Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 150

"Unexpected troubles are unlikely to occur like yesterday, since the impact will be limited."

"However, the barrier around Ukyo is like a sieve, and I don't know exactly when Minamoto no Yorimitsu will break his contract with the snake god..."

Kousaka Kyosuke understands very well.

According to the original plot.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu intended to use Kagura, a special offering, to deliver a severe blow to the serpent god.

Only then will the contract be formally terminated.

At that time, Kyoto can truly begin its historically famous "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

Kyosuke Kosaka was worried that one day a monster might destroy the Buddhist temple built here.

Then, the Taoist priest's face was slapped repeatedly.

If something like that really happens, it will be very difficult for me to escape responsibility.

As far as Kyosuke Kosaka is concerned.

If you do something wrong, your superiors or Taoist priests are very likely to cover for you.

It's not because of any moral principles.

It's simply because I am useful and valuable.

If you can't demonstrate your value, then the Taoist priest will also have a difficult time dealing with you.

That's just how real the world is.

Kyosuke Kousaka, now an adult, wouldn't be so much so that the Taoist priest would have to accommodate him.

What kind of boss would accommodate their subordinates?

Kyosuke Kosaka has been a prosecutor for so long and has never encountered anything like this!

"Be quiet and don't disturb the important person."

After giving a few more brief instructions, Kyosuke Kosaka placed the people in some gaps in the Four Gods Barrier.

By the way.

The current situation regarding the Four Gods Barrier is rather delicate.

Without the full protection of the snake god, the barrier is generally only able to intercept monsters of medium strength.

Judging by the standards of the mobile game "Onmyoji"... it should be SR level.

Unfortunately, the barrier was like a semi-circular dome with countless pits of varying sizes.

Some monsters can still crawl through the "pit" and come to Kyoto.

It is estimated that there will be more and more vulnerabilities in the future.

Even so, Kyoto is still a very safe place.

The sheer number of Onmyoji alone is enough to make demons and evil spirits wary.

As the sun sets.

After checking the area around Ukyo again, Kousaka Kyosuke prepared to go back.

He happened to run into Fujiwara Tomoyuki on the way.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki lived in the area of ​​Ukyo Rokujo Avenue, a major residential area for the lower bureaucratic class.

It's also quite close to the several manors I own.

"Zhixing, didn't you say you wanted to invite me for drinks? Do you have any plans?"

Before Fujiwara Tomoyuki could greet him, Kosaka Kyosuke took the initiative to ask.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki immediately bowed respectfully.

"I wonder if Lord Kyosuke will be free tomorrow at 5 PM?"

"it is good."

Kyosuke Kosaka responded and left.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki quickly bowed again.

He has noticed something in the past few days.

That is, Kyosuke Kousaka was deliberately treating the useless fire soldiers like garbage.

However, he also knew very well that there wasn't much wrong with what Kousaka Kyosuke did.

Monsters began to appear in various parts of Kyoto.

Most of the fire soldiers were so frightened by the sight of monsters that their legs went weak.

On the contrary, the new recruits were able to kill them very easily.

It's hard for him not to feel emotional.

When incompetent people hold positions without performing their duties, seriously affecting everyone's lives and safety.

Some things simply have to change.

Even though Fujiwara no Tomoyuki came from the real world, he knew he had to accept this cruelty.

Sometimes, he would make fun of himself.

His maturity level was actually lower than that of a young person whose daughter was about the same age.

"I'm not sure if Kyosuke-sama would be willing to accept it..."

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki became worried again.

He wanted his daughter, who was in her twenties, to have a good future.

Fujiwara Tomoyuki had heard that Kosaka Kyosuke had a wife who was several years older than him.

That's why he wanted to give it a try.

Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be any respectable nobles in Kyoto who would want their daughters.

If successful, the younger daughter will also be able to find a better husband through this connection.

As for marrying an ordinary person?

That's impossible.

Fujiwara no Tomoyuki never even considered it.

Even if you've just worked hard to climb up to the lowest rank of the aristocracy, it's still better than being a commoner.

In this world, status and position are the fundamental factors determining one's quality of life.

It's impossible to abandon the essential for the trivial.

into the night.

Kyosuke Kosaka sent a letter to Shikibu Fuji.

Then it began to slowly brew.

He felt he needed to reassure his partners, as he hadn't had a proper conversation with them for several days.

The palace was bathed in the soft moonlight.

In May, bathed in moonlight, I sat on a straw mat, enjoying the cool breeze, and munched on a meat bun.

She was in a very happy mood.

On one side of the seat, there was a ceramic plate of meat buns, stacked into a pyramid shape.

In fact, most of the ingredients and seasonings were readily available in this era.

Meat buns are also a product of the exquisite culinary skills of Chitanda and Yukinoshita.

"Eating so much meat, be careful you don't gain weight," Nino said, pouting, sitting not far from May.

She was only holding a wild vegetable pancake in her hand.

It's not that there's a lack of food, it's just that we can't eat that much.

May retorted unhappily.

"I'll be very tired later... I need to eat more!"

"..."

Nino didn't say anything more.

She genuinely couldn't bear to tell the truth.

Every time I see May collapse and become weak within minutes, yet still earnestly seek battle again.

She couldn't bear to say it.

Even the newly joined Miss Su Chang silently cheered with a fist pump.

As her sister, she shouldn't be too harsh on her.

"..." Miku remained silent as she stroked the wooden pillar, feeling the texture.
