Monster Market.
Kousaka Kyosuke, who was already inside, was strolling around and shopping.
The monsters come from all over the country, and they always have some rare things to sell.
For example, a monster once took out a seed of spirit rice.
Kyosuke Kosaka spent 10,000 sen to buy it, which attracted a warm welcome from some monsters.
Of course, he was just "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones," setting an example.
With so many monsters around, perhaps some lucky ones have discovered rare crops that no one else knows about?
Kyosuke Kosaka felt it was necessary to give it a try.
If Shizuko is willing to try things out of certain possibilities, why can't her husband do the same?
"...Are you Kyosuke?"
A calm voice rang out beside Kyosuke Kousaka.
Kousaka Kyosuke turned his head and looked.
It was a handsome, silver-haired man with a pair of wings on his back.
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I am Seimei."
"Nonsense!"
The silver-haired man held a round fan and coldly stared at Kousaka Kyosuke, looking ready to make a move at any moment.
Kyosuke Kosaka considered the consequences of capturing the man, but ultimately decided against it.
"Let's go, take me to see the person."
"Humph!"
The silver-haired man, Ōtengu, who knew he had been tricked, had a cold expression on his face.
Kousaka Kyosuke didn't mind.
Given his current state of mind, how could he possibly be disturbed by such behavior?
Moreover, this Great Tengu is, in a sense, a pretty good tool.
According to the character design.
He is a stubborn, principled, and upright monster.
Kuro Seimei said he wanted to make the yokai the rulers of the world, and Ōtengu believed him and risked his life for it.
Later on, Kuro Seimei was completely incapable of doing it, but Ōtengu still chose to follow him.
It can be said to be full of "loyal dog" attributes.
Thinking while walking.
Kyosuke Kosaka found himself in a familiar tavern.
"Kyosuke-sama."
A woman with flaxen hair walked over.
The woman was A-Zhi, dressed as always.
A simple indigo blue undershirt paired with linen trousers, with a red belt cinching the waist, adds a touch of vibrancy to the overall look.
With her head wrapped in a scarf and cuffs draped with straps, she exuded an aura of efficiency and competence.
"I'm here. Could you please bring me a pot of wine?"
Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at Ori.
The face that came into view was still as tender as that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, but the figure was quite voluptuous.
The ravines and abysses are full of profound mystery.
Kyosuke Kosaka didn't look directly at it, or climb over it.
“Okay~” Azhi smiled slightly, her smile full of joy.
Compared to before, Azhi now employs a shy and introverted white cat demon, which makes things much easier for her.
Kousaka Kyosuke smiled back at Aori, then raised his chin to signal Ōtengu to lead the way.
The Great Tengu had a dark expression on his face. What was going on?
He's not some servant!
Not a moment later.
Kousaka Kyosuke then met Kuro Seimei, whom he had met before.
Seeing Kuro Seimei's illusory yet real state, he laughed in anger.
"What? Are you too ashamed to face anyone?"
"What do you mean?" The Great Tengu was enraged first, and was about to attack with his fan in hand.
Kyosuke Kosaka felt a strange, strong sense of déjà vu.
Well, isn't it just the scene where I saw Onikiri and Minamoto no Yorimitsu back then?
"Great Tengu, calm down."
"Yes, Lord Kuro Seimei," the Great Tengu said in a tone of admiration and respect.
Kyosuke Kosaka didn't look at the loyal dog's clingy appearance.
His gaze was fixed solely on Kuro Seimei.
As before, Kuro Seimei was still wearing a purple hunting robe and had painted face.
Aren't you going to sit down?
“Okay.” Kyosuke Kousaka replied and slowly sat down.
After sitting down, he couldn't help but ask, "You're not here to recruit me, are you?"
A strange glint flashed in Kuro Seimei's greyish-purple eyes, a smile that was neither quite a smile nor a frown.
"I just came to ask you what you really want?"
In which aspect?
"This market town."
"I wanted to buy some rare items, so I maintained order," Kousaka Kyosuke explained with a smile.
Of course, it also provides a place for some yokai, like the Moon Chaser, who come to Kyoto to live.
Kyoto is still too dangerous, and there are quite a few peaceful monsters that have been killed there.
On the contrary, the larger market area in this small town is relatively safer.
Even if an Onmyoji wants to exorcise a monster, they have to consider how many monsters there are and how much turmoil it might cause.
"Then let me ask you, what exactly do you want to do?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked again.
"I just want those Kyoto people who rule the world to realize how arrogant they are."
"and then?"
"Hehe." Kuro Seimei just chuckled and didn't answer.
They clearly lack the determination and perseverance of typical villains who openly reveal their plans and objectives.
Kyosuke Kosaka was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
Isn't it too much to use someone like that as an opponent?
Can't you at least give us some easier ones?
A moment later, Aori handed over the wine, and Kousaka Kyosuke had Kuro Seimei watch him drink.
Anyway, he's the kind of guy who's too ashamed to show his face in public.
After drinking for less than fifteen minutes, Kuro Seimei took his leave, and Ōtengu naturally followed.
Kyosuke Kosaka had no intention of keeping Ootengu.
Seeing that Kuro Seimei had chosen this place to talk, he knew he couldn't make a move.
When he makes a move, he can only catch the Great Tengu.
Will Kuro Seimei also be able to arrest people next?
It's best not to lose your integrity.
"Lord Kyosuke, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Azhi walked over apologetically.
She had already guessed that she had probably become a burden.
Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "It's alright, he's a person who follows the rules."
Black Seimei is still Abe no Seimei.
