"Why don't you just go and see for yourself if you really want to understand?" Lianhua said.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "It's too much trouble for her. It's better to take good care of her after she comes back from work."

"I suddenly want to go back to work..."

"By the way, I hope your job is something you want to do."

Kyosuke Kousaka raised his hand and patted Renka's head.

Lianhua said, "I want to be held; it feels very comfortable."

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent; she always felt that there was something unhealthy hidden in Renka's head.

For some reason, Kousaka Kyosuke recalled that when the Lotus Mirror absorbed the yin energy of vengeful spirits, there was a considerable chance that it would also absorb their memories. He felt that this was something he needed to be careful about.

"When you are absorbing Yin energy, do not casually browse through those people's memories; that would be very impolite."

"...I understand, hug."

Renka raised her hands to Kousaka Kyosuke.

With a sigh, Kyosuke Kousaka reached out and took it.

Menreiki and Kagura watched silently, offering no comment.

Having been hugged by Kyosuke Kousaka so many times, the two of them naturally didn't react to Renka's request and even took it for granted.

"Kyosuke~ I've come to find you~"

Suddenly, joyful shouts came from quite a distance.

Kyosuke Kosaka froze, feeling his heart skip a beat.

In that instant, a whole host of thoughts flashed through his mind... This is bad!

however.

A beautiful woman with small wings adorning her head trotted over, her movements as graceful as willow catkins dancing in the breeze, a dreamlike beauty.

Kyosuke Kosaka found himself almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Why did he come at this time?

"Huh? Lianhua, you guys..."

The beautiful woman, Kinnara, jogged over, staring blankly at Kousaka Kyosuke and Renka.

"Kinnara." ×2

Kagura and Menreiki greeted each other almost in unison.

Kinnara gave the two of them a bright smile: "Hello everyone..."

After saying that, he stared intently at Kyosuke Kosaka, like a child begging for candy.

Lianhua instinctively hugged Kousaka Kyosuke tightly.

"It's Kyosuke-sama and Renka's time now, you'll have to wait at least an hour."

"This is outrageous!" Kousaka Kyosuke exclaimed.

Kinnara nodded: "So it takes this long to sit here."

"Don't absorb strange knowledge!"

"How long will you be sitting here?"

"I do not know either……"

Kyosuke Kousaka was already feeling a bit tired. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Kagura and Menreiki, only to see the two adorable girls staring at him with their cute, blinking eyes.

Is the timing of this cutesy behavior a bit off?

Kyosuke Kousaka is really going to become the tsukkomi (straight man) role.

“I’m going to sit here no matter what,” Kinnara said seriously. “Renka is your shikigami, and so am I, so it has to be fair.”

Kyosuke Kousaka met those innocent eyes and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

To be honest, he's the kind of person who acts on his impulses.

But Kinara is special. This shikigami doesn't seem to have much affection for him, and treats him more like a master. Therefore, Kousaka Kyosuke doesn't want to trample on such pure feelings.

The problem is, he's a man!

Kyosuke Kosaka really didn't want to be asked questions by Kinnara about whether he was wearing a stick or something.

"This is so agonizing, why does Kinnara still have such a great figure..."

Kyosuke Kosaka muttered to himself, not intending to refuse outright.

Refusing will only cause more trouble; it's better to think about how to control recoil.

"Did you come here to see me about something?"

“I recruited a girl in Kyoto who is very good at playing the six-string guitar, but she said she would be even better at playing another instrument, so I thought I would ask you to make it.”

What instrument is it?

"The horn needs to be made of copper. The girl said she'll pay for the materials, and she just hopes to find a skilled craftsman. What a good girl..."

Kinnara clasped his hands together, his face filled with emotion.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, thought that the newly recruited person must be from the modern era.

"What is your name?"

"Rina."

"Ah."

Kyosuke Kosaka responded and silently searched for information in the sealed memories in his mind.

That Tang Dynasty cultivator was a great help, allowing him to find basic information about the transmigrators in Japan anytime, anywhere.

"Kousaka? Reina? We share the same surname, what a coincidence. A trumpet player? I see. She looks familiar, could she be the heroine from an anime?"

Kyosuke Kosaka recalled some information about anime series he had seen. He vaguely remembered an anime about playing the trumpet, and he remembered wanting to watch it but forgetting to.

Unfortunately, it would be much more interesting to watch the show if you knew the plot beforehand.

“There are also design drawings here!” Kinnara took out another piece of paper from his sleeve.

Kyosuke Kosaka accepted the offer: "Have her come in person, otherwise how will I know if the instruments I made suit her taste?"

Kinnara: "That's what I think too~"

"I'm really curious what kind of instrument it is; it must be very interesting," Menreiki said.

"It's called a horn, but it doesn't resemble a flute at all..."

Kagura leaned over to look at the musical instrument manufacturing blueprints that Kousaka Kyosuke had spread out, and shared her opinion.

Lianhua: "It's all about blowing with your mouth, that's for sure~"

"Judging from its construction, it's a very loud instrument. Look here, as long as you put your lips to it, vibrating your lips will cause the air inside the tube to vibrate and produce sound..."

Having experience in making musical instruments, Kyosuke Kousaka gestured with great interest as he explained the blueprints. The cute women around him curiously peered at the drawings, and seeing this, Kyosuke Kousaka tried even harder to impress them.

“Speaking of which, this painting ability is truly remarkable.” Menreiki discovered another problem.

Kinnara let out an "oh," looking as if he had just realized something.

"Yes! I just realized that the way this drawing is done is quite ingenious. It depicts the internal and external structure of the instrument in such detail. If you look carefully, you can understand it."

Lianhua: "If it is handed over to a craftsman, it should be possible to make it."

Kyosuke Kosaka: "That's not necessarily true. The thickness of the flute wall can affect the tone of an ordinary flute, let alone this one."

Menreiki: "That means it seems that making a satisfactory horn is much more difficult than imagined."

Kagura: "As long as Kyosuke makes it, there will definitely be no problem."

Kinnara: "Mmm~ That's what I think too~"

Renka: "Lord Kyosuke is omnipotent!"

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent. When did he become all-powerful?

About half an hour.

Kyosuke Kosaka was holding Kinnara while looking at the scenery... well, he was much taller than the petite Renka, so he couldn't see anything.

At noon.

Kyosuke Kosaka and his many companions had a meal together, chatting as they ate. The sweet potatoes were about to be transported away, and a large amount of resources such as money, food, and iron would be sent over as payment. It was a happy occasion and worth celebrating.

If it were evening, Kyosuke Kosaka would be hosting an even bigger banquet.

Just when he thought the happy days would continue, the sudden darkening of the sky instantly stopped Kousaka Kyosuke's appetite.

"We've eaten enough, everyone, let's get ready to go."

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Yaodao-hime, Hakuro, Yingcao, Yama-usagi, and the others who had only rested for a few days, his eyes filled with apology.

What's coming will come; it's time to officially prepare for battle.
