Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1574

In response, Kyosuke Kosaka gave Su Yi an injection beforehand.

So he told him that he wanted to become the governor of another state.

"So that's what Lord Kyosuke was planning..."

"I haven't had this idea for very long. Because of Amaterasu's power, my existence is rather special, so it's better to actively avoid it."

Kyosuke Kosaka provided a very reasonable explanation.

The meaning wasn't clear.

To put it bluntly, it means that he himself undermined the legitimacy of the royal rule.

From this perspective, I not only have conflicts with the royal family, but also with the noble families who have always been related to the royal family through marriage. Although the two forces often fight, they are, to a certain extent, one entity.

The appearance of myself as the successor to the power of the God-King Amaterasu is more legitimate than that of anyone with Amaterasu blood.

It might also be illegal?

But that's not important. What's important is that people feel threatened.

that's enough.

Knowing all too well the psychology of those in power, Kyosuke Kousaka was too lazy to argue and chose to avoid conflict to prevent a bloody tragedy.

As I said before, it would be ridiculous to die in human conflict instead of at the hands of an evil god.

Moreover, it seems to trample on the efforts and sacrifices made by gods and even nameless heroes.

"The situation in Kyoto is so complicated..."

"It's alright, it's alright. These things are nothing. With Daogang and Laiguang guarding things, this situation won't get complicated."

Kyosuke Kosaka comforted Su Yi.

Even if internal strife is inevitable, shouldn't it wait until after the major war?

"In any case, the manor needs to prepare for war next." Su Yi immediately shifted the focus to holding the prayer ceremony.

She also felt that Orochi and the other evil gods who had not yet fully descended would stand by and watch things happen.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Relax a bit. We'll definitely get reinforcements. Let's continue to focus on our defense."

"Lord Kyosuke! Sister!"

There was a knocking sound at the door and Su Chang's voice calling out.

Then the door opened and Su Chang walked in.

"What's the matter?"

When Su Yi saw her younger sister Su Chang, who should have been on patrol, suddenly arrive, she immediately guessed that something unexpected had happened.

Su Chang hurriedly said, "The reinforcements from Takamagahara have arrived."

"The Divine Army over at Takamagahara," Kousaka Kyosuke wasn't so surprised, "were they treated well?"

Su Chang added, "Yes, but they're being too polite, refusing to accept anything. Now they're saying they want to be stationed on the outer perimeter..."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded slightly: "Yes, I'll go see them."

There's no reason not to use a free, unpaid bodyguard.

Let's greet each other politely now.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

Suzuhiko-hime is already one of the most suitable people to teach the Prayer Dance.

Among them are Kagura, Tsukuyomi, Shiranui, Sakura, Momo... and Kinara, who had not arrived before.

Kinnara was resting earlier, and the person who went to invite her dared not disturb her.

Now that I've heard the news, I'm naturally very eager to join.

"Dancing is something that can really make you feel happy!"

"It would be best if you could think that way; dancers need this kind of optimistic attitude."

Suzuhiko-hime said happily to Kinnara.

The Moon God pondered and murmured, "We need an optimistic spirit..."

What kind of optimistic approach is this?

She must be very optimistic right now, right?

It's important to understand that she used to be like a wandering rabbit, so it's normal for her to have pessimistic feelings.

When he ended up in Kyoto, he originally wanted to stay temporarily at a dilapidated, ownerless Inari Shrine in the suburbs, but unexpectedly he met Kousaka Kyosuke.

From that moment on, the world was different.

There's definitely no more pessimism.

I am optimistic at the moment, since I am not pessimistic at all.

"With him...with the believers who trust me...with everyone..."

At this moment, the Moon Chaser discovered that he had many precious people who were worth protecting.

"I also think dancing is a very enjoyable thing. It's a pity there aren't any dance competitions here, otherwise I would definitely participate."

The cheerful and lively peach blossom fairy smiled and echoed her sentiments.

She used to be a bit shy, but now she's become much more frank. It's because the people and monsters she knows are all very nice that she's gradually changed.

"A competition?" Suzuhiko Hime laughed heartily. "Sure, after I finish teaching you guys and then the next group, the two groups can try a competition. I'll invite Kyosuke and the others to be the referees."

"Okay, okay~"

Kinnara thought it was a good idea!

As a shikigami, dancing to please its master, Kousaka Kyosuke, seems perfectly in line with a shikigami's duty.

The Moon Chaser's expression froze...

She suddenly remembered how Kyosuke Kosaka had made her wear different clothes and strike some strange poses before. What should she do if he made her dance like that next time?

488. The situation inside the manor / Humans and monsters / Status of men and women

Day 511 of crossing

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had never imagined he would be able to stay at the manor, was quietly contemplating.

Although I really want to spend time with other partners, I am currently in a period of rapid growth in strength, so I should not waste the time that is available for in-depth training.

Longkui seems to have gained some insights these past few days and has stopped appearing in the Demon Sword.

I also need to work harder.

In short, I'll continue my practice until the afternoon and skip lunch.

the other side.

Kagura, who hasn't yet delved into magic, has already mastered the prayer dance taught by Suzuhiko-hime quite well.

Now I'm helping to mentor people.

"Honoka, try to make your movements more natural. Take a look at mine first, and you can imitate me..."

"……OK!"

Honoka quickly agreed, keeping a close eye on Kagura's movements, and her own body moved along with hers.

They looked very serious and focused.

This is different from when I can't calm down on a normal day, and I sometimes unconsciously fidget or even space out.

The other companions who knew Honoka were incredulous.

"Honoka is working so hard, I definitely have to do my best too!"

Seeing this, Minami Kotori became even more motivated.

Seeing this, Sonoda Umi also felt that she needed to work harder so that Honoka wouldn't think she wasn't serious enough.

Even though she comes from a family with a long tradition of Japanese dance, she has memorized all the parts of the prayer dance and can dance the whole thing very smoothly.

"Well……"

Suzuhiko looked at the hardworking people with a thoughtful expression.

Su Chang, who was temporarily out of work and observing, noticed this situation and quietly went over to ask out of curiosity.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Actually, apart from dancers like Kinnara and Tsukuyomi who perfectly fit the criteria, the others are really just 'candidates'."

"Oh... I think I understand what you mean, Suzuhiko-hime. You think they'll be upset if they don't need to show up?"

"That's roughly the gist of it. For now, I need to see what kind of dancers Lord Ara will bring. If they're really that skilled, there's no need for us to take any risks."

Suzuhiko-hime became unusually serious when she spoke.

She did give it careful consideration because it involved everyone's safety.
