Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

After all, the most important thing in ensemble playing is harmony and unity.

If the performers are of varying quality, the ensemble will only sound quite unpleasant.

Therefore, the band's main task at present is to improve the members with the lowest skill level, such as Kita Ikuyo, who has only been learning guitar for a short time, and Nijika, who is temporarily unable to improve.

For this reason, Kyosuke Kosaka temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​expanding the band at the manor.

Otherwise, bringing it up would put a lot of pressure on the two girls.

Nijika and Kita Ikuyo are both kind-hearted girls, and Kousaka Kyosuke doesn't want them to fall into a state of anxiety.

"The drummer and the other guitarist had very stable rhythms."

Sonoda Umi praised Nijika and Hoshika.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes this is related to their composed demeanor and equally composed playing style.

To be honest, these two sisters are really normal sisters.

She has a slightly individualistic personality, but not too much of one, giving people the impression of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"No, not really. I remember Kiku secretly telling me about how Hoshika kept failing at cooking. It seems she just doesn't have the talent for housework, just like Mafuyu."

Thinking about all this, Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but chuckle.

On the surface, he did indeed laugh.

The girls who noticed Kyosuke Kousaka's situation felt increasingly relieved.

Among them, Nico Yazawa had the most special feelings for Kyosuke Kousaka.

She never imagined that the problem that had been troubling her would be solved so easily by Kyosuke Kosaka, and she was truly at a loss for words—a mixture of surprise, happiness, and overwhelming gratitude.

"I am so incredibly grateful to Lord Kyosuke! I would never hesitate to do anything Lord Kyosuke asks me to do in the future!"

Nico Yazawa really wanted to say what was on her mind.

But that seemed a bit strange, and might even seem odd to others, so she kept her thoughts to herself.

I plan to train even harder in singing and dancing!

Since her current identity was that of a songstress, that was all she could think of.

Furthermore, Nico Yazawa is also very grateful to Menreiki.

It was thanks to Menreiki's help that Kousaka Kyosuke was able to find out, and she didn't know how to repay her.

Should I offer to help her scrub her back tonight? That's all she can think of right now; she doesn't know anything else she can do to help...

The small banquet, which was actually to celebrate the successful treatment of Menreiki, ended.

Kyosuke Kosaka and Zashiki also went to a quiet cubicle to study the toxin.

"Shaking hands shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"...It's alright, I was just worried that it might hurt you."

It was unusual for Zhen to show signs of unease.

Kyosuke Kosaka said calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. I have a very good constitution, and I won't have any problems even if I swallow your toxins directly."

"No, you can't do that!"

"Okay, I'll just say it—let's not shake hands yet. Now, separate the toxins that your body can control into your palm."

"...Okay, Kyosuke-sama."

When Kosaka Kyosuke said he was joking, Zashiki breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The four clansmen who have now been named "Spring," "Summer," "Autumn," and "Winter" will probably never produce toxins again in their lifetime.

In that case, she is probably the only one left burdened with the fate of loneliness.

Ultimately, having reached adulthood, her body was already filled with toxins that were almost impossible to remove, making her a fearsome presence for many demons.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these toxins that she has been able to lead her chicks through many crises over the years.

Now, to have met a master who has helped her until now... Zhen felt only joy.

I didn't think much about the rest.

The only concern is whether Kyosuke Kousaka will be harmed while researching her toxins.

"I'll touch it a little bit first, and if nothing's wrong, I'll continue."

After seeing the dazzling green light appear in the palm of the snake, Kyosuke Kosaka explained it to her in this way.

A look of worry returned to Zhen's face: "Then, Lord Kyosuke, please be careful."

"Ok."

Kyosuke Kosaka agreed, saying that he wasn't too worried.

He was fully aware of his own condition and was not worried about being poisoned at all.

But since even the poisonous bird was trembling slightly with fear, I couldn't possibly continue to stimulate it, could I?

Take it easy.

And so, Kyosuke Kousaka began to probe step by step.

The process involves gradually placing the poison on your hand to feel its sensation.

The eyes of the poisonous bird widened and widened, eventually developing into exaggerated facial expressions.

This this……

"I'm in very good health, and I'm not kidding."

Kyosuke Kousaka, clutching all the toxins in his hand, smiled at the poison, but actually felt a bit of a headache.

He felt that the toxins were still missing something.

"The original poison could corrupt the souls of Jumping Brother and Jumping Brother, but the one I have now isn't working... Is it because of the fledglings?"

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered to himself, feeling that something was missing.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he realized that the chicks had caused the zombies to suffer because they had lost their poisonous feathers.

Therefore, the focus should still be on the feathers!

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but look at Zashiki's body and noticed that the part of her body with the most feathers was her front.

Feathers, seemingly serving a concealing and decorative purpose, adorn the body like a bodice and a short skirt.

"Lord Kyosuke, the poison in the feathers will be even stronger."

Without misunderstanding, Zhen whispered a reminder.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's okay, I'll give it a try."

"Ah."

Despite her growing anxiety, Zashiki agreed to Kyosuke Kousaka's request.

Immediately, Kyosuke Kosaka reached out and touched the feathers near the legs of the poisonous bird.

Upon contact, the unique fluffy and soft feel of feathers reaches the body's tactile senses.

Got it!

It really is a feather; it should be a poisonous feather!

"Ordinary toxins only involve the physical level, but when feathers are added and it becomes a poisonous feather, it can involve the soul level."

Thinking about all this, Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but feel troubled.

We can't just remove all the feathers from the poisonous bird, can we? Besides, even if we did, it wouldn't make a difference.

The power of the poisonous feathers is no threat to the Yamata no Orochi.

What Kousaka Kyosuke wants is to imitate the power of Poison Feather—that is, to create a corresponding spiritual toxin that can threaten the soul level, just like the poisonous bird!

"I'm afraid I'll have to get to know you more deeply in the future."

"...If there is nothing wrong with Kyosuke-sama's health, I have no objection."

The pheasant's response remained soft and low.

Kyosuke Kosaka was very embarrassed.

Considering that continuing to be awkward would be just being pretentious, he simply stopped saying anything more.

The most important thing is to study the toxins used to combat Yamata no Orochi!

Hmm, we should also see what Zhen thinks... He doesn't seem to care much about poison.

Day 455 of crossing

Today, resting at home, Kyosuke Kosaka pondered how to research the poison, while also spending some time with his bedchamber companions.

Kiryuin Fuuka, who had gotten up early, gave him a farewell ceremony that lasted several minutes before leaving readily.

Yesterday, the relationship between Kiryuin Fuuka and Kiryuin Fuuka was officially confirmed.

The atmosphere in the sleeping quarters remained as natural and harmonious as ever.

"It's totally a carnivore."
