Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 877

Kyosuke Kosaka scratched his face: "Yes, this is the safest method, and it also requires us to make the least sacrifice."

"Looks pretty good, isn't it? No one died, isn't that a good thing?"

The Goddess of Fate, sipping hot tea and eating snacks, looked completely at ease, as if she were on vacation.

Since becoming involved with Kyosuke Kousaka, she has stayed behind because her condition hasn't been fully cured, and spends her days taking Kasumigaoka around trying to find a few couples to marry.

Su Chang tilted her head and thought for a moment: "That makes sense."

A monster died on Seven Horns Mountain, but that has nothing to do with them.

Just mind your own business, isn't that enough?

"When fighting breaks out again at Seven Horns Mountain, we will still go to provide support, but the threat from the Sirens will likely limit our support."

Kousaka Kyosuke said again.

Su Yi softly agreed: "That makes perfect sense. After all, there are tens of thousands of sirens. If they really gather all their forces together for an attack, a tragedy like that of Kyoto Port will occur."

Princess Goldfish looked dejected.

"...Arakawa was the same way. The number of sea monsters back then was countless. Looking back now, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resist even if it happened again."

Kousaka Kyosuke coughed dryly.

"Not necessarily. If I hold off Ōtakemaru, you can take care of the weaker ones first, and you'll still have a chance to win."

Princess Goldfish frantically waved her hands: "This can't go on! Ōtakemaru wielding the divine weapon is too unfair. Once the weapon's power is activated, you're still very likely to get hurt..."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's nothing."

"No need, no need..."

Princess Goldfish became increasingly panicked.

The God of Fate joked, "That's just a hypothetical situation. We'll talk about it when it actually happens."

Princess Goldfish was taken aback at first, then secretly puffed out her cheeks.

"Even if it's a hypothetical situation, let us finish speaking!"

Kasumigaoka, noticing the expression on Kingyo's face, found it somewhat amusing.

During the days she spent at the Water Department Manor with the Goddess of Fate, she basically learned the whole story.

I also admire Kousaka Kyosuke for being willing to fight Ootakemaru to the death.

"By the way, Kyosuke, haven't you found someone to play matchmaker yet?" the God of Fate asked again.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "This matter is not urgent. We can deal with it when I return to Kyoto."

There are still some candidates in the mansion who have formed a tacit understanding, such as Haruno, Fuyumi, and Horikita Suzune.

We can establish a relationship at the same time.

As for the remaining divine power in his body, it can be suppressed for the time being.

—Since he was quite familiar with the power of the divine force, Kyosuke Kousaka was able to suppress it to a certain extent, so as long as he wasn't seriously injured, suppressing it wouldn't be a problem.

If you're really seriously injured, then just suppress it forcibly.

Because he himself possesses many forbidden and secret techniques, but simply chooses not to use them.

With these safeguards in place, Kyosuke Kousaka wasn't too worried.

"Lord of Fate, do you really want to help people find their match?" Su Chang seemed to have noticed the God of Fate's situation.

The God of Fate sighed, "There are too few women here, making it too difficult to find a partner. The situation is even worse with the believers; none of them believe I am a deity..."

Kyosuke Kosaka encouraged him, "I can't help you with this. Good luck with your efforts."

Publicly supporting a particular deity can be considered a matter of religious conflict.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want to be targeted by any of the gods in Takamagahara.

"Alas, when will my shrine be filled with worshippers? If any of you pray sincerely, I will surely grant you better marriage prospects."

The God of Fate lamented his fate, and as he spoke, he turned his gaze to the others.

At the tea party, there were actually only Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura, Suyi Sushang, Yaodao Hime, Hakuro, and Kasumigaoka.

Chitanda and Shizuko didn't come; they were still working.

“I consider myself to have been devout enough,” Kousaka Kyosuke said first after hearing the words of the Goddess of Fate.

Su Yi: "Besides worshipping my ancestors, I only have a connection with the God of Destiny."

Su Chang: "Me too."

Kagura: "I only worship Tsuki and Lord Enmusubi."

Yaodao-hime: "I don't even know if I'm truly devout?"

White Wolf: "Yes, I'm like the Demon Blade Princess, it's a bit hard to explain."

Princess Goldfish: "I don't know how to put it, but I guess I have some faith in you..."

As the god of destiny listened to each person's speech, his mood immediately worsened.

That's such a blow to God!

Feeling quite depressed, the God of Fate simply ate a lot.

Thus, Kyosuke Kousaka was fortunate enough to witness the Goddess of Love's feast once again.

There's a certain feeling in his eyes that this god seems to overlap with someone else's...

The tea party has ended.

With her slightly protruding belly, Enmusubi-shin dragged a reluctant Kasumigaoka outside to continue recruiting believers.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that it would be difficult for a god to successfully attract believers with this appearance.

Without thinking about it any further, he took Kagura to a secluded spot in the manor, where they met a melancholy boy who seemed somewhat dazed.

"excellent?"

"...Kyosuke-sama."

The boy named Yu Ishigami gradually came to his senses and bowed to Kyosuke Kousaka.

His movements were somewhat hesitant; what Kousaka Kyosuke saw more was restraint than fear, which left him with a rather complicated feeling.

He's the male supporting character in "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War".

I never expected to meet you like this, it's amazing.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought of the Fujiwara sisters, Ai Hayasaka, Kei Shirogane, and others in the mansion, and felt as if he were really playing a card collecting game.

I remember that the man in front of me, Yu Ishigami, is somewhat similar to my brother-in-law, Hikigaya.

Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, it's stronger than Kiga.

This is beyond doubt.

"He's a bit weak, but very kind. We can assign him some good tasks, since Yu Ishigami is an expert at handling data."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought secretly.

If a person has no value to be exploited, he can at most offer a little help.

If someone is capable, Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't mind lending a helping hand.

"You made significant contributions in the fight against the siren, and I will reward your father and brother; I will arrange that. After that, how about I find you a leisurely job?"

"…Thank you, Kyosuke-sama."

Yu Ishigami glanced cautiously at Kyosuke Kousaka, then immediately looked away.

Hearing that there was little room for negotiation in Kousaka Kyosuke's tone, he really didn't dare to object.

If his family is doing well, why would he cause trouble?

As for work... he really doesn't want to work, but he doesn't dare to refuse!

"That's good. Go back and see your family."

Kousaka Kyosuke said a few words and left with Kagura, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

On one hand, she noticed Ishigami Yu's nervousness and didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

On the other hand, it was felt that Ishigami Yu himself didn't have many problems, so of course he left.

Ultimately, this person can be considered a hero in the fight against the sea monster.

It should be treated properly no matter what.

Now that the problem of demonic energy corruption has been resolved, let the people leave.

And what about Hikaru Ogino, who deliberately kicked Yu Ishigami?

Kyosuke Kosaka intends to keep him locked up.

They were only allowed to leave after the matter with the Maritime Kingdom was resolved.

Let's say the charge involves possibly siren matters.

Judging from his actions, Ogino Hikaru is indeed doing just that; he should be locked up.
