Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

After leaving, I bought a windmill for the spider lilies and went to the gathering place ahead of time.

The other time travelers noticed and quickly followed.

"Money is the best channel, everyone, let's work hard."

When Kousaka Kyosuke saw Ayanokouji following him, he gave him the five pieces of gold and then left.

As I passed by, I saw several people who had fainted in the corner.

They were all burly and had the typical look of thugs.

This is very true.

Very reasonable.

It seems that it really was a projection of the "past".

A realistic illusion – this can be considered standard practice in the Onmyoji storyline.

Initially, the Genji residence was projected after the defeat of the priestess Orochi, then Fujiwara no Michitsuna imitated it, and subsequently, various similar situations began to occur.

Kyosuke Kousaka had no doubt that he would have to go through this several times as well.

When asked, the answer is "Kyoto crisis," and when asked further, the answer is "the duties of an Onmyoji."

It seems there's nothing wrong with getting familiar with things first.

"The mortal realm is quite lively here."

"You talk as if things aren't lively in the underworld?"

“The underworld doesn’t have such a peaceful order, and it’s impossible to make a deal so peacefully,” the other shore flower said with a smile.

Kousaka Kyosuke responded with an "oh," not too surprised.

He already knew about the order of the underworld from his previous conversations with the other shore flower.

It's the kind of rule where the strong prey on the weak.

If you're not strong enough, what kind of things can you sell?

But then again, if you're strong, why would you need to sell things and do business?

Why can't we just grab what we need?

Yama, the lord of the underworld, probably doesn't care, as this is ultimately part of the ecosystem.

Is the food here safe to eat?

"I don't know, how about I tell you what it tastes like?"

"What did you say? You spoke too softly, I can't hear you."

"You probably can't eat it. Anyway, I'll make it for you when you leave."

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke slowly.

If you're in a worse situation than others, then it's best to bow your head.

Unnecessary vanity and a strong sense of pride will only harm you.

"You're not angry, are you?" The spider lily blinked, looking curious.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "No, I'm thinking about how to break this deadlock. I don't have time to be angry."

I've already decided to make you call me "brother," so what are you still angry about?

"Oh dear, I forgot to solve the problem. We can't forget the snake god's request."

"It's not too late to wander around and ask around; it's a rare opportunity to have a temple fair."

"Since you have this idea, I won't say any more, so as not to interfere with your thinking."

"Well, let's go."

Kousaka Kyosuke walked forward.

He has a very Zen-like attitude; he doesn't care whether he finishes it or not.

It seems that Orochi prefers to watch the show.

And he never forgot to bring these time travelers along, especially his trusted confidants.

Upon realizing this, Kyosuke Kousaka believed that the Yamata no Orochi was observing these transmigrators.

The thoughts and values ​​of these time travelers are certainly much more interesting than those of ordinary civilians, so it is quite normal to observe them.

Great yokai like Tamamo-no-Mae, Yama-kaze, and Kagura, and Yamata-no-Orochi—which one of them didn't you find fascinating?

He's a fun-loving person.

I enjoy watching beautiful things, like cherry blossoms, that are fleeting and ephemeral.

It's like working hard for many years in the modern world, achieving success in both love and career, and reaching the pinnacle of life, only to be met with a devastating blow.

Not only will we be back to square one, but things might be even worse.

Then Orochi, the amused one, watched the show with a grin.

Isn't that despicable?

Fortunately, Yamata no Orochi prefers to guide events to a spectator-like state rather than forcibly intervene.

Therefore, as long as you have a strong will, there won't be any problems.

Characters like Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, Horikita Manabu, and Shijo Tei are all protagonist-level figures.

Kyosuke Kousaka isn't worried about willpower, so if Orochi wants to try to seduce him, so be it.

Who are the people that Kousaka Kyosuke has his eye on?

At this moment——

Ayanokouji led the other classmates of Hikigaya, as well as those who were willing to go with him, on their way.

Hikigaya was with Ryuen Sho and his men, as well as several other people.

Horikita Manabu brought his younger sister, most of his classmates, and several other people he didn't know.

Like Horikita Manabu, Shijo Tei brought his older sister, her classmates from Shuchiin Academy, and other people...

The total number is approximately 500.

"Lord Mikado, your shoulders are so strong! That's amazing. How about I marry you?"

"Consort Zhen, look, Xiao Liu is joking again. Come to think of it, it would be more suitable for me to marry Lord Yumen, wouldn't it?"

"Princess Zhenfei~ Princess Zhenfei~ Please help me put in a good word~"

Surrounded by a group of classmates and friends, Zhenfei felt dizzy.

Her younger brother is so popular, what should she do?

Shijou Tei himself tried his best to maintain an awkward smile, responding to each of the women who approached him, without making any promises.

He understands everyone's difficulties very well, but he almost burst into tears just from marrying a little girl who hasn't even put on her clothes yet!

Where would I find the strength to face other marriage partners?

Even though the current system is polygamous, he has no ambitions.

He was thinking about how to deal with his wife, who would be arriving home soon after the ceremony.

Yes, the future wife will soon be living in the mansion.

After all, Minamoto no Yorinobu had briefly mentioned this surprising move by the head of the family to his father, and his father quickly understood that Minamoto no Yorinobu wanted to fight for the interests of his granddaughter.

In this kind of situation, the father, who was once a subordinate, didn't have many options.

At most, we'll make plans for the future.

Shijou-tei understood his father's predicament, which is why he couldn't agree to anything at this moment.

He couldn't even agree to a fake marriage.

Otherwise, Minamoto no Yorinobu would definitely have objections, which could lead to a misunderstanding of the head of the family's attitude.

In this era, there are many things we cannot control.

Thinking of all this, Shijou Tei couldn't help but shout in his heart.

"Sister! Please help me!"

"..." Consort Zhen pretended not to see or hear.

She was also helpless.

Her classmates and many acquaintances have changed a lot, but she understands them very well.

This is an era where you have to fight tooth and nail to survive.

Many natural disasters and man-made calamities can easily kill people, so it's normal to want to try to escape a bad situation.

In Kyoto Port, not everyone can have the protection of numerous samurai and onmyoji like his father's superior, Minamoto no Yorinobu, the leader of the Daiji Prefecture.

Most of the people, including their classmates and alumni, lived in a town of similar size with their families and were protected by Onmyoji and samurai.

They were severely restricted in all aspects, much like being imprisoned.
