Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 631

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had come over, introduced himself.

Ayanokouji also introduced himself, gesturing to the people beside him: "My name is Kiyotaka, this is Mikado, Hachi, Manabu..."

He prefers to cooperate rather than become an enemy.

This woman named Honghua is really powerful.

If a conflict arises, it will only make things more complicated.

Once a wish is granted, it is granted.

Those who noticed this scene held the spider lily in even higher regard.

Ultimately, Ayanokoji and the neighboring Hikigaya were very famous.

Those in Kyoto knew even better that the two of them killed many ferocious demons every day.

After that.

Ayanokouji then had Shijo Tei, Hikigaya, and Gaku speak.

Kyosuke Kosaka was also invited, but he declined.

He wanted to see how capable his subordinates were.

This is precisely the opportunity.

"I'm more at ease with Xue, I'll observe Mikado, and we'll see if Kiyotaka and Hachi have made any progress..."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

Fifteen minutes later, a group of people walked out of the basin and out of the only exit.

A message flashed through everyone's minds.

Unfulfilled desires, separation from loved ones, and encounters with those we resent—these create countless intricate cycles of cause and effect. This time, God has recreated the illusions of the past…

"Kiyohime?" Many surprised, soft voices rang out.

Higanbana was surprised. So many people know Kiyohime?

Kiyohime knew that too.

But they shouldn't be that famous.

Kyosuke Kousaka was speechless. What? Has a dungeon appeared?

What is this for?

Before they could think any further, the group had already moved to a street.

Not far away, there seemed to be a lively temple fair, with young men and women happily strolling around.

Ayanokouji paused, then looked at Hikigaya, Horikita Manabu, and Shijo Tei.

Hikigaya suggested, "Why don't we split up and go our separate ways? This mission is only related to Kiyohime's feelings."

The evil gods probably wanted to see their interactions with Kiyohime more.

He guessed that the evil god had no interest in watching them do other useless things.

"Then how should they be distributed?" Ayanokouji's gaze was fixed on Horikita Manabu and Shijo Tei.

He was indeed a bit clueless when it came to managing things like burdens.

Letting him lead the troops into battle is really no problem.

Feeling immense pressure from Ayanokouji's gaze, Horikita Manabu asked in a questioning tone:

"Let's split into four groups and regroup here in half an hour..."

Four batches?

Ayanokouji looked at Kousaka Kyosuke and Higanbana with a conditioned reflex, puzzled.

The result was that I saw Higanbana pulling Kousaka Kyosuke towards a crowded place, which made me feel depressed.

Didn't we agree to cooperate?

Going solo so soon?

Kyosuke Kousaka has no connection to this.

It's best not to be too attached to the temptations of the Yamata no Orochi, or you'll eventually become a snake demon in his hands.

Desires are acceptable, but they must never be exposed to the enemy.

"Hey, would you mind coming with me for a walk?"

"casual."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was following behind the spider lily, yawned.

He was looking forward to returning to his mansion early in the morning to celebrate the New Year with his partners, but then this unexpected incident occurred.

While Kyosuke Kousaka could refuse, refusing would mean letting the weakened Yamata no Orochi go.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes it's worth a try and give it a shot, to test the depth.

The wish is simply that the sparring shouldn't go too far.

What if I get killed by Yamata no Orochi? Wouldn't I be devastated?

I decided to choose a guarantee and prepare to run away immediately...

"what is this?"

"windmill."

“A windmill.” The red spider lily stared intently at the windmill spinning in a stall, her eyes fixed on it.

The unshaven boss was also helpless, hesitant to speak.

"I'll buy it for you, can you wait a bit?" Kyosuke Kousaka had no choice but to say.

Only then did Higanbana turn around and look at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka took the spider lily to a wood carving stall, chatted with the owner for a few minutes, and finally borrowed a carving knife to quickly carve a half-meter-tall piece of wood.

A chilling glint flashed, and with just a few strokes, Kyosuke Kousaka had already sketched out some distinct marks. His movements were fluid and graceful, and he quickly carved out the embryonic form, then his speed increased even further...

A crowd of curious onlookers gradually gathered around.

The wood outlines and detailed textures carved by Kyosuke Kosaka are revealed quite quickly.

Unbeknownst to me, the surroundings grew increasingly quiet, and I held my breath to observe this sculpture, which resembled more of a performance.

The others who were gathering information were also stunned.

Can this be done?

Hikigaya remained silent. There probably aren't many experts who understand carving techniques, right?

Ayanokouji said with some regret, "I once wanted to learn sculpture, but I didn't end up learning it..."

In modern times, carving, weaving, embroidery... all of these can be learned through the internet or books.

But in this era, it can be considered a form of wealth.

If you really want to acquire it, it's no less difficult than obtaining martial arts skills.

"Wow, you know so much."

The red spider lily sighed inwardly, seeing that a wooden carving of a peacock spreading its tail feathers was almost complete, and she really wanted to praise it.

But you can't do that, otherwise wouldn't this man get carried away?

The moment the peacock's tail feathers were finally carved, a group of people burst into loud cheers.

"it is good!"

“Good craftsmanship!”

"Ten gold pieces!"

Ok?

As soon as Kousaka Kyosuke slowly put down his carving knife, he bowed in the direction from which the bold voice had been spoken.

"Thank you for your kind offer."

"Haha, someone come here!" The nobleman dressed as Shi Jin shouted, laughing and waving his hand.

A servant walked up to Kousaka Kyosuke and handed him a cloth bag that looked like a bundle. Kousaka Kyosuke thanked him and accepted it.

Now it's time to go on a shopping spree!

The other time travelers were quite shocked. Was learning technology really that advantageous?

165. Projecting the past and illusions / The situation of the four siblings / Honami Ichinose / Kinkame?

Having received the money, Kyosuke Kosaka took out half a coin, or 500 mon, from his bundle and gave it to the stall owner.

He then left with the spider lily.
