Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't see where the girl's depression was. It seemed that a few days of living in the illusion had cured her years of depression, which was really a good thing.

I just hope it won't be like the intermittent ones we see in modern times.

"That's pretty much me."

"Anyway, let me dance for you first."

Her delicate, white feet, as white as lotus roots, lightly touched the sand, which reflected the sunlight and became as white as a snowfield. Shiranui raised her hand and twirled lightly, her graceful and slender body swaying to a certain rhythm...

202. Shiranui's Freedom / Enmusubi's Intervention / Yukino and the Allocation / Spring Planting Preparations

Her stunning beauty was complemented by her graceful and enchanting dance moves.

Kyosuke Kosaka quietly watches the dance called freedom on the abandoned island.

A cold sea breeze howled, and Shiranui's dress fluttered in the wind.

Compared to the stage of the fantasy world, it lacks the embellishment of fishing lights that stretch to the sky and cover the sea.

But the pristine white sand, bright blue sky and white clouds, and boundless sea as a backdrop are still just as stunning, if not more so.

"Freedom."

Kyosuke Kousaka murmured to himself, silently offering his blessings.

In the illusion, he vaguely sensed that Shiranui liked "racing", surfing, and sleeping outdoors.

With that kind of energy, she's completely on par with trendy young women and hot girls.

Given Shiranui's quiet, aloof, and dignified demeanor.

It is almost impossible for people to discover how unrestrained she is in essence.

It's likely that being imprisoned by that female boss for so long and used as a money-making tool has suppressed too much of her humanity.

This became even more pronounced during the rebound.

So, it shouldn't be his problem, right?

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered secretly.

Without realizing it, my mind drifted back to Shiranui's enthusiastic attitude towards everything new and exciting.

He vaguely felt that his "persona was about to fall apart".

Fortunately, it still retains its antique charm, so there shouldn't be any problems.

The dance is over.

Shiranui looked at Kousaka Kyosuke quietly, and Kousaka Kyosuke took the initiative to ask with a smile.

"how?"

"The sun was so bright, and the sunlight was so gentle; I had never felt this way before..."

Shiranui-do.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, quietly feeling the sea breeze.

"Then keep this feeling alive. Burn freely and unrestrained, dance, sing, and do whatever you want."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, it was just a small favor. By the way, I've been planning to produce a newsletter in the monster-infested area these past few days. May I ask if it's possible to publish some of your experiences?"

"Miscellaneous newspaper?"

"It's something that records important news from just a few days on paper, and it will also be published..."

Kousaka Kyosuke began to explain earnestly to Shiranui.

After listening carefully, Shiranui said softly, "It's a very strange thing."

"It's something I came up with casually. I hope it will be of some use. If it's not, I'll just treat it as a pastime. I have to give it a try."

"Then why don't you give it a try?"

“Okay, I’ll write it down and show it to you. I believe your story can make some people realize that every life has the right to pursue freedom.”

"Wait and see."

"Now that we've finished discussing this, I'll take my leave."

Kyosuke Kosaka said goodbye quite naturally.

The dance is over, the business is finished, let's go.

The main reason was that he didn't know how to continue the conversation with Shiranui, so he had no choice but to leave.

Frankly speaking, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't know how to communicate with a quiet woman like Shiranui.

In truth, Shiranui is somewhat similar to the spouses of Fujishikibu and Sue.

The problem is that Kyosuke Kousaka's interactions with them from the beginning were all purposeful—yes, that is, sex.

It's obvious that we can't do that right now.

As a result, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't know what he was talking about with Shiranui...

They probably didn't have much experience in dealing with such situations and didn't want to have an awkward conversation, so they left.

Thump thump~

"Help—" a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Shiranui, who still wanted to say something to Kousaka Kyosuke, looked towards the sea.

Kyosuke Kosaka, on the other hand, started moving quickly.

The next instant, it flew to the sea, grabbed the person who had called for help, and then quickly returned.

This...this feel?!

"Phew~ I almost thought we were going to drift away somewhere else."

The rescued person let out a breath without any regard for appearances, and spat out the seawater he had just swallowed.

The person who came was a young girl with many red ropes tied around her head and dressed in a simple red and white dress.

Kyosuke Kosaka knew her.

This woman is none other than the Goddess of Fate!

"what's wrong with you?"

"I just fought some arrogant monsters, but I forgot to bring my sword, so I'm going back to get it before I fight them to the death!"

"So your weapon is a machete..."

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the drenched Enmusubi, who stood with her hands on her hips looking smug but whose body was dripping with water, and finally raised his hand to evaporate the water vapor from Enmusubi's body.

"This is the God of Fate, the deity in charge of marriage."

Kousaka Kyosuke then introduced Shiranui, who had been silent beside him.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of a deity who governs marriage. I'll definitely go to the shrine of the God of Marriage to pray for blessings next time."

"That's great~ My shrine is located in the northwest outskirts of Kyoto, it's very conspicuous, but don't get it wrong, there's another shrine over there..."

"I will definitely go when I have time."

"Alright! I need to buy a red thread of fate... Huh? You have a red thread on you too. I think you're ready to get married."

"is it?"

And so, Enmusubi, being very outgoing, started chatting with Shiranui.

As Kousaka Kyosuke pondered whether to leave, the Goddess of Fate silently blocked his path.

Kyosuke Kosaka was completely confused. What was going on?

He didn't do anything.

"Let me see--"

Enmusubi grabbed Shiranui's wrist and channeled the last bit of divine power she had left into her body.

Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but look over.

Then he saw a red line appear out of nowhere, slowly growing and extending from Shiranui's wrist... until it suddenly stopped in his direction.

"It's a bit unstable. Should we take it back? I think you're just too embarrassed to say it out loud, and as a result, you've missed your chance at marriage. That's not good."

The spirit of the predestined union spoke righteously, and began to move his hands.

Having just exhausted all her strength to evade those inexplicably chasing her sea monsters, she currently has very little divine power left.

Therefore, they need to be paired up.

"Anyway, Kyosuke seems to have a lot of luck with women, so having another one wouldn't be a bad idea..."

"Wow!" The Goddess of Fate, who was still trying to connect Kyosuke Kousaka and Shiranui with their red thread, exclaimed.

Kousaka Kyosuke, holding the head of the Goddess of Love and Marriage with one hand, said expressionlessly, "Don't do anything rash."
