Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"..."

Yukino, who was going to her sister's bedchamber with her, paused slightly, then glared at her sister.

"I was just saying—is Yukino ready to be the older sister?"

"Of course!"

Yukino straightened her chest firmly.

Yang Nai glanced at her younger sister with a hint of regret; she still hadn't grown much.

Fortunately, this can be considered a unique feature.

Yang Nai occasionally wondered if this was because Kousaka Kyosuke liked this kind of flavor?

If so, then the younger sister is quite lucky~

If not, that's fine too, I'll come to you, sister!

"elder sister--"

Yukino's face instantly turned an unbelievable red, and her gaze at Haruno became even more "fierce".

Haruno looked away and quickly said, "Sorry, sorry, I was just drawn to Yukino because she's so cute."

"Sister, your apology lacks any sincerity, but I don't care about that at all. If you really think you can suppress me with some superficial gestures, I want to tell you that it's hard to say who the real winner is..."

She launched into a long, rambling speech, speaking with utmost seriousness.

Yukino leaned back slightly: "...Yukino, are you trying to challenge my older sister?"

"Hmph, I don't need to do that!"

"Hey, you'd better not regret this."

"...No way!" Yukino said firmly.

Yang Nai wanted to laugh, but also felt a faint, unforgettable warmth in her heart.

She had a vague feeling that her sister was trying to resolve the awkward situation in this way.

Having a younger sister like this is wonderful.

The Prosecutor's Office is investigating illegal activities.

After inspecting the surroundings in the official residence, he sat there like a mascot.

Su Chang, Yao Dao Ji, and Bai Lang, who were previously by his side, all went to exorcise evil spirits, while Kagura stood beside him as a mascot.

It's not that Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't want to take action.

However, since his brother-in-law Kamo no Yasunori of the Yin-Yang Bureau and Minamoto no Yorihira of the Outer Guard Office had both given him advance notice that they needed to "show off," he certainly couldn't go and disturb them.

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kousaka, who was constantly observing his surroundings, paused for a moment, then quickly stood up and looked at the others.

"Everyone, I have detected a sudden surge of miasma in Kyoto. This miasma will weaken humans to some extent and greatly enhance the strength of demons and monsters. Therefore, please enter the highest level of alert!"

A calm voice rang in the ears of the busy people, and they all stopped what they were doing to look at Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't offer any further encouragement or instructions, but simply said, "I'm going to guard the area near the Imperial Palace now. You all maintain the status quo and continue your work. Before I leave, I'll set up a large barrier to protect you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, serious responses began to come one after another.

Kousaka Kyosuke didn't pay attention and took Kagura outside to set up a barrier.

Only after the barrier was set up did they head towards the palace.

At this moment, a large number of Onmyoji are stationed around the palace, and the surging evil spirits, monsters and demons are eliminated as soon as they appear.

"Kagura, watch over my surroundings."

"Don't worry," Kagura replied quickly.

Kousaka Kyosuke gave a soft "hmm," raised his hand to form a hand seal, and a majestic aura soared into the sky.

In an instant, a sea of ​​fire appeared all around, and the seemingly real yet illusory sea of ​​fire burned away all the demons and ghosts that were causing trouble.

The slightly dark area turned crimson in the blink of an eye, dispelling the gloom.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

"It's Kyousuke-sama!"

"I will continue to survey the surrounding area. Thank you all for your hard work."

Kousaka Kyosuke said a few words and left. The familiar stench of snakes and the thick miasma in the sky meant that even if the shrine maiden serpent couldn't come out, it had already caused great damage to Kyoto through the miasma.

He has so much to do right now!

Just as Kyosuke Kosaka was about to head to another place, a large crack suddenly appeared in the ground.

Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze, which had been drawn in, was suddenly captivated by the vibrant little flowers blooming in the crack...

159. Lycoris Radiata / Order / A Moment of Leisure / Follow-up Situation

Click~click~

The earth cracked open, and vibrant flowers bloomed in the cracks, like flames igniting the ashes.

Before he could even appreciate it, Kyosuke Kosaka instinctively raised his hand and cast a barrier, enveloping the sea of ​​flowers!

Then, using his skillful earth magic, he closed up the cracked land again!

Setting up barriers, sealing, and earth and wood magic—all done in one go!

It took less than the blink of an eye.

"This flower is very beautiful, and there shouldn't be any problems. I'll try planting it."

As he brought the flowers to his face, Kyosuke Kousaka casually remarked to Kagura beside him.

Kagura blinked and nodded obediently.

The flowers that catch the eye are indeed very beautiful.

The petals are obovate-lanceolate, curling backwards, and are eerily red, like flames.

It was just like the flames her husband unleashed.

Kagura likes it very much.

As for what exactly happened just now?

She refused to bother with it.

Kyosuke Kosaka still explained, "That must have been a rift from the underworld."

Kagura said thoughtfully, "Oh, I guessed so."

She knew it.

When her husband is alone with her, he holds her and talks about the world.

This includes the world.

This world is composed of two sides, the Yang Realm and the Yin Realm, which can influence each other.

The situation just now was probably caused by a local imbalance of Yin and Yang due to a large amount of miasma, resulting in a crack in the Yin realm.

"Let's look around and see if there are any similar situations."

"Ok."

Kagura quickly activated her perception spell to observe her surroundings.

Soon after, several more places were discovered, and Kousaka Kyosuke immediately sealed them and also collected the red flowers that had suddenly appeared.

"I feel like we could try making medicine."

Kyosuke Kousaka was delighted to have the flowers stored in his magical space.

Sensing the burgeoning soul power within, he thought it would be good to give the red flower medicine to his brothers-in-law.

As for what kind of flower it was... Kousaka Kyosuke didn't want to delve into the details.

He only cares about the benefits.

So, Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura searched everywhere very diligently.

It's best to give up only if you can't find it.

Moreover, the appearance of large amounts of miasma is even more troublesome than the previously surging yin energy.

The miasma drove most of the monsters mad, forcing many Onmyoji and samurai to fight against it.

Kyoto, which has stood for countless years, is filled with a strong smell of blood.

A quick glance revealed several gruesome corpses scattered across the orderly street—humans and monsters alike…

The scale of the attack was no less devastating than the previous extermination efforts.

"Tell me if you feel unwell, and try to avoid looking at corpses as much as possible," Kousaka Kyosuke, who was always watching Kagura's condition, instructed.

Kagura was young and should have stayed in her bedroom playing with her friends.

However, since she wanted to stick close to him, Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't refuse.
