Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 705

"...My dear little sister, doesn't that sound strange?"

Suddenly, Sakayanagi Arisu, who was being embraced by the spider lily, spoke.

Qingji spread her hands: "What's strange about it? This way, we're a close duo~ Honghua went to the side."

The red spider lilies made a clicking sound.

"They drink my wine, stay in my house, and still dare to say such ungrateful things. They must have a serious character flaw, right?"

"No way! Didn't I clean, massage, and take care of your flowers and stuff before returning it?!"

"Isn't this what should be done?" the spider lily said, tilting its head.

Kyosuke Kousaka was utterly speechless.

It turns out that Qing Ji was usually "bullied" by the spider lily.

Well, it can't be called bullying; it's just that the spider lily uses fairly logical rules to regulate Qing Ji.

No, no, logically speaking, shouldn't he be the one to treat Qing Ji?

"Ah, she bullied me!"

Aohime hugged Kousaka Kyosuke like a big child, and tearfully pointed at the spider lily as she made her accusation.

Kyosuke Kosaka casually patted Aohime's head, and Aohime let out a comfortable hum. Then Kyosuke Kosaka dragged her away.

He casually added, "Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you."

"Uh-huh!"

Ha ha.

Watching Kousaka Kyosuke and Aohime leave, Higanbana couldn't help but laugh, as if she found it very amusing.

Sakayanagi Arisu easily broke free from the spider lily's body, then unconsciously furrowed her brows as if enduring pain.

"Arisu."

Honami Ichinose, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, couldn't help but step forward.

Sakayanagi Arisu raised her hand with difficulty, indicating that she could.

Higanbana watched with interest as Sakayanagi Arisu appeared to be enduring pain, but didn't say anything more.

She genuinely wanted to help Sakayanagi Arisu.

But isn't it normal to ask someone for help and then pay a price?

"Miss Red Flower..."

"No, this is her insistence, and I can't stop her."

Higanbana smiled and declined Ichinose Honami's request in advance.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Kikyo Kushida, watching the spider lily depart, did not think it was cold-blooded.

At most, they'll just be a little indifferent.

"Being able to exchange one's soul for what one needs is not a bad thing."

Kikyo Kushida thought to herself.

A transaction that is consensual can only be described as one party willing to give and the other willing to receive.

What right do outsiders have to interfere?

"...It feels just like my body in real life," Sakayanagi Arisu remarked as she slowly recovered.

Honami Ichinose asked with a worried look, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Don't worry too much about me. I'm already very happy to have come into this world and seen so many interesting people and things, and encountered so many special things."

Sakayanagi Yusu smiled slightly.

Although the body is still the same physical body, the things that happened can be described as interesting experiences worth remembering for a lifetime.

This is already quite good, so why dwell on the sorrow?

"If there's anything you need to say, please don't hesitate to speak up."

"Thank you so much, Honami and Kikyo."

“No, I didn’t do anything,” Kikyo Kushida quickly said when she was mentioned.

Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled: "Just standing by my side is already a great help."

Compared to those who stayed far away, Honami Ichinose and Kikyo Kushida were truly angels.

Even though Kikyo Kushida might think that if she didn't say a word, she would be no different from a spectator, most people wouldn't even dare to be a spectator.

She understood this very well.

"Hey hey hey..."

Kikyo Kushida chuckled dryly, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word.

To be honest, besides wanting to follow Ichinose Honami, she also wanted to stay as far away as possible from those people she barely knew.

The fact that she was sent to the Kenbishi-cho (a branch office of the Ministry of Justice) by Fujiwara Yukinari was somehow leaked to someone.

As a result, we now have to deal with those who try to climb the social ladder.

Even though she understood that these people were most likely just trying to survive, Kikyo Kushida also needed to survive!

Given that she couldn't even guarantee her own safety, how could she dare to agree to anything?

Not to mention, she didn't want to be dragged down by these people.

It would be fine to help her a little, but these people are clearly trying to drag her into an abyss of certain death, so of course she has to leave!

Hikigaya, who had been closely monitoring the spider lilies, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Minamoto no Yorimitsu and others were discussing countermeasures in a very serious manner, he didn't want to get involved in the matter unless Higanbana caused trouble... although that was a rather passive approach.

Some time passed.

Having already discussed countermeasures, Minamoto no Yorimitsu began to systematically break up and reorganize the people.

Just take a look at Kousaka Kyosuke's team, half of the members were moved to other teams. Kousaka Kyosuke took a closer look and found that the students who joined seemed to be from Shuchiin Academy.

At this moment, these students all stood tall and proud, looking as if they had just participated in military training.

They all give the impression of being very capable fighters.

all in all.

The five large teams resumed their operations, with the number of people remaining at the center of the altar increasing from five to ten.

Because the screen at the center of the altar acts like a surveillance system, it can clearly display the status of the tower and the status of the monsters represented by red dots, allowing for quick access to information.

At that time, the latest intelligence can be delivered simply by sending people on the road.

It has a strong game-like feel to it.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes that Orochi may have become obsessed with human games.

They're getting skill books and attacking towers all at once; they're pretty good at this.

How wonderful it would be if Orochi could become a quiet otaku?

Unfortunately, this world isn't some old-fashioned light novel script.

"I am the new captain, Taketaka Kojima. I hope you can cooperate and work together to complete the mission and leave this place."

A boy with short, choppy hair spoke earnestly to Kyosuke Kousaka, Higanbana, and Aohime.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "I have no objection."

Aohime hugged Kousaka Kyosuke: "I'll listen to you."

The red spider lily smiled slightly: "I have to decide based on the situation."

The boy glanced at the spider lily with a headache, and didn't dare to look at it any longer.

He has some self-awareness.

At least he was very clear that he could never defeat the other shore flower.

Although the Red Spider Lily has never really made a move, her methods of trading souls are no less sophisticated than those of an evil god.

Some people even secretly speculated that the spider lily might actually be an evil god...

Anyway, Taketaka Kojima didn't dare to do anything reckless.

If someone truly believes that a small squad leader can fight against the Higanbana with the help of several powerful Onmyoji, they're probably not far from death.

He just wanted to live a good life and end this dream that was putting increasing pressure on him.

"My name is Hikaru Ogino, and I'm an assistant to Master Takeo." Another petite and handsome young man walked over.

The red spider lily seemed to have seen something interesting.

"That's really interesting. We can chat more when we have time."

"Miss Honghua, you're too kind." Ogino Hikaru scratched his head awkwardly.
