Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 854

Princess Goldfish chimed in.

However, it was of no use.

There's still plenty of gossip to share.

In short, Kyosuke Kousaka still gave Princess Goldfish a peach blossom.

Then he led the group to the temporary residence of the aquatic tribe.

At this time, some aquatic monsters had already spontaneously gone to guard other sections of the Arakawa River.

When Kousaka Kyosuke and Seimei left yesterday, they also carefully counted the range of the barrier activated by Arakawa no Nushi's sacrifice.

Therefore, just pay attention to the areas not covered by the barrier's range.

Even so, the place is still quite large.

This also means that the sirens will inevitably land on other shores...

"Huh? Princess Goldfish?"

"Princess Goldfish?"

The monsters were surprised to see the humans, including Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura, and Susa, suddenly appear, but they were most surprised by the transformation of Princess Goldfish.

Since yokai usually recognize each other by their aura, Princess Goldfish was recognized by the other yokai at a glance.

"Princess Goldfish has grown up..." A kappa stepped forward, looked at Princess Goldfish, and exclaimed.

Princess Goldfish assured her, "Yes, I will inherit Arakawa's will and protect everyone!"

She spoke with a calm and composed demeanor.

Even Kyosuke Kosaka had to admit that the act was indeed quite convincing.

Just a moment ago, she was no different from before, except that she was a little more reserved when she spoke.

"Lord Kyosuke, did you come here to inquire about the situation?"

The elderly Ebisu walked over.

This is an old man riding a goldfish, a highly respected figure among the aquatic creatures.

Kyosuke Kosaka made no attempt to conceal his purpose:

"Yes, after all, the siren's target is definitely not just Arakawa, but will most likely be other places next, which requires everyone's concerted efforts."

"That's no problem. Let the current Lord of Arakawa, Princess Goldfish, explain it to you."

"Thank you very much for your support."

"You're exaggerating. If it weren't for Kyosuke-sama's help, we probably wouldn't have been able to evacuate so easily this time."

"It's only natural for me to do my part. I can't just stand by and do nothing. Besides, I'm not the only one helping; the great Onmyoji Seimei and the others are also helping..."

Kosaka Kyosuke said modestly.

He was indeed far inferior to Seimei.

Because Seimei had helped many yokai when he was young, by the time he became famous, his reputation had already spread to various provinces.

That's why the water monsters were willing to believe him.

—That's right, Kyosuke Kosaka really doesn't think he's anything special, having been famous for less than a year.

In fact, Seimei truly practiced what he preached for many years.

Any monster with a modicum of sense who has heard of him will instinctively believe him.

These are the famous figures and big stars of the Heian period.

after that.

Kyosuke Kousaka uses Princess Goldfish to make contact with the other water spirits one by one.

First, they politely inquired about the living situation, addressing any issues and continuing the conversation if there were no problems.

Within an hour, Kyosuke Kosaka had gathered information on each member of the aquatic group.

Only by recording the information about these people in detail can they be allocated reasonably.

"Anyone who has nothing to do can help out, and I'll pay them."

Inside the hut, Kyosuke Kousaka and Princess Goldfish discussed something.

Princess Goldfish responded with a soft "Eh."

"It's alright. Since you took me in, it's only right that I do things for you."

“That won’t do. Your arrival hasn’t caused much trouble here, at most you’ve just taken up space, and as for food, didn’t you just catch fish from other parts of the Arakawa River?”

Kyosuke Kosaka patiently explained.

As for food and drink, the thousands of water spirits in Arakawa are self-sufficient.

Zhuangzi refused all the food offered to him, showing great integrity.

Kyosuke Kosaka was too lazy to offer any advice.

Only offer help when you feel you need it.

on the other hand.

Since these newcomers might feel unfamiliar and afraid of their surroundings, Kyosuke Kosaka naturally hopes to help them overcome this.

Hiring these water spirits to deliver messages would be the best solution.

At this moment!

Kyosuke Kosaka hopes that the water spirits of Arakawa will have more contact and communication with his people.

This will make future cooperation easier.

"Alright, I'll go ask her later." After thinking for a while, Princess Goldfish agreed with Kyosuke Kousaka's suggestion.

Just as Kousaka Kyosuke was about to say something, a subordinate came over to report the news.

"What is it? Just say it."

"Lord Kyosuke, someone has spotted traces of sea monsters on the opposite shore, in the Land of the Demons..."

"oh, I understand now."

After carefully listening to the report, Kyosuke Kousaka dismissed his subordinates.

Then, Kyosuke Kosaka took out the map he had made.

"Princess Goldfish, why do you think the siren attacked the Land of the Demon?"

Kyosuke Kosaka pointed to the Omahara on the map.

Princess Goldfish carefully examined the map.

It was discovered that the Oma no Kogen (Original Site of the Demon) clearly did not record anything.

"I can't see anything here..."

"Yes, it does record the location, doesn't it?"

Su Chang immediately saw the problem and quietly reminded her.

Maps are a taboo subject in this era.

Possession is a sin.

Her husband draws often, and she used to be afraid to look at him, but now that she's seen it so often, she feels it's no big deal.

As her husband said, "It's enough to just say you haven't seen it; private conversations don't count."

Yes, that's how it is!

"Location……"

A flash of inspiration struck Goldfish Princess.

Across the river, to the east, there is a place that is about to connect with the Seven-Cornered Mountain to the north.

"Are the sea monsters planning to attack Mount Shichikaku through the Omahara?" Princess Goldfish immediately asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "That's not all. Taking over Mount Shichikaku won't help either."

"It's no use..."

Princess Goldfish murmured.

Seeing that Shichikakuyama is not far from Kyoto, I immediately had another idea.

"—They plan to attack Kyoto via Shichikakuyama?"

"To be precise, it's about bypassing Shichikakuyama and outflanking Kyoto from the rear."

Kousaka Kyosuke pointed out.

The difficulty of dealing with the Sea Kingdom is truly beyond imagination.

He already understood just how panicked the Kyoto nobles were when they heard the news.

He did want to help.
