Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 724

Physical age and mental age are two different things.

Aohime's personality, coupled with her petite and delicate physique like Kagura's, destined her to be treated as a child by Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Let's eat."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Even though he wasn't hungry, he decided to have a meal in this dreamlike space of the other shore flower.

Anyway, his digestive ability is not bad.

After Kousaka Kyosuke finished speaking, Higanbana and Aohime started eating.

Kyosuke Kosaka has a rare quality that makes him seem like the head of a small family.

The house is so lively.

They were all focused on the matter, but no one had the heart to reflect on the affairs of the head of the household.

Red Spider Lily: "These seashells are quite nice."

"Captured around the Sea of ​​Immortality."

"The Sea of ​​Immortality?" ×2

Seeing their curiosity, Kyosuke Kosaka began to recount his experiences of the day.

After listening quietly, the spider lily said, "If they were mermaids, I think I encountered a group of them two hundred years ago who froze to death."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "There were indeed some issues over there, but I didn't look into the specifics; ultimately, that's someone else's business."

He knows all the details perfectly!

That is, the queen was killed by her husband, who then underwent gender reassignment to impersonate her, causing the so-called "tidal power" to become uncontrollable.

When Kousaka Kyosuke got closer to the Sea of ​​Immortality, he took a look and found that the power of the tides was indeed a powerful force, but nothing special.

That is a special existence with a certain consciousness.

There's no guarantee that contact will bring any benefits.

His strength is already sufficient; it can't be increased by contact with any external force. It would be better to use some kind of divine artifact to boost his attack power.

He doesn't ask for that.

Like the Kusanagi sword?

Kyosuke Kousaka won it once; hopefully he won't win it again.

That powerful offensive divine power is too aggressive and corrosive; using it too much will only weaken one's own strength.

For example, the divine power remaining on the body after one use is completely eliminated only after being absorbed by Enmusubi and guided by Seimei, making it extremely troublesome.

The story features items such as the "Yasakani no Magatama", "Yūgai Mirror", and "Umihara no Kaiki".

Kousaka Kyosuke is grateful but not sensitive.

If you're not destined to be the protagonist, don't try to take on the protagonist's side of the story.

He is subtly different from the Onmyoji, and the backlash he suffers from obtaining these powerful artifacts will be even greater.

If you end up with a lot of injuries that are difficult to heal, then you've brought it on yourself.

Well……

Aohime, who was eating raw fish, felt a strange feeling.

She vaguely sensed that Kousaka Kyosuke was making excuses, but after thinking about it, she decided it had nothing to do with her and she wouldn't bother with it.

It's more important to enjoy food made with love!

"Do you like immortality?" the spider lily asked with a smile.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "If you like something, all you can do is try your best."

Qingji hurriedly said, "If that day ever comes, I will die with you, Kyosuke."

Boom!

"Don't say such heavy and terrifying things in such a lighthearted tone!" Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but exclaim.

He wanted to avoid scolding or hitting people.

But what kind of things was Qingji saying?

"Eh, I've received another lesson in love..." Qing Ji blushed.

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to say, "You should go back to how you were before," but he felt it was inappropriate and swallowed his words.

This woman was just one step away from becoming a pervert.

"If you die one day, why don't you protect me?" the spider lily said with a smile.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "We'll talk about that on that day—and besides, you said something rather unpleasant."

thump.

The red spider lily also received a chop to the neck.

She just smiled and didn't say anything, which meant she knew she was wrong.

Aohime mocked her: "Kyosuke's love for you is very little."

"Stop displaying such baffling resistance to violence..."

Kyosuke Kousaka was quite powerless.

Qingji is the type who remembers the good but not the bad.

You can't hit her too hard, and you can't scold her harshly, so nothing works on her.

"If we're talking about love, shouldn't it be about pinning someone down on top of them?"

"You're the kind of person who really hits the nail on the head. I've been looking forward to this for a very long time..."

"The topic has gone completely off-topic."

Kyosuke Kosaka begins working as a tsukkomi (straight man).

It's time to finish eating.

Higanbana then told Kousaka Kyosuke something. Although she had a smile on her charming face, he felt that she was unlikely to be joking.

"The dream world has become strange these past two days."

"Are you referring to yours, or the ones outside?"

Kyosuke Kosaka asked in confusion, but a chill ran through him.

When the red spider lily initiates a matter, it's generally not a good thing.

After all, there aren't many things that can get the attention of the Red Spider Lily; objectively speaking, they are all major events.

"It's outside, isn't it? Perhaps you should go and investigate. Isn't this part of your job as Onmyoji?"

"What you're saying is ambiguous and very troubling."

“Because it’s uncertain,” said the other shore flower.

She herself was a little puzzled.

I wonder if it's just my imagination, yet I also believe that I might actually be prone to frequent illusions?

This is very likely because something happened in the dream world.

"Let me take a look."

"I'm going!"

"You and the other shore flower stay here. I'll be right back. It'll be faster if I go alone."

Kyosuke Kosaka said to Aohime.

He vaguely sensed that the power of the other shore flower was somewhat weak, so he had no choice but to keep Qing Ji as a backup plan.

Secretly, she was wondering if it was related to her?

The fact that the spider lily was able to discover the problem in the dream world so quickly is probably related to the special dream world that created this gathering.

This dream world, seemingly real yet illusory, is not much different from the subspace. Constructing it requires considerable effort, and Kyosuke Kousaka suspects that the spider lily itself also consumed a lot of energy.

Thinking about it this way, I'll try to avoid doing it again.

At most, they would come by traversing the underworld, so as not to trouble others.

Hmm? Why is it necessary to come?

Oh, it's because of Qing Ji.

After Kousaka Kyosuke left, Higanbana and Aohime stared at each other in silence.

Qingji, who was the first to feel bored, picked up some fruit that was still on the low table and started eating.

The beautifully carved fruit is a testament to my love for her.

The red spider lily yawned, rubbed a bright red bloom, and soon closed its eyes for a nap, emitting soft breathing sounds...

Dream world.
