Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 686

It wasn't until they reached some areas of the northeastern house that Shirogane Kei managed to regain his senses.

In any case, she cannot forget her job.

The head of the household took good care of her and her family, providing them with a small house, and her own compensation was more than that of some others.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot disappoint the head of the family.

Suddenly, a couple caught Bai Yin Gui's attention.

"Hey, brother has dark circles under his eyes, he's going to turn into a panda!"

"This shows that my popularity has increased even further."

"You're so glib. Have some millet porridge, then go to sleep."

"So touching, this is the love a younger sister has for her older brother..."

"Sorry, brother, my love has already been given to Kyosuke-sama~"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Seeing his younger sister Komachi standing tall and proud, Hikigaya let out a sob, but still drank the warm millet porridge with tears in his eyes.

A surge of heat traveled down his mouth, down his throat, through his esophagus, and into his stomach, warming his entire body.

That's right, this is the love a younger sister has for her older brother.

The younger sister's love for her older brother won't all be transferred to her husband; that's how it is.

Hikigaya nodded secretly.

He had just returned to his residence from the Office of the Inspector of Illegal Activities to deliver relevant information, and he would soon be leaving again.

What is the reason for sending the message?

That was from all sides. Since the ladies in the palace wanted to know more, and since his father and several uncles might not be coming home again, he simply acted as a messenger.

As for why he didn't let others come, it's because he travels faster.

Perhaps it's because I used to run away quickly whenever I saw danger?

Ignoring all this triviality, Hachiman casually turned his head and noticed the person approaching from not far away.

"Ah, it's Kei~" Komachi immediately noticed the newcomer and greeted him happily.

"Miss Komachi."

Upon seeing the enthusiastic Komachi, Shirogane Kei quickly responded respectfully.

"I'll be going now," Hikigaya said to Komachi, then nodded to Shirogane as a farewell before leaving.

From beginning to end, he had no intention of contacting any other strange women.

Ever since the servants started introducing him to concubines, and he saw how each maid seemed ready to throw herself into his arms, he's almost developed a fear of women.

And just like that, Hachiman was gone in a flash.

Komachi complained, "My brother has become quite arrogant."

Baek Eun-kyu smiled awkwardly, but secretly he was very envious of how harmoniously the two siblings got along.

She and her brother were in a similar situation before.

Since entering junior high school, I haven't really wanted to get close to my older brother... not that I hate him.

Anyway, Baek Eun-kyu really hopes that her brother can have a better life.

"Sister Yaodaoji will be here soon. Xiao Gui, please have a seat here at Dudian."

Komachi pointed to Watari-dono, which was only a dozen steps away.

“No need…” Shirogane Kei shook her head reflexively, but Komachi had already dragged her toward the Watari Palace.

"The weather is still quite cold, and it's not good for your health to be exposed to the cold wind."

Komachi said earnestly.

Baek Eun-kyu was touched and could only keep thanking him.

Komachi didn't care much about these things; she just asked about the shrine out of curiosity.

She had heard her husband say that the Moon Chaser did not want to appear in the bodies of believers, and that he also knew quite a lot of things.

Because her husband really enjoys holding her and talking to Kagura.

"I wonder how Sister Zhuiyue is doing? She hasn't come back for so many days..."

Shirogane Kei then spoke about the basic conditions of the shrine.

They wisely concealed some of the more brutal truths.

The conversation between Shirogane Kei and Komachi didn't end until Yoto Hime arrived.

"Let's go," Yaodao-hime said to Shirogane-no-Kei.

Komachi quickly waved to Yoto-hime, "Take care on your journey, Yoto-hime!"

Yaodao-hime: "I will."

As she spoke, she picked up Bai Yingui and moved towards the outskirts of the city.

Although somewhat unwilling, Yaodao-hime obediently followed the instructions of Kousaka Kyosuke to temporarily guard the mansion.

Indeed, the mansion does require careful guarding.

No one knows what unexpected events might occur.

During the journey to the suburbs.

Shirogane Kei remained completely still, his waist being held as if he were being lifted up by clouds, feeling almost nothing, and his whole body seemed to float away...

Due to security issues in Kyoto these past few days, the Demon Sword Princess has been escorting her and Hayasaka Ai to a suburban shrine instead.

Inside the shrine, she and Hayasaka Ai took turns staying there once a day to look after the women and children.

"Lady Demon Blade is so cool and stylish," Shirogane Kei thought to himself.

She thinks it's amazing that women can be so capable.

She greatly admires the Demon Blade Princess.

Not long after, Yaodao-hime delivered Shirogane-no-Kei to the shrine, glanced at the Tsukuyomi-no-Kami inside, gave her a barely perceptible nod, and then left.

Not long after leaving the shrine, Yaodao-hime discovered that the serpent's head in the sky was solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally illusory snake head now looked just like a real one.

Huhuhu~

Strong winds are blowing!

The already dark clouds in the sky were churned up by the howling wind and waves, resembling a whirlpool.

Countless people were looking up at it.

In Kyoto, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was sitting quietly in the Suzaku Gate, raised his eyes, his sharp gaze undisguised.

"The location of their arrival is still here at the Vermilion Bird Gate. This is really troublesome..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was eager to fight this creation of the Yamata no Orochi and test its true strength.

However, as the head of the Minamoto clan, he had to place all his responsibilities above love and hate.

The most important thing right now is to protect the face of the capital and not let the giant snake destroy the gates of the palace. Otherwise, the dignity of the royal family and the capital will be severely damaged over the years.

At that time, who knows how many wicked and treacherous individuals will act recklessly and arrogantly in various states that govern by the imperial decree.

Therefore, this place must be protected!

"Sinful Kyoto! Sinful humans!"

The agonizing screams were deafening.

Having guessed some of the structural components of the one who was making the roar in the sky, Minamoto no Yorimitsu couldn't help but feel a slight unease.

Despite his sharp gaze, his determination to kill remained unwavering.

"Get ready."

Seeing a huge, ferocious snake head emerge from the suddenly appearing black hole, Minamoto no Yorimitsu slowly spoke.

A group of Onmyoji who had been prepared all along formed the same hand seals in perfect unison.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the Kyoto veins and the spiritual energy floating in the air all concentrated at an extremely fast speed on one point—Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's gaze was indifferent. His hands quickly formed hand seals, and a magic circle with a dragon-patterned design began to operate in the sky. As the spiritual energy flowed rapidly, it grew larger and larger, covering the giant snake that had just appeared.

What should have been a very noticeable scene went unnoticed by many.

Considering the potential for panic, the surrounding area was enclosed by barriers that prevented anyone from noticing anything.

Therefore, the appearance of the giant serpent did not cause any sensation at all.

Only those who witness it firsthand can understand everything.

"get ready."
