Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Hongxia: "Lady Sushang's husband is such a good man."

Yamada Ryo "is indeed a good person."

"Kind, handsome, and capable... he's totally the male protagonist from a shoujo manga!" Yuyo thought.

thump~

"I tried changing my voice, and if you thought it was suitable, I'll try adjusting it?"

"Thank you."

"I started..."

As Kousaka Kyosuke spoke, he began to experiment.

The timbre of a musical instrument should vary in a wide range of ways depending on the materials it is made of.

He adjusted the timbre by reconstructing everything in matter using magic, which can be considered cheating.

It's nothing, is it?

As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.

So, why did he form a band in the first place?

Kyosuke Kosaka recalled what had happened before, only to find that he had almost forgotten his original purpose.

"Oh yeah, it has to do with that social anxiety... She owes me so much."

Kousaka Kyosuke muttered.

After a quick thought, he realized that it didn't really matter.

Consider it an apology.

The original intention was to treat Goto Ichiri's social anxiety, but she ended up enjoying PUA instead.

Perhaps Goto Ichiri's situation was also caused by him.

Then he really has to take full responsibility.

Skipping over some trivial matters, Kyosuke Kosaka spent half an hour repairing the instruments for the band members before leaving with Kagura.

Su Chang wanted to stay and play.

"Madam Sushang, you are so lucky to have married such a good husband!"

After Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura left, Hiroi Kikuri, who was absolutely certain that they wouldn't make any mistakes, praised them again.

She wouldn't have cared about these things back in the modern world.

But once you're born into this world, there's no going back.

It's incredibly tactless not to know how to flatter.

Given such good treatment, it would be logical to flatter them regardless of the circumstances.

"Ah, now that you mention this, I realize how wonderful the connection is between me and Kyosuke-sama..."

As expected, Hiroi Kikuri's words this time stirred up Susou's memories.

Su Chang shared her romantic history with great interest.

Because Hiroi Kikuri, Hoshika, Nijika, and others were subordinates, and Susho knew their personalities and temperaments well, she trusted them and was willing to share her fond memories with them.

The others listened attentively.

It's always good to know more about the current owner's information.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

With nothing else to do, Kyosuke Kousaka was taking Kagura for a stroll.

The siren didn't attack, and the surrounding area was under martial law; he couldn't just cause trouble for no reason.

"I wonder how things are going with Boya and the others?"

"It's probably still a bit busy, there are too many issues to prepare for and deal with, while we only need to hold the line."

Will they come?

"Definitely, because if they don't attack us, the troops that have infiltrated the interior from other places will attract more attention."

"Hmm...Are the Sirens not good at land warfare?"

"That's possible. But the most important reason is that the inland area is Kyoto's home ground. As long as we hold on, they may not be able to hold out for long."

Kyosuke Kosaka explained the situation to Kagura in great detail.

He has drawn accurate maps, is very familiar with the area around Kyoto, and understands the plot. He can be considered a top-level armchair strategist.

Yes, it's all just theory.

In real combat, it would be better for him to charge in alone.

Regarding other military arrangements, Kyosuke Kosaka believed himself to be absolutely weak.

Suddenly.

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression hardened, and he raised his hand to release a dazzling magical firework into the air.

"alert!"

"alert!"

"Everyone, return to your lodgings immediately..."

Upon seeing the fireworks, the patrolmen all became serious, and some of the idlers who were still lingering outside returned to their residences.

"Lord Kyosuke!" Su Yi rushed over quickly.

Behind them were Yaodaoji and Bailang.

Shizuko and Chitanda should have stayed at the residence which was covered by a barrier. After all, Yaodao-hime and Hakuro were very important combat forces during the war, and it would be a waste for them to stay any longer.

"I sensed the presence of sirens. My deduction was correct; they will definitely come."

“伨┙榇笕耍�

Then another soft yet steady female voice rang out.

—It was Princess Goldfish who arrived quickly with several well-organized squads of water demons.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded solemnly to Princess Goldfish.

"Follow me, the sirens are coming."

"Yes! We will protect this place!"

"And then there's Arakawa; Arakawa's battle lines haven't completely retreated yet."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

He was telling the truth.

The manor is the manor, and Arakawa is Arakawa.

The Arakawa River basin covers a vast area and is also very long.

The siren had already conquered part of the territory, but a complete conquest would not be so simple.

In particular, since the Lord of Arakawa has already set up a barrier to block a large number of sea monsters' possible attack routes, there is no problem as long as the remaining routes are well defended.

As for failure?

Failure would mean facing the problem of sirens advancing all the way to Kyoto.

That's something no one wants to happen.

"What a blatant scheme! As long as people know the dangers Kyoto might face after conquering Arakawa, Kyoto will have no choice but to send more Onmyoji to deal with it."

"And the number of Onmyoji is limited. Once they are dispersed, the other sea monster armies that have infiltrated the interior will be able to deal more easily with those who are hindering them..."

Kyosuke Kosaka silently analyzed the situation in his mind.

As he sensed the familiar aura growing stronger, he prepared to head towards his destination first.

He left with only one sentence before departing.

"Let's reach the shore steadily and orderly. I'll go first—"

Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke leave so quickly, the group remained silent at first, then moved forward even faster.

Kagura wasn't too disappointed that she wasn't taken along by Kyosuke Kousaka.

She understands perfectly.

The siren's side has a strong resistance to magic, so using martial arts to fight against them is more effective.

In the past, it would have been better for her to prioritize her own safety.

"This time, I'll give Kyosuke-sama a real surprise!"

Su Chang murmured.

Su Yi frowned slightly: "Better safe than sorry."

"I know, sister."
