Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 734

Ultimately, a divine artifact is a powerful tool.

It would be extremely dangerous for humans to take control of it.

Just like in the modern world where ordinary people are prohibited from owning guns, the mere appearance of a single bullet can cause a huge amount of trouble.

Therefore, Seimei also prepared to report to the imperial court.

That makes perfect sense.

It would be unrealistic to do something secretly by yourself without saying anything, just like in the original story.

Ultimately, without the support of the imperial court, the help Seimei received was extremely limited.

Only with the help of humans, yokai, gods, and other beings can the protagonist, Seimei, become the most powerful.

So, does that mean Kyosuke Kousaka represents humanity?

Indeed, he held an official position in the imperial court and was also in charge of maintaining public order.

Also, we need to soothe Shizuko's little heart.

Kyosuke Kosaka then remembered something else.

He clearly remembered the scene of Shizuko crying uncontrollably and clinging to her tightly, and he felt saddened by it.

Anger rose in his heart again towards the unbridled Jiu Kong family.

It's alright, there's no rush. Once we suppress them to a certain extent, the Taoist priest's other followers will be even more eager than him.

Since they are officials after all, let's resolve this through political means.

Coincidentally, the charges against Jiu Kong Jingyang had only been submitted to the Taoist priest not long ago, and the Taoist priest knew how to suppress him.

Even though the Taoist priest claimed to know everything, the fact remains that he was deceived, which is a disgrace to him.

We won't let them get away with this.

"I'll deal with it while I'm in exile," Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

If he were to remain in Kyoto, then Kyosuke Kosaka would be very much looking forward to it.

Losing real power or official position in Kyoto is a more terrifying thing than being demoted to another province with a strict system of administration.

Two quarters past the hour of Mao (5-7 AM).

After saying goodbye to his companions, Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at Shizuko and, finding her in good spirits as always, immediately felt relieved.

I need to comfort her properly today!

"Eh..." Shizuko exclaimed in her heart.

She vaguely saw a glint in Kyosuke Kousaka's eyes and sensed something was wrong.

"Jingzi, how about we sleep together tonight?" Su Chang asked expectantly.

Shizuko gave a dry laugh: "No, no problem."

I can't possibly refuse, can I?

Fortunately, Lady Sushang was also able to share the firepower.

Su Yi, who was about to set off for Arakawa, frowned as she watched her younger sister swaying vigorously, feeling displeased once again.

Unaware of the situation, Su Chang wore a smug expression.

She admired her own sharp eye, how she could always find out where her husband was going.

Well!

As he was carrying Kagura toward Seimei's residence in the suburbs, Kyosuke Kousaka's nose started to itch.

Who is talking about him?

If it's a spouse, he won't let it go easily.

"By the way, Kagura, how did you notice something was wrong with me yesterday?" Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm... I don't know either, it's like I can just feel it."

Kagura's answer was vague.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but weigh her still in his hand; her body was still so light and delicate, and could still be held in one hand.

It's sturdy yet bouncy.

“No need for further explanation, I think this must be love,” Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

I have to borrow Qingji's words again.

Under the sunlight, Kagura, who looked slightly bewildered, revealed a hint of joy.

"Yes... it's love..."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said nothing more.

If we keep talking, it wouldn't be good if Kagura ended up like Aohime.

People who constantly say they love you are actually lacking in love.

This is why Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to work hard to cure Aohime.

Arrived at Seimei's residence.

As expected, Kousaka Kyosuke met Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Yaobikuni, but skipped over Shiro and the usually silent shrine maiden Fuyuka.

"I observed the celestial phenomena and vaguely sensed that this divine artifact called the 'Mirror Beyond the Clouds' could bring vitality to Kyoto."

"Yes, I feel the same way. I imagine it would be more effective if it were handled by you, Seimei. Kyoto is too complicated internally, and we need someone like you."

Getting to the point, Kousaka Kyosuke quickly echoed Seimei's words.

Upon hearing this, Seimei could only smile wryly: "You should tone down your attitude of not wanting to take responsibility, Kyosuke."

Kyosuke Kosaka looked serious, but he was still thinking about how to slack off.

Having endured so many beatings over the years, he knows all too well the joys of lying down and slacking off.

Lying down doesn't mean you have to stop working; it just means you should complete your assigned tasks.

"Slacking off" refers to doing things outside of work; basically, it means doing as little work as possible and avoiding trouble.

"... Kyousuke."

The sound of gnashing teeth was heard.

Minamoto no Hiromasa is glaring at people.

Kagura found it difficult to give her brother a cold look this time, and helplessly tugged at Kousaka Kyosuke's clothes.

Yaobikuni had a big smile on her face.

If it weren't for her kind nature, Kousaka Kyosuke would have thought she was just a clown.

Little White whimpered, "Kyosuke-sama, you must work hard! Seimei-sama is busy too~"

"Of course, don't worry!"

"For some reason, I always feel uneasy whenever Kyosuke-sama puts on a serious expression."

"Alright, you can shut up now."

Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and said to Shiro.

The little white dog barked once.

This is definitely a puppy, why are you calling it a fox?

After chatting for a few more minutes, Kousaka Kyosuke prepared to go to Fujiwara Michitsuna to explain the situation.

The registration of the "magical cloud mirror" is indeed required.

It's not acceptable not to report it.

To avoid the nobles of Kyoto overthinking things.

Fortunately, the primary duty of the Onmyoji in Kyoto is to protect Kyoto and humanity.

Therefore, communication is not a problem.

Meanwhile, at the Shuibusi Manor, new guests arrived once again...

189. Senhime's Plea for Help / Social Anxiety / The Establishment of the Enmusubi Shrine / Male or Female

Arakawa, the Water Department Manor.

"rapeseed?"

Su Chang was very happy to see the guests.

She was very happy to welcome Naoko back.

Despite her surprise, Su Yi still welcomed Cai Zi and the other person she brought.

After all, it's not like I brought a whole group of people with me.

Then there's no threat at all, and she'll naturally welcome it.
