Against a gloomy, dark background.
Kyosuke Kosaka stood on the edge of the murky puddle.
Opposite him stood a beautiful woman.
"Hey, what did you wish for?"
"secret."
"A secret?" The woman, named Biyanhua, chuckled, her expression serene and gentle.
After a while, the red spider lily lowered its eyes again and whispered, "You could use your own power back then, right?"
"..."
"It's hard to imagine that you could tolerate someone acknowledging me as your older sister. Aren't nobles supposed to be very arrogant?"
"..."
"What wish do you want to make? Perhaps I can grant it to you. This time, I won't try to turn you into flower mud, nor will I ask you to offer up your soul."
The red spider lily spoke softly, its gentle, watery crimson eyes radiating a warm glow.
The red spider lily seems to be waiting for something.
Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his head and pondered for a long while before slowly taking out a box from his magical space.
"I'm not very good at expressing myself, but you'll understand once you see it."
"……Um."
The red spider lily gently accepted it.
"I'll be back later," Kousaka Kyosuke said before leaving.
The red spider lily hesitated, trying not to look in the direction where the person had disappeared from sight, and raised her hand to open the box.
huh~
A slender, green shadow flashed.
The spider lily's pupils contracted slightly, and then it saw a field of pure white, followed by a touch of tender red...
A high-pitched, youthful voice, brimming with joy and emotion yet struggling to suppress all feelings, rang out: "I knew you wouldn't forget me—"
Pfft! !
Day 272 of crossing
Kousaka Kyosuke, feeling like he'd slept for over a month, stretched leisurely.
"It's best not to dream about it anymore."
Today is New Year's Day, time to go home!
170. New Year's Day/Hachigaya's Reward Usage/Rice/The Law of "It's So Good!"
Come back home.
For Kyosuke Kousaka right now, it's a very touching word.
Having spent over a month in the fantasy world, it's impossible not to miss home.
"I never thought I'd be able to refrain from indulging for so long."
Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself that he suddenly admired himself.
Is time in the illusion the same as real time?
That's right, that's it!
"Lord Kyosuke, I have important matters to report..."
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Shijou Tei, who was already waiting in the lobby, hurried over.
Kyosuke Kosaka waved his hand: "I understand roughly. We'll talk about it when we get back."
"Yes."
Shijou Tei paused for a moment, then quickly responded.
I remember that Kousaka Kyosuke arrived in the dream gap for a moment before.
He immediately felt an involuntary sense of admiration!
Yes, the person in front of me is one of the most powerful Onmyoji in Kyoto, how could I not know?
"Let's go, it's time to go back on New Year's Day."
"Yes."
Shijou Tei immediately responded.
Having spent more than a month in the illusion, he was somewhat dazed.
But the moment he returned to reality, he became fully awake!
At this moment.
Even during the New Year, a malevolent serpent still tries to destroy Kyoto.
Within Kyoto, many yokai (supernatural beings) have gone mad and become uncontrollable due to changes in miasma and yin energy.
Unlike the peace found in the illusionary realm.
This is the real world; if you die here, you're really dead!
Calm yet dangerous.
"..." Kousaka Kyosuke fell silent, as if he had come back to his senses?
He noticed that Shijou Tei's body was tense and his mind was focused.
He was quite satisfied.
To wake up so quickly in such a short time shows excellent aptitude.
The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing.
If you don't have a good mental fortitude, you're doomed sooner or later.
Kind people like Hikigaya are used to seeing dead people.
Although this is a cruel thing, there's no way to avoid the realities of life.
Next.
Kousaka Kyosuke then took Shijou Emperor and prepared to leave the palace.
The two lived inside and outside the palace, nominally within the palace grounds, but more accurately, in the surrounding area.
After all, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that being able to enter the Vermilion Bird Gate and entering the inner palace are two completely different things.
"The crane beneath the pine tree, sheltering you for a thousand springs."
"...Wishing you, my lord, a long and prosperous life!"
The clever and beautiful female officials, whose appearance and attire were all exquisite, happily sang ancient songs.
Beautiful women gathered in small groups early in the morning to wish the royal family happiness throughout the year.
Officials who arrived at the palace early clapped their hands with folding fans and moved to the tune of the song, their joy evident in their expressions.
Happy New Year!
Originally intending to leave, Kousaka Kyosuke stopped in his tracks upon seeing Sei Shonagon, who stood out among the ladies-in-waiting.
He listened quietly as Sei Shonagon sang her new waka poem.
After listening to the whole thing, he smiled and left.
Sei Shonagon's glamorous style is like a bright sun, dazzling and captivating.
Who knows how much trouble she'll cause after leaving the palace?
However, we can't just back down because of the trouble, can we?
The four imperial guards following behind him kept their eyes down, their noses closed, their minds focused, their gazes fixed straight ahead.
"I don't know the relationship between Lord Kyosuke and the Shonagon."
"I don't know, I don't know..."
The hypnotic voice in my head kept repeating.
Shijou Tei tried his best to block and erase certain memories.
be honest.
Shijou Tei had a very good impression of Kousaka Kyosuke.
Especially after entering the mansion, I saw that the mansion was well-ordered and the rules were very simple and strict.
Even knowing that Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't really get involved in things, you can still clearly understand his personality through that.
Having come from a chaebol family, he had some understanding of management from a young age.
