Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"That's right, this really happened." Huang affirmed the fact.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "If it's Ame-no-Mikoto, her divine power hasn't been restored yet..."

“One person isn’t enough, so how about two?” Huang said.

For some reason, Kyosuke Kousaka suddenly thought of a familiar god.

"Lord Ara, are you talking about Lord Enmusubi? And Lord Inari... uh, none of them seem quite right."

Neither of these two deities seems quite suited to dancing.

The former, in particular, feels very out of place.

I feel like I'm about to explode if I just look at it!

“The powerful priestess possesses the power to pray to the gods.”

"Oh, and Kagura too."

Kyosuke Kousaka almost forgot about Kagura, who possessed psychic powers.

Kagura tilted her head, understanding, and said, "I will try my best."

485. Prayer Dance / Return to the Manor / A Special Combination

"We need more than just Kagura; we need more dancers."

Huang added more details.

Minamoto no Hiromasa was getting a little anxious, feeling that Ara was keeping him in suspense again, and couldn't help but ask for details.

"Lord Ara, could you please explain things more clearly?"

"As Yaobikuni said, Amaterasu once fell into a deep slumber in the Ama-no-Iwato due to her weakened power. At that time, Ame-no-Tsurugi gathered the prayers of all beings through a divine dance, which awakened Amaterasu. This is the origin of the Divine Dance..."

Huang slowly began to explain.

Yaobikuni chuckled, "It really is almost exactly as the legend says."

Minamoto no Hiromasa immediately said, "Since the Prayer Dance can awaken Amaterasu-sama, then we can also have skilled dancers in Kyoto join in and contribute. I can go and gather them right away."

When Kousaka Kyosuke heard Minamoto no Hiromasa say that, he suddenly realized that his brother-in-law was now quite adept at using power.

Unlike before, Minamoto no Hiromasa showed a less than receptive attitude towards power.

Now, he has adapted to the role of a general.

They are also willing to use their power reasonably under certain conditions.

If he were to go a step further and become a more normal nobleman, his parents-in-law, namely Minamoto no Hiromasa and Kagura's parents, would surely be very pleased.

However, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that there was a higher probability that Minamoto no Hiromasa would go off to train after the war.

But Kyosuke Kosaka still remembered that he wanted to go to the Central Plains with him, and he was thinking about how to get rid of him.

“Your idea is not feasible,” Huang said bluntly. “The method of praying to the gods is extremely dangerous for the dancer. Without sufficient divine power, one will be unable to withstand the prayers of the people and will lose one’s mind and die by burning.”

"—?!"

Upon hearing only half a sentence and preparing to ask for the reason, Minamoto no Hiromasa was immediately stunned, his face showing a striking look of astonishment.

Again.

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered to himself, knowing that Minamoto no Hiromasa's sister complex was acting up again, so he spoke first.

"Therefore, we can only find dancers with the same qualifications as Kagura."

"But this kind of thing..."

“Brother Boya, I know you mean well, but awakening Amaterasu is the most important thing.”

Kagura walked over to Minamoto no Hiromasa and said something, seemingly trying to comfort him.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head inwardly, unsure of what to say.

"Kyosuke-san isn't worried at all," Yaobikuni teased Kousaka Kyosuke with a smile.

Without a second thought, Kousaka Kyosuke replied, "I believe in Kagura."

Yes, he also has more confidence in himself.

Over time, his own mark was left on Kagura, which naturally gave him considerable "control" over her.

Therefore, no matter what danger Kagura encounters, Kyosuke Kousaka can always come to her aid immediately.

By the way.

It wasn't that Kousaka Kyosuke had a morbid possessiveness, but rather that he had an almost obsessive wariness of Yamata no Orochi.

Kagura's power can indeed harm Orochi, which is very important under certain conditions.

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't believe that Orochi, who seems to look down on people but is actually cautious, would be indifferent to this.

Therefore, ever since he established a relationship with Kagura, he has been checking on Kagura's body from time to time.

"I always felt that Mr. Kyosuke was not being sincere."

"Stop guessing. You're a fortune teller, not a mind reader."

Kousaka Kyosuke rolled his eyes at Yaobikuni, then his gaze involuntarily fell on Seimei, who was deep in thought with his eyes downcast.

Seeing that the protagonist seemed rather serious and hadn't said much yet, he wondered if something had happened.

If it requires a fight, he wouldn't mind going over and dealing with it now.

"Mr. Seimei is probably thinking about who might be qualified to be a dancer."

Yaobikuni continued to amuse herself by guessing what others were thinking.

Unexpectedly, Seimei, who was still pondering, suddenly replied, "That's right. I am indeed thinking about the candidates for the dancer, but in this world, only the former Tenten-onna is the most suitable for this task."

Huang rarely showed a slight hint of surprise on his face.

"That's right, Tian Dian Nu was the most suitable dancer in this world to perform the prayer dance, but Tian Dian Nu is no longer in this world..."

Tengen-no-onna, also known as Suzuhiko-hime, who did not want to become a god again.

A guest at Kyosuke Kosaka's manor.

She was formerly the holy maiden of the Snow Mountain tribe.

Now he is settling down with the Snow Mountain people and seems to be getting along well with Yuanjieshen, Sushang and others.

Kousaka Kyosuke had heard Su Chang mention some of it.

Yaobikuni: "Lord Ara, Mr. Seimei, do you mean to go to other worlds to find dancers who are no less beautiful than Ame-no-Omi?"

“I’m already taking action, no need to worry,” Huang replied.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Even so, it is still necessary to find more qualified people who can help."

The revival of Amaterasu is a crucial part of saving the world.

Without the leadership of this God-King, defeating Yamata no Orochi, or even another more powerful God of Destruction, would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Kyosuke Kousaka had considered the possibility of fighting Orochi. Even if Orochi was so powerful that there was a very high probability that Kyosuke could kill him, he was still willing to give it a shot.

Because there is still a tiny bit of a chance.

However, if the opponent is the Goddess of Destruction, who is also the source of the [Power of Creation], [Power of Destruction], and [Power of Reincarnation]—Izanami, Kousaka Kyosuke would definitely back down.

This kind of creator god-level being is no longer a question of whether or not you can defeat it.

Aside from using cunning, resorting to brute force to fight is absolutely foolish and a recipe for disaster.

That's why Kousaka Kyosuke placed his hopes on the three noble children: Amaterasu, Susanoo, and Ara.

"People should be aware of their own position. If there is no other way to choose, they should not do anything irrational."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens"—it's easy to say, but when faced with a truly formidable challenge, one must accurately assess one's own capabilities.

Let's go back to the original question.

Upon hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's suggestion, Ara turned his gaze to Kousaka Kyosuke.

"I will find a dancer to replace Tiandiannu; the selection of other qualified dancers is up to you."

"...This entrustment is a bit strange."

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression became subtle.

Ara added, "Also, Kyoto was originally the best place for the prayer dance, but I gradually realized that there is another place that is more suitable."

"Yes, I understand what Lord Ara means. However, the Prayer Dance requires the gathering of prayer power, which means it needs a place where people gather. Although there are quite a few people on my side, it is still much less than in Kyoto."

"As long as you agree, that's fine. As for this matter, we'll conduct it in Kyoto in the same way as the trial of Orochi."

"..."

Which method was it again?

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly froze.
