Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Something happened last night..."

Slowing down their pace, Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura began to talk about their great adventure in the illusion.

Kagura listened quietly, and felt a little regretful after it was over.

Kyosuke Kosaka understood what was going on, or rather:

"Things in dreams are nothing special, don't worry about them too much. I took you from the Yamata no Orochi, I'm not going to let you be taken away again."

"Um……"

Kagura, feeling both shy and delighted by the sweet words, stopped worrying about the illusion for a moment.

She had noticed that her husband didn't really want her to come into contact with the Yamata no Orochi, probably because he didn't want her to recall her painful past, and she understood.

After that, Kyosuke Kosaka took Kagura to the Fujiwara no Michitsuna residence.

At the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), Fujiwara no Michitsuna had just woken up. He was surprised to hear that Kousaka Kyosuke had come over, but at the same time he realized the seriousness of the problem. When he heard the details, his expression turned serious.

"It seems I'll have to borrow some of your men."

"It's natural."

Kyosuke Kosaka responded readily.

He wasn't quite sure what would happen to the time travelers, but they probably wouldn't lose their lives.

As long as they are well-behaved, that's fine.

Afterwards, Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura back home and gave some instructions to Hikigaya, Ayanokoji, and Shijo Tei.

Just like before, you have to answer whatever Fujiwara no Michitsuna asks and not lie.

After giving his instructions, he told Yono where he was going and then took Kagura and headed towards Seimei's residence in the suburbs.

Arrival at the destination.

Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Yaobikuni all rose up.

"Good morning, Kyosuke-sama~ Kagura-sama~" Shiro wagged his tail and walked over.

Kousaka Kyosuke: "Good morning."

Kagura also said "Good morning" and then bent down to pat Shiro's head.

"Kyosuke! What disheartening things did you say last night? Reflect on your words and start a duel with me right now. I need to clear your head!"

Upon seeing Kyosuke Kosaka appear, Hiromasa Minamoto was furious.

Yaobikuni smiled and said, "Oh dear, what a vibrant morning."

"Would you like some music to liven things up?"

The usually elegant Seimei now seemed more like someone who wanted more excitement than anything else.

Kagura tilted her head and watched this scene, becoming curious again.

She wanted to know more details about what happened last night...

the other side.

Hikigaya, Ayanokoji, Shijo Tei, and Horikita Manabu are working with Fujiwara Michitsuna to find those who participated in the trials.

"Don't worry, they are the best people to understand the evil god. If it's not necessary, I still hope they can stay alive as much as possible."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna offered a comforting smile.

I don't know who I'm trying to comfort.

Hikigaya found the explanation somewhat amusing.

"Indeed... the power of the evil god is so immense that it seems unmatched. Since there's a way to understand it, why would one want to destroy it?"

He realized he was overthinking things.

Perhaps those you know well will face limitations in various ways, but they may very well live better lives than before.

Ayanokouji found it absurd, but also realized that it was perfectly reasonable.

This might be a good thing.

What about the question of whether it will expose the time traveler's information?

Ayanokouji wasn't actually too worried; perhaps a little, but not excessively so.

As he gradually established himself in this world and became an official in the imperial court, he soon realized that officials valued their own interests and kinship ties more.

As long as you are useful and can be controlled, others won't care about so much.

More likely, they will continue to indulge in romance, poetry, and focus on their own affairs.

"By the way, you should also mention the people who you feel are a bit off. I need to consider it. After all, they all pretend to be someone they're not, so it's not convenient for me to analyze them."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna said again.

Horikita Manabu subconsciously recalled Nangumo Masako, who had begun to show hostility towards him.

To be honest, he never had any issues with Nan Yunya until he clearly noticed Nan Yunya's inappropriate behavior towards his sister, at which point he became unusually angry.

Shijou Teiji sighed inwardly at the trouble; he had originally thought he could take a day off today and spend time with his family...

Noon time.

Kyosuke Kosaka has already gone to the government office to review some official documents and is currently at the Mizubuji Manor in Arakawa.

Because of his precognitive abilities, he knew very well that the "Sea Kingdom Invasion" storyline would begin in the near future.

If things aren't sorted out here, his anxiety will only intensify.

"Ōtakemaru's strength is similar to that of Arakawa no Kami, and with the added benefit of the divine artifact 'Yasakani no Magatama,' plus a large number of sea monster subordinates, he is even more troublesome than the Shrine Maiden Orochi..."

The serpent priestess was alone and weak. With everyone working together to cast a spell, they could easily move her to the Black Night Mountain and gang up on her.

But what about the Sea Kingdom?

The Sea Kingdom is truly a country, teeming with monsters and various buffs, each one a daredevil.

The ringleader, Ōtakemaru, is the kind of person who'd burn everything, even his own soul if he succeeds!

Kyosuke Kosaka really didn't want to fight these lunatics.

No explanation will work. Unless the spiritual energy of Mount Suzuki can be restored, Ōtakemaru will not listen to anything he says.

Of course, Kyosuke Kosaka also thought of another method—that is, to find the true owner of Suzuka Mountain, namely Suzuka Gozen.

The problem is that this person is in the "Sai no Kawara" where time is disordered.

More than two hundred years passed in just a few days, and Kousaka Kyosuke was genuinely worried that he would be tricked by Yamata no Orochi if he went there.

I'd rather fight Ootengu than disappear for hundreds of years. Even if I were to disappear for a few years, it would bankrupt my entire family.

I would have gone crazy back then.

"Kyosuke-sama, look, the radish has grown so big!" Chitanda walked over happily to show off.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had been pondering the matter, snapped back to reality and smiled, extending one hand.

"It's as big as my hand."

"If we make it into dried radish, it will only be about the size of a finger, and it will be easier to preserve. We can eat it when we run out of food."

“Is that so…” Kousaka Kyosuke replied with a smile.

I couldn't help but think of dried radish with its appealing chili peppers, and then I felt a pang of regret.

There are no chili peppers in this country.

Based on historical knowledge, even the neighboring Tang Dynasty did not have this.

Chili peppers are currently still distributed in the tropical regions of Central and South America.

Chili peppers did not appear in Tang China and Japan until the 16th century.

Currently, spicy dishes in Japan are seasoned with pepper, and this type of cooking is not very popular.

"Mine is a bit bigger."

Kagura brought over a large radish, much bigger than her little hand.

Kyosuke Kosaka took a look and couldn't help but squat down to compare her legs. Although her calves were tightly wrapped in white cotton pants, they still had a well-proportioned and beautiful line.

"Luckily, Kagura, your legs are bigger than a radish, otherwise you would look very thin."

"I will eat more and try to grow up."

"Anything is fine." Kyosuke Kousaka's mind flashed with an image of Kagura as an older sister, but he felt that a loli was cuter.

Chitanda looked at Kousaka Kyosuke, who was still squatting, with a hint of helplessness: "Kyosuke-sama, squatting isn't very proper..."

My husband always does some inappropriate things, which is very embarrassing.

Kousaka Kyosuke, having been reminded, coughed lightly: "You want to be compared to someone too?"

"No, no."

Chitanda quickly repeated it twice.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled, then stood up and walked with Kagura and Chitanda to other areas inside the manor.
