Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 633

The scary thing is, there will still be some security concerns...

In short, it still can't compare to Kyoto, the most prosperous city in the country and home to the three major Onmyoji families.

"Everyone wants to use my relationship with Mikado to develop their careers in Kyoto, but Kyoto is actually quite chaotic."

"However, Kyoto is definitely the safest place in the country, but the price level is very high. People without a lot of money will quickly find themselves in trouble."

Princess Maki is just as rational as her brother.

She understood perfectly.

Helping classmates and alumni come over is not just helping one person, it's helping an entire family!

The food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and even servants that a family needs all require a lot of money.

It's estimated that moving here will drain most of their savings.

If you still need to live in Kyoto and maintain a decent lifestyle, the cost will only increase.

If no one holds an official position in the imperial court, the family will be unable to make ends meet and will eventually become impoverished.

Even if they are destitute, they are still more miserable than those who are demoted or exiled.

In contrast, Consort Zhen was worried about the safety of the head of the household, that is, her future husband.

Others need to be more concerned about their life safety and living environment.

This is different.

Empress Zhenfei couldn't help with this either, just like the most despicable bystander.

Every now and then, she would feel self-loathing.

What can she do...?

"Shouldn't we be looking for Kiyohime next?" Kojima, who is the son of the Metropolitan Police Department's chief of staff in the modern world, squeezed his way to Shijou Tei's side and asked.

At this time, Shijou Tei was in charge, and he had to consult before he could do anything.

"Let's go out and gather information in groups of two men and two women. That will be more efficient. Besides, a group like us would be too conspicuous."

Having already noticed the strange looks he was receiving, Shijou Tei quickly said...

After saying that, he quickly chose the small island and the man he met in Kyoto Port, Tsubasa Tanuma.

The other two women traveling with her were her older sister, Maki, and her best friend, Nagisa Kashiwagi.

The others had no choice but to inquire about the situation.

Haven't they thought of making a wish to a certain deity who often amuses them?

Half an hour later.

The group of people gradually returned to their original location, and no one was left empty-handed.

Ayanokouji, who was temporarily in charge, inquired about the situation.

Then, Long Yuanxiang spoke first.

"Kiyohime is the eldest daughter of a shoji, and currently lives in a mansion in the southeast."

"Thank you for this information. Does anyone else have more?"

“I heard from a peach vendor that Kiyohime liked to go out with her maids whenever there was a temple fair,” someone else quickly added.

Then more people added to the list.

Kyosuke Kosaka listened carefully and realized that having more people around made things easier.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "There's a Buddhist ceremony being held on the far west side; Anzhen is very likely there!"

"Anzhen?" The other shore flower tilted its head in confusion.

Kyosuke Kosaka also put on a strange expression.

A girl with long pink hair next to her whispered, "He's Kiyohime's lover in the story."

The other shore flower asked with great interest, "What exactly is the story? I've only heard that she's a hysterical monster who goes mad because of men."

"To put it simply, it's the story of Kiyohime falling in love with Anchin at first sight, Anchin deceiving her with lies because he was devoted to Buddhism, and finally escaping to the temple where he was burned to death."

"Please go into more detail, so that my dear brother can know what kind of hellish punishment a dishonest man will face."

The red spider lily then pleaded with the pink-haired girl.

Kyosuke Kosaka was speechless, completely unwilling to speak.

In the end, he still patched up the pink-haired girl's hair:

"Many stories are embellished according to the local customs and culture, as well as certain needs and things that need to be expressed."

"Therefore, the contents of the story should not be taken entirely at face value; it should only be used as a reference."

The pink-haired girl looked at her with admiration: "You are so knowledgeable."

"No, if you analyze it carefully, you'll find that what I said is no different from nonsense."

"...You, you don't have to say that. I think it makes a lot of sense."

Uh, they're really easy to bully.

Kyosuke Kosaka made one comment and then said nothing more.

Because the other shore flower was already smiling and had placed her little hand on his shoulder, if he spoke again, he might be "instantly defeated".

then.

The pink-haired girl whispered the story of Kiyohime and Anchin to the spider lily again.

On the field, each individual strives to complete the information about this world.

Finally, Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, and the others began assigning tasks again.

Kousaka Kyosuke planned to continue strolling around the temple fair, hoping to run into Kiyohime.

He knew Kiyohime's attire perfectly well.

Tsubaki flower.

It's standard equipment!

When she transforms into SP, the red camellia flower turns into a white camellia flower, and the snake tail on her body also transforms into a green snake that lingers around her.

However, that was when Anchin was fused with the demon, which is unlikely to happen now.

"You left again?" asked Higanbana, who was being pulled along by Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Wouldn't it be better to keep shopping?"

"You clearly just want your older sister to protect you. Sigh, you don't mind bringing one more person along, do you?"

"Ok?"

When Kousaka Kyosuke turned around, he found that the pink-haired girl who had just explained was also being pulled along by the spider lily.

The pink-haired girl looked completely bewildered.

Kyosuke Kosaka casually replied, "If you like it, then I'd be more than happy to agree."

To be honest, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Orochi's mission this time was fundamentally about emotional issues!

Relying solely on force is probably not very effective; what's needed is intelligence, and perhaps also so-called "empathy."

So, it would be good if a normal person joined.

"The current situation is unlikely to suddenly veer into the direction of a horror movie."

"If that's really the case, it would have to be after Kiyohime and Anchin have developed an emotional connection."

“…Fanbo.” A short-haired girl followed.

The red spider lily glanced at her and laughed, "Come on over here too, my little brother here welcomes anyone."

"Don't slander me."

Kyosuke Kosaka tilted his head and glanced back at her.

At the same time, something felt strange to me. It turned out to be "Fat Bo"?

In the drama "Real Education", the kind-hearted man who is repeatedly betrayed by Arisu Sakayanagi, Sho Ryuen, and Nagumo is suspected of turning evil.

These are difficult times, and it's a miracle that nothing's happened yet. It must be because we're in a relatively comfortable environment.

The girl with short brown hair next to me has such an innocent and delicate expression... Could it be Kikyo Kushida?

Given that his power is currently sealed, it is difficult for Kyosuke Kousaka to identify him through other means.

I simply ignored it and kept moving forward.

Upon discovering a location offering a reward for writing poetry, he simply picked up a brush and began to write with flowing strokes.

"The sweltering summer festival is drawing to a close; we purify ourselves of evil spirits and stir our emotions. The rituals are held regularly to end the oppressive heat, and the evening coolness arises by the water after the purification rites..."

As soon as the poem was finished, a "Great!" rang out.

The people following behind Kousaka Kyosuke had subtle expressions, realizing that the scene was very familiar.
