Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 797

Besides, he also wanted to see just how powerful this legendary artifact really was.

"Kyosuke, I'm begging you!" Seimei looked at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

The plot has become a hodgepodge.

Let's not overthink it.

He roughly understood what Fujiwara no Michitsuna was thinking; in any case, it was related to the deity that Fujiwara no Michitsuna's mother worshipped.

What about Shiranui? Kousaka Kyosuke doesn't quite understand.

How come it suddenly blends so casually with the legend? Something's not right.

Anyway, I'll help!

The main principle of the protagonist group and most of the monsters is—save people first! Everything else can wait!

This can be described as a characteristic of protagonist groups of the "truth, goodness, and beauty" type.

What else can Kyosuke Kosaka say about this?

Let's save them first!

Oh, to be precise, save the monster first.

"Can I travel with you in the Illusion Realm?" Phoenix Fire asked.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna, who was already rapidly preparing for the ceremony, replied:

“Of course. If I were to do it alone, the illusion would definitely be unstable, but with the blessing of the divine artifact, as well as the blessings of Seimei and Kyosuke, it will definitely be very stable.”

Minamoto no Hiromasa said unhappily, "I can also use barrier techniques."

Kyosuke Kosaka muttered, "Brother-in-law, stop showing off. Wouldn't it be better to protect us when there's danger?"

Minamoto no Hiromasa always liked things like honors and character.

My sister is still better.

Look, Kagura is staying obediently not far from Kousaka Kyosuke, watching over the surroundings.

I'm so honored that Aoandon looks like this too.

"Shiranui's power is getting weaker and weaker..." Phoenix Fire reminded her again.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna quickened his pace of preparation, and Seimei, holding the divine artifact Half-Mirror of the Clouds, became even more focused, as did Kousaka Kyosuke…

Not long after, as Fujiwara no Michitsuna's ritual was finally completed, Kousaka Kyosuke, in coordination with Seimei, began creating a reflection of the "past," centered on the entire island of Shiranui, which covered the sea.

After a dozen or so breaths.

The group suddenly found themselves on a bustling little island.

"So dazzling!"

A continuous expanse of lights illuminated the scene, revealing a city that never sleeps to the group who had suddenly entered this dreamlike world.

"The outlying islands were once so beautiful."

Phoenix Fire sighed.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna said:

"Although it's a bit disappointing, I still have to say something regrettable—this illusion can only last for three days at most. However, the advantage is that time flows very slowly in the real world, so not much time should have passed when we return."

Aoandon laughed:

"Three days is enough time to change the ending of a story."

Ibaraki-dōji looked displeased: "I didn't come here to help anyone..."

Kyosuke Kosaka also sensed that the pace of this development was strange.

how to say?

Sending a group of people to help one person, especially with just emotional support, is that just incredibly pointless?

"The purpose of coming here to find clues about the Sea Kingdom has turned into comforting and encouraging Shiranui... This is too ridiculous."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

But he said, "In short, let's work harder to resolve this."

He still doesn't understand.

According to the original storyline, shouldn't A-Li, the songstress, have completely merged with the legend and become Shiranui?

Could something be wrong?

"The performance has already started, why don't you go watch it?" Phoenix Fire suggested.

Ibaraki-dōji's face turned completely disgusted: "You guys go ahead, I'll go to the side. You can call me if you need anything."

If it's not ruled out that Shiranui might be able to restore his best friend's power, he would absolutely not get involved in such a strange matter!

Therefore, Ibaraki-dōji left the group.

Kyosuke Kosaka went to see the performance with Kagura, Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and others.

Because outsiders are not allowed to go to the outlying islands freely, if you want to see the performance, you can only take a boat and look across the sea at a large platform built at the very end of the pier.

On the way, Kyosuke Kosaka heard someone ask in confusion, "Where is Shiranui?"

His gaze involuntarily turned to the person who had asked the question.

The man was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in white clothes with a two-leaf hollyhock pattern printed on one side.

"Kamo no Yoshitsugu?"

"Lord Yixin! I've finally found you! Please go back quickly! Your mother is ill..."

"what?!"

Kousaka Kyosuke: "..."

In the silence, Kyosuke Kosaka saw a man named Yoshishin Kamo hurriedly leave with a servant.

"Kyosuke?" Kagura, who had noticed Kousaka Kyosuke's condition, asked in a low voice.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and shook his head at Kagura to indicate that he was alright, but he was completely bewildered.

Something's really wrong with this plot!

So there really wasn't a male protagonist named Kamo no Yoshishin?

How should we act it out?

"The change in Kamo no Yoshitsugu's stance has weakened the resolve of the songstress Ari... which is why the plot has changed?"

"But what's going on with Kamo no Yoshishin?"

Kyosuke Kousaka pondered the matter again.

Even if you say you didn't intend to profit from the storyline of the mobile game "Onmyoji", you still feel something is wrong and you have to find out the details.

For the time being, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to keep his doubts to himself and planned to inquire about Kamo Yoshishin's situation when he visited the Kamo clan later.

Right now, let's solve the Shiranui problem first.

Together with Minamoto no Hiromasa, they boarded a small boat suitable only for two people, and Kousaka Kyosuke headed to a convenient viewing spot.

Among them, Kagura and Yaobikuni's group, Aoandon and Hououka's group, and Seimei and Fujiwara no Michitsuna's group.

Ibaraki-dōji's departure meant he wouldn't have to taste that loneliness.

That's good.

"Shiranui! Shiranui!"

"Hmph, isn't she just a monster who knows how to bewitch people!"

"You're just jealous..."

As the small boat traveled along, all sorts of chat content were available.

Many people cheered for Shiranui, but many also spoke ill of her behind her back.

It's both exaggerated and malicious.

That makes perfect sense.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at the girl dancing on the stage, holding a folding fan in each hand, and a question lingered in his mind.

Why is the songstress just dancing and not singing?

I wanted to ask, but then I felt like I might not know some common sense, so I decided against it.

Perhaps being a songstress includes dancing.

"What are you looking at?" Minamoto no Hiromasa asked somewhat warily.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt he really needed Kagura as a weapon for retaliation, but considering his brother-in-law's personality, he couldn't be bothered to argue.

So he said, "If I don't look at her, I can only keep looking at Kagura. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"

Upon hearing this, Minamoto no Hiromasa immediately became embarrassed.
