Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 565

My mind raced with a series of thoughts in an instant.

Kyosuke Kosaka agreed to his brother-in-law Hiromasa's suggestion.

"Take care on your journey, Hiromasa-nii-san." Kagura still fulfilled her duty as a younger sister.

"See you later."

Minamoto no Hiromasa smiled broadly, waved his hand dismissively, and left.

"Let's go too." Kousaka Kyosuke patted Kagura's hair.

Kagura gently nodded her little head: "Mmm!"

Soon after, the two began patrolling and strolling around Kyoto.

During this patrol, some temples and shrines were distributing porridge in their backyards.

The rice in the granary was distributed to these clergy members for their use.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn’t want to get involved in the specifics.

In the mythological era, it's best to be cautious when dealing with matters involving deities.

According to the original storyline of "Onmyoji".

Currently, Amaterasu has transformed into the sun and is in a dormant state, while some deities survived the serpent god's judgment.

Power is in Tsukuyomi's hands.

Overall, Takamagahara is crippled, but it's not over yet.

Without a clear resolution, Kyosuke Kousaka would certainly not have any conflict with these representatives of the gods.

Ultimately, the conflict was completely unnecessary.

Walk to the location of Ukyo Shijo-ji.

Kyosuke Kosaka saw some people building temples in the cold wind.

It wasn't the temple the Taoist priest originally intended to build; that temple had already been built. Instead, it was the temple that was destroyed by the wild dragon a few days ago.

"Shitennoji Temple."

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the Chinese characters on the plaque and shook his head inwardly.

The main temple of Shitennoji Temple in this era was still located in Nagaoka, the secondary capital.

Unfortunately, Nagaokakyo, a city with a long history and once the capital, is no longer the political, economic, and cultural center.

The former capital, Heijō, was in terrible condition, not to mention Nagaoka.

"The world's belief in gods is very strange."

"The nobles are Buddhists, yet they forbid monks from building more temples in Kyoto..."

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered, yet it all seemed perfectly natural.

After the incident in Heijō-kyō, establishing shrines and temples became a "red flag."

Unless absolutely necessary, the establishment of shrines and temples in Kyoto generally requires the approval of several ministers.

Furthermore, it cannot be established on the nodes of the spiritual veins.

"The power of the royal family and the nobility is very strong. Compared to their own safety, faith is really like trash that can be discarded at any time."

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was already interested in myths, legends, folk tales, and folk culture, was quite curious.

In the mythological era, faith actually diminished considerably.

It seems that everyone now knows about the gods, their power, and their mystery.

There's a saying that goes something like this—when mystery is no longer mystery…

goo goo-

The subtle, persistent alarm bells sounded somewhat familiar to Kyosuke Kousaka.

He unconsciously looked toward the source of the sound.

She turned out to be a girl who seemed to be around the same age as Kagura, dressed in commoner clothes.

Without much thought, Kyosuke Kosaka handed Kagura a vegetable package wrapped in oil paper from his magical space.

Kagura understood, took the vegetable bag, went to talk to the girl for a few words, and then came back.

Kousaka Kyosuke then left with Kagura.

On the way, Kagura was still a little curious.

Why did Kyosuke give them food?

"Because I look somewhat like you."

"Thank you, Kyosuke."

"Hmm..." Kousaka Kyosuke mumbled a response, feeling there was nothing to thank him for.

When you see a girl who looks somewhat like your partner, you can't help but look at her picture.

Similar to how I felt when I first saw Haruno.

The two sisters, Haruno and Yukino, look very alike.

Especially as the days went by, Kyosuke Kousaka felt that Yukino was becoming more and more like Haruno in her features.

Perhaps it's because Yukino is becoming more and more feminine and gentle, and Haruno also seems to be intentionally making her words and actions more gentle.

If he hadn't read the original "Oregairu" manga, Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't have believed these changes.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a sense of accomplishment again~

Patrol completed.

Kyosuke Kousaka carried Kagura to the agreed-upon location in the suburbs.

I waited for quite a while, but the person still hadn't arrived, which was a bit of a surprise.

"I'll ask the spirits around here," Kagura suddenly said.

Kyosuke Kousaka had no objections.

He noticed that Kagura had been taking the initiative to use magic to do chores these days, and of course he supported her.

Even the seemingly most laid-back companions in the bedchamber are often busy with various chores.

Because most of them come from the modern world, they have a certain degree of independence in their thinking.

The idea that "those who do not work shall not eat" still exists.

The idea of ​​pixelated clothing and plain dresses also exists.

Fujishikibu, on the other hand, seemed to take it more lightly.

Most of the time was spent dressing up, mixing incense, reading, and writing waka poems.

Oh, I almost forgot about Chika, Moe, and the others; they also had a great time playing the game.

Each of them has their own way of living.

Kyosuke Kosaka probably thinks that if these couples can live happily, then nothing else matters.

After half a cup of tea, Kagura received the result.

"Brother Boya appears in the eastern direction."

"There happens to be a village there with about a hundred people, and lately the villagers have been having nightmares... This shouldn't be a problem that Boya could solve, right?"

Kousaka Kyousuke's mouth twitched.

This brother-in-law has a habit of making decisions on his own.

Wouldn't it be better to just defeat the monsters in order? Why add more drama?

You could tell that Kagura was a little unhappy on her face.

“Boya is causing trouble, I have to say something to him.”

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and said, "Let's go take a look first."

Kagura quickly climbed onto Kyosuke Kousaka's back.

The little body is still honest.

She was still quite worried about her brother.

Kyosuke Kosaka found it amusing, but still quickly arrived at his destination.

In less than a dozen breaths, the two arrived.

"There are traces of demonic power, seemingly a very hidden illusionary barrier. The villagers' nightmares are probably related to this."

"Indeed, let's go take a look."

After agreeing with Kagura, Kousaka Kyosuke cast a spell to enter the barrier.

Kagura followed closely behind.

This girl has an outstanding talent for Yin-Yang magic.
