"Of course, my lovely little brother is infatuated with Seimei. I took a look, and he really is beautiful."
“Uh…” Kousaka Kyosuke was speechless.
It feels like the plot is getting back on track.
In the original story of Onmyoji, Kagura was kidnapped to Mount Kuroya by the Hair-Eating Demon. Seimei went there, defeated the demon, and hoped that the Hair-Eating Demon would stop bullying the little demons.
The hair-eating demon said to Seimei: "You're so beautiful, whatever you say is right!"
Kyosuke Kousaka had nothing to say about this.
People who are obsessed with appearances have different values and beliefs than ordinary people.
He needs to understand.
"Then please lead the way."
"no problem."
Yan Yanluo readily agreed.
Kyosuke Kosaka readily returned the red flower to his magic space.
He hoped that the red spider lily was still resting and recuperating, too weak to move.
"Speaking of which, the snake venom in Seimei requires herbs from the mortal realm. How come you don't know the way?"
"The underworld is too vast."
Kyosuke Kosaka casually helped Hiromasa out of a tight spot.
He's the brother-in-law, after all; he can't be perceived as having a terrible sense of direction.
Even so, Minamoto no Hiromasa still felt ashamed.
Kagura, noticing this carefully, whispered words of comfort to Minamoto no Hiromasa.
After spending some more time, Kyosuke Kosaka arrived at the location.
In a gloomy grove of trees.
Seimei, whose face was somewhat pale, was sitting on a simple wooden chair, with a girl dressed as a shrine maiden and a hair-eating demon taking care of him.
Kyosuke Kosaka even suspected that he was on vacation.
"Seimei! How are you?" Minamoto no Hiromasa asked anxiously.
Seimei smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing. With Fuyuka and the Hair-Eating Demon taking care of me, I've always been fine."
"You don't look too good," Kousaka Kyosuke said.
Seimei said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lord Kyosuke."
“Just call me Kyosuke. This place is different from the Imperial Court,” said Kyosuke Kousaka.
It doesn't matter whether you're an adult or not.
Isn't Daojian also a "master"? He was wiped out by a curse from an Onmyoji.
Although he had no intention of criticizing Daojian, Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to illustrate that onmyoji value strength more than status or position.
Just like Kamo no Yasunori, who lacked the ability, it would be difficult for him to inherit the position of Yin-Yang Head, let alone become the head of the Kamo family.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Seimei smiled, his grateful gaze inadvertently falling on Yanyanluo.
Yanyanluo responded with a smile.
Kousaka Kyosuke noticed that Seimei was still quite "warm-hearted".
"How should we make the medicine?" Kyosuke Kousaka asked again.
As he spoke, he took out herbs from his magical space.
The priestess beside Seimei immediately stepped forward: "Please let me handle this."
Kyosuke Kousaka handed it over, saying, "Thank you for your help."
The shrine maiden returned the greeting and went to the side to start fiddling with something...
The sensible Enenra pulled away the hair-eating demon who still wanted to stick to Seimei's side.
Meanwhile, Kyosuke Kousaka got down to business with Seimei.
What's the news about the Kusanagi Sword?
"I have already received the information through Lord Enma's intelligence and have obtained the help of the judge she dispatched. However, we encountered the snake demon created by Orochi on the way. The matter is too urgent, so I can only help for now..."
“I also learned some things from Boya. It seems that the chaos in the underworld is much worse than that in the mortal world.”
"Don't worry, I'll handle it as soon as possible."
"Such a heavy responsibility cannot be borne by you alone," Kousaka Kyosuke said solemnly.
Seimei is in relatively good condition, but who knows if something might go wrong?
It seems that they encountered some crises because they didn't have Kagura, the true heroine, to help them.
The shrine maiden Fuyuka has strong spiritual power, but she is still much weaker than Kagura... This should be the main reason.
Then, Kyosuke Kousaka could only offer his assistance.
If he doesn't help, Seimei will die, and he'll have to take over—that's a terrifying story!
"Yes, Seimei must not forget us."
"We all have a duty to protect Kyoto."
Minamoto no Hiromasa and Kagura spoke one after the other.
Seimei didn't mince words: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka nodded secretly. That's more like it; the protagonist should be this righteous and awe-inspiring.
If he were as coy and hesitant as a male protagonist in a Japanese manga, Kyosuke Kousaka would be more than happy to slap him to death.
A calm and decisive male protagonist like this is the way to go.
After that.
Kyosuke Kosaka then devised a plan with Seimei.
Since the location Seimei wanted to reach was blocked by multiple snake demons and rampaging yokai spirits, he had to deal with these things first.
"The location is upstream of the Sanzu River, where there's a tributary called 'Sai no Kawara,' and time is distorted in the surrounding area. We must be careful!"
"I understand."
Kosaka Kyosuke is extremely cautious.
Sai no Kawara, this is absolutely a huge trap!
The Yamata no Orochi used this to trap Suzuka Gozen, the master of Suzuka Mountain, for over two hundred years.
"Suzuka Gozen has the bloodline of a shark dragon and is inherently powerful. She is capable of hindering Orochi's plans, which is why she was lured away from the mountain."
As Kousaka Kyosuke pondered, he suddenly realized that he might one day encounter something similar.
It seems we need to prepare more backup plans.
all in all.
Kyosuke Kosaka then joined Seimei's party, hoping to get him the Kusanagi Sword.
The next step was for Fuyuka, the shrine maiden who inherited Kagura's psychic powers, to activate her own psychic abilities and draw out the power of the Kusanagi sword to defeat the shrine maiden Orochi.
To be honest, the serpent priestess is also an extremely ferocious being.
Kyosuke Kosaka believes it would be better to honestly follow Ara and Enma's prophecy and kill the priestess Orochi.
As for the Yamata no Orochi?
That was the final villain that everyone in Takamagahara, the Underworld, and the mortal realm attacked together.
—Kousaka Kyosuke is chickening out again.
Half a day passed.
Kyosuke Kosaka gave Seimei various healing medicines and several talismans that he had painstakingly crafted.
"Kyosuke, I'm flattered by your concern," Seimei said.
After considering it for a moment, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to speak up honestly.
“Do you know, Seimei? It’s the third day of the first lunar month now, no, it’s the fourth. I was originally watching fireworks with my wives and concubines, chatting and laughing.”
"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
"No, I mean you absolutely must not die. If you die, I might have to take your place."
Kyosuke Kousaka finally told the truth.
Seimei chuckled and let out a loud laugh.
Kagura helplessly tugged at Kousaka Kyosuke with her small hands: "Kyosuke, don't do this..."
Minamoto no Hiromasa's face turned completely dark.
The title "The Playboy" is indeed well-deserved.
