Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 447

As the protagonist, Minamoto no Yorihei is constantly flattered.

After preparing the fish one by one, Minamoto no Yorihira returned to the drinking party.

He doesn't talk much, but he drinks with everyone and is completely unpretentious.

The atmosphere gradually became lively.

Kousaka Kyosuke chatted more and more comfortably with Michinaga's elder brother Fujiwara no Michiyoshi and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's half-brother Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

The protagonist Minamoto no Raihei?

He's still drinking with others.

So, this person is essentially a playboy?

Kyosuke Kousaka was unaware of this.

I just feel a pang of regret that I can't thank my friends today.

It's okay, I'll definitely do it tomorrow!

Day 235 of crossing

Having barely slept all night, Kyosuke Kousaka looked around at the group of people snoring on the table and the floor.

He shook his head secretly.

They're all so indulgent, it's really outrageous.

Another half hour passed.

After saying goodbye to the others, Kyosuke Kosaka and the awakened Yorihei Minamoto prepared to leave.

The result was the discovery that many vengeful spirits and evil spirits had appeared around Kyoto Port.

“It was controlled by the Tsuchigumo yesterday.” Minamoto no Yorihira frowned.

After sobering up, he regained his usual composure.

His serious nature made him reluctant to see the Tsuchigumo's future problems appear in Kyoto Port.

Kyosuke Kosaka suggested with a smile, "Why don't we capture them all and send them to a temple for the monks to perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife?"

"This……"

"Everything must have a beginning and an end."

"Indeed, then I'll leave it to you, Kyosuke-sama."

"Huh? Just me?"

"Oh, sorry, it was us," Minamoto no Yorihei said with a smile, correcting his words.

Kyosuke Kosaka responded with a smile.

The two then returned and spoke with the people of Da Zifu about the situation.

Then each person took charge of one side.

Each captures the vengeful spirits and evil souls that wander and hide in dark and gloomy corners.

The outskirts of Kyoto Port.

A residential building located in a shaded area.

Miyuki, or more precisely, Shirogane Miyuki from the modern world, is currently facing a situation.

Inside a dilapidated and simple mud house, his mother was gazing at him indifferently.

"Yuxing, where did the kerosene go?"

"...It was taken by Lord Mikado."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"..."

"What are you going to do with it?"

After three seconds of no response, the mother asked the same question in the same indifferent tone.

Miyuki's mother, Yushino, seemed to be like a robot.

His facial expression remained unchanged, as did his speaking speed and tone.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Shirogane Miyuki finally spoke out.

"...It was intended to be used to make incendiary bombs to fight monsters, but it was stopped."

"Please elaborate."

"……Yes."

Shirogane Miyuki finally finished recounting the whole story, albeit haltingly.

The father, Wu Yan, who had been standing by without saying a word, suddenly widened his eyes.

This...this...this??

Can an ordinary person fight against a monster?

wrong!

Why is even the son of the Vice Minister of the Imperial Household Department going to kill the monster?

Shouldn't someone of such high status stay obediently in the central area of ​​Kyoto Port?

"It was stopped, so it was also discovered."

Yu Xiao calmly looked at her son, Shirogane Miyuki, her expression unchanged.

The calm lake of the heart was actually turbulent with great waves.

She never expected this.

The son she hadn't seen for many years looked remarkably like her ex-husband.

However, this resemblance is so incomplete.

"He's still far behind Takehiko."

The naive and innocent approach completely "amazed" Youxiao.

She felt an urge to pack her bags and leave immediately with her daughter.

He mentally assessed the various possibilities of escaping and the trouble he might suffer because of his son.

She was unusually lost in thought.

She was utterly exhausted, never expecting to come into this world to suffer.

Her children's naivety and immaturity exceeded her expectations, leaving her exhausted.

now.

The stupid things the son did were enough to threaten the lives of everyone in the family.

Even if she wanted to abandon or sever ties so as not to be implicated?

That's not something she can decide.

"...I'm so sorry, Mom."

"Actually, I'm not the only person I'm apologizing to, but there's no point in saying it now. I might as well think about how to escape."

"……get away?"

"Now that you have come into Lord Faith's sight, he has already completely identified you as a wicked servant with sinister intentions."

"I don't!"

“This isn’t up to me,” Youxiao said slowly.

The son, impulsively following the nobleman who served him to fight monsters after the deaths of his two friends.

This would be a capital offense in the eyes of any nobleman.

Whether other important figures know the reason or not is irrelevant.

In their view, their son not only failed to protect them, but also put the person being protected in a difficult position.

This is absolutely outrageous!

There will likely be appropriate punishment soon.

But no matter where you escape to, it could be a dead end...

"I'll go and explain the situation," Wu Yan said.

Youxiao glanced at her ex-husband calmly and said, still unhurriedly:

"Let's not even talk about whether you can talk to anyone. Even if you could, who would listen attentively?"

For some reason, my mind drifted to a place called "Nomura" that was quite far away.

It seems to be a place that is both troubled by many monsters and yet is a rare place of peace.

I wonder if it's still as I've heard it to be now.
