Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

She was well aware that Amaterasu had sealed away the evil gods one by one to other worlds, and Noshii was in the same situation.

To supplement what Ji said before, this world should have been a world without any life at the beginning, until Noshii God created the Leaf People with his withered leaves.

If that were all there was to it, then Noshii could be considered the progenitor of humankind.

But things don't always go as people expect. Noshii-gami created the Leaf People simply because she thought these people could cultivate more "evil fruits" for her to feast on.

Things will change someday, maybe soon.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and spoke.

Once Noshii is removed, the world will naturally break free from her constraints and develop freely. One day, it will be guided by the starlight and return to its original path.

Kagura gave a soft "hmm" and smiled sweetly, "It will be quick."

Kousaka Kyosuke was impressed.

It's so wonderful to have a partner who's always there to listen to you and cater to your emotional needs.

Longkui, who was sitting next to Kousaka Kyosuke alongside Kagura, smiled slightly and remained silent.

She also liked Kagura, her understanding companion.

"Thank goodness Kagura is with Kyosuke, I guess I'm still not quite up to it..."

Longkui was quite self-aware.

"Let's go back and take another look at the stars in the sky. Because of Lord Ara, we can see quite a few stars in the sky over Kyoto."

Kousaka Kyosuke said suddenly.

Longkui asked with a smile, "What kind of snacks should we prepare then?"

"How about osmanthus cake?"

"Okay."

Longkui readily agreed.

Look, this man is still so charming; he even knows what kind of snacks she likes to eat.

Kakakka~

Ji was still happily savoring his fried potatoes, admiring the night view with great interest.

Unlike Kyosuke Kosaka and others, she looked at trees, grass, stones... Every ordinary thing seemed very different to her.

Each individual element, pieced together at the same moment, creates a unique scene that she feels she could never tire of seeing over the years.

It would be even better if there was something delicious to eat while watching.

"What other delicious dishes will Kyosuke make? I'm really looking forward to it, but the fried rice is already pretty good..."

Ji smiled happily and swallowed the last piece of fried potato.

These are delicious too!

The next day.

Seeing that Kijima seemed to want more fried rice, Kyosuke Kosaka made her another serving.

"You get tired of eating this every day."

"No, I don't think I'll get tired of it."

Ji said it with certainty.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost thought of saying, "Eating like that every day will definitely make me fat!"

Considering that Ji was a god, and the god of the four seasons, he immediately retracted what he wanted to say.

Beings like gods and monsters never worry about things like gaining weight.

Unlike other human companions, they generally eat a certain amount of food with a specific purpose and almost never exceed it.

To this day, what Kousaka Kyosuke most wants to complain about is the cooking style of "lots of dishes, very little food".

But almost everyone is like that, so he never complained about it like that.

"Would you like me to fry some potatoes for you?"

Longkui asked.

Ji Mang shook his head: "No need, no need, I'll be satisfied after finishing this meal."

“By the way, your true form… this clone…” Long Kui suddenly realized that the Ji in front of her was a clone, and immediately didn’t know how to put it.

Ji noticed Longkui's predicament and explained it to her in detail.

"Although this is an avatar, my consciousness is that of my true self. It's just that my true self is trapped and unable to move, so I had to transfer my consciousness to the forest where I originally lived."

"It was around that time—"

"Yes, yes."

The calm tone of his explanation suddenly turned flustered.

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka remembered the scene when he first met Ki.

"Was it around that time... when he had just escaped and was preparing to refine his clone?"

If that's the case, they really are quite lucky.

No, that's not right!

It's highly likely that Ara used some means to help them find allies at the very beginning of their arrival in the other world!

Thinking about it this way, it's definitely not a coincidence at all.

Indeed, there are not that many coincidences in the world.

Ignoring Ji Na's somewhat flustered demeanor, everyone pretended not to know anything.

Wait until breakfast time is over.

Just as everyone was about to set off, Ki suddenly called out to Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Kyosuke, I have witnessed your power, and now I am confident that you can defeat Noshigami..."

"Is it because I made you fried rice?"

"No...no, it's not like that."

Ji blushed and raised her voice slightly in rebuttal.

Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't trying to tease Ki; he genuinely couldn't see where he was displaying any power.

Or is it that he possesses the "domineering aura" that only Ji Cai could see?

"Anyway, take this knife," Ji said, handing a small, grass-green dagger to Kousaka Kyosuke with a slightly embarrassed expression for the first time. "This is a divine weapon that can deal with Noshii-gami. You must use it at the most crucial moment."

"The Noshii Goddess's vitality is inexhaustible, making her virtually immortal. Even when injured, she can heal herself by consuming other things. Therefore, defeating her is easy, but eliminating her is extremely difficult. Only by using this Miscanthus blade that can inflict incurable wounds on her..."

When Ji finally uttered the words "grass knife," his emotions became increasingly chaotic.

She was born after being devoured by the Noshiki spirit through four seasons.

The mother goddess Noshiki forged the sharpest weapon in the world for her by disemboweling her. With this weapon, Noshiki, who was hidden in the world, replaced the hidden Noshiki as the reaper and the one who nurtures the four seasons, wielding the power of creation and destruction.

She was the one who forged the eternal purgatory that once filled the world.

When she finally realized her mistake, she used the weapon given to her by the Noshii God to commit suicide, transferring the excess power of the four seasons to the Noshii God who was about to awaken time and time again...

This "stopgap measure" only ended when a giant gate appeared in the sky—the Six Gates.

Fortunately, a human with the power of a god of execution arrived who could end everything.

In this way, the world's four seasons will soon return to normal.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and slowly took the short sword from Ji's hand.

The faint, familiar scent of blood made him understand what was going on, but he had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, he will do his best to get a satisfactory answer!

"One side of Yanjian Mountain is gone."

Suddenly Kagura said.

Ji, still reminiscing about the past, suddenly changed his expression: "Oh no! Noshii-gami is planning to devour the world again!"

"What's going on? You didn't tell me this," Longkui couldn't help but ask.

“I’m sorry… I haven’t had a chance to say this yet—Norishiki has been devouring everything in this world ever since the Gate of Six Paths descended upon it,” Ji said.

In fact, this was something she deliberately kept hidden.

There was nothing malicious about it; rather, I was still somewhat skeptical of the strength of Kousaka Kyosuke and the others, so I felt I needed to see for myself, lest the group rush over there after saying all this... only to die.

Now that she has witnessed the many mysteries surrounding Kyosuke Kousaka and the others, she is no longer worried.

"It's not moving very fast. Are you worried it's fallen into a deep sleep again?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked.

"That's right. She's not devouring things very quickly, but today it's much faster than in the past few days. If this continues, this world might be destroyed."

"Don't be too hasty. There might be a trap set by Noshii-gami ahead. There's no need to step into it so quickly."
