Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 494

Suddenly, he realized something—

Influenced by the plot, he regarded the protagonist, Abe no Seimei, as a good person.

That's not wrong.

However, he seems to have overlooked the true situation of Abe no Seimei!

"Since Raikou said he greatly admired him, it means that Abe no Seimei was definitely not a very kind person."

"Even considering Minamoto no Yorimitsu's personality, Abe no Seimei might be quite similar to him..."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't say that the pure and kind Seimei of today is so 'weak'."

Thinking about it carefully.

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly realized that Abe no Seimei, whom he had met twice before, was very likely a ruthless and decisive person.

And now, what about Abe no Seimei, who has split into two sides: good and evil?

Seimei, with his pure and kind side, should be very gentle and dedicated to protecting Kyoto, according to his character design.

The darker side of Seimei...

According to the plot, the goal is to reverse the Yin and Yang realms, making monsters the masters of the world.

Isn't this the same idea that Abe no Seimei once had?

People are still the same person.

But Seimei's darker side can no longer be bound by certain rules!

The thought of such a situation made Kyosuke Kosaka gasp.

—Assuming Seimei was unaware that the dark side of being sacrificed still existed.

This shows that he has made up his mind to stand on the side of humanity and protect Kyoto.

So, this fact proves that Seimei was a ruthless person!

—And suppose Seimei knew that there might be two halves, one yin and one yang, yet he still did this?

This fact also proves that Seimei was a ruthless person!

Kousaka Kyosuke guessed.

Was Seimei unsure of what to do or which side to stand on?

So you've decided to "fight yourself"?

To create two versions of oneself.

A guardian of Kyoto?

A fight for the rights of monsters?

Neither side will go against their own conscience; both sides are doing what they want to do.

Both of them are themselves!

People definitely feel more comfortable.

I haven't betrayed my true intentions at all.

This mess... how should I put it?

Ok.

So far, Kuro Seimei has not committed any evil deeds.

It doesn't quite fall into the category of a complete mess.

"Kyosuke, have you thought of something interesting?"

“…Nothing.”

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled at Minamoto no Yorimitsu who was asking the question, trying his best not to show anything unusual.

He then realized that wisdom was really not "powerful".

Despite possessing some foresight regarding the plot, his analytical abilities are unfortunately still somewhat lacking.

If it weren't for Minamoto no Yorimitsu's rare use of the word "appreciation,"

He probably still doesn't know what the original Abe no Seimei was doing.

No! To be more precise, they don't even know what kind of person they are.

On the contrary, it was Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

It's as if they knew what Abe no Seimei was thinking from the very beginning.

"Then let's continue talking about Seimei. Although this great Onmyoji is clearly causing trouble, his power is very important to Kyoto."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu spoke leisurely.

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded unconsciously; the pure and kind-hearted Seimei Mirai was indeed the protagonist.

They come to me with all sorts of problems, and I resolve all crises along the way.

Kyosuke Kousaka loves protagonists who are both capable and responsible.

So he echoed Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words: "Seimei is indeed very important."

Whatever those in power say goes.

"But he lost his memory." Minamoto no Yorimitsu then introduced another twist.

Kousaka Kyosuke then feigned confusion: "Lord Raikou wants me to keep an eye on his situation?"

"If it could be like that, that would be wonderful."

“That’s no problem. I think even Seimei with amnesia shouldn’t forget the most important things.”

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu gave a friendly smile.

His smile seemed to reflect the very value of Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kyosuke Kousaka saw it.

He himself received another affirmation from the head of the Minamoto clan.

If you have any strange objects on you.

After a "ding," a mechanical voice should sound in your mind.

—Minamoto no Yorimitsu's favorability towards you +??

Probably so.

Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't figure it out.

Farewell to Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Kyosuke Kosaka then prepared to go find his brother-in-law, Yasunori Kamo.

Then they'll go on patrol.

After patrol, I'll go to the sleeping quarters and have a good chat with everyone~

After having his retainers escort Kousaka Kyosuke away, Minamoto no Yorimitsu knelt on a futon and pondered quietly.

After some time, his younger brother Minamoto no Yorihira arrived.

He knelt opposite Minamoto no Yorimitsu, silently waiting for him to speak.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately explained the matter briefly.

"...The great Onmyoji of the dark side, huh?" Minamoto no Yorihime's face was filled with seriousness and apprehension.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled and said:

Why do you need to care so much? Just watch them put on a show on stage, isn't that enough?

Minamoto no Yorihira looked slightly taken aback and immediately lowered his head.

"Brother's words are correct."

He had overlooked this point.

That was far too reckless.

Since Seimei has both good and evil sides, let's just observe their actions and confrontations for now.

My elder brother is indeed worthy of being called my elder brother.

"How's it going with Kagura?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who did not continue to discuss the topic of Abe no Seimei, brought up another matter.

Minamoto no Yorihira's heart sank slightly, but he still answered without hesitation:

"...She still hasn't woken up. After all, she lost half of her soul, and her psychic powers seem to have been lost along with this sacrifice."

"—No, it wasn't a loss, it seems to be related to guiding some fragments of her soul into another priestess."

As he spoke, Minamoto no Yorihira frowned and fell into deep thought again.
