"let it go."
Without looking up, Kousaka Kyosuke said something.
He nodded inwardly.
That's right; voluntarily stepping down is a smart move.
I worked for half an hour.
Kousaka Kyosuke left the government office, preparing to go to the agreed-upon location with Fujiwara Michitsuna to retrieve his official seal and insignia.
It wasn't just the Water Department's special office; there were also the official seals and tokens of other assistant officials, lieutenants, and officers.
By the way.
I inquired about it beforehand.
It was discovered that the Water Department had the same structure as the Prosecutor's Office.
It is divided into four levels: "Bie Dang", "Zuo", "Wei", and "Zhi".
These correspond to the four ranks of officials: "Chief Official," "Second Official," "Judge," and "Chief Clerk."
However, judging from Kyosuke Kousaka's speculation...
The position of "Bie Dang" in the Water Department should be a very ordinary official rank of the fifth grade.
It doesn't resemble the basic four positions in a normal government office.
The assistant officer is unlikely to be of the fifth rank like his current position as the Inspector of Illegal Acts; he will most likely only be of the sixth rank.
But for Kyosuke Kousaka, this was already very good.
Holding an extra position means receiving an extra salary.
What's wrong with bringing other relatives along as well?
It is likely that future invasions by maritime nations will be used as a vanguard.
The problem is, the Sea Kingdom has come directly to Kyoto, while I'm still the leading Onmyoji of the Fujiwara clan.
Can you run?
Or are you going to run away with other girls?
Kyosuke Kosaka didn't even think about it.
The world is a complex place; safeguarding this base is the most important thing!
We can't find a better location for the time being, so this is the only option.
As he walked and pondered, Kyosuke Kosaka was in a fairly pleasant mood.
Suddenly, I seemed to sense something.
He quickly turned around and headed towards the six main roads of Ukyo!
Having already set up a sensory barrier in the residential area of Ukyo, he was able to immediately detect the anomaly.
Just like.
In an instant, he noticed that a yokai of roughly SR rank had arrived at the six main roads of Ukyo.
The monster's strength is considered quite good among the group.
Even if the patrolling firemen noticed the commotion, they would have difficulty maintaining control.
Even members of the Qin family are not allowed.
He estimated the strength of the Qin family members and concluded that only a small number of them could put up a difficult fight against this monster.
And there will definitely be casualties!
Kyosuke Kosaka, however, did not want this to happen.
Each and every one of them could be considered a relative.
Even though death and injury were inevitable on this path, he wanted to try his best to avoid it.
Therefore, Kyosuke Kousaka's speed increased even further in an instant.
When we arrive.
Kyosuke Kosaka immediately realized that the battle area had expanded to the edge of the residential area.
There were also familiar-looking members of the Qin family, each forming an array to surround a huge crimson monster.
The monster was entirely red, enormous, three or four meters tall, and had fangs.
Without a second thought, Kousaka Kyosuke raised his hand and summoned a talisman.
Countless fine lines composed of golden runes converged within the talisman in eight directions…
The talisman transformed into a stream of light and flowed into the crimson monster.
"what!"
Like a wild beast's roar that abruptly ceased after a single cry.
The crimson monster flowed into a talisman in an inexplicable way, like liquid.
"Kyosuke-sama!"
"Kyosuke-sama!"
The fire soldiers, who immediately realized it was Kousaka Kyosuke who had made the move, exclaimed excitedly.
Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and put the talisman away.
"Maintain order in the surrounding area."
"Yes!" came the resounding reply in unison.
Kyosuke Kosaka was able to easily discover that it was all thanks to his wives' families.
Sure enough, relatives are more reliable.
Only then did he have time to look around and discover that several figures were loitering on a path not far away.
Among them, Kyosuke Kosaka discovered some women dressed in gorgeous evening gowns.
Women use their sleeves to cover their faces.
Then I saw an overturned oxcart...
He seemed to be deep in thought.
He immediately summoned a spirit shikigami.
She handed the several straw hats to the shikigami, who took them and slowly walked towards the path.
"Move any bodies to a secluded spot first, and keep a safe distance from other people to avoid causing a disturbance."
"Yes!"
The obedient voices rang out again in unison.
Kyosuke Kosaka pondered the idea of increasing the use of the Qin family.
Capable, obedient, and related by blood... it would be foolish not to give them an important position.
Busy until sunset.
Having already received the official seal and seal of the Water Department, Kousaka Kyosuke, as usual, inspected the surrounding area.
Then, we prepared to visit someone.
Because he had helped him before, Fujiwara Tomoyuki invited him for drinks.
That makes perfect sense.
Kyosuke Kosaka had no reason to refuse.
After all, the plan is to make good use of this talented person who is excellent in communication and ability.
Compared to those who come from large official families.
Kyosuke Kousaka prefers people who don't have much of a background.
People like Fujiwara no Tomoyuki are so far removed from the direct line that it's hard to even call them collateral branches.
Kyosuke Kousaka is very welcoming!
Arrival at the destination.
When Kousaka Kyosuke met Fujiwara Tomoyuki, he noticed that Fujiwara Tomoyuki's expression was strange.
"Zhixing, is there something you need?"
"...Lord Kyosuke, thank you so much for saving my two daughters."
"What a coincidence! It just means we're destined to meet. Let's have a good drink."
Kyosuke Kosaka was only slightly surprised, but didn't take it to heart.
Moreover, if we're really talking about it, the descendants of the Qin family are the most capable.
