Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1539

Unfortunately, judging from the situation with Orochi last time, he's probably off plotting some world-destroying scheme again.

I reckon the next time I see him will be when the situation is very critical...

For some reason, Kyosuke Kousaka had this premonition.

"Kyosuke, you must be extra careful," Minamoto no Yorihei instructed Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kousaka Kyosuke nodded to Minamoto no Yorihei, his expression becoming more serious.

This friend, whose presence has been rather subtle since the trial ceremony, has really had a tough time.

He had a powerful older brother, a powerful clansman by his side, and the Fujiwara clan's strategist... He had to frequently interact with all these strong and capable individuals.

With his keen observation, Kyosuke Kosaka had long noticed that Minamoto no Yorihei was somewhat fatigued.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to comfort you now. Let's be close friends after the war is over," Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

"Take care of yourself."

Onikiri speaks concisely, as succinctly as ever.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled at him and said, "You too, don't push yourself too hard."

Previously, when fighting the siren, Onikiri sacrificed himself by using himself as the sword.

However, Minamoto no Yorimitsu certainly didn't want his favorite sword to break, which is why it turned out this way.

There's nothing in the BL (Boys' Love) fantasies about the relationship between the two. From Kousaka Kyosuke's perspective, the relationship between the human and the demon is that of master and servant, as well as special kindred spirits—just a normal one.

"..."

Onikiri didn't reply, but instead showed a rare faint smile. The smile on his usually stern face didn't seem out of place.

Kyosuke Kosaka noticed that Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was next to Onikiri, also looked more gentle.

It really is a great atmosphere.

Unfortunately, things had to continue.

"Are you ready?" Ara, who was preparing to transfer Kousaka Kyosuke, Seimei, and the others into the Six Paths Gate, asked the world where the evil god resided.

He gave everyone time to say goodbye, and now that the goodbyes are over, it's time for everyone to get moving.

"Ready!"

With a confident air, Minamoto no Hiromasa spoke first.

Although he regretted not being able to travel with Kagura, he also felt that he should be with Seimei instead.

Seimei is more skilled in Yin-Yang arts, but not as skilled in martial arts, so he is the most suitable to join. As for Shiro, Minamoto no Hiromasa is still not very confident in him and thinks he is unreliable.

No one is as reliable as Minamoto no Hiromasa!

"Lord Ara, we can begin at any time," Seimei said slowly.

Xiaobai quickly pressed her small body tightly against Qingming's feet, fearing that she would lose contact with Qingming during the teleportation.

"Then, let's begin."

Huang said calmly, and then summoned a gate that was flashing with countless starlight.

As the gate appeared, he continued, "Go in. Inside is the world where the evil god resides. I cannot determine which evil god it is. Everything that follows will depend on your own exploration."

"Please rest assured and leave it to us," Seimei said firmly, then went inside.

Yuan Bojia and Xiaobai quickly followed.

The group of people disappeared very quickly.

Then move on to the next one.

It was Kousaka Kyosuke and his group.

The door opened again, and without saying a word, Kousaka Kyosuke placed the demon sword imbued with Longkui into his soul space, then tightly embraced Kagura and went through the door.

Saying goodbye? Hasn't that already happened? Now we should focus on the future.

Which world is it exactly?

I hope it's not some kind of unbelievable world.

"It's snow."

"...and cherry blossoms."

Looking at the scenery where snowflakes and cherry blossoms intertwined, Kyosuke Kosaka immediately understood from his knowledge of Onmyoji that this must be the world where the evil god "Noshii-gami" resides.

Noshiki-gami, who committed the sin of gluttony, is a gluttonous evil god.

According to records in ancient books.

The spirit of Noshii once swept through the farmland, feasting for three days, and even gave birth to a troublesome demon. It also once encompassed twilight, making March a month of evening glow...

"It's the power of [devouring]... I think so?"

Kousaka Kyosuke thought secretly.

Gods possess important powers that are closely related to their own strength.

That's their most powerful tactic.

If he were to fall victim to this, Kyosuke Kousaka would likely be in serious trouble and die.

On the contrary, Kousaka Kyosuke is not so wary of some other tactics.

Having already attained the strength of an immortal, they possess strong resistance to all kinds of things, and while having powerful vitality, they also have a certain degree of immortality, unless they encounter a terrifying power that involves the laws of nature.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated so easily.

Unfortunately, he has a lot of enemies to fight.

"There are still withered yellow leaves over there, but there are also fresh green leaves and bright... fruits that look delicious."

"That means it's absolutely not safe to eat."

Kyosuke Kosaka lightly touched Kagura's thin pink lips with his finger.

Kagura suddenly snapped out of her daze and immediately looked at the fruit warily.

"That's a fruit that can stimulate a strong appetite; it's probably not something simple."

"Yes, she is a gluttonous evil god. Perhaps the moment you eat the fruit, you will become a hungry ghost under her command."

"Those hungry ghosts..."

Kagura immediately formed an impression.

Previously, the Gates of the Six Paths almost occupied the entire world, which also allowed the evil gods who were once sealed by Amaterasu to descend some of their power into the human world.

These evil gods also used their power to corrupt humans and monsters, turning them into demons, or what might be called the most primal demons.

These demons are naturally stronger than ordinary monsters, and they also have different forms.

Among them are the ox-demon from the underworld, and also hungry ghosts similar to those in the human world. These hungry ghosts really eat people and monsters, and they have a desire to devour any living being they see.

He's one of the more terrifying ones.

That's true, at least for many people.

Suddenly, a clump of bright green grass swayed for a moment.

Kyosuke Kosaka and Kagura's attention was naturally drawn to it, and they immediately saw a small white deer emerging from the grass.

"This……"

Kyosuke Kosaka's lips moved, his mouth twitched, but he simply turned his head away.

With such immense power, he could see through everything. Even Seimei would have difficulty seeing objects conjured by divine power with his spiritual vision—well, what he saw wasn't a deer, but a person, a young girl, a girl with fair and translucent skin all over her body… What kind of plot is this?

"I also brought a set of clothes," Kagura said to the deer.

"..."

471. Season/Evil God's Message/It's Okay

Silence, awkwardness.

This is the atmosphere right now.

On the field are Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura, and... well, maybe a deer.

The deer, with its leisurely posture, suddenly cried out and turned to leave.

With the same eyes that could see through many falsehoods, Kousaka Kyosuke vaguely saw a figure turn around and start running backward.

“This world is very abnormal,” Longkui appeared in a flash, “Out-of-season environment, strange fruits, girls who don’t like to wear clothes…”

Kagura said, "It's not that she doesn't like wearing them, but rather that her power seems insufficient to conjure clothes. She has probably suffered some kind of injury; her divine power is currently weak, and her aura is wavering."

"Huh? She's a god?"

"It should be. She possesses divine power and seems to have the aura of an evil god, but it's not too strong—the specific reason still needs to be investigated."

"Then we should go find her immediately. Once we find her, we should be able to learn about the evil god!"

Longkui immediately replied.
