Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1463

Some women, like Miharu, were still staring blankly at the scene, not even having reacted yet.

She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, feeling somewhat sad: "Kyosuke-sama just woke up and he already has to go back to work? I know it's his duty and obligation, but this is too much to ask of him..."

Mafuyu didn't cry; instead, she showed a very mature and rational side.

“Some urgent matters cannot be delayed at all. As Kyosuke-sama just said, both Higanbana and Aohime are in considerable trouble, so it is only right that Kyosuke-sama go to help them as soon as he wakes up.”

"I believe he will know his limits, and when his strength is insufficient, he will send Kagura and Yaodao-hime to provide support. Therefore, all we need to do now is prepare for Lord Kyosuke's upcoming return."

As she spoke, Mafuyu also patted Miharu's head, just like Kousaka Kyosuke had done.

Nino gently comforted her, "Miharu-neechan, when Kyosuke-sama comes back, he'll say we can't sleep after eating. Until then, let's all work hard together."

Upon hearing this, Miharu couldn't help but look at Nino with hopeful eyes.

"You want to make a loving meal for Kyosuke-sama with me?"

Nino guiltily avoided Miharu's gaze: "Isn't the kitchen always my responsibility? Miharu-neechan, do something else, I can manage on my own."

She was telling the truth.

With her current ability to easily prepare meals for dozens of people on her own, preparing meals for Kousaka Kyosuke by herself would be more than enough.

“Nino isn’t alone; I’ll be her assistant,” Miku corrected.

Nino said, "Then I'll go cook..."

As she spoke, Nino dashed towards the kitchen as if she were running away, with Miku jogging after her.

Many of those who remained looked at each other in bewilderment.

“It’s not just about cooking. Kneeling and quietly waiting for Kyosuke-sama to return is also something that makes him very happy.”

After thinking for a moment, Mafuyu comforted the others in this way.

Miharu, who rarely argues with her older sister, remarked, "I don't think this kind of thing will happen..."

"Ah, really?"

"Yes."

"Eh……"

Mafuyu turned to others for help.

Yukino had to say, "Just wait for Kyosuke-sama in a relaxed manner. Being too formal might put a lot of pressure on him. He doesn't like all sorts of rules and regulations."

"That seems to be true... I forgot about that for a moment." Mafuyu tried hard not to make her expression look flustered.

Those familiar with Mafuyu were already used to it.

Kiryuin Fuka thought to herself, "Actually, being in such a daze will make Kyosuke-sama very excited."

Because they were quite open with each other and didn't hold back in their private conversations, Kiryuin Fuuka, who hadn't known Kousaka Kyosuke for very long, still had a good understanding of him.

At least this kind of personality can definitely be seen as "cute" by men, and Kyosuke Kousaka would definitely like it very much.

The so-called cuteness is something that can be shown without deliberately trying.

A performance like Mafuyu's is an example.

"Yes, I'll go and inform Madam Suyi and the others immediately..."

Kikyo Kushida, who was still somewhat dazed, quickly came to her senses and spoke.

Yes, she also came here voluntarily to keep Kyosuke Kosaka company.

The two were already very close, so sleeping together wasn't a big deal.

After all, Kikyo Kushida also hoped that Kyosuke Kousaka could wake up soon and deal with some matters that he had to agree to or refuse.

Regarding the current situation of the manor, ever since Orochi projected his vision of destroying the world, many people have witnessed the heroic scene of Kyosuke Kousaka fighting against him.

Because of this, many people regard Kyosuke Kousaka as a hero who can save the world.

Hmm, since this morning, many humans and even monsters have come to the manor... This has put a lot of burden on the manor, and it's troublesome to refuse them.

The person in charge, Su Yi, was under a lot of pressure.

With these thoughts in mind, Kikyo Kushida quickened her pace, hoping to finish reporting the matter and then continue helping with other tasks.

She stopped worrying about Kyosuke Kousaka.

In the end, it's good to know that Kyosuke Kousaka is safe and sound.

the other side.

Having already reached the Styx region of the underworld, Kyosuke Kousaka found the Spider Lily and Aohime.

The two did not come to support the trial ceremony yesterday, but they still contributed most of the efforts.

If it weren't for the contract between Kousaka Kyosuke and them, which allowed them to perceive Kousaka Kyosuke's basic condition, they would certainly have gone to the manor to visit him.

"It's truly pitiful. Many spirits from the mortal realm are rushing towards the underworld, but the underworld itself is struggling to survive."

As always, the other shore flower spoke in a somewhat ambiguous tone, still giving off a provocative feeling.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost wanted to slap her a few times.

No, we need to consider the occasion.

"So you're just going to stand here and watch? Hide from those 'nothingness' like you're playing a game?"

"You're not saying all this to make me sort out some of the already messy Sanzu River, are you? I don't have that ability."

"...I didn't mean it that way. I just hope you won't suddenly say anything to the undead like 'I will make you bloom forever.' Just fool yourself. These undead don't have any judgment right now. If you talk to them, they can only choose you."

Kyosuke Kosaka eventually tried to persuade him.

At this moment, the underworld is receiving special attention from "nothingness," and many rules are no longer functioning, causing the dead to scatter and their will to weaken due to the influence of the environment.

Then, the red spider lily went to contact them, which was no different from taking advantage of their vulnerability.

The reason is that those souls still have the option of choosing Yama.

Once Yama rebuilds the underworld, there will be no need to choose the spider lily, which is supposedly for eternal life but is actually just indulging in a beautiful dream.

"Are you trying to interfere with my choice? A man who wants to break his promise."

Higanbana squinted her eyes and tapped Kousaka Kyosuke's lips with her slender white fingers.

"Enough!" Qingji nudged the waist of the spider lily with her head and shouted, "Kyosuke just woke up, I absolutely won't allow you to continue treating him so rudely!"

Kousaka Kyosuke grunted and raised his hand to stop Aohime from continuing to push the spider lily on her head like an ox.

"I'm doing very well right now, so you don't need to worry."

Pat her on the head to comfort her, then increase the intensity!

In just a few breaths, Qingji let out a familiar, comfortable groan.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Menreiki asked, "What promise?"

Lianhua said, "I'm curious too."

Kyosuke Kosaka remained silent, thinking to himself, "I didn't bring you here out of curiosity."

The red spider lily smiled and said, "You'd have to ask the person involved."

laugh!

Aohime gave a disdainful smile: "This woman said she wants Kyosuke's soul after he dies."

Look, this wicked woman is already cursing her man to die.

Upon hearing this, Menreiki and Lianhua immediately had their own opinions.

However, both of them understood that the spider lily was just "acting cute"—after all, if Kousaka Kyosuke failed in his battle against Orochi, his soul would be destroyed as well.

No one believed that the evil god Yamata no Orochi would show mercy.

Therefore, it's not entirely wrong for Kousaka Kyosuke to have volunteered to die in order to break his promise to the spider lily.

"So what should we do now? Spider Lily, you have nowhere to land if 'Nothingness' continues like this..."

Menreiki asked about the method for obtaining the other shore flower.

She didn't dwell on the topic that Kyosuke Kosaka and Higanbana had discussed, but instead asked about another issue that should be of more concern at the moment.

"Oh, you've hit the nail on the head. Most of the Sanzu River has collapsed and is no longer a suitable place for the dead to stay. Even I can no longer settle on its edge. I am now homeless."

Despite saying she was homeless, the expression on the other shore flower remained natural and composed, showing almost no change.

Kyosuke Kosaka could sense a hint of desolation in the spider lily, which he understood. After living in a place for countless years, a sudden and drastic change had left him feeling utterly overwhelmed.

"This is actually related to 'nothingness' as well. I'll ask the divine messenger of Takamagahara later if there's a way to resolve this. If anything changes, I'll do my best to protect this place. Even if it's impossible, I'll protect a small section of the Sanzu River..."

Kyosuke Kosaka took the initiative to hold the hand of the spider lily.

He didn't have the low emotional intelligence to say things like "My home is your home".

To say it out loud would be tantamount to ignoring the Sanzu River, where the spider lilies have lived for many years, as if it were garbage, similar to looking down on someone else's house, which is extremely rude.

Therefore, what should be done at this time is to try to remedy the situation.

"They don't concern themselves with matters of the mortal realm, but they're quite active in matters of the underworld," the spider lily smiled.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I'm doing alright over there, otherwise I might not be able to keep an eye on things here."
