Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 612

Ultimately, the spider lily in front of us should represent the "fun person" persona.

Even if one leans towards the order side, one cannot have any particular ideas.

It's better to be with Yoto Hime; you can be manipulated anytime, anywhere.

White Wolf is even more loyal; whenever he sees her acting earnestly and shyly, as if following orders, he almost explodes.

The Moon Chaser is a stubborn and proud person; just coax her a little.

They were all very well-behaved.

Kyosuke Kousaka still prefers this one.

Thinking of this, Kousaka Kyosuke almost wanted to leave this place to wake up and then go and take good care of these shikigami.

"So cooking can make you this happy?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I was just thinking about some happy things."

"Oh, that's a pity." The red spider lily smiled.

Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes were straight.

He felt he couldn't continue watching so carelessly.

Seeing bamboo shoots makes me think of peaches, and seeing peaches makes me think of flowers... This is incredible!

"My way of eating it is to put the wasabi on the sashimi and then dip it in some sauce."

After grinding the wasabi, Kyosuke Kosaka picked up his chopsticks to demonstrate how to use cloves to serve the spider lily.

"what--"

The red spider lily gently brushed aside the strands of hair on her face, revealing her lustrous, rosy lips, and her pearly teeth, as clear as jade, reflecting a shimmering light.

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke paused for a moment, then fed the spider lily anyway.

As the fish sashimi dipped in wasabi and soy sauce entered her mouth, she tilted her head back and chewed slowly.

Although her leaning body was wrapped in a black kimono, the shape of her bamboo shoots was too eye-catching.

Fortunately, Kyosuke Kosaka is a man with a very strong will.

He won't be tempted!

He woke up and got to work immediately.

Uh... never mind, we're having a party in the morning, we need everyone, it'll take a long time to prepare.

I still have to work.

"what--"

"Eat it yourself." Kyosuke Kosaka stopped indulging Higanbana and put the chopsticks in her hand.

Higanbana picked up her chopsticks and began to eat, following the method that Kousaka Kyosuke had just taught her. She slowly opened her mouth after only taking one bite.

"Are you so unhappy because I don't feed you?"

"No, please don't feed me."

Kyosuke Kousaka raised his hands and made a cross gesture, almost as if he was about to unleash a laser beam.

The red spider lily blinked, looking puzzled, and then quietly began to eat the sashimi.

When Kyosuke Kousaka saw this, he relaxed, yawned, and looked around, wondering if it was time to leave.

Anyway, the red spider lily doesn't listen to stories.

They even tried to "frame" him by taking a sea fish from him.

No matter how you look at it, he's at a slight disadvantage.

After thinking it over, he simply lay down, and just then, he used a straw mat woven with tightly intertwined red flowers as a blanket.

Soon after, Kyosuke Kousaka fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but after a long while, he finally woke up when he noticed that the chewing sounds around him had stopped.

"what about the taste?"

My mouth is a little dry.

"I actually wanted to pair it with a drink for you, but the wrong drink would be a bit out of place with sashimi."

Kyosuke Kosaka explains the meaning of the spider lily.

When he came to this era, he never thought of eating sashimi, let alone making it from time to time.

They even went to great lengths to research how to make it taste even better...

To be honest, he had never thought of such a thing in his entire life!

Considering that everyone in the bedchamber was happy except for Su Chang who was a little displeased, he went along with the crowd.

I forced myself to eat a few slices each time, and gradually, I stopped disliking them.

All I can say is that life is something he's forced into—no, he's quite happy about it.

Suddenly remembering what happened after each banquet, Kyosuke Kosaka quickly changed his mind.

"Then give me the bar. I've hardly ever drunk alcohol."

"So you drank it?"

"I've had a little bit, but I think the aristocratic ones taste better."

“That’s a rather…” Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to retort.

But then he suddenly remembered that the taverns in the market and commercial streets were almost all controlled by the powerful nobles, so he had to shut his mouth.

Technology and knowledge were tightly controlled during this feudal era.

The best outcome for so-called time travelers who expose some key knowledge is to be confined to one place.

Like Shizuko and Chitanda, when she went out, Kousaka Kyosuke usually had Yoto-hime and Hakuro protect her.

Not to mention that they were often accompanied by people dressed in plain clothes.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Kyosuke Kosaka still took out a bottle of slightly stronger liquor for Higanbana.

Then, the two sat down together at a low table and started drinking.

Some wanted to ask about the situation on the other side of the underworld, but Kousaka Kyosuke ultimately kept quiet.

"According to the Onmyoji storyline, the turmoil in the underworld is even greater than in Kyoto, but the plot only briefly mentions it..."

Besides, it seems pointless to confirm the facts directly from the other shore flower.

At this very moment, the shrine maiden Orochi could descend upon Kyoto at any time.

Therefore, Seimei should go to the Underworld to search for the Kusanagi Sword fragments under the guidance of Kuro Seimei and Ara.

Even Enma in the underworld was preparing for Seimei's arrival...

It was all meticulously planned out!

Definitely a tool!

Thinking about this, Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want to get involved.

On the one hand, it's troublesome and thankless; on the other hand, it's like being ordered around like a fool.

You're also very likely to be bombarded with a whole bunch of riddles!

So how could Kousaka Kyosuke possibly be willing to make contact with Seimei?

You could become a tool in no time.

As a divine messenger of Takamagahara, Ara can freely enter and leave the imperial palace in the story.

What is certain is that the royal family and nobles would absolutely not dare to provoke him.

His word is likely to be more effective than the Emperor or the Taoist priest!

Therefore, Kyosuke Kousaka naturally avoided it.

"Ara can foresee the future, and other gods should also have some ability to do so to some extent. It's best not to come into contact with him."

Well, ever since he learned that this was the story world of "Onmyoji", Kyosuke Kousaka decided to try to avoid other gods as much as possible.

As for the Orochi, an evil god that cannot be killed and can only be sealed?

Since we can't win, we should stay out of the way and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Let's see if we can seize the opportunity to seal him away for hundreds or thousands of years.

By then, Orochi will have truly emerged, and Kyosuke Kousaka should have more ways to deal with him.

"Aren't we going to talk about something?" the quiet spider lily suddenly spoke up.

Kyosuke Kosaka asked curiously, "Isn't it better to be quiet?"

"Who told someone to slap their face and shout at me—'Want to hear a story?' Want to hear a story? Yes, I want to hear a story!"

The red spider lily deliberately spoke in a flippant tone.
