Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 514

The current location is in the council hall of the government office.

Su Chang was quite worried that if the frog porcelain came, it would destroy the surrounding furniture and decorations.

This will take a lot of thought and money to arrange.

"Don't worry, don't worry..." The porcelain frog had no more temper.

It sat steadily on the porcelain, without making any unnecessary movements.

The woman who looked the oldest kept her gaze fixed on it.

It is a realm where one can feel life about to step into death at any time and in any place.

On the contrary, the new men and women posed no threat at all.

Therefore, Frog Porcelain also understands how to make the right choice.

"The rain over there was created by a yokai called the 'Rain Woman' using her magic. She absorbed some of the life force of passersby and yokai..."

"That's a bad monster!"

"Wait a minute, quack! The Rain Woman didn't kill anyone. At most, she absorbed some of the creature's essence, making it weak and listless. Besides, she did something good—you know about the rift in the underworld, right?"

Seeing that Su Chang asserted that the Rain Woman was an evil monster and that her expression had become unfriendly, Frog Porcelain quickly pointed out the key point.

A rift in the underworld?

The two sisters, dressed in plain clothes, immediately became serious, and their gazes toward the frog-shaped porcelain became strange.

Frog Porcelain quickly continued to explain:

"There is a barrier set up by the Kamo family's Onmyoji there. The barrier's purpose is to seal a rift that once led to the underworld. The Rain Woman strengthened the barrier with her sorcery."

"You probably don't know that a lot of yin energy has been emanating from that crack recently, but I don't know what exactly happened..."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I understand. I will go and investigate."

The porcelain frog lowered its head and pleaded.

"I hope to take away her power without destroying her..."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and agreed, "If it is as you say, then protecting her is only natural."

Su Yi softly pointed out the blind spot: "Frog porcelain, then why did the Rain Woman use sorcery to strengthen the barrier?"

Frog Porcelain sighed.

"The Rain Woman was a human in her previous life. Because she was frail and sickly, she and her husband lived in extreme poverty. However, her husband did not abandon her to go fishing in the sea..."

Even though he already knew what was going on, Kyosuke Kousaka listened quietly to the whole story.

They are all love stories about a rain goddess waiting for her husband, who eventually becomes obsessed and transforms into a monster.

However, women are clearly fascinated by these kinds of stories.

Even though the description of the frog porcelain wasn't particularly evocative, Su Yi, Su Chang, and Kagura were all captivated by it.

Kyosuke Kosaka had no doubt that he might be playing the role of a fisherman in their minds.

Invisible imagination is the most deadly!

When it comes to imagining things in the bedroom, Miku and the Kirisu sisters are probably the most imaginative.

Even when she's with her sisters, Miku immediately starts thinking about intimate things.

Kirisu Mafuyu and Kirisu Miharu are equally matched; they truly are sisters.

"...So, this is why the Rain Woman maintains the barrier?"

After listening to the story, Kagura's expression changed slightly.

Kyosuke Kosaka strongly suspected that she was impersonating the Rain Woman.

"I see, that's understandable." Su Chang nodded thoughtfully.

Su Yi gradually lessened her hostility.

After some deliberation, she ultimately decided not to ask why the frog porcelain was working so hard.

Whether human or monster, everyone has their own secrets.

Since the frog-shaped porcelain hasn't revealed much that's suspicious, there's no need to continue offending it.

"Then let's go!"

Kyosuke Kosaka prepares to head to his destination.

If there are no problems, then check the seal inside first.

At the very least, we need to reinforce it. I'll also need to talk to my brother-in-law, Yasunori Kamo, about it later.

Since it was a seal placed by the Kamo family, there must be something to say.

They left the office of the Water Department.

After informing Yaodao-hime and Bailang, Kousaka Kyosuke led Suyi, Sushang, Kagura, and Frog Porcelain to their destination.

As for why not bring two shikigami?

That's because Shizuko and Chitanda are both very important, and they still need to be well cared for even if they stay in the Mizubeji area.

After all, the Taoist priest probably knew that the agricultural knowledge he had previously taught came from Jingzi.

So at least let him know that you are indeed keeping this confidential.

Even if I'm overthinking it, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Objectively speaking...

Kyosuke Kosaka was also unsure whether there were any spies within the Mizubu-ji organization.

He tentatively said that there was.

Then we must take good protective measures.

Of course, Kyosuke Kosaka didn't believe that any spies would actually cause trouble.

At most, it's something like gathering information or intelligence.

Ultimately, it was an era with strong clan-based concepts.

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't expect anyone to be so loyal that they would even disregard their own family.

Put yourself in their shoes.

He couldn't have done it, let alone anyone else.

It's best to keep it to yourself.

"Huh, the rain has stopped." Su Chang looked surprised when she arrived at the location.

Frog Porcelain sensed something was wrong: "...The rain hasn't stopped these past few days."

"Go and have a look."

Kousaka Kyosuke's heart froze slightly.

Is this trying to cause trouble for him?

Not to mention that He Mao's family might be held accountable.

Even though this place is quite far from the Water Department, it will definitely be affected when the Yin energy erupts.

A group of people sped up.

Even Kagura was carried on Su Chang's back and moved forward quickly.

"...You dare to attack me? Be prepared!"

A mournful female voice sounded from ahead.

Kyosuke Kosaka could clearly feel a strong wind.

A strong wind swept in from the front!

The mud and water droplets on the land were blown up, like hidden weapons being constantly lashed out!

Keep going.

Kyosuke Kosaka saw the shimmering, sparkling snowflakes falling gently.

Not only snowflakes, but also a handsome silver-haired man flying in the air, flapping his wings.

"For the greater good, let your so-called obsession vanish into thin air!"

A passionate and impassioned voice came from the silver-haired man.

Recognizing the man as Ōtengu at a glance, Kōsaka Kyōsuke turned his attention elsewhere.

Not far from the Great Tengu, they discovered a black-haired woman wearing a white kimono.

The woman is surrounded by snowflakes; it's obvious she's a snow woman.

"What grand principles? You who try to make people give up their obsessions are the truly foolish and arrogant ones!"

Frog Porcelain was enraged when it saw Rain Woman being constantly attacked by wind blade vortexes!

Square clusters of demonic energy instantly condensed on his head and rained down on the Great Tengu like bullets.
