kyosuke looked at the others.

They all appeared calm, but their eyes and movements betrayed a hint of astonishment.

It seems everyone understands.

"Lord Kyosuke, is there anything else we need to do..." Ayanokouji asked cautiously.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "There's no need to do anything deliberately."

Ayanokouji seemed to be deep in thought. To do it subtly and without being noticed, it was necessary to cause him trouble, right?

Upon hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's tacit agreement, Ayanokouji also officially confirmed it.

"But the safety of Kyoto is still the top priority."

"Yes!"×4

Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, Horikita Manabu, and Shijo Teito all responded in unison.

Individuals are actually very complex.

Having come into formal contact with some of the darker aspects of society, it's impossible for them not to have any thoughts about it.

Hikigaya sighed inwardly, secretly deciding to become a robot and unconditionally obey Ayanokouji's commands this time.

Horikita Manabu didn't think about it much.

"Since he is Lord Kyosuke's enemy, then we can only deal with him with all our might."

Shijou Tei inwardly smiled bitterly.

"Although I'm very happy that Kyosuke-sama entrusted me with such an important task, it's still hard for me to be truly happy."

Indeed, how can a job be completely satisfactory?

Considering that his performance might affect his sister's marriage, he had no choice but to muster all his strength.

My sister is really unlucky.

She was originally supposed to marry the head of the family, but she happened to marry into the Genji lineage first, so she had to postpone it. But after a while, another crisis broke out in Kyoto?

It's obvious without much thought that my sister's wedding has to be called off.

Shijo Teito felt sorry for his sister.

Ultimately, if she doesn't marry into the family, there will definitely be changes.

My father, mother, and the retainers are all quite worried.

Especially his retainers, who were always looking worried... Emperor Shijō was also troubled.

In any case, let's get this matter settled first!

And so, the brothers-in-law left.

wrong.

Horikita Manabu is not the brother-in-law.

Thinking of Horikita Manabu gave Kousaka Kyosuke a slight headache.

He was somewhat hesitant about choosing Horikita Suzune, the female lead in "Jikkyou".

In the end, Horikita Manabu was taken in as a vassal and prepared to be groomed as a confidant, while his younger sister was left unattended.

Even Kyosuke Kousaka sensed something was amiss.

Hikigaya's younger sister Komachi, Ayanokoji's younger sister Shizuko, Shijou Tei's older sister Maki... but Horikita Manabu's younger sister isn't included?

This doesn't look good.

Forget it, let's put it aside for now.

Kyosuke Kosaka is never short of women, and he dislikes troublesome women.

If we observe that Horikita Suzune has the same personality as in the original work, it feels better to assign her to a future confidante.

However, the relationship still made Kousaka Kyosuke feel uneasy...

Does it require treatment?

No, he's not that kind of person. Let's hold off for now.

After that, Kyosuke Kosaka started arranging things for several of his brothers-in-law, and also arranged for Kyōjō Kuzō.

Don't rush to dig a hole; let him make mistakes slowly and gradually expose his weaknesses.

Anyway, since they're under my command, I can do whatever I want with them.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Kousaka Kyosuke then led Kagura, Susou, Yoto Hime, and Hakuro, who were waiting in the inner room, out.

Several women were still too conspicuous in the main hall of the Prosecutor's Office.

Even though it's possible to use spells that induce cognitive impairment to make others ignore it, it's best not to use them in this emergency situation.

Ultimately, the Prosecutor's Office is a violent institution.

There was no room for women to play a role from the outset; even those who served tea and water were always low-status male attendants, and there were no maids or servants.

Well, while it's not explicitly forbidden, the unspoken rule is that no one is allowed to misbehave in the government offices.

Kyosuke Kosaka naturally had to maintain the sanctity of the official residence.

Normally, it wouldn't matter if Kagura was alone. Even if she were discovered, she could just say she was taking care of a child or a young wife?

Try hard to clear your mind of distracting thoughts.

Kyosuke Kosaka led his men to exterminate the evil spirits, just as they had done the day before.

At this time, as long as Kyoto does not fill in certain rifts in the underworld and remove a large amount of yin energy and miasma, monsters will continue to be attracted there.

“Some monsters seem to have been bewitched,” said the observant White Wolf.

Yaodao-hime chimed in, "She's not as crazy as before, it's like she's being controlled."

Without hesitation, Su Chang replied, "It must have been done by that evil god!"

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded in agreement with everyone's point of view.

"Even so, there's nothing we can do right now except wait passively, and we also need to prepare to deal with the evil god..."

As soon as he said that, a large amount of black mist gathered in the sky above the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

Kyosuke Kosaka, under certain conditions, carried Kagura on his back and rushed to the Imperial Palace.

Needless to say, the others quickly followed behind Kyosuke Kosaka.

Everyone knows that Kyosuke Kousaka is in charge of maintaining order.

The most important thing is to manage the noble district well... and the royal palace!

Even with countless excellent Onmyoji protecting them in the Imperial Palace, it's still the same!

"hiss~~"

A howling shockwave swept across the sky, and black mist, seemingly appearing from nowhere, swirled and churned like a vortex.

Countless people looked in the direction of the strange sound.

All that could be seen were snake heads entwined with murky black mist, and dark clouds dancing in the sky, creating a magnificent scene, like the end of the world!

"The ancient evil god is about to be fully resurrected..."

"No! There's not enough time! We need to buy some more time!"

"Look! Lord Lai Guang has passed by!"

"And Lord Kyosuke—"

Yes, Kyosuke Kosaka arrived shortly after.

At that moment, he held Kagura's small hand tightly.

Kagura's face was calm, her other little hand tightly gripping the umbrella.

Suddenly, a red light filled the sky.
