Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"In short, I sympathize with your many years of loneliness, but I find it difficult to empathize with you much. Of course, I will try my best to comfort you as your current sword master."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Longkui immediately had a bad feeling.

Half an hour later, Longkui forced a smile and...

They met girls who could all form an army...

441. Protagonist of the Era / Support from All Sides / Inspection

Day 490 of crossing

That is, the day after I met Longkui.

Kyosuke Kousaka had already begun using the power crystals given to him by Enma as a whetstone to further refine the demon sword.

While Japan may not possess many high-grade natural treasures, its rich heritage in the realm of demons and monsters is truly unique.

The power crystal was forged from the flesh and souls of countless demons and ghosts, making it a perfect match for the Demon Sword.

The Demon Sword.

It was specially made by Kousaka Kyosuke by chance after obtaining a mysterious handscroll.

Just like the original novel "Chinese Paladin".

As a living sword, it can transform hatred, resentment, and fighting spirit into the power of its wielder.

Logically speaking, this is indeed very "demonic".

But Kyosuke Kousaka uses it to kill the Celestial Dragons and gods, which is the righteous path.

"You'll have to bear the pain a bit."

"I can endure any pain! I will wipe out all those gods who ride roughshod over humans!"

"I have no problem with using hatred as motivation, but don't let it blind you."

"I see……"

Longkui did not refute.

She understood all too well just how powerful the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Realm was. She knew that even if she were to rebel again, she would at least need the power to contend with the Heavenly Emperor.

"The best preparation is to fight the Yamata no Orochi first."

How powerful is he?

Longkui was more concerned about this.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied without hesitation, "His strength is not much weaker than the Heavenly Emperor's, and he may even be more difficult to deal with."

"Perhaps even more difficult to deal with than the Heavenly Emperor..." Having been taught by Kyosuke Kousaka since she was a timid princess, Longkui was quite perceptive and immediately considered the most likely possibility: "Is Yamata no Orochi the 'protagonist' of this era??"

When Kousaka Kyosuke met Long Kui's gaze, which finally revealed a look of astonishment, he nodded slightly.

"It's basically certain, so to win this time we need to be even more united. However, this country has a rather unique culture, so you need to be as careful with your words and actions as possible."

"You mean you have a strong servile nature?"

"...There's no way to refute it, but they all seem to be adapting very well, so we don't need to go looking for trouble."

“I didn’t pay much attention to that; I just thought it was pretty amazing.”

Longkui was not overly surprised by the fact that the lower classes in Japan were more subservient.

After all, although the country that Kousaka Kyosuke established before was somewhat democratic, everyone actually listened to Kousaka Kyosuke. Isn't that a similar phenomenon?

Even she is like that, so there's no need to say more.

"Okay, get ready..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A series of footsteps followed by a knock on the door.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

The sound came from Su Chang.

Having only known each other for about a day, Longkui was already quite impressed with this girl who was no less skilled in martial arts than her, only slightly inferior in strength.

The main thing is that her energetic posture and her exquisite figure are really too eye-catching, no, it should be said that she is dazzling.

boom.

Kyosuke Kosaka went to open the door and saw Su Chang, who was clearly in a hurry.

"Lord Kyosuke, Lord Ara just sent you the materials for forging a sword, saying that you should need them, so I came to find you immediately."

"Good job, otherwise it could cause a lot of trouble later."

Kousaka Kyosuke was quite pleased, as he hadn't expected Ara to give him such a big surprise.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to pat Su Chang on the head after her long journey.

"whee……"

Su Chang, enjoying the comfort, had a face full of happiness.

She was very happy to see that Kousaka Kyosuke had recovered quickly and received strong support from everyone.

“Oh right—I almost forgot, Kyosuke-sama, these are the materials that Ara-sama gave you… Ah, Longkui, I’m sorry, I was in too much of a hurry just now.”

After regaining her senses, Su Chang gave the sword-forging materials that Huang had brought to Kosaka Kyosuke, and at the same time finally noticed Long Kui standing to the side.

Longkui didn't mind: "It's okay. In fact, I should thank you. Otherwise, I might have suffered even more."

"Don't worry, Lord Kyosuke will definitely not let you suffer too much pain."

Su Chang said with great certainty.

To be honest, Su Chang was very grateful for Long Kui's appearance.

It was the appearance of Longkui that gave Kousaka Kyosuke the weapon to unleash his full potential.

In this way, it will no longer be necessary to continuously burn blood essence to create "blood swords".

“Yes, I know that too,” Longkui said with a gentle smile. “Lord Kyosuke is a kind person.”

Kyosuke Kosaka got goosebumps; he almost had a stress reaction.

On the one hand, he feels very uncomfortable when people praise him for being gentle.

On the other hand, he was also uncomfortable with Longkui's smile.

At first, Longkui was a gentle girl, but now she's a tomboy. And then, the real tomboy suddenly pretends to be a gentle girl—that's incredibly captivating...

Considering that his emotions might show on his face, Kyosuke Kosaka began to unpack the box and ponder the materials Ara had given him.

"Lord Ara has left?"

"Yes, Lord Ara left after delivering the gifts, unwilling to stay as a guest. However, Lord Inari, who accompanied him, stayed behind, saying that he wanted to infuse some of the collected spiritual vein power into our land."

Su Chang became even happier when she talked about it.

After all, the yield of crops harvested on the manor was decreasing day by day, and the difference was getting bigger and bigger, while many people still needed to eat, and the stored food would definitely be eaten up in a while...

Unexpectedly, the Inari deity took the initiative to solve this problem.

"The power of the spiritual veins?" Kousaka Kyosuke chuckled. "It seems our logistical support here is not a problem for the time being. I just hope things are going well in Kyoto as well."

They also recruited many people in Kyoto, several times more than at the manor.

The thought terrified Kousaka Kyosuke. Luckily, he was currently injured and had a reason to stay here temporarily, otherwise he would probably be facing this headache.

Currently, the people handling this issue are Fujiwara no Michitsuna and Minamoto no Yorihira.

Kyosuke Kosaka could already imagine that they might already be losing their hair.

Ultimately, "even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice," but it's not impossible—Kyoto is the place with the strongest spiritual energy in the country, and planting those crops modified by the Inari God should be enough to sustain many people until the Yamata no Orochi is defeated.

It all depends on whether the powerful and wealthy in Kyoto are willing or not.

In fact, Kyosuke Kosaka thought they had better agree, because the top-ranking gods still harbored affection for humanity.

However, if these humans continue to scheme against each other, then this goodwill will likely be gradually eroded.

No matter how you look at it, or whoever it is, they will suffer a great loss.

The current situation is very complicated.

The Yamata no Orochi is preparing to further reshape the world, while other evil gods who can only partially descend are causing all sorts of trouble, in addition to the erosion of "nothingness," the pollution of miasma... and finally, there is the "backstabbing" from Takamagahara.

Hmm, the pseudo-god king Tsukuyomi will probably take action soon.

Now the leader of Takamagahara, he simply doesn't want Amaterasu, Susanoo, and others to appear, and even has some cooperation with Yamata no Orochi...

If Kyosuke Kousaka hadn't been completely without evidence, he would have dealt with this guy long ago.

However, killing a god is a taboo subject in Japan.

Kyosuke Kousaka secretly prepared to seal Tsukuyomi, since he would have to give up his power in the end anyway.
