Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Brother Boya, calm down. Seimei values ​​his comrades very much, and he won't harm them even if they are enemies."

"Then you'd better explain it clearly... Seimei."

After being persuaded by Kagura, Minamoto no Hiromasa immediately calmed down.

But they still wouldn't let go of the problem.

Seimei said slowly, "The Cloud Mirror cannot be kept; it will threaten the safety of Kyoto."

Minamoto no Hiromasa was stunned, then suddenly realized what was happening.

The culprit that has turned Kyoto into a bottomless pit of spiritual energy these past few days is none other than the Cloud Mirror?!

"This is indeed a very troublesome matter."

Yaobikuni looked with distress at the several fragments of mirror floating in mid-air next to Seimei.

She vaguely sensed a familiar aura within these fragments, and immediately began to make some guesses.

Only then did I realize just how serious the problem was.

"Then, genius Onmyoji Seimei, you should also tell us the reason for all of this."

Suzuka Gozen, who was attending the Demon King's Banquet, suddenly spoke up.

She came here to see if the evil god, Yamata no Orochi, who was plotting behind the scenes, would arrive.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

Instead, it allowed her to see a possible future through the Cloud Mirror.

She herself was naturally not very happy.

"Even if he hadn't appeared, he was still able to use the Cloud Mirror, this divine artifact, to guide me and the other Ghost Kings into our inner demons, almost putting us in an extremely unfavorable situation..."

Suzuka Gozen's brows twitched at the thought of it.

She could not forgive Orochi's actions.

If she could, she would absolutely kill this evil god who brought disaster to the world!

"Hehe, it seems that even I, this great one, have no choice but to get involved."

Shuten-dōji also chuckled.

The future of the Ghost Clan that the Cloud Mirror just foretold was not a false prediction.

It is indeed a possibility that there is a considerable probability of it happening.

Currently, he is the leader of the Oni clan.

Shuten-dōji certainly couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing.

"Everything is getting more interesting."

Kuro Seimei smiled just like Shuten-dōji, but not as freely as he had at the beginning.

Just as I had suspected, the worst thing happened.

How could he possibly be happy?

Nowadays, a smile is just an expression.

Meanwhile, Kousaka Kyosuke saw Shuten-dōji and Kuro Seimei laughing without a care in the world.

He silently thought to himself, "You'll all be busy from now on. Just be a tool like me."

One thing that must be mentioned is...

Starting today, everyone here will become a tool for saving the world.

A quarter of an hour later.

After briefly explaining the problem he had discovered, Seimei did not go into further detail.

Tamamo-no-Mae, Shuten-dōji, and Suzuka Gozen each took a fragment of the Cloud Mirror and then bid farewell.

Kuro Seimei did not take the Cloud Mirror fragment, but instead accompanied Tamamo-no-Mae with his two shikigami, Ōtengu and Yuki-onna.

Kyosuke Kousaka remained in his original position.

“I’ll take one first. As for you, Yaobikuni? I remember there’s still a lot of tidal power left over from the Sea of ​​Immortality. You can use the ship I built to go find Senhime.”

Although I really want to see Senhime, whom I haven't seen for a long time and only met in my dreams.

But Kyosuke Kousaka also understood that it was best not to talk about love at this time.

Let's at least purify all the fragments that can be purified first.

"And what is your destination, Mr. Kyosuke?" Yaobikuni asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "Let me think of a way. There will definitely be a way."

Minamoto no Hiromasa thought for a moment, then looked at Seimei, who was looking down at the many fragments in deep thought.

“I’ll stay with you, Seimei. Although I understand that you’re trying to stop Orochi’s plot, this isn’t like you at all. Anyway, I don’t approve.”

Kyosuke Kosaka said helplessly, "Hiromasa, let's clean up these shards of mirror that reek of snakes first."

"...Snake odor?"

Minamoto no Hiromasa stared intently at the numerous shards of mirror, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but sniff them.

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke fell silent.

Yaobikuni covered her mouth to suppress her laughter.

Kagura gently patted Kousaka Kyosuke's hand, as if disciplining a disobedient child.

Unfortunately, the force was too light.

"The power of the Cloud Mirror fragments is constantly overflowing; I need to go back and deal with it first."

Seimei, who hadn't said much since the explanation, suddenly spoke up.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I'll take you there. Keep looking at these shards of mirror on your way."

"please."

Seimei nodded solemnly.

Since shattering the Cloud Mirror, Seimei's expression has remained almost unchanged.

They're probably all thinking about how to deal with the crisis.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt obligated to help Seimei more.

Frankly speaking, without Seimei constantly rallying allies among both humans and yokai, Kyoto would have been in a terrible state.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka naturally wanted to help.

Otherwise, he'll be the one who ends up being busy.

Ultimately, very few people are capable of handling and dealing with advanced tasks.

Seimei is really exhausted; all those unfinished tasks will definitely fall on Kousaka Kyosuke's shoulders.

By then, there won't even be time to hold a banquet.

all in all.

After parting ways with the other demon kings, Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura worked together to quickly move Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Yaobikuni, and others to Seimei's residence in the suburbs.

Upon arriving at the location, Kyosuke Kosaka obtained a medium-sized fragment of the Cloud Mirror from Seimei and then left with Kagura.

on the way back.

Kyosuke Kosaka deliberately slowed down his pace to chat with Kagura.

"The Cloud Mirror is currently contaminated by that thing, and it requires abundant spiritual energy to purify it, so we'll be very busy from now on."

"Kyosuke, you should know me. I don't care about these difficulties."

"No, I'm just thinking about how I absolutely have to relax tonight."

"..."

Kagura was speechless.

Seeing Kyosuke Kousaka's serious expression, she understood that Kyosuke Kousaka was not joking.

"Actually, it's nothing. The purification of the Cloud Mirror fragments can't be rushed."

Kagura secretly explained to Kousaka Kyosuke in her mind.

she thought.

Finding a place to purify the fragments of the Cloud Mirror will inevitably take some time.

So, it shouldn't matter if I indulge myself a little with Kyosuke Kousaka tonight...

"The fireworks for the ancestral worship ceremony will last until dawn."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

Just then, a magnificent firework burst into bloom in the sky.

It illuminated the entire night sky.
