Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

The red spider lily smiled and shook its head.

"Don't mention it. I see your desire. If you want your wish to come true, feel free to come to me."

Kyosuke Kosaka rolled his eyes at the spider lily, too lazy to even mention it.

What he disliked was that the red spider lily wanted to target those who were already pitiful and kind-hearted.

Kyosuke Kousaka simply couldn't be bothered with those who seemed complicated.

Everyone has his own ambitions.

He doesn't stop others from courting disaster.

"Haha... That's an exaggeration of desire." Hikaru Ogino laughed awkwardly.

"Alright, let's go—Mr. Grass, Miss Red Flower, Miss Qing Ji, we'll take our leave now."

Taketaka Kojima pulled Hikaru Ogino, an acquaintance, away.

Kousaka Kyosuke pondered the names of the two men who seemed to be extras, feeling that they were somewhat familiar, yet also as if he didn't know them at all.

In the end, I was just too lazy to think about it anymore.

Following the group towards the destination, he eventually saw about two hundred monsters spaced five meters apart in front of a tower, motionless.

As before, Yaobikuni asked Shijo Tei to test the waters, and five or six minutes later, the man emerged covered in injuries.

A golden crystal appeared on the ground.

"A golden legend," Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

Of course, this was just a joke.

He leisurely walked forward to treat Shijo Tei. After all, he was her brother-in-law, so even if there was a possibility of exposure, he still had to save him.

"How are you?"

"Some superficial injuries..." Shijou Tei managed a weak twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke approach, the girls who cared about him had to make way, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You also have some internal injuries, but it's not a big problem. After I heal you, you might as well absorb this golden crystal. It should make you much stronger."

While treating Shijou Tei, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't resist his curiosity and picked up the crystal next to Shijou Tei to examine it.

Yaobikuni, standing next to Shijou Tei, asked, "Mr. Kusa, do you know the specific effects of crystals?"

"It's several times stronger than the previous crystal; it's an item that can greatly increase soul power."

“That’s amazing.”

"So it's definitely worth the price. I'll go check it out."

After healing Shijou Tei, Kousaka Kyosuke tentatively walked into the motionless group of yokai. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Kousaka Kyosuke, who had reached the center, was surrounded and attacked by a group of yokai.

"Ah..." Qingji exclaimed, a hint of worry in her voice.

Higanbana, however, seemed to be enjoying the show. She discovered that at least five monsters had disappeared along with Kousaka Kyosuke.

Everyone else was stunned.

Neither of them could believe that Kyosuke Kousaka would be so reckless.

In less than ten seconds, a person appeared, along with five more golden crystals on the ground.

Then five more monsters pounced on them, and Kousaka Kyosuke disappeared again.

Yaobikuni rested her chin on her hand in thought, muttering, "So this is what I was like before."

When she encountered a monster, she was passively pulled into a separate, empty space to fight the monster.

Even if you can defeat the monster in one go, you still have to wait ten moments.

Now, it's Kyosuke Kousaka's turn.

"Amazing!" Shijou Tei couldn't help but praise, then became worried about Kousaka Kyosuke's condition.

I always felt a certain fondness for Kyosuke Kousaka.

Perhaps it was because he was treated by Kyosuke Kousaka on two separate occasions...

"They seem to be enjoying themselves."

The spider lily chuckled and casually flicked a vine whip, pulling the golden crystal that Kousaka Kyosuke had exploded into front of her.

Qingji said unhappily, "This is his."

"What's the rush? If I ask him to give it to me, why wouldn't he?"

"I can do that too!"

"How about we see who asks for more?"

"But this has never been yours from beginning to end!" Qing Ji was not fooled at all, and looked at the spider lily with disdain.

The red spider lily seemed to smile enigmatically: "What I say is mine, is mine."

Feeling provoked, Qingji became unusually angry.

"They're mine! They're all mine! You shameless woman!"

"Where is the shamelessness?"

"Everywhere!"

The two of them started arguing.

While arguing, they also took all the golden crystals that Kousaka Kyosuke had revealed.

The people around kept their distance, afraid that if the two started arguing, they would get into a fight and it would affect them.

Noticing this, Yaobikuni curiously asked Shijou Tei.

It was only then that they learned that Aohime was the target of the second trial, and that Kousaka Kyosuke was the victor who got his wish.

"...I heard they managed to get Miss Qingji back," Shijou Tei said in a low voice.

Qing Ji seems to be based on Qing Ji.

They were originally characters from a fantasy world, but they still appeared here, which is hard not to say something.

Yaobikuni listened attentively, but did not take any action herself.

Since Kyosuke Kousaka is willing to take the initiative to deal with these monsters, she won't do it herself.

As for other minor details?

She had no intention of paying attention to it.

About the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

All two hundred monsters have been dealt with.

During this time, both Higanbana and Aohime were fighting each other to snatch the rewards that Kousaka Kyosuke had obtained.

Behind them floated golden crystals, like a magnificent backdrop. Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless, wishing he could take on a giant pirouette.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Grass." Yaobikuni smiled and stepped forward.

"It's nothing. Next, we need to work with the others to destroy the tower at the same time."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded slightly and pointed to a tower that was more than ten meters tall in front of him.

The tower was flashing with the Chinese characters for "ten thousand," which Kousaka Kyosuke suspected was its health bar, making it a very standard tower defense game.

Speaking of which, isn't this tower defense game a bit too easy?

Two hundred moderately powerful demons were no problem for Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Yaobikuni, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Kamo no Yasunori, and others.

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka realized that he had neglected to restore his energy and spirit.

Individuals can indeed fight these monsters, but they would definitely be tired after dealing with them all.

You might fail when you face the final boss.

"To deal with one of the monsters here, it would require the power of ten ordinary enhancement crystals, which is extremely rare."

"Plus, I'll need to rest after finishing this, so I have to manage my time wisely..."

After much thought...

Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that it was more efficient for the strong to handle things themselves.

The price is the depletion of the main characters' energy.

If possible, it would be best to calculate the most reasonable solution.

If Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the current leader, were to make the plan, he would probably choose the method of using war to sustain war, and he has almost no intention of personally taking action, right? Probably.

"Then let's wait for news."

Yaobikuni said another thing.

Kyosuke Kosaka took the opportunity to say goodbye, his whole demeanor gradually hardening.

The hand hidden in the sleeve gradually formed a fist, and he could feel his whole body filled with fighting spirit.

Boom!
