Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"The spider lily is quite accommodating, isn't it?" Kyosuke Kousaka muttered.

"The timing is perfect, let's go get breakfast."

After getting to know each other, Kyosuke Kosaka suggested having a meal together, a suggestion that no one objected to.

When it was time to eat, Kyosuke Kosaka had Kagura feed him.

After all, Kagura was small and looked very lovable, and even Aohime seemed to dote on her when she first saw her.

This is a great advantage.

"Qingji, Qingji~ How is it where you live?"

"We're not far from the River Styx. Normally, we can see a lot of souls flowing down the River Styx towards the underworld. Oh, and there are especially many souls lately!"

"It must have been those sirens!"

"Don't worry, I'll work with you to take down all those sea monsters!"

"it is good!"

Su Chang and Qing Ji seemed to get along very well.

In contrast, the plain-clad woman also interacted with the spider lilies intermittently, in a harmonious way.

The spider lily seems quite interested in the affairs of the manor.

Unlike before when Kyosuke Kousaka mentioned it, he didn't react at all.

This is probably what "attacking the person rather than the issue" means.

"How harmonious."

Shizuko muttered to herself.

She only greeted them and said one sentence throughout the entire process, silently observing the newly arrived Lycoris Radiata and Aohime.

It was discovered that Qingji was as lively as Sushang, while the other shore flower was more mysterious...

That smile gave off a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

To be honest, if she hadn't known that she had an intimate relationship with her husband, she would have really wanted to keep her distance from the spider lily.

Because I'm scared.

Fortunately, her husband has excellent taste and it's impossible for him to pick a bad woman.

Shizuko firmly believed this.

Chitanda, who was standing nearby, was quite curious. When she heard Aohime and Higanbana talking about things in the underworld from time to time, she couldn't help but be drawn in by what they were saying.

"So there are so many monsters living in the underworld? So the dead go to the underworld via the River Styx..."

That's it!

so amazing!

Their boundless curiosity remains as strong as it is today.

Chitanda, with her pure and quiet appearance, listened quietly to things she didn't know.

Chitanda was originally more worried about her husband, Kyosuke Kousaka.

But seeing that Kagura was being taken good care of, my worries actually lessened.

Furthermore, she was well aware that her excessive worry would embarrass her husband, so she tried to avoid it as much as possible.

Kousaka Kyosuke himself?

He observed that Qingji, Bi'anhua, and the Suyi Sushang sisters got along well with each other and others, and the whole thing seemed quite carefree.

For some reason, I felt a sense of relief that I had made the right choice in coming into this world.

Although she often gets injured or something, isn't SeSe able to solve these problems?

"...Aren't you going to eat?"

"eat."

Suddenly asked a question, and meeting Kagura's cherry-pink eyes, Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and opened his mouth again.

I was thinking that I would feed Kagura a few meals later.

After finishing breakfast.

Kyosuke Kosaka then invited the Goddess of Marriage and Kasumigaoka.

When Enmusubi saw the spider lily, he was greatly surprised, his mouth wide open, staring at Kousaka Kyosuke with an incredulous look.

"You're really bold, daring to seduce even the spider lily of the River Styx!"

"It's not flirting, we are truly in love!"

“I feel like you’re not truly in love with anyone…” Enmusubi couldn’t help but cast a disdainful glance at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka said righteously, "Please don't say that. You were involved in how I was brought together."

"Ahem, yes, you are indeed deeply in love with the Red Spider Lily, I firmly believe it!"

The God of Fate immediately changed his mind.

Kasumigaoka, standing to the side, looked utterly helpless. "Is it because you're afraid of losing your reputation?"

Similarly, Shizuko also complained about it.

Others who gradually became familiar with Enmusubi were not surprised.

Qingji couldn't help but belittle the other shore flower: "Look, even the gods have witnessed your evil deeds."

What did the red spider lily do?

Seeing that the other shore flower didn't seem to mind at all, Su Chang asked the question.

The red spider lily smiled and said, "I was born in the void of night, to guide lost souls. I can clearly sense which souls are praying, yearning for a listener."

"Then, I listen to their obsessions and desires, and then maintain a relationship with them through an absolutely fair contract, in which they only need to offer their souls in exchange for equal desires..."

The surroundings fell silent instantly, a deathly stillness.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head inwardly, and had no choice but to break the potentially awkward silence by saying:

"The way you're talking makes you sound like some kind of dangerous person, even though that's exactly what I'm saying..."

Shizuko thought to herself, "Even Kyosuke-sama said that? How come you're not afraid at all?"

Su Chang's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the spider lily with admiration: "It looks amazing!"

"Yes, the being that disrupts the cycle of life and death at the boundary between Yin and Yang in the River Styx is indeed very powerful."

The God of Fate curled his lip.

The crowd was slightly taken aback by the explanation from the God of Fate, and they all looked at the spider lily with strange expressions.

Qingji put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly.

"Look, this is a troublemaker!"

Kousaka Kyosuke chopped Aohime in the hand: "We're all on the same side now, don't make fun of me like that."

"Oh..." Qingji scratched her head and responded obediently.

The expression on the other shore flower, however, was quite natural.

"The souls of the dead cross the River Styx in the night, either to go to hell to atone for their sins and suffer, or to the path of rebirth. But in my sea of ​​flowers, they can immerse themselves in the beautiful dreams of their past lives, guarding their original hearts in this cycle of reincarnation. So becoming my flower mud may be a happy thing."

The God of Fate saw through the truth at a glance.

"But they will eventually disappear and become part of your power. I don't think that would be a better ending."

"They all did it willingly, because I will grant them one last wish. As for disappearing? I don't think it's disappearing, because I will take their weeping souls with me, and they will bloom into sweet, fragrant flowers, leaving behind their enduring obsession in this world. I will quietly wait for those flowers to wither and bloom countless times, witnessing everything they have gone through..."

The red spider lily rarely spoke such a long passage.

Kyosuke Kousaka listened very attentively.

He understands.

The red spider lily is simply interested in obsession.

As for the souls who made deals with her, they all did so voluntarily, so there's nothing more to say about it.

"Hey, stop talking, what you're saying is so hard to understand! Basically, you can do whatever you want, just don't cause trouble for anyone~"

The God of Fate casually waved his hand.

Kyosuke Kosaka chimed in, "That's right, as long as you choose the way that makes you most comfortable and happy, that's all that matters."

Su Chang nodded her head, saying "Mmm" repeatedly.

"Yes, yes~ As long as you live happily, that's all that matters~"

The Goddess of Fate rolled her eyes at Kyosuke Kousaka: "Be careful you don't turn into flower mud."

"This is practically a curse. Do you still want to form this bond?" Kyosuke Kousaka complained.

The red spider lily seemed amused, as if it were tacitly agreeing.

Qingji glared at the other shore flower and clenched her small fists: "Don't worry! I'll keep a close eye on this woman!"
