Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Hmm... If it doesn't align with divine power, just pretend you've never heard of it. Now let me examine each one of you. It'll be quick, won't take you long."

As soon as Suzuhiko-hime spoke, she explained the whole matter and what she needed to do.

Then, Kyosuke Kosaka silently watched Suzuhiko-hime act—

"Since our divine powers don't match, how about you come over for a walk? Thank you for your trouble."

"Your divine power is not compatible. You can sit down, have some tea and snacks, and rest. Thank you for your hard work."

"You don't need it, you don't need it. Shiranui, your demonic power is strong enough. You don't need the enhancement of divine power."

“Cherry blossom spirit, peach blossom spirit, um... why don’t you make a contract with Kyosuke? Your spirit power is still a bit insufficient.”

Why are you mentioning me?

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was quietly drinking tea, looked completely bewildered.

"This..." The cherry blossom fairy and the peach blossom fairy, who had only exchanged a few words with Suzuhiko-hime, were just as bewildered as Kousaka Kyosuke.

They were invited here, and they certainly didn't mind being asked to dance.

How did it all turn into a contract with Kyosuke Kousaka in the blink of an eye?

“I’d be happy to do that.”

Kyosuke Kousaka, who quickly regained his senses, was the first to speak.

He didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward.

"Huh?" The peach blossom fairy didn't expect Kousaka Kyosuke to agree so quickly, and immediately gave Kousaka Kyosuke a happy smile, "That's great, it's a great honor to become Kyosuke-sama's shikigami."

An honor?

Kousaka Kyosuke wasn't sure if that was true, but he just thought it sounded really nice.

How about you say a little more?

He almost said it sarcastically.

However, this inevitably makes it seem frivolous.

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly stood up, his expression solemn, and he didn't forget to show a faint smile to express his goodwill.

“I also feel very honored.”

"Lord Kyosuke, you don't need to do this..."

The cherry blossom fairy, who was about to speak, lost her composure upon seeing Kousaka Kyosuke's posture and appeared slightly flustered.

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly wondered if this was his fault.

But if you're too casual, it will seem like you don't take others seriously.

That's even worse.

"The Sakura Fairy is willing to become Kyosuke-sama's shikigami, isn't she?" a gentle voice interjected.

The speaker was a silver-haired girl with twin ponytails—Shiranui.

Kyosuke Kosaka breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thanks for saving the day.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but turn his attention to another familiar shikigami.

Who is it? It's the Moon Chaser.

This rabbit-eared girl is a deity, and her divine power is abundant due to the large number of believers, so naturally she doesn't need to have her divine power compatibility checked by Suzuhiko-hime.

Therefore, he is now sitting quietly at a table, drinking tea, and exudes a sacred aura.

When the young girls saw her, their eyes were filled with admiration and respect.

For some reason, Kyosuke Kosaka recalled the scene when they first met, when he was being carried around like a little rabbit.

The familiar whimpering sounds seemed to echo in my ears.

"—!"

A pair of light pink rabbit ears stood up slightly.

Through some kind of connection, or rather, some special intuition, Tsuki-gami could sense that her master, Kousaka Kyosuke, was thinking about something that made her unhappy.

What exactly is 仌?

She was no longer in the mood to think about these things; all she wanted to do was glare at Kyosuke Kousaka.

"Honestly, they seem so serious, but they're a completely different person underneath..."

The Moon Chaser muttered to himself.

In reality, she harbored no rebellious intentions towards Kousaka Kyosuke and could only complain quietly in secret.

Of course, those so-called complaints were not mixed with any negative emotions.

It was just a casual remark.

Let's return our focus to the field.

Shiranui, along with Sakura and Peach Blossom Fairy, sat down to the side and chatted quietly, while Kousaka Kyosuke continued to sit in the main seat like a mascot.

Kagura, who was originally accompanying him, was going to meditate for a while, intending to wait until she was in better condition to learn the prayer dance from Suzuhiko-hime.

Su Yi continued with her work.

So now only Kyosuke Kousaka remains.

It wasn't that he didn't know anyone, but everyone was busy with important matters, even the Moon Chaser, who was quietly alone. It was inconvenient for Kousaka Kyosuke to disturb him.

As for why they don't leave?

Is it because they're thinking about whether they have enough people to get information about the dancers from Suzuhiko-hime as soon as possible?

If that's not enough, he'll immediately go and bring over a batch from Kyoto.

Ultimately, Kyosuke Kosaka wasn't entirely sure if the Prayer Dance was difficult, or if it would require a lot of time to learn.

Regardless, we should compress the time frame to the maximum extent possible in this uncertain early stage.

Two quarters of an hour later.

To his surprise, Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that among those who hadn't been screened out by Suzuhiko were some of the dancers he knew.

It was the team that his sworn sister was in.

"After all, she was a dancer carefully selected from among the elite dancers of the Lingzhi Kingdom, so it's quite normal for her to have the talent for performing the Prayer Dance..."

Kyosuke Kousaka began to understand somewhat.

Yes, Honoka's team was originally a team of dancers.

However, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that having women dance in the manor would easily arouse the desires of some men, so he took precautions and never intended for women to dance in the first place.

If you play music or sing, people will just listen to the music; if they complain, let them complain.

When it comes to playing music and dancing, Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't believe that all men can refrain from having other thoughts.

That's probably what happened.

Now, the dancing is a prayer dance, the most sacred kind of prayer dance. Kousaka Kyosuke thinks that anyone who still has any impure thoughts probably needs to be disciplined.

It is indeed a world where gods exist.

If someone were to display such disrespect, it wouldn't be surprising if they were to suffer divine retribution.

“We have enough people,” Suzuhiko said with a bang. “If there are no problems with Lord Ara, then everything will be completely settled!”

"Row."

Kyosuke Kosaka replied succinctly, knowing that he didn't need to return to Kyoto any further.

Let Fujiwara no Michitsuna handle how to explain things to them.

Moreover, he did indeed need to make a lot of preparations.

Prepare for the almost inevitable accidents that will occur during the ceremony...

After all, Orochi wasn't stupid, and neither was the evil god. Knowing that they wanted to awaken Amaterasu, there was no way they wouldn't take action.

Therefore, the manor may become a battlefield.

Kyosuke Kosaka was also prepared to evacuate first.

He would ask about the evacuation location first.

Presumably, Huang has taken this into consideration.

This god, who seems to often slack off, is actually extremely reliable, and Kyosuke Kousaka trusts him a great deal.

It has the same level of trust as Seimei.

So when asked for my opinion, I agreed without hesitation.

Of course, the other partners need to be appeased first.

The priority level is—plain clothes.

This wife has put so much effort into this place; it would be heartbreaking to see all of this suddenly disappear.
