Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1532

As for what weaknesses? Achilles' heel?

That's wishful thinking!

Even before he became an immortal, Kyosuke Kousaka could easily find and kill people from a great distance using various methods.

Besides, I'm getting stronger and stronger now.

"Although thinking like this might seem arrogant, using strength to solve the problem is the best method. Besides, I'm a very law-abiding person. The fact that someone would make me take action shows that they're not a decent person..."

Kyosuke Kousaka's thoughts are more wild than ever before, and he is becoming less and less reserved.

It wasn't that he was arrogant and domineering, but rather that he believed this was the kind of attitude needed at this time, to make people wary.

Kindness is often taken advantage of.

This is a famous quote!

His every move is enough to make people think a lot.

"Kyosuke, everything will be alright. I will protect everyone." Kagura said softly, her tone revealing a strong sense of determination.

Yaobikuni smiled and said, "I'll help too. Then, Kyosuke-san can get some of the yokai who received your favors to lend a hand, and you'll have everyone ready to lend a hand!"

"Don't say that outside..." Kousaka Kyosuke was speechless.

If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear this, he would probably strike first.

Although he doesn't care about others' fears, he still has what others see as a "weakness," or vulnerability, but to him it's all a joke.

Of course, to avoid trouble, he would resolve all the troubles as soon as possible.

This is his true personality.

He had originally planned to slack off, but since no one gave him that chance, he had no choice but to take drastic measures.

Perhaps influenced by Yaobikuni's words, Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but think of a solution.

In his view, there is no problem that cannot be solved by overwhelming force.

The question is how to solve it.

"Mr. Kyosuke, what have you thought of?" Yaobikuni suddenly asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I've got it. Moving from Kyoto is the most time-saving and labor-saving option."

This was the idea he had in mind from the very beginning.

This was also a backup plan he had devised for his partners, provided that he was unfortunately killed by Yamata no Orochi...

Now.

Perhaps it's time to put this idea back into consideration.

Especially after hearing Yaobikuni mention her fame, he felt it was better to do the same.

Otherwise, they might have to kill many people later... If humanity survives the invasion of the evil gods, but fails to survive the struggle between humans, that would be ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, this would inevitably betray the ideals of Amaterasu, Susanoo, Ara, and others.

Having received so much care from these gods, Kyosuke Kousaka felt it best to take a step back.

Besides, my partners are kind girls, why should they be exposed to too much darkness?

"Move to the Tang Kingdom..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Yaobikuni with a rare expression of surprise, as if to say, "Are you serious?"

Moving to the Tang Kingdom is such a terrible and outrageous move!

This should definitely be moved to another country with a different command system!

Otherwise, following his vassals would probably make him a vagrant, which would be a terrible thing to do. Why would Kousaka Kyosuke do that?

"Just kidding." Yaobikuni's subtle expression turned into a teasing smile.

She didn't have a comprehensive understanding of matters concerning the nobility, but she was well aware that many people in the world cared deeply about their own interests.

Identity, status, reputation, money, power...

Too much profit has caused many people to change, gradually becoming different from their former selves, and eventually completely transforming into another person.

This may seem like a digression, but Yaobikuni was well aware of what it meant for Kousaka Kyosuke to move from Kyoto, the most prosperous capital, to another place.

After arriving in Kyoto, she heard that the officials in Kyoto were much more noble than those in other places.

Therefore, those who follow Kousaka Kyosuke's subordinates are probably very unwilling, right?

This is something you can easily figure out just by thinking about it.

However, Yaobikuni also understood that Kousaka Kyosuke wouldn't care about such a question.

“It’s too far ahead to talk about this,” Kousaka Kyosuke said again. “Like I said, let’s talk about it after this is over.”

According to the storyline of "Onmyoji", this world seems to be "reset".

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that this was almost impossible, but there was still a slight possibility...?

Therefore, he temporarily put his idea of ​​moving on hold.

Now, I'm just saying this to slightly change the subject, so that the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis won't say they want to go to Tang again, which would be very troublesome.

He didn't go there for sightseeing.

After a while, Yaobikuni bid farewell and left.

She had only been gone a short while when Longkui floated out of the demon sword.

"Kyosuke, I have a better way to deal with those threats! It can solve them once and for all!"

"Mute".

Kousaka Kyosuke lightly touched Longkui's lips with his finger, preventing the girl, whose emotions were clearly running high, from speaking.

He probably guessed what Longkui wanted to say.

"Ah wu..."

A sound like the mournful cry of a small animal rang out.

Kousaka Kyosuke remained unmoved, raising his chin to signal Kagura to take Longkui away.

"Longkui, I'll take you to eat some delicious snacks."

"Don't treat me like a child..."

And so, Longkui was taken away by Kagura.

Kyosuke Kousaka found some peace and quiet, and then picked up the pages of the book of insights given to him by Susanoo and began to read them carefully.

The pages were probably made of some special sacred wood, and what was written inside was not ordinary writing, but rather strange runes like talismans.

With just one glance, Kyosuke Kosaka saw many things.

This is the most precious gift that Susanoo gave him free of charge.

"I will protect Japan, and I will protect the people here... Please rest assured, Lord Susanoo, Lord Amaterasu..."

A faint sigh.

Kyosuke Kousaka continued to carefully perceive the power he had just gained.

Day 503 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka was not staying in his residence.

Today, he made an appointment with Minamoto no Yorimitsu to go and check on the Kyoto protective barrier together.

He also understands.

Despite having to rely on the gods for help, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who believed even more in his own power, was unwilling to place his complete trust in them.

In response, Kyosuke Kosaka could only offer his support; he couldn't very well oppose it, could he?

Accompanying them were Kagura, Yaobikuni, and Onikiri. Kagura was his bound partner, Yaobikuni was someone who assisted with divination, and Onikiri... was probably Minamoto no Yorimitsu's bound accessory. That's the gist of it.

"Hey, Lord Raikou, why are you going off-track? Why are you leaving Kyoto altogether?"

Kousaka Kyosuke, who was still walking with Minamoto no Yorimitsu, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled as calmly as ever: "I forgot to tell you, this time we also need to survey the threats around Kyoto first, so that we can allocate the resources for protection reasonably."

Kousaka Kyosuke glanced in the direction and immediately made a guess.

"So, where are we going next—?"

"Youkai Market."

467. Kuro Seimei's refusal / What happened? What happened?

Monster Market.

This is the refuge of many weak monsters, both then and now.

However, even many powerful monsters have died in the tide of "nothingness" or fallen into demonic ways under the invasion of evil gods and sins, so it goes without saying that these weak monsters are even more vulnerable.
