Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1216

The Moon People in the Moon Palace have finished cleaning up; it's time to welcome their true master.

I just hope that Kaguya-hime, who seems to have a very strong sense of responsibility, won't have to work so hard.

at dusk.

During the meal, Kyosuke Kosaka talked to the others about his schedule.

"What is the Moon Palace like?"

Chitanda was always the most inquisitive of them all, and her large purple eyes were already shining.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's exactly like the legend. Although it has magnificent and solemn palaces, the so-called 'gods' who live inside are really hard to describe."

Shizuko asked, "So, what did Lord Kyosuke do?"

She had only recently heard about the story of the Moon People, so she was even more curious about how Kousaka Kyosuke would treat them.

Kyosuke Kosaka hesitated for a moment before answering:

"I spent some time teaching them what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame meant, and in the end, none of them kept shouting about being 'emotionless and desireless' or 'pure and tranquil.'"

Su Chang frowned slightly.

"Without emotion or desire? A wondrously pure body? That sounds more like nonsense. I remember the story saying that these false gods were merely beings born from human desires; wouldn't it be more accurate to call them monsters?"

Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and said, "Yes, they call themselves gods, but the very origin of their birth has already determined their category."

God? False God?

It would be more appropriate to call it a monster of desire.

"I hate people who can't tell the situation from the bottom. At the very least, I'll slap them to wake them up."

Su Chang pouted again.

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent for a moment, then said, "We really are husband and wife."

"There should be a chance to go to the Moon Palace in the future, you can look forward to it."

Nino said, "Then, Kyosuke-sama, you'd better be careful this time."

"Yes, this time the troubles have actually been resolved... no, not entirely resolved."

Kyosuke Kosaka then thought of another question.

That is the "dark side of the moon".

The Lunarians feed on desires, yet they ignore the moon's desires, which leads to a backlash.

As things stand, Princess Kaguya would have to protect these people and then fall into a deep sleep for a while...

Thinking about this, Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to sacrifice these Moon People.

If sacrificing himself could solve the problem, he wouldn't mind doing it.

Unfortunately, it's not possible.

"Does Lord Kyosuke need any help?" Su Chang asked eagerly.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply nodded.

"Then Su Chang, you and Kagura come over. You can help deal with some unexpected crises."

The dark side of the moon could erupt at any time; it might even erupt the moment Kaguya comes into contact with it.

It would be more reassuring to bring Kagura with me.

Of course, Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't just say that Kagura was all he needed.

Otherwise, Su Chang would be heartbroken.

Furthermore, Su Chang is indeed very capable in all aspects, except that she is not good at magic.

"Lord Kyosuke, perhaps you should reconsider before setting off?"

Miku made the suggestion.

Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke seemed to be making careless mistakes in matters of combat, she began to worry.

"It's nothing much. The main threat to the Moon Palace this time is the dark side of the moon. From what I understand, those moon people feed on wishes and ignore the moon's wishes..."

Kyosuke Kosaka then proceeded to explain.

Dangerous? Not at all.

Otherwise, he would definitely pay a lot of attention to it.

At the moment, Kyosuke Kousaka is simply thinking about how to protect Princess Kaguya in the safest way possible.

"Won't the Moon People be a problem?" Yukino asked as well.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I have a clone over there who is keeping a close eye on them."

This time, I used a regular paper doll to create a clone.

The real-time connection to the consciousness clone is too mentally taxing, and while its strength isn't great, it's extremely well-hidden and used for real-time monitoring.

However, the Lunarians are too weak, so there's no need for such trouble.

"..."

Kagura remained silent throughout.

She was wondering if Kyosuke Kousaka would take her along; she thought there was no chance, but unexpectedly, another one came along~

So happy!

As for those Lunarians and the Dark Side of the Moon, she will deal with them seriously!

I will definitely do my best!

Half an hour later.

Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura and Susou to the bamboo forest to find Princess Kaguya.

The others who remained weren't too worried.

Compared to previous crises, Kyosuke Kosaka's current troubles are relatively minor.

"I feel more at ease with Lady Kagura and Lady Susou by Kyosuke's side."

Miku said softly.

It's mainly Kagura.

She knew it very well.

Kagura, who rarely speaks but doesn't mind talking a lot, has a strong sense of observation.

Furthermore, she also believed that Kagura, who adored Kyosuke Kousaka, was always very attentive.

And Kousaka Kyosuke?

Miku discovered while playing the game that Kyosuke Kousaka didn't care too much about trivial details.

I only pay attention to things that are particularly important.

Yukino said, "This is probably because Kyosuke-sama wants to reduce unnecessary energy expenditure. He has actually carefully considered the most important gains and losses."

Miku thought for a moment, then became thoughtful again.

"Just like playing a game, Kyosuke-sama always tries very hard to protect his important character cards."

"...Sagiri's character card is really beautiful." Nino was speechless.

Since Sagiri arrived, she felt that she could also win against Kyosuke Kousaka through careful consideration.

Shizuko said, "Sagiri said that these female character cards were all created with everyone's help."

Shizuko's expression was quite peculiar when she said this.

How to say?

Since Sagiri arrived, the style of the bedroom has changed again.

Sagiri, who loves drawing beautiful pictures, used everyone as source material.

The others didn't pay much attention, since the news was only circulating inside the bedroom, and the only men who could see it were their husbands.

"Sagiri's drawings are so cute..."

Chitanda also spoke with an unnatural expression.

"Sagiri is a very polite child, it's just that her interests are a little unusual."

Chitanda still vividly remembers when Sagiri came to visit.

At that time, Sagiri timidly hid behind Kousaka Kyosuke, but she still remembered to express her thoughts, namely, that she hoped to address each other according to their age.

Then, as they gradually became familiar with each other, Sagiri happily wandered around.

Even if Kyosuke Kousaka isn't around, I won't be afraid anymore...

Chitanda thought this was fine.

“I heard from Sagiri that Lord Kyosuke has collected all of our paintings,” Shizuko couldn’t help but report.

After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.
