Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Even with high luck and powerful artifacts, it's still better to have more helpers.

"I'm stationed here in Kyoto, and I'd also like to ask Lord Ara about some divination matters, so please all return safely."

Yaobikuni smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and replied, "That's fine, perhaps this way you can make the most of your potential."

Confronting evil gods is dangerous, but is it truly safe here in Kyoto? I wonder which evil god's world I'll be going to? Who will I encounter? Xunxiangxing? Ji? Yanling... I hope things go smoothly.

470. Salted Fish / Farewell and Journey to Another World / Gluttony

The task of going to the Gate of Six Paths to kill the evil god is not something to be done immediately.

Therefore, Kousaka Kyosuke also took advantage of the time while Ara was preparing to open the Six Paths Gate to diligently begin writing letters.

My daily task is to write letters to my partners.

It's not that we can't use the threads of fate from the God of Marriage as a means of communication, but the space in the world is not stable now, so it's best not to do something that might be risky.

Even if it's just a little bit, it's best to avoid it.

In short, writing letters is indeed the best way for people to communicate.

"It's just that sending letters unilaterally can always feel a bit lonely..."

Back at his lodgings, Kyosuke Kosaka wrote a letter while pondering the things he needed to do before leaving.

If I could, I'd really like to sneak back and meet everyone.

But if you have to part ways so soon after spending a short time together, then it's better to just let it go.

Once he restores stability to the world, we'll have a long time together.

"Kyosuke, should I fill the space with food and water this time?" Kagura asked curiously.

Under Kyosuke Kousaka's guidance, Kagura had long ago mastered spatial magic to store items.

However, she usually doesn't put much stuff in there.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "Yes, we might get separated by accident when we go to the world of evil gods inside the Six Paths Gate. If we are transported to a place with little food and water, that would probably be bad."

In fact, he had been able to survive for a long time without eating, using the spiritual energy that roamed the world as his food.

Even without doing that, his own strength alone would be enough to go without food or water for many years.

Of course, it's not worth doing this, as it can easily lead to a gradual loss of humanity, so he just eats and drinks normally.

As for having Kagura bring food and water?

He felt that it was best not to eat anything from the evil god's world.

Otherwise, you might really encounter a lot of trouble.

Nowadays, whether it's the Yamata no Orochi or those evil gods.

Kyosuke Kosaka believed that under certain conditions, they would not mind using special means.

Especially those evil gods whose prestige is even lower than that of Yamata no Orochi.

"Although I don't really want to praise Orochi, as a villain, he does have his own standards... at least his habit of giving some 'little tests' is commendable."

To be honest, Kyosuke Kosaka has no doubt that he has been spared by Orochi many times.

The more aware he became of his own strength, the more he understood the gap in power between himself and Orochi.

Even if someone takes him very seriously, they will most likely defeat him instantly.

It was precisely because of Orochi's personality, or his divine nature, that he "liked to have fun," that Kyosuke Kousaka was able to survive time and time again.

Luck may be a fluke, but it's all just luck.

If we encounter the Yamata no Orochi this time, we should still charge straight in; that's the principle.

"What does Longkui like to eat? You can only bring dry food."

Having received an explanation from Kyosuke Kousaka, Kagura then inquired about Longkui, who had emerged from the demon sword.

Longkui has finished her rest and is now out for some fresh air.

She was now reclining on a luxurious couch covered with soft blankets in a somewhat undignified posture.

"Give me some dried fruit."

"No more?"

“Yes, that’s all I need,” Longkui replied quickly.

I felt very comfortable.

No matter where she was, she found herself well taken care of by each of Kyosuke Kousaka's wives.

Although she hadn't originally planned to take care of Kyosuke Kousaka's daily needs, after secretly comparing herself to these professionals, she decided against it.

I should just stay in this role and continue fighting, just like I did back then.

"..."

While still writing a letter, Kyosuke Kousaka glanced at Longkui and noticed that she looked like a salted fish.

This applies to both their posture and their mindset.

Upon closer reflection, this was exactly the life he had always been pursuing; it's just that as his position rose higher and higher, problems kept arising almost without warning.

"Why don't you lie down for a while after you finish writing the letter?"

The thought flashed through Kyosuke Kousaka's mind.

They're very busy now, but they'll probably be even busier once Huang is able to completely open the gap in the Six Paths Gate and let them in.

However, taking a short break seems quite nice.

Not long after, after finishing his letter, Kyosuke Kousaka, like Longkui, lazily lay down on the tatami opposite Longkui in what he considered the most comfortable way.

When Kagura returned and saw this scene, she tilted her head and simply went to lie quietly on the small bed to the side. She lay down more upright than Kousaka Kyosuke and Ryuki, and even covered herself with a blanket...

Feeling comfortable.

This is the current situation of the three people.

It was around noon.

Everyone had just finished a sumptuous meal when Yaobikuni arrived.

"So? We can go to the Six Paths Gate now, right?"

Kousaka Kyosuke asked proactively.

Yaobikuni's earlier statement about seeking advice from Ara was not something he deliberately ignored, thus he suspected that Ara might be grooming a "successor."

Furthermore, it seems that Yaobikuni was indeed staying on Ara's side, helping out in some way.

“Yes, we can go anytime. It seems the timing is just right,” Yaobikuni said with a smile.

The delicious aroma of the food still lingered in the air.

Only people with normal noses can tell what has just been eaten.

In contrast to Kyosuke Kousaka's three meals a day.

Everyone still ate two meals a day in a very proper manner, so Yaobikuni's teasing wasn't wrong at all.

"Alright, let's go! Watch me defeat those evil gods!"

Kyosuke Kosaka said with great flair, which could easily be described as chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

But that's not important; what's important is that the atmosphere can't be serious.

He doesn't like serious atmospheres.

Sure enough, not only Yaobikuni laughed, but Kagura and Longkui also became more lively.

The group then headed towards the desolate area.

They discovered that there were quite a few people over there. Not only Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Shiro had come, but also Fujiwara no Michitsuna, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Onikiri, Minamoto no Yorihei, and others.

Did you come here specifically to say goodbye?

"This occasion seems a bit too formal?" Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but tease.

Fujiwara no Michitsuna laughed as well: "After all, this time you will be facing evil gods head-on, and while these evil gods are weaker than the Yamata no Orochi, they are only weaker than the Yamata no Orochi..."

"Don't worry, I'm the man who swears to smash my fist into the face of Orochi!" Kousaka Kyosuke said arrogantly, clenching his fist.

If we don't say it this way, how else can we say it?

Since we can only move forward and not backward, we can be as arrogant as we want.

“Let’s use a sword,” Minamoto no Yorimitsu interjected. “Fists can only vent anger, but a sword can cut off the source of all this.”

Kousaka Kyosuke saw that Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words sounded serious, but something about them seemed off.

"Okay, I understand."

In fact, he really intended to use the Demon Sword to behead Orochi when the opportunity arose, and then use a sealing technique to control him first.

In this way, the initiative gradually comes into play.
