Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Taking it out could cause a bloody accident!

For example, the "advantages" that Kyosuke Kosaka mentioned.

If those who pray truly understood, why would they need to come to the shrine to beg for food?

"I will."

"...You want to teach people?"

"That depends on whether it's worth teaching, and teaching people takes time. You might as well observe the believers in secret to see what their strengths are."

"Anyway, the advantages shouldn't be what you mentioned."

"Probably," Kousaka Kyosuke replied ambiguously.

The Moon Chaser snorted: "In short, I'm going hunting."

After saying that, she turned around and flicked her fluffy tail.

It left Kousaka Kyosuke with a gentle breeze that swept away the dust, and his dashing and handsome figure.

Kousaka Kyosuke watched the Moon Chaser depart with a complicated expression.

"Oh no, how should I tell Shizuko?"

I'm afraid, very likely, Shizuko will think I'm a pervert, right?

Forget it.

Since she also confirmed her relationship with White Wolf.

Have all the people in the bedchamber lost all sense of decency?

You could say that Yaodao-hime is a person.

The white wolf is clearly a female wolf.

The problem is, even the White Wolf is saying he wants fairness.

How could Kyosuke Kosaka possibly refuse to satisfy her?

"I really am a gentle person..."

Kousaka Kyosuke's face was filled with admiration.

Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes and began to sense the situation, focusing on the shrine as the center.

Monsters, yin energy, residents, wanderers... each and every one of these beings is something he needs to observe.

Although there are many yokai in Kyoto, the number of soldiers who can easily resist them has also increased.

The firemen and guards who used to just coast along have no chance of survival anymore.

In a situation where even junior officers, officers of all ranks, from captains and lieutenants to junior officers, had to go out on patrol.

When encountering some troublesome monsters, the most basic units, fire soldiers and guards, are definitely consumables.

Without real ability, you're just a pushover.

The Outer Guard Office did the same thing as Kyosuke Kosaka a while ago.

Yes, it means sending guards to patrol locations where there is a high chance of encountering monsters.

This strong sense of déjà vu struck Kousaka Kyosuke as particularly strange.

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka looked slightly taken aback.

He then used the spell of cognitive impairment.

Soon, a pretty blonde girl dressed in gray clothes entered the shrine.

After scanning the room, the blonde girl quickly spotted an ordinary middle-aged man dressed in a white formal suit.

A middle-aged man was wiping a pillar with burlap, completely absorbed in his work.

"Excuse me."

"Please make yourself at home," Kousaka Kyosuke said casually without stopping what he was doing.

The young girl, Hayasaka Ai, was disappointed. Wasn't the Onmyoji there?

Immediately, she composed herself and put on a pitiful expression.

"My lord, may I ask about matters concerning the gods?"

"can."

"What kind of deity is the Moon Chaser?"

"..." Kosaka Kyousuke was silent.

They're not planning to let him off the hook.

Speaking of which, it's probably difficult to become a devout believer if you have too much of a purpose.

The path to godhood for the Moon Chaser was truly arduous.

"Regardless, the future Moon Chaser has quite a lot of potential."

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka thought of various major crises in the future.

I immediately regained my confidence!

Who wouldn't want a god who can protect them simply by offering their faith?

Even for Kyosuke Kosaka, this was a very worthwhile deal.

"The Moon Goddess listens to the wishes of the world, deals with disasters, and silently protects the land."

Very skilled.

Kyosuke Kousaka continued to spread the faith of the Moon God.

The Moon Chaser is his shikigami.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt obligated to help her by accepting believers for her.

Considering that Hayasaka Ai is kind-hearted by nature, she is a pretty good candidate for a believer.

He spoke while thinking.

Hayasaka Ai was also pondering the current situation.

"Kaguya-sama's waka poem suffered a complete defeat, and there has been no news from the Outer Guard Office."

"At this point, we can only hope that the gods or Onmyoji can grant us a blessing..."

Although I know that my thoughts are absurd and ridiculous, doing nothing is even more unreasonable.

"...My lord, can the Moon Goddess only protect people's safety and agriculture?"

"Health is a blessing, and so is the harvest of food; this is enough for a person to live well."

"Yes...yes, you're right."

Hayasaka Ai accepted the earnest advice with trepidation, but in reality, she did not mean to accept it.

Having lived there for more than half a year, she had witnessed many tragedies.

Ordinary people have absolutely no power to resist powerful figures.

The nobles can be said to be the rulers of this country.

And at this moment.

Their initial goal in coming to Kyoto was to establish a foothold in this political and economic center.

Unfortunately, when the eldest son, Huang Guang, made an unexpectedly and shockingly foolish move...

Everything is starting to go wrong!

The group of people seemed to have become the biggest joke in Kyoto.

Not to mention the government offices, even this group of people became the target of disdain by a group of nobles.

It was extremely difficult for his father, Masato Hayasaka, his mother, Nao, and other retainers and servants to obtain information.

Ultimately, the neighbors were not unaware of their move.

Then it spread through the gossipy servants and maids.

Their mansion seemed to be protected by an invisible barrier, and almost no one would approach it.

Not to mention exchanging information or gathering intelligence.

Just like when Hayasaka Aiichi approached, the maids and servants of the neighboring mansions all showed expressions of disgust and aversion.

The condescending gaze was filled with a strong sense of superiority...

Hayasaka Ai was completely powerless in the face of this.

Having only been in Kyoto for less than three days, they had already found themselves in a dead end.

Even taking action is extremely difficult.

What will happen in the future? Hayasaka Ai wasn't quite sure.

She has already begun to consider relocating to a certain ruling country a few years from now, once the head of the family's health deteriorates.
