Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1594

Suzuhiko looked at Kagura with a smile.

Kagura said, "I learned it when I was a child. It's a dance that every shrine maiden must learn, but I don't know if it differs from what you, Suzuhiko-hime, know."

"That's it. Modern Kagura dances are too focused on ritual. Hmm, if Kagura were to dance it, it wouldn't be like that. You dance very well." Suzuhiko suddenly realized.

Peacock King also praised, "Yes, Kagura's dance is perfectly natural, possessing not only the elegant beauty of ritual but also the unique, lively beauty of a young girl..."

As Kousaka Kyosuke listened, he couldn't help but nod his head more and more.

To be honest, Kagura can be described as an all-around perfect wife.

Kagura excels at everything she does—magic, martial arts, cooking… Whenever Kousaka Kyosuke teaches her, Kagura learns exceptionally quickly and well.

Not to mention Kagura's dance training since childhood.

For some inexplicable reason, Kyosuke Kousaka started having wild thoughts.

For example, after this great battle ends, should Kagura perform a solo dance for him?

Let's forget about it now; we can't be so frivolous at such a serious moment... *gulp gulp*, Kousaka Kyosuke heard the sound of swallowing in his mind.

"I can jump right now," Kagura said, clenching her fist and volunteering.

Kyosuke Kosaka coughed quietly; he'd been caught.

so awkward!

“Then I’ll accompany you, Kagura!” Kinnara summoned the biwa (a type of lute) Gensho, looking very excited.

Even though she found the prayer dance tiring and boring these days, she never complained.

That doesn't mean she has no thoughts.

As the Peacock King said, dancing is only fun if you dance happily!

"Thank you for your help, Kinnara."

Kagura, who had already stood up, summoned the Kagura Bell from her spatial storage and prepared to dance.

After careful observation, she discovered many things.

She sensed both the Peacock King's seemingly troubled mood and the growing heaviness in her companions' hearts.

Yes, she could feel her husband's expectations.

Therefore, Kagura felt she had to do something.

If we can make everyone happy with a dance that is both well-structured and full of vitality...

Thinking of these things, Kagura danced gracefully to the sound of Kinara's biwa.

All eyes were on Kagura, and for a moment the only sound in the world was the sound of the biwa.

"What a good girl."

The Peacock King praised it in his heart.

She has been immersed in the field of dance since she can remember, and it can be said that dance is her only life.

Therefore, she was able to see many things in the dance very easily.

Right now, what Peacock King can see is Kagura's care for her and for everyone. The clearer he feels it, the warmer his heart becomes.

After an unknown amount of time, the pipa music stopped, and the Kagura dance also ceased.

As the Peacock King gradually regained his senses, he felt a warmth in his eyes.

"...Kagura."

"Yes, Lord Peacock King."

"Why don't you become my sister?"

"..."

Kagura blinked, said nothing, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka stopped reminiscing about Kagura's dance and immediately gave Peacock King an apologetic smile.

"We'll have to ask Hiromasa if he agrees to this kind of family reunion. He only has one sister, Kagura. Do you want to be Hiromasa's older sister or younger sister?"

Just kidding, Kagura belongs to him.

Other people who are not related by blood, please step aside.

"Kyosuke-san's relationship with Kagura seems... rather unusual."

"Kagura is my wife."

"..."

Now it was Peacock King's turn to remain silent.

She looked at Kagura strangely at first, then opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Uh.

Kyosuke Kosaka was also somewhat speechless.

This makes him seem like a pervert.

Does that mean that the Peacock King's lineage requires people to be twenty years old before they can get married?

That's not actually the case.

Peacock King could tell at a glance that Kagura was a pure virgin, but Kousaka Kyosuke said that Kagura was his wife, which naturally made Peacock King a little confused.

"Yes, I am Kyosuke's wife," Kagura emphasized again.

Don't let her small size fool you, she's actually quite big.

Even though he still doesn't grow any taller...

"Oh, oh..." Peacock King responded vaguely, his words lacking the firm conviction he had before.

She was still wondering about the relationship between Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura.

Others were gradually drawn to the matter as well, and each person's thoughts were quite subtle.

Nico Yazawa, who is only slightly larger than Kagura, is completely dominated by the word "loli".

When she was in school, some people always treated her like a junior or even an elementary school student, which she always resented.

Should I be proud right now...? No, what am I thinking?!

Ha ha.

Yaobikuni, her heart gradually filling with joy, watched Kousaka Kyosuke with a silent smile.

She really enjoyed watching Kyosuke Kousaka's seemingly calm demeanor, which was perhaps the most interesting thing to her at the moment.

For a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke felt powerless, realizing he was being secretly criticized by many. Yes, he did love Kagura...

500. Persuasion / The Last Moment of Leisure / Chance Encounter

After politely declining Peacock King's offer to take Kagura as his adopted sister, Kousaka Kyosuke took the opportunity to leave.

We now know that the ritual to awaken the god Amaterasu is basically without problems, so we should also inform Susanoo and Seimei.

It is still necessary to notify them of these issues in a timely manner to avoid affecting their judgment.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who doesn't intend to get involved in the schemes, focuses more on his supporting role.

Whether it was fighting on the front lines or handling logistics, he always tried his best to do his best.

Of course, all of this actually depends on everyone's help.

To be frank, Kyosuke Kosaka was basically just trying to be a "hands-off manager" who provided resources.

Yes, because his power is extraordinary.

He can easily collect all the minerals from a mountain in the blink of an eye, and he can also use his self-developed techniques to undertake various major construction projects.

It was precisely because of this convenience that he was able to distribute those so-called rewards to his vassals and others.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to handle.

You can't expect a horse to run without eating grass, can you? That would be completely inhumane.

In short, after saying goodbye, Kousaka Kyosuke headed in the direction of Susanoo.

According to his perception, Susanoo, Seimei, and Minamoto no Hiromasa were all in the area inhabited by yokai, for reasons unknown.

Kousaka Kyosuke's mind was filled with images of monsters who were as innocent as children but as strong as oxen, and he felt quite helpless.

"We can't possibly argue with a monster who knows nothing..."

That's probably why he's not very good at dealing with these monsters.

Unlike some monsters whose "elite" leaders have already started to teach them a lesson with their fists.

Compared to verbal instruction, practical actions are more persuasive and influential.

This is probably the law of the monster world.

No, it seems that humans are the same way.
