Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Day 177 of crossing

With nothing to do, Kousaka Kyosuke remained the same as yesterday.

Nothing happened that day.

I heard that Chika's older sister came to visit.

However, I didn't pay much attention to it.

After having dinner with my partners in the evening, I took a bath...

Days 178, 179, and 180 were repeated day by day.

Until the 181st day of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had been making preparations for half a month, set off for the Minamoto clan's territory.

Today marks the day when the old Four Gods Barrier was dismantled.

Similarly, today is also the time to construct the new Four Gods Barrier.

When they arrived at the designated location—the Genji clan's territory on the outskirts of Kyoto—Kousaka Kyosuke was surprised.

The personnel are not only sourced from Lai Guang.

Also included are Kamo no Yasunori and Fujiwara no Michitsuna, whom Kousaka Kyosuke knew.

"The three major Onmyoji forces in Kyoto have gathered together."

Nodding as a greeting, Kousaka Kyosuke stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

The three of them arrived half an hour earlier than agreed.

He arrived 25 minutes early.

"Ah, you're up early." Fujiwara Michitsuna greeted him with a smile.

Kamo no Yasunori also gave Kosaka Kyosuke a rare, faint smile.

Perhaps it was due to a marriage alliance, or perhaps it was an invitation from the Water Department Office.

This person became much more enthusiastic.

To be honest, Kousaka Kyosuke was actually thinking that the Kamo family would also contribute if the Sea Kingdom invaded in the future.

Well, perhaps there's also a connection through marriage.

I just feel like Fumino's biological parents have already been found, so aren't you imposters a bit lacking?

"You're here really early."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled and joined in the conversation.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke simply asked, "How about I come at the agreed time?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled and said:

"There's nothing I need to hide; I just wanted to make it quick for you to come over."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna continued Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words to Kousaka Kyosuke:

"It's too complicated to explain, so I didn't plan to explain it to you. The main issue is the Kyoto Great Barrier."

"Kyoto's geographical location is bordered by Mount Shichikaku to the north, Mount Ōe to the west, Mount Kuroya to the south, and the Plain of the Demons to the east..."

Kyosuke Kousaka was completely stunned.

Is this meant to educate him?

Fujiwara Michitsuna ignored Kousaka Kyosuke's expression and continued to speak in more detail.

Seeing that Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Kamo no Yasunori had both let Fujiwara no Michitsuna explain things, Kousaka Kyosuke naturally had no objections.

In short, as soon as he came in, he listened to Fujiwara no Michitsuna's earnest explanation.

“Kyoto is located at the center of five points, forming a pentagram array, which creates a natural barrier.”

"Today we must rely on the power of the Great Barrier to stabilize the Four Gods Barrier in Kyoto."

After listening to the explanation for almost fifteen minutes, Kyosuke Kosaka finally nodded.

"I understand. It means using the great barrier to absorb the spiritual power of the earth's veins to assist in rebuilding the Four Gods Barrier inside Kyoto, right?"

Fujiwara no Michitsuna chuckled, "That's one way to understand it."

Kyosuke Kosaka's lips twitched slightly: "Actually, it's fine if you don't explain it to me."

At this moment.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu remained noncommittal, as if he knew something.

Kamo no Yasunori maintained his usual indifferent expression, and no one knew what he was feeling.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna, however, was all smiles.

Kousaka Kyosuke probably knew why Minamoto no Yorimitsu had asked him to come later.

Is it simply that they don't want to hear science explanations?

He felt too embarrassed to interrupt after listening to Fujiwara no Michitsuna's detailed explanation.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Kamo no Yasunori were the same, weren't they?

Afterwards, the three continued to discuss various barriers.

Kyousuke Kosaka serves as the audience.

Suddenly, he realized a problem.

The three Onmyoji families that established the Great Barrier have all gathered here. Ichiju and Kanetaka probably don't know anything about it.

This is a rather delicate matter.

He glanced casually at his brother-in-law, Kamo no Yasunori.

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered to himself, "As expected of the next head of the Kamo family!"

An hour later.

Following the techniques given to him by Fujiwara no Michitsuna, Kousaka Kyosuke began to work with Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Kamo no Yasunori to dispel the barrier of the four gods.

He unconsciously looked towards the directions of Mount Kuroya, Mount Oe, and Mount Shichikaku.

From the perspective of the scene, it seems as if shrouded in mist, and the darkest depths of the earth are stirring at the slightest breeze...

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head secretly.

Lord Kaneyuki, Lord Shinji, we have one more day to rebuild the Four Gods Barrier...

Hold on!

97. Ichika Miku / Ayanokoji's PUA / Kyoto Situation

soon.

Kyosuke Kosaka, along with Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Yasunori Kamo, began to rebuild the Four Gods Barrier together.

Streams of earth vein spiritual energy subtly flowed into all directions of Kyoto.

Everything was silent.

It's estimated that no one knows exactly what happened around Kyoto.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was channeling spiritual energy, silently said:

Just this day.

On this one day, we have to bear the burden no matter how heavy the blame is!

Lord Kenryoku, Lord Shinji.

For the greater good!

Huhuhu~

The ghostly howls, like weeping and wailing, grew even more intense with the wind.

Coupled with today's gloomy weather, it was as if a hundred ghosts were swarming into the sky.

"...It seems like that day in Peace City, Kyoto."

Ichika, standing on the edge of her mother's room, stared blankly at the sky.

The sky was shrouded in darkness in just a few breaths.

Because the world changes too quickly.

She and her sister Yotsuba, who had come to help with the cleaning, hid inside the house.

"Don't worry, the mansion has been protected by a strong barrier set up by Lord Kyosuke, so nothing will happen."

Miku said with certainty.

Through conversation, she also learned that the environment in Heijō-kyō, where her older sister Ichika, younger sister Yotsuba, and their parents lived, was very poor.

The sanitary conditions are very poor due to geographical and management issues.
