Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1537

"I'm sorry, Shiro, I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Hiromasa-nii..." Kagura apologized on behalf of Minamoto no Hiromasa.

"There's no need for that! Lady Kagura! This is a matter between Lord Hiromasa and me! It has nothing to do with you!"

"Hey, little dog, are you talking bad about me again?"

Uh.

When Kousaka Kyosuke saw Minamoto no Hiromasa coming over, he felt that this really was a case of "speak of the devil and he shall appear".

Before long, the human and the fox started arguing again. Finally, Yaobikuni called for Shiro to leave, and Kagura also tried to persuade Minamoto no Hiromasa. Only then did this little farce stop.

This kind of thing probably happens often in Seimei's house too, right?

Soon, Kyosuke Kosaka stopped thinking about these things and became concerned about the purpose of Hiromasa Origin's visit.

"Boya, is something the matter now?"

"No... I just came to see you all."

Minamoto no Hiromasa looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with a sullen expression.

What do they take him for? Do they think he's only here to be burdened with heavy responsibilities?

Kousaka Kyosuke noticed Minamoto Hiromasa's speechless expression and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I misunderstood."

"It's nothing..."

Minamoto no Hiromasa wasn't particularly unhappy.

He knew very well that it was thanks to Kyosuke Kousaka's repeated efforts to turn the tide that the current situation was not too bad.

Although Minamoto no Hiromasa knew that everyone's efforts were equally important, he understood even more that only with the existence of Kousaka Kyosuke, a power capable of directly confronting the evil god, could their efforts bear fruit.

Otherwise, all their efforts will be in vain.

“Since you’re here, Hiromasa, let’s chat casually,” Kousaka Kyosuke said proactively.

Whether or not Kagura was by his side, he was always very enthusiastic towards his brother-in-law, Minamoto no Hiromasa.

"So what shall we talk about? I'm only interested in combat and archery. How about we have an archery contest?"

"Let's just talk... For example, what are your thoughts on the future? I can tell you mine too."

"That sounds great—I'll say it first: after this great battle is over, I'm going to continue training everywhere and strive to become stronger!"

Minamoto no Hiromasa began to speak with great enthusiasm.

When Kagura went missing, he worked hard to become stronger in order to find her. His family didn't say anything, and he continued to search for her while getting stronger.

Now Kagura has found someone and has someone to rely on.

Minamoto no Hiromasa naturally let go, and is now considering his future.

"Is that so...? It would be good to visit Father and Mother occasionally as well," Kyosuke Kosaka thoughtfully suggested.

He had already agreed to take Kagura to the Central Plains, and he couldn't just break his promise.

Therefore, Kagura would not be able to easily see her parents during that period.

Kagura must have her own considerations regarding this situation, so Kyosuke Kousaka can only try his best to resolve some of the follow-up issues.

"We still need to consider Kagura's parents' feelings..."

Let's look at it from an objective perspective.

The parents are naturally worried because their daughter is going to accompany her husband to a foreign country that has reportedly been embroiled in war for many years and where the situation is currently uncertain.

Worrying is one thing, but then there's the fact that your only son has disappeared again, which is heartbreaking no matter how you look at it.

"Don't worry, I've already discussed this with my parents!"

"May I ask?"

Looking at Minamoto no Hiromasa's confident demeanor, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that it was somewhat similar to Shiro's earlier appearance.

Kagura, who was sitting next to Kyosuke Kousaka, also spoke up.

"I am also very curious."

"There's not much to say, really. I just need to specify where I'm going, when I'll be back, and how often I'll send letters..."

Minamoto no Hiromasa said it without any hesitation.

Kousaka Kyosuke listened quietly and realized that Kagura's parents had arranged everything perfectly for Minamoto no Hiromasa!

"I never would have guessed that these two had such... strong personalities."

For some inexplicable reason, Kousaka Kyosuke seemed to see himself and Kagura returning to this place, perhaps discovering that Minamoto no Hiromasa had already married and had children.

He even worried that Minamoto no Hiromasa might be alone for the rest of his life.

Now you don't need to think like that anymore. With such good parents, how could you possibly be single?

In a modern setting, Minamoto no Hiromasa would be a man from a well-off family with controlling parents, who enjoys doing his hobbies and doesn't like to work.

What's frightening is that this man himself is quite capable as well.

If this were a game anime, he would probably have to be an important supporting male character, right?

Oh, right, Minamoto no Hiromasa is the second male lead in the world of Onmyoji!

"And what about you?" After saying so much, Minamoto no Hiromasa asked about Kousaka Kyosuke's situation.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I have some business to attend to in Tang China, and it will probably take some time before I can return."

"...You're going to take Kagura with you?"

"Yes, I will protect her."

"...I want to go there too."

After hesitating for a second or two, Minamoto no Hiromasa said this.

Kyosuke Kosaka muttered to himself, "I knew it!"

He said he was going to the Central Plains, and Yaobikuni said she would go with him. Minamoto no Hiromasa also went along; I doubt only Seimei would do that.

After all, Seimei had dedicated his life to Kyoto and the "coexistence of humans and demons." He would not easily leave Japan until he achieved this goal or achieved it perfectly.

Unlike these two.

Yaobikuni really just had a tourist mentality, wanting to see what it's like in foreign countries.

Minamoto no Hiromasa was similar, and he was probably still worried about Kagura's safety.

Kyosuke Kosaka then said, "If you can convince your father and mother, I won't mind."

He can guarantee it!

My parents-in-law will absolutely not give Minamoto no Hiromasa a chance to leave!

Judging from Minamoto no Hiromasa's description alone, he knew that these two had a strong desire for control. Minamoto no Hiromasa's departure in the past was probably just an accident, but now it was absolutely impossible for him to escape under their noses!

"Good! You said it yourself!" Minamoto no Hiromasa was very pleased to see that Kousaka Kyosuke did not object.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself, "You're getting ahead of yourself."

Based on his experience...

The father-in-law and mother-in-law have a hundred ways to fool Minamoto no Hiromasa first. Once he and Kagura leave, how can Minamoto no Hiromasa chase after them so easily?

If that's the case, they probably have other ideas.

all in all.

Kyosuke Kosaka did not take what Hiromasa Minamoto's words to heart.

Some time passed.

Shiro and Yaobikuni brought over a number of yokai, and Kousaka Kyosuke continued to busy himself.

When Xiaobai arrived, she said with lingering fear that a demon had directly fallen and started causing destruction. Fortunately, Yaobikuni was there, otherwise many things would have been destroyed...

See, this is the result of setting a goal?

Although Xiaobai didn't say it was obvious, his confident demeanor pretty much said it was.

Finally, throughout the rest of the day, Kyosuke Kousaka spent his time healing the monsters, and unexpectedly discovered that his healing methods had become much more diverse.

This is why practical experience is so important, isn't it?

Day 505 of crossing

Kousaka Kyosuke answered Ara's call and went to his side.

Ara looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with a serious expression.

"Kyosuke, this time you and Seimei will split up and go to the worlds where the evil gods reside to eliminate them..."

"I have no problem with that, but how about Seimei?"

"I will take Shiro and Minamoto no Hiromasa with me."

Seimei spoke up for Ara.

Kyosuke Kosaka asked, "Aren't Yaobikuni coming along?"

It would be safer to have more main characters; he was still a little worried about leaving only Seimei, the most important main character.
