Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 972

That would waste even more time and energy.

"Kyosuke-sama? It turns out to be Kyosuke-sama from Kyoto!"

One by one, the Onmyoji and the samurai fought fiercely, and within a few breaths, someone rushed to meet Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka was stunned by this drastic move, but he tried his best to remain calm.

"How is Lord Daozhen doing?"

"He is leading everyone to guard the east side, where the State Secretariat is located."

“Then I’ll go over there. This is my assistant, Kagura. She will help you defeat her.”

"There's no need for that, Lord Kyosuke. You should take your assistants and go support Lord Michisada..." the leading Onmyoji hurriedly said.

Kyosuke Kosaka surveyed the situation and, finding that the overall situation was still under control, acquiesced to this approach.

After all, he didn't want Kagura to leave his sight in such a chaotic situation unless there was something wrong.

then.

Following instructions, Kousaka Kyosuke quickly led Kagura to the provincial governor's office in Izumi Province.

Upon arriving at their destination, the two discovered that outside the State Administration Office, a dignified middle-aged man with a refined appearance was leading a group of warriors in a battle against monsters.

Kyosuke Kosaka and Kagura immediately provided support.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the monsters fell silent.

"Are you Lord Kyosuke?"

"I am. Is this valiant man Lord Dojeong?"

"Hahaha... You flatter me. I'm so sorry to have kept you so busy, Kyosuke-sama, and to have you see me in such a disheveled state."

"They were clearly heroic, so how can you say they were disheveled?"

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and praised the middle-aged man named Michisada Tachibana.

My mind was blown—I didn't know Izumi Shikibu's husband was so handsome!

Yes, I heard that Izumi Shikibu wrote many love songs for Tachibana Michisada, which proves that Tachibana Michisada has great charm.

The problem lies with that prince's exceptional talent for poaching women.

"There is a being who commands monsters here. I wonder if Lord Kyosuke could help resolve this?" After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tachibana no Michisada suddenly made a request.

Kyosuke Kosaka readily agreed.

"This is certainly my duty. However, there might be something to be careful about. These monsters belong to the Oni clan, and the reason they are united is because there is a leader among them. Killing him could very likely cause the other Oni clans to fall apart completely..."

"Is it possible to negotiate with them?"

"That might work, because the demon race values ​​strength very much. If we can defeat him completely, we can order him to leave this place with the other demons."

"Then let's try this method first," Tachibana Michisada said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Kousaka Kyosuke nodded, quite surprised by Tachibana Michisada's boldness.

Surprisingly, they quickly put aside their so-called grudges and only wanted to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

No wonder he became the chief minister of this capital region.

After that.

Kyosuke Kosaka declined Tachibana Michisada's invitation to visit, and instead took Kagura to continue his campaign against other yokai in Izumi Province, intending to find the leader of the oni clan first.

"Kyosuke, there's an oxcart over there..."

"I saw."

Upon hearing Kagura's reminder, Kyosuke Kousaka, who was flying in the air, casually killed the monster with a few spiritual strikes from a distance and flew straight to the location of the oxcart.

Since those who could ride in oxcarts were undoubtedly from the aristocratic class, he had an obligation to properly resolve the situation once he saw it.

"Are you okay?"

Upon reaching the oxcart, Kyosuke Kosaka addressed a black-haired maid who was still standing in front of it.

The maid was unusual; she had strange marks and small holes on her ears. Kousaka Kyosuke's thoughts raced, and he suddenly realized that she was a modern person, which explained the marks on her earrings and ear bridges.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Onmyoji."

"It's nothing, I'm basically late..."

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at the several human corpses around him and said regretfully.

"Alas, they..." The maid looked sad, and finally couldn't help but walk over to a place and close the eyes of a maid dressed like her who died with her eyes wide open.

Kyosuke Kosaka sighed inwardly, just about to say something.

A silver—no, a slightly pinkish-silver-colored thing—flew out from the oxcart and pounced on Kousaka Kyosuke. At the last second, Kousaka Kyosuke withdrew his attack and quickly caught it.

He'd barely caught it when a hysterical scream rang out, nearly tearing Kousaka Kyosuke's ears apart... What the hell?!

243. Sagiri? Izumi Sagiri? /Female Tengu/Solution and Return

"Ahhhh-"

The childish yet shrill cry was like a knife slicing through glass, exceptionally piercing and frightening.

Kyosuke Kosaka was almost startled!

However, she still tried her best to suppress the unusually uncomfortable emotions and gently stroked the creature that was hugging her—a petite girl like Kagura.

The silver and silver-pink colors we just saw are the girl's hair colors.

The girl's silver hair had a slight pinkish tint.

very nice.

"good."

Hearing the cries continue, Kyosuke Kosaka could only try his best to soothe the person he was in.

Make sure you know that his head-patting skill is maxed out.

He pats the head of Kagura, Komachi, Susa, Moeha, and others every day. In addition to them, other partners who occasionally act cute towards him also receive the same treatment.

Therefore, for Kyosuke Kosaka, the skill of patting heads must be improved to the extreme.

Like his hands, they were always kept clean.

When touching someone's head, they will also smooth out any slightly messy strands of hair.

In order to minimize the trouble for their partner.

Otherwise, if they mess up their carefully styled hair from early morning, even the most good-tempered woman would be a little annoyed.

"woo woo woo woo……"

The screams subsided, and the silver-haired girl buried her face in Kousaka Kyosuke's arms, whimpering.

The black-haired maid, who had been stroking the eyes of her deceased colleague, was quite embarrassed.

I wanted to go forward, but I wasn't sure if it was appropriate.

Kagura understood the situation perfectly and quietly walked over to tug at the hem of the black-haired maid's dress.

She was very familiar with this kind of thing.

When she first woke up, she hadn't regained her memory yet. All she remembered was the deep darkness that terrified her, and then she knew nothing else. Fortunately, her husband held her, which made her feel completely at ease.

From that time on, Kagura believed that as long as her husband was there, her life had meaning.

Nothing else matters.

Even as she gradually matured and fully regained her childhood memories, she never changed.

The reason I haven't been too clingy these days is simply because I don't want to bother Kyosuke Kousaka too much.

After all, Kyosuke Kosaka also needs to spend time with his other companions.

I already have enough.

Most importantly, we need to make Kyosuke Kousaka happy.

"After we're done with this, Kyosuke will take me sightseeing on the way..."

Kagura happily imagined the wonderful days to come.

At the same time, they did not forget to use their senses to perceive the specific situation around them.

In contrast.

The maid, caught in a dilemma, was quite at a loss.

She probably understood that her young mistress, out of fear, wanted to hug her, but ended up hugging the wrong person.

The Onmyoji being held didn't seem to care much and gently comforted him.

So what should we do now?

Forget it, so be it.

It's not appropriate to touch other people's hands after I've just touched the deceased.
