Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1107

The enemy they will face next is the most ferocious evil god in mythology—Yamata no Orochi.

Kyosuke Kosaka often talked about these things with her and his other sisters and companions.

Therefore, she was confident in her abilities.

There may be some panic, but the degree of panic is relatively limited.

Knowing the specific enemy, everyone is willing to unite as one to deal with it.

Since they've already put in so much effort, all they can do is try their best and leave the rest to fate.

Say.

Even her husband, Kyosuke Kousaka, was so composed.

As the wife, she certainly couldn't be afraid.

To be honest, Miku thinks that as long as Kyosuke Kousaka is by her side, that's enough.

There are other things she doesn't want to delve into.

"There's no point in talking about these things anymore, let's just live in the moment," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Miku nodded firmly.

Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and continued leading Miku forward.

"It's right to explain things clearly to your wives. Not knowing anything doesn't necessarily bring happiness; only by clearly and objectively understanding one's own situation can one feel more at peace."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

The enemy is terrifying, extremely terrifying.

But the unknown enemy is even more terrifying.

Being suspicious all the time is not a good thing.

Knowing the specific enemy and making various proper preparations for it, wouldn't that give you a sense of security?

Call it a futile attempt to stop a chariot, or call it self-deception.

The important thing is to enable people to clearly see the future.

Ignoring these concerns, the two continued on their way.

We arrived at Mount Oe.

Kyosuke Kousaka carried the fragments of the sake gourd given to him by Shuten-dōji and made his way through.

"I forgot to tell you. The demons and monsters here are quite ferocious. If humans trespass, they will become food, and they will also devour each other."

"Wouldn't this be detrimental to development?"

Miku's expression remained unchanged when faced with the topic of bloodshed.

She had listened with interest to many of Kyosuke Kousaka's accounts of the war, and she was quite accustomed to them.

Of course, she also admitted that she is still afraid of seeing bloody things.

"Yes, that was before. Now, with the Ghost King in power, the ghosts under his command don't devour each other."

Kousaka Kyosuke relieved Miku's doubts.

Miku looked thoughtful.

"In this dog-eat-dog world of monsters, the demon race does need a leader to guide them, otherwise they will easily be bullied by other races."

Kyosuke Kousaka had told her many stories about yokai (supernatural beings).

This also includes the types of monsters.

The Oni race is a well-known class.

These demons lived near Kyoto and were warlike, which attracted the attention of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, making them a target.

As for the aquatic creatures who are peaceful and have almost no evil deeds in their daily lives—namely, the yokai living in the Arakawa River led by the Lord of Arakawa.

They have never been targeted in any way.

In fact, they contributed greatly to the fight against the siren invasion, which made most people take notice.

This is a very stark contrast.

"Hahahaha... Woman, I have to sincerely admit that you have better taste than anyone else!"

A burst of laughter rang out.

The birds perched on the branches of the tall trees in the distance were so frightened that they flew away on the spot, and a rumbling sound of running could be heard from the forest not far away.

The phrase "birds scatter and beasts lie in ambush" describes this situation perfectly.

Kyosuke Kosaka watched as a burly, mountain-like man walked towards him, laughing loudly, and he was speechless.

I should have known better than to mention Shuten-dōji.

The result was a "drunkard".

"Shuten-dōji is like a bright lighthouse in a chaotic world! He is exceptionally strong, intelligent, and frighteningly calm and cautious! This is my dearest friend, Shuten-dōji! The man who will soon reign supreme among the demons!"

"Please, I'm on a date. Let's talk at another time."

"Oh? You really want to hear it. If you want to hear it, I will tell you more about Shuten-dōji's virtues, but it will take three days and three nights to tell you."

"too horrible."

"Woman, you're right again! This is the terrifying aspect of Shuten-dōji!"

Ibaraki-dōji, who had come over, cast a friendly glance at Miku.

Kyosuke Kousaka, however, felt extremely troubled.

"Is this guy planning to start talking now?"

"I have a bottle of sake here; could you please give it to Shuten-dōji? And please also convey my gratitude; I am very thankful for his generosity in allowing my wife and me to come..."

Kyosuke Kosaka had no choice but to resort to shifting his target.

Normally, he would definitely be facing off against Ibaraki-dōji.

Miku was still there at that time.

We need to be more moderate in our actions.

"Oh? The aroma of this wine is actually comparable to Shuten-dōji's 'divine wine'..."

Ibaraki-dōji accepted it with great enthusiasm.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's made with exceptionally high-quality rice. Thank you for your help."

"Haha, very good, I'll send it over right away!"

Ibaraki-dōji laughed again, grabbed the sake, and rushed towards the top of Mt. Ōe.

A cloud of dust billowed up.

Kyosuke Kousaka used magic to block the billowing dust, feeling a bit exhausted.

"Ibaraki-dōji and Shuten-dōji have a very good relationship."

Miku looked very excited.

Ibaraki-dōji.

Shuten-doji.

How could she not know these two infamous demons?

Seeing it with my own eyes now is like witnessing myths and legends, and history unfold before my very eyes.

Great!

"Just like the relationship between Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji."

"Hehe, I'm quite curious about what it will be like when Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji see Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji. It must be very interesting~"

"I think Ibaraki-dōji will definitely offend Ibaraki-dōji."

"Huh? That's what I thought too."

Miku still has a strong impression of those two frogs.

Just like Ibaraki-doji, Ibaraki-doji really likes to praise Shuten-doji.

Then, Ibaraki-dōji will be very angry when he sees a frog dressed up as Shuten-dōji, and Ibaraki-dōji will defend Shuten-dōji...

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's keep going forward. That's where we had our final battle. I need to tell you about it in detail."

"Yes, I will listen carefully."

Miku smiled slightly at Kousaka Kyosuke, feeling increasingly happy.

The husband was willing to cater to her preferences with such enthusiasm.

She was so touched and so happy.

A little later.
