Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Okay, it's decided then!"

Kyosuke Kosaka had no objections whatsoever.

We must fight, or we must fight.

You can't just do whatever you want.

It's like going to Suzuka Mountain, the lair of the siren, to gather information; that's like asking to die even faster than you think.

Kyosuke Kosaka believed that even if he went with the main characters Seimei, they would likely be wiped out.

Two fists are no match for four hands!

Even a hero can't withstand a crowd!

Once surrounded and attacked by a mob, even the most powerful humans or monsters, except for the most powerful gods, will fall.

Especially for humans, when their spiritual power is exhausted, even Seimei has to kneel.

Kyosuke Kousaka was in a similar situation.

all in all.

This established the tone for identifying Suzuka Mountain as the enemy.

As a result, Kyoto will inevitably make some preparations.

However, based on speculation, there shouldn't be too much vigilance.

Since the sea kingdom is nowhere to be seen, it would be a waste of manpower and resources to send people to be vigilant. It's like when a flash flood is about to break out, most people at the foot of the mountain are hoping for the best and thinking they'll leave when things get worse.

The nobles naturally held this same thought.

Even if you say too much, it gets annoying.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't bother to pay much attention to this.

Since Fujiwara no Michitsuna has set the tone, it means that the Master has also given his permission. So there are no official obstacles. All I need to do is work with Seimei and the others to find out the problems.

And so, Kyosuke Kousaka took Kagura to find Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Yaobikuni, and the other main characters.

“Oh? Why don’t we go check out Xingyuan Castle first? There have been signs of a great demon there lately, which might attract the attention of other sea monsters,” Seimei suddenly said.

Kyosuke Kosaka was completely bewildered. Anbara Castle? Where is this? It looks familiar... is this some kind of story?

200. Intelligence/Phoenix Fire, Ibaraki-doji/The Way of the Dao/Just Do It

Xingyuan Castle?

After a quick thought, Kyosuke Kousaka immediately thought of a great monster.

——Shiranui.

Is that the shikigami with the highest CG viewership and that became a viral sensation?

Kyosuke Kousaka immediately remembered it.

He also bought all sorts of skins back then.

If this world were a game, Kyosuke Kousaka's job would be to collect stamps.

Of course, in reality, he shouldn't pay any attention to it.

"A great demon? Okay, let's go take a look." Kousaka Kyosuke replied.

Minamoto no Hiromasa was eager to get started.

"Whether it's the legendary great monster or those sea monsters, I will compete with them."

"Oh dear, Mr. Boya is getting all worked up again," Yaobikuni said with a smile.

Kagura's face remained expressionless: "Brother Hiromasa, please don't forget the important matter."

"……understood."

Minamoto no Hiromasa's expression became unnatural.

This perfectly illustrates the saying "one thing subdues another."

To deal with this troublesome brother-in-law, Kyosuke Kosaka only needs to put Kagura in front of him, and the brother-in-law will have to surrender.

That's fine.

Without much delay, the group headed east towards Xingyuan City.

Because Shiro had to take care of Fuyuka, who hadn't fully recovered from the Shrine Maiden Orochi incident, neither of them went there.

By the way.

Xingyuan City is a coastal city, some distance from Dazifu.

If it weren't for Seimei telling him, Kousaka Kyosuke wouldn't have known there was a small town with only a few hundred people here.

Why don't you know?

That's perfectly normal.

We can't just ignore Kyoto and focus on things outside of Kyoto, can we?

Furthermore, Shiranui's strength is not specifically demonstrated in the story, and she herself is a free-spirited person.

Why would you ask her about her?

Seimei believed there might be traces of sea monsters, which is why he went there.

Speaking of which, there's also a character named "Minamoto no Yorimitsu" in the story, who is mentioned as having discovered the seeds of invasion.

So it's really hard to say whether we can find traces of the Sea Kingdom's forces here.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka went to the Daijifu area first.

He went there once and came out immediately, already holding an official seal in his hand.

“Sometimes there are still some troublesome characters in small towns, and we should use the power of the government to deal with them.”

Kyosuke Kosaka explained in detail.

Minamoto no Hiromasa: "Isn't it enough to just reason with people?"

"Uh... Boya, your way of reasoning might still end up requiring the use of official documents in the end."

"what do you mean?"

Minamoto no Hiromasa started glaring at people.

"Mr. Kyosuke is worried that Mr. Hiromasa will defeat a group of people, so we have to be on guard."

"Haha, Kyosuke, you're really considerate to Hiromasa."

"Brother Boya, you need to work on your impulsive nature..."

Yaobikuni and Seimei were mocking and ridiculing, while Kagura was admonishing them.

Kyosuke Kosaka pretended not to see it.

In terms of brothers-in-law, Minamoto no Hiromasa is actually the most powerful and the most useful.

It's just that he can be a bit sharp-tongued when it comes to his personality.

Just ignore it.

We still have to give Kagura face.

Afterwards, the group continued their journey to Xingyuan City.

We arrived at noon.

"Today happens to be the night of the new moon, and Shiranui is very likely to appear, so we need to quickly gather information."

Seimei quickly made arrangements.

Kyosuke Kosaka had no objections, and then they each went off to search for information.

However, Kagura was still by her side.

Because Kyosuke Kousaka was quite worried.

"You look too easy to bully, you'll get taken away." After separating from Seimei and the others, Kousaka Kyosuke teased Kagura again.

A faint blush rose on Kagura's cheeks, and she gave a soft "hmm" without saying anything.

Kyosuke Kosaka found it quite amusing and suddenly began to understand why adults still enjoyed teasing children.

But it's better to keep quiet about things like "You don't want me anymore".

"Let's go check out some old shops first; that might help us get some information faster."

"it is good."

Kagura then responded.

It is not too late.

Kyosuke Kosaka then prepared to take action.

He first went to a jewelry store and quickly bought a batch of decent jewelry for his partner, then asked about the matter.
