Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1131

Ayase Aragaki also gradually let go of her initial suspicions.

Considering the fact that Kyosuke Kousaka is a powerful Onmyoji of our time, she believes that the previous speculations were utter nonsense.

The assumption that it really is the same person is untenable from the start.

After all, Kirino's brother seems quite ordinary...

Even though Kirino always thought her brother was amazing, the problem is that Ayase Aragaki had actually gone to great lengths to find out about him.

Although his appearance is unclear, based on a lot of information, Kirino's brother is just an ordinary person.

At most, they just have a particular hobby of traveling and collecting various history-related items.

Now, she should be grateful to the adult who took her in.

Day 402 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka took Kagura to the Yorozuya next to the Yokai Market to check on the situation.

Then, he reluctantly took on some tasks that were difficult for other Onmyoji to complete.

Most of these tasks involve purification.

Yes, while the area around Kyoto has relatively little toxic fumes and foul air, other places are not like that.

Basically, the further away from Kyoto you are, the more toxic smog there is in the environment.

If you stay in contact with someone for too long, it's quite normal for them to die.

Many officials who were demoted to the left did not escape their posts in this way.

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed, "Looks like today will be a busy day."

"It's okay to take it slow. Let's take care of the more urgent tasks first, and there's no need to rush the others."

Kagura said to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka chuckled and joked, "Has Kagura learned to slack off too?"

"We can't do too much at once; we should proceed at an efficiency that everyone can accept."

"Hmm? You still haven't answered me. Why can't you finish it all at once?"

"Because he has to deal with too many things at once, Kyosuke probably won't want to work anymore."

Kagura said slowly.

Kousaka Kyosuke silently looked at Kagura's peaceful face and said softly:

"It seems Kagura is going to be living in my heart from now on..."

All that's missing is writing a "Kyosuke Encyclopedia".

"Snuggling into Kyosuke's arms is enough."

Kagura suddenly pounced on Kousaka Kyosuke, rubbing her little head against his chest.

Kyosuke Kosaka's heart softened instantly, but his body was filled with excitement!

"Later, at least until lunchtime."

Kagura patted him gently and coaxed him softly.

Kousaka Kyosuke coughed dryly.

Is he this kind of person?

Oh well, anyway, he's not a lolicon!

Time flies.

After a busy morning, Kyosuke Kousaka and Kagura were looking forward to resting and having lunch.

However, they smelled a bloody odor coming from quite a distance, and the two of them immediately chose to follow the source of the odor.

They quickly found two oxcarts bearing royal symbols.

Kousaka Kyosuke spotted the girl who had been threatening him with a porridge stick in front of the Sewing Hall yesterday at a glance.

The girl was guarded by two samurai, while a group of onmyoji were fighting against a tainted yokai, creating a chaotic scene...

294. A group from the palace / Troubled / Spiritual herbs, crisis

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Several simple spiritual strikes, composed of pure spiritual energy, pierced through the demon's head.

Within two or three breaths, all the evil spirits lay dead in pools of blood.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

The Onmyoji, who had just been fighting the demons, reacted very quickly and greeted Kousaka Kyosuke.

Judging from their calm demeanor, these people must be some of the best elites among the royal Onmyoji.

"Unless it's urgent, it's best to return to the city as soon as possible. There's been a lot more miasma in the suburbs these days than usual. If we stay any longer, it will be very difficult to fight the evil spirits."

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at the royal Onmyoji who was probably the leader and offered his advice.

He paid no attention to the girl who threatened him with the porridge stick yesterday, or the other human corpses lying around.

The girl with the porridge stick didn't seem to be in charge.

As for the corpse...

We've become numb to it all, so how could we possibly have any emotional fluctuations?

At most, I felt sorry for the girl with the porridge stick and her trembling maid.

"Isn't the palace paradise enough? Coming to the outskirts to experience hell is extremely unpleasant."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

The leader of the Imperial Onmyoji answered fluently: "Reporting to Lord Kyosuke, we have come on the orders of the Imperial Box Palace to find spiritual herbs that can nourish the body of the pregnant woman."

"I see. What kind of spiritual herb is it? Where is it located? I'll escort you there to retrieve it."

"The place is located high up, where a kind of spiritual herb grows on cliffs and emits a crimson light..."

"Oh, it was born on a cliff."

As Kousaka Kyosuke murmured to himself, his eyes inadvertently drifted to Kagura beside him.

Kagura blinked knowingly, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

Having received the signal, Kyosuke Kousaka immediately looked seriously at the leader of the Onmyoji.

"Can you provide a specific location? Or where it was previously seen? Searching based on just a few simple conditions is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

As he spoke, Kyosuke Kosaka had roughly confirmed some information.

He was particularly speechless, unsure if it was correct.

Because it doesn't matter what the truth is.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that there was something wrong with the Imperial Box Palace.

Looking for miraculous herbs for pregnant women?

They even specially asked an elite royal Onmyoji to help them find it?

Is this definitely not an attempt to negatively impact the Onmyoji community?

Fortunately, the situation has been somewhat tense lately.

Using Onmyoji as bodyguards would be more practical and also in line with humanitarian principles.

Like it is now.

Sending Onmyoji to find spirit herbs, or more accurately, sending them to do tasks that are likely to result in death, is making things difficult for them.

Most importantly—why bring the female officials along?!

Is this person here to supervise?

Kyosuke Kosaka expressed his deep admiration for the actions of the Imperial Box Lord.

When people get ruthless, they can be really formidable.

"...I'm sorry, Kyosuke-sama, we can only follow orders."

The Onmyoji leader lowered his head and spoke.

Kyosuke Kosaka carefully noticed the unusual behavior of the other Onmyoji subordinates.

There were feelings of dissatisfaction, indignation, and all sorts of negative emotions.

"Is the Imperial Box Palace trying to play a prank on someone?"

Kousaka Kyosuke guessed.

Actually, if you're going to play a prank on someone, then so be it.

Why did they even include girls who had some connection with Sei Shonagon?
