Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 702

It's similar to a girl saying she's not strong enough to open a bottle cap, or saying she doesn't eat many snacks but always keeps eating them.

Faced with such a glaring flaw, Kyosuke Kosaka chose to...believe it.

But unconsciously, the image of Qing Ji slapping the monster away came to mind.

“This is indeed a difficult problem,” Yaobikuni sighed. “However, we cannot force people to do things like exorcism. Although there may not be any problems in this world, we cannot take risks.”

It seems she's going to slow everyone down.

Kōhei Katsuragi, dressed as a monk, bluntly stated:

"We still need to try to solve it no matter what. For now, we should store the crystals we have so that we can allocate our power more effectively when we encounter similar situations later."

Ryuji Kanzaki, Yosuke Hirata, and others all agreed with this suggestion.

Kyosuke Kosaka, of course, had no objections.

His main plan this time is to take advantage of the chaos and see if he can join forces with others to seal away the true form of Orochi when they finally encounter it.

It's definitely impossible for them not to make a move, although it seems highly likely that Orochi will not reveal its true form.

Aside from that deceptive "wish" that can summon him, he's probably like a snake hiding in a dark corner.

Troublesome is the best description of Yamata no Orochi.

"What should we do with the books that teach magic?" the other shore flower asked with a smile.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at her sideways and realized that this person was very likely an accomplice of Orochi.

At this moment, Yaobikuni spoke up.

"The book is of course yours, but I still hope that you can control your desires when using it and not let the power lead you astray."

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kousaka looked at Yaobikuni in surprise, not expecting her to see things so clearly.

It's true that Yamata no Orochi has evil intentions, but whether or not to do bad things is entirely up to him.

If he can keep his mind at ease, Orochi will at most change its methods of seduction and enticement; it is highly likely that Orochi will not bother to crush others with its power.

Frankly, this makes perfect sense.

As the supreme evil god, there is nothing that can defeat Orochi, let alone kill him.

According to the original storyline of "Onmyoji", defeating the Yamata no Orochi requires a complex process involving the Executioner, the Punishment Artifact, and the Judge.

Kyosuke Kosaka never intended to destroy him; at most, he would seal him away for a few hundred or a few thousand years, by which time he would have already fled with his family.

Why would I care about so many things?

Getting back to the main point, Orochi is just a fun-loving person who wants to have fun.

These time travelers from the modern era happen to have the most complex minds, so it's quite normal for them to do some "outrageous" things.

Therefore, Yamata no Orochi has been using temptation to incite these people to do what he most wants to see.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply couldn't be bothered with these situations.

Just observe carefully, and then eliminate any seemingly unstable factors.

Furthermore, after this test is over, will Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Fujiwara no Michitsuna really let these transmigrators go?

Kyosuke Kosaka thought it was impossible.

They might not kill them, but they will definitely send people to watch their behavior, or simply keep them under their noses.

Whatever happens at that time, Kyosuke Kosaka still doesn't bother to care.

Anyway, he was just an ordinary nobleman and an Onmyoji whose duty was to protect Kyoto, and he didn't care about anything else.

that is it.

After that, Kyosuke Kousaka began to fight.

boom! !

A loud explosion suddenly rang out.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who still wanted to have a turn-based battle with the monster, quickly sensed the location of the explosion.

The explosion wasn't far from him, because it was Qing Ji who triggered the self-destructing monster.

"Hehe, you really care about me..." A joyful cheer rang in my ears.

There was another person hugging Kousaka Kyosuke.

It should be said that it was hanging there.

"Honestly~ Didn't you come right away? And you're still holding me tightly, do you have some lewd thoughts?"

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke refrained from making a comment. When he saw a monster approaching, he quickly used a long, thin cloth to roll up the things the monster had exploded on the ground, and then carried Aohime away.

"Miss Aohime, are you alright?" Kikyo Kushida and Honami Ichinose, who knew Aohime, came over to ask with concern.

Like most others, the two did not participate in combat; they served as logistical support personnel for the fighters.

“It’s alright,” said Aohime, who was almost suspended in mid-air, her arms tightly wrapped around Kousaka Kyosuke. “I’ve been well protected. Now I have to do some embarrassing things…”

"Sorry to bother you!" ×2

Kikyo Kushida and Honami Ichinose spoke in unison, and with remarkable tacit understanding, they turned and hurried away as if fleeing.

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, then looked at Aohime, who was trembling with nervousness and whose face was changing awkwardly as she approached... He ruthlessly pressed down on her face, which was about to touch him.

"Ah...this is a loving touch!"

"I would say this is a slap in the face to justice."

"You're lying, the force was clearly so gentle~"

Some of the trembling Qingji became excited, pushing their heads forward even more forcefully.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Aohime's pouty cheeks as she pressed her hands to her sides, and then rammed his head forward.

boom.

"Ah!" Qing Ji cried out in anguish.

Kyosuke Kosaka picked it up and put it down, then quickly walked into the group of monsters to trigger a battle.

Paying any more attention to Qingji would be a waste of time.

"Fortunately, I was still a little shy and not as bold as I had imagined."

In the isolated battle space, Kyosuke Kousaka pondered silently.

He had been worried that Qingji might be a yandere, but it turned out she wasn't. After playing around with ambiguity and giving emotional feedback, there were basically no problems.

That's good. If it weren't for the fact that Aohime is a bit too much, Kousaka Kyosuke might have teased her a bit.

Indeed, the essence of humanity is to "bully the weak and fear the strong."

at the same time.

Kamo no Yasunori was looking at a book engraved with the spell "Soul Stealing".

He frowned, realizing that Orochi's intentions were indeed as sinister as he had anticipated.

They actually created such a vicious spell.

If ordinary people were to learn this skill, how much turmoil would it cause in Kyoto?

"Everyone, hand over all your books. You are not allowed to study them." Without giving it much thought, Kamo no Yasunori gave the order in a commanding tone.

The group of people who had just been gathered fell silent.

Koenji Rokusuke, who thought his luck had turned around, was secretly resentful, but his face remained calm, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

He knew very well that Kamo no Yasunori was the head of the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang), managing all the Onmyōji in Kyoto. He was powerful and exceptionally capable, and not someone he could afford to offend.

The others understood this as well, and dared not voice any dissatisfaction.

Subsequently, Horikita Manabu began to supervise the combat rewards of the others, as instructed by Kamo Yasunori.

Similarly, Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and others successively discovered that some spells violated the principles of Yin and Yang.

Each person uses their own methods to prevent others from learning from them.

After they all cleared the second level, the group of people miraculously gathered together through the door.

The place where they gathered was the original starting point—the original altar.

“They’ve gathered together again,” Yaobikuni said softly.

Without realizing it, she glanced around and noticed that many of the men and women exuded a fierce and powerful aura.

Also... there are fewer people now, but fewer than ten people have died on her side.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that her team had suffered fewer casualties.

"Your training level is a bit lacking."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu shook his head.

He was now certain that Yaobikuni was at the bottom; judging from the fact that more than half of the people in her group were weak and incompetent.

If anything happens next, they will definitely be among the first to die.
