Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 613

Kyosuke Kousaka was embarrassed.

So you still remember?

Even the tone of voice is imitated so perfectly...

"Why don't you tell me a story?" Kyosuke Kosaka deftly changed the subject.

The beautiful phoenix eyes of the red spider lily shone brightly, and she smiled charmingly: "Okay~"

Her two glossy lips, as if painted with rouge, became even more vibrant, like burning flames.

Day 267 of crossing

Upon waking, Kyosuke Kousaka is dressed with the help of Kagura and Komachi.

A long, long time ago, I remember Yukino came first, then Chitanda took her place, then Nino, Miku, and Satsuki joined, and finally Komachi came and solved all the problems.

As the youngest, Komachi was treated like a younger sister and was pampered. Since she was also very skillful, the position was naturally passed down to her.

Even when he arrived at his bedchamber, Kousaka Kyosuke never intended to have anyone replace him.

Because Komachi is really amazing!

"Hmph~ Hmph~" Komachi hummed a tune as she finished dressing Kousaka Kyosuke, her voice growing more and more spirited.

Her slightly parted mouth revealed glimpses of her clean, even teeth, which shone brightly, while her playful little tiger teeth gleamed with life.

Kyosuke Kousaka seemed to be filled with motivation after seeing it.

"Lord Kyosuke, it's done~"

"Lord Kyosuke, it's done."

Following Komachi, Kagura responded softly.

Both of them received a pat on the head as a reward.

"...They really dote on Komachi and Kagura."

Mengye watched with envy from afar, but she didn't feel any jealousy or rivalry.

After all, Kyosuke Kosaka was quite good to her.

At most, I'll give preferential treatment to the clingy Kagura and Komachi, with whom I've spent quite a bit of time.

This is perfectly normal and logical.

If you become jealous, that wouldn't be good.

Anyway, Kyosuke Kousaka usually manages his time reasonably and spends time with everyone, and Moeha herself is no exception.

Therefore, there's no need for competition or anything like that.

The others had no further thoughts.

Kagura and Komachi are more like younger sisters, so it's perfectly reasonable for the husband to take more photos of them!

The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).

After having dinner with a group of friends and chatting for a while, Kyosuke Kosaka went out as he had the day before.

The miasma in Kyoto is still very thick today, but it has been strangely maintained at a certain level.

But this is still very uncomfortable and threatening for ordinary people. It's the same for monsters; it can even enhance their strength and corrupt their minds.

Difficult to handle.

Trying to dispel the miasma, but finding the surrounding atmosphere becoming agitated, Kyosuke Kousaka quickly stopped.

“It seems to be fixed in place by some kind of special magic circle,” Kagura said.

Through her spiritual vision, she saw that the miasma surrounding Kyoto was sealed off by a unique spiritual power.

It's the same principle as fixing the air in place and preventing it from flowing freely.

“This must be a trick by the palace!” Su Chang said with certainty.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "Yes, if I guessed correctly, it's to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

Although it will be tough on many people...

The next sentence was spoken to Kousaka Kyosuke in his heart.

Miasma has never been a good thing; monsters use it as a weapon.

Not to mention the possibility of the miasma coming into contact with humans.

Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at the area where the miasma was being blocked by a powerful barrier, and sighed with awe.

Then, he led his men to the three main roads.

Minamoto no Yorihira, who lived in a house at the crossroads and guarded the area, was still there.

Kyosuke Kosaka went straight to asking him about his current situation.

Minamoto no Yorihira solemnly said, "A divine messenger from Takamagahara has come to the palace. He seems to be instructing other Onmyoji to prepare a ritual to delay the arrival of Yamata no Orochi."

No, it's the Witch Serpent.

The Yamata no Orochi has a very high rank.

Kyosuke Kosaka corrected himself in his mind, of course, he couldn't say it out loud.

Moreover, even the shrine maiden serpent is extremely powerful.

The Witch Serpent, as its name suggests, is a filthy thing formed from the ghost, resentment, and rotting remains of a sacrificed witch.

It is composed of the spiritual power of the priestesses of the mortal realm and the divine power of the great serpent god from the gap in darkness.

The powerful spiritual energy, resentment, and divine power added by Yamata no Orochi with the intention of entertaining others... all this accumulated power is no different from that of a powerful god.

Kyosuke Kousaka had no idea how terrifying it was.

Unfortunately, he couldn't stop these things from happening.

Just like Huang, the messenger of the gods.

"The Shrine Maiden Orochi was created by Kyoto, therefore everyone in Kyoto must confront this calamity..."

It's roughly the same principle as "it's all predestined" or "you can't escape what's coming."

Even if you want to be a coward and surrender, you can't.

Kyosuke Kousaka felt helpless.

He just wanted to slack off.

"I understand. I will face everything positively when the time comes," Kousaka Kyosuke assured him firmly.

Minamoto no Yorihira said solemnly, "Let's encourage each other!"

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and was about to say goodbye when Minamoto no Yorihei suddenly said:

“There is a lot of miasma around the five main roads and thirteen wards. You need to be careful. There is a node of a certain magic array over there, as well as some rifts in the underworld that cannot be sealed for the time being. Monsters may break out of the underworld from those rifts at any time.”

"Thank you for reminding me," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

He then took his leave and went to the government office with his men.

They arrived at the inspection office.

Kyosuke Kosaka briefly reviewed yesterday's situation and was just about to consider how to properly resolve the manpower shortage when someone arrived—

"Lord Kyosuke, I am Kyosuke Kuku. I have been ordered by the Daoist Master to bring a thousand brave warriors to assist you."

A middle-aged man with a full beard bowed respectfully to Kyosuke Kosaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and nodded: "You've come at just the right time."

Kuku, the family that drove Kasumigaoka to its death.

well.

Kyosuke Kosaka seemed to see the Taoist priest chuckling.

"There's a place that needs manpower, so please wait patiently for a moment."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Jingyang quickly bowed again.

Since his great-uncle had no close descendants, he was adopted as a son and given the rank of the eighth-ranking official.

Since the current Taoist priest held an important position, he naturally also received an important responsibility.

As long as I work hard to accumulate merits, I will eventually be able to rise to the fifth rank and then inherit all of my great-uncle's legacy!

Jingyang was so excited he was about to go crazy.

Even knowing that the wealth of this era is far less than that of modern times, he still perfectly inherited everything from the Jiu Kong family through the advantage of being "male"!

And that niece who's always looked down on him, she'll have to wait and see!

"I'm so excited!"

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.
