Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Kyosuke Kosaka then noticed that Chika Fujiwara, who was following closely behind him, had a rather sad expression on her face.

She is also a kind girl.

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his eyelids, lost in thought.

Soon, the two arrived at an abandoned two-story attic.

The dilapidated, dusty exterior makes it clear that this is an uninhabited building.

"We've come here to look for something. Can you play the piano and see if anyone's here?"

Not far from the door, Kousaka Kyosuke spoke to Fujiwara Chika again.

Fujiwara Chika nodded earnestly: "No problem!"

Immediately, Kyosuke Kosaka took out a huge piece of silk cloth from his magical space.

"Lord Kyosuke, I can handle this!"

When Fujiwara Chika saw Kosaka Kyosuke about to spread the cloth on the ground, she quickly went to help.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and took out his seven-stringed zither.

Fujiwara Chika bent down and quickly and steadily laid out the silk cloth.

The loose hunting robe could not conceal the girl's beauty.

The peach-shaped, rounded contours still appear exceptionally full even when slightly bulging.

Kousaka Kyosuke unconsciously thought of peaches.

The tastier ones are juicy and refreshing, with a sweet and savory flavor.

Before we knew it, it was already early autumn.

If you look for them now, you should still be able to find peaches.

I just don't know if it will taste as sweet and delicious as the food I ate in the modern world.

And I don't know why.

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka began to pursue the water content of peaches.

"And the koto!" After finishing her work, Fujiwara Chika quickly took the seven-stringed koto that Kousaka Kyosuke hadn't put down yet.

Her cheeks flushed slightly from the quick movements, making her overall features softer and more alluring.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't go back to see it.

Next, we need to go find something.

Based on the deduction, the item should be here.

Let's get ready and begin.

"Okay, Kyosuke-sama."

Feeling entrusted with a mission, Fujiwara Chika responded enthusiastically.

she thought.

"We must help Kyosuke-sama!"

"My father and mother have been very unhappy lately."

"This is because I was ignorant before..."

"If I were to be happily together with Kyosuke-sama right now..."

"Then there won't be any problems!"

We've only spent less than ten days together.

Fujiwara Chika still harbored strong feelings for Kousaka Kyosuke.

She understood perfectly well that Kyosuke Kousaka was very magnanimous.

I was too embarrassed to chat before, which made people very angry.

It's good that Kousaka Kyosuke isn't angry yet.

We can't keep messing around like this; we need to start living a proper life!

"I'm about to begin, Kyosuke-sama."

"Go all out!"

"Ok!"

Fujiwara Chika took a deep breath.

Kyosuke Kosaka blinked.

I could vaguely see tall, imposing trees beckoning to me.

Clang clang~~

The sound of a piano began softly.

Soft, melodious music began to play.

Kyosuke Kosaka calmly looked at the dilapidated attic in front of him.

"I can't sense any presence."

"But the position should be correct."

"Or perhaps you're not here?"

Constantly considering all the possibilities.

There are all sorts of them.

For example, was Xuanxiang's disappearance caused by human intervention or an accident?

Unexpected events are easy to handle.

Was the perpetrator the Taoist priest himself, or Yi Zhou and other forces?

Yes!

Strictly speaking, the Taoist priest could also be the perpetrator.

In melodramatic palace dramas, there are often tricks like feigning injury and framing others.

Why can't a Taoist priest do it?

We should make objective evaluations based on historical information.

The Taoist priest can be described as the male protagonist of the most intense palace intrigue drama.

Because the imperial court was a regency.

This is a type of interference in politics by maternal relatives.

Among this.

The emperor's wife and children were arguably the most important factor in the stability of the Kanpaku's power!

Therefore, it wasn't just a guess that Kyosuke Kosaka had been secretly thinking that the Taoist priest was giving advice to his daughter.

To be precise, a qualified regent should have control over the emperor's wife and son.

Undoubtedly, the Taoist priests in history did a very good job.

What about this era?

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't really think the mythological and fantasy version of the Taoist priest is that bad.

"In any case, let's get the Xuanxiang first."

Kyosuke Kosaka made a decision in secret.

He didn't believe the Taoist priest would do such a thing.

Even if there's a one in ten thousand chance it's true, how could it be wrong for someone like me to actively help?

clank--

A pipa plays a soft melody.

It seems to be a response.

Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at Fujiwara Chika, whose expression remained unchanged and composed.

It was somewhat difficult to identify at first glance.

Fujiwara Chika was clearly in a state of focused concentration as she played the seven-stringed koto.

Her expression was so dazed that it seemed completely out of place with her innocent and charming face...

The music became plaintive and sorrowful.

The sound of a pipa in the ruins was a warm response.

Kousaka Kyosuke was startled at first.

Then, he silently took out a bamboo flute from his magical space.
