Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 277

"It must be that a capable Onmyoji has arrived."

Someone should say something.

As soon as he spoke, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone turned to look at him.

They might smile obsequiously, or look at each other with solemnity.

Clearly, everyone held this person in high esteem.

The young man, wearing a black hat and a dusty-colored official robe, spoke slowly under the gaze of the crowd:

"I should get to know him."

After speaking, a warm smile appeared on the handsome face of the young Fujiwara Yukinari.

She seemed to possess an innate charm and elegance that immediately captivated many men and women.

Countless people stopped worrying about things outside.

They all eagerly flattered Fujiwara Yukinari, the central figure at the banquet.

Those in the know already know that Fujiwara Yukinari will become a councilor in a year or two.

The term "counselor" refers to an official with four or more ranks.

They still belong to the upper echelons, ranking among the dukes and ministers!

Who wouldn't fawn over someone?

Day 183 of crossing

After taking a bath, Kyosuke Kousaka, who hadn't even continued the party, spent the entire night working.

He was still manipulating magic at that moment.

Crimson talisman birds, imbued with purifying power, continued to flit through the air.

It was particularly noticeable because the weather was still gloomy today.

Compared to those who quietly exorcise demons, Kyosuke Kousaka is very "flashy".

In fact, Kyosuke Kousaka did it on purpose.

Although this is too arrogant.

It is indeed the best way to make people see your achievements immediately.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't think there was any benefit in working quietly behind the scenes.

Since it's within the system.

It's better to be high-profile when it's appropriate.

You won't lose money this way.

"Lord Kyosuke, I have already notified the others to go to the area below the four main roads."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Seeing Su Chang flying happily towards him, Kousaka Kyosuke quickly steadied himself.

Control the gun.

Despite her less-than-perfect disguise, Su Chang's appearance was still no different from her usual self.

At least that's how Kyosuke Kousaka sees it.

"Um, Kyosuke-sama, are you alright?"

"Not bad, let's take care of the more conspicuous vengeful spirits in the sky first."

"How about we find a more secluded spot?"

"Need not!"

"Then let me know when you need it."

Su Chang gave Kousaka Kyosuke a strange look.

She was observing whether Kyosuke Kousaka needed help.

If needed, she, as his wife, would certainly be duty-bound to do so.

Sometimes you just have to be a little less meticulous.

"I understand, but it's definitely not necessary."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

Although the pair of lively rabbits in front of Su Chang had been put away.

But the gaze emanating from those lively, brown eyes seemed to possess an invisible charm.

If you deliberately try to be more alluring.

That gaze would truly materialize into a pair of soft, tangible little hands...

It seems I can't keep thinking about it.

Chenshi.

Dark, inky clouds rolled in, and the sky remained gloomy.

Kyosuke Kousaka sensed the atmosphere in the air and felt something.

He casually tossed down a hundred spirit talismans.

Su Chang, who was quietly guarding the side, remained silent.

After a long while, Kyosuke Kosaka finally spoke to explain.

"Let the spirit of the talisman move the corpses, otherwise the corpses will generate foul air and cause another epidemic."

"Lord Kyosuke is truly meticulous!"

"Give me another compliment?"

"Kyosuke-sama is so handsome! So amazing! He can do everything..."

Su Chang began to speak with great interest.

Kyosuke Kousaka listened with a smile, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

He does a job similar to bricklaying, but he has a lovely wife by his side.

I don't actually get tired that much.

Noon.

Having finally eliminated almost all the visible evil spirits, Kyosuke Kousaka began to rearrange things.

He stationed firemen and guards throughout the noble districts.

Most of these people are no match for monsters, and they can't even deal with temporarily enhanced vengeful spirits.

But they were all strong and robust, giving people a great sense of security.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought the nobles would like it.

Then they sent Yin-Yang Masters to guard a point at intervals.

After that, Kyosuke Kosaka began heading south of Shijo-saiji.

That area is a disaster zone.

Because there aren't many Onmyoji stationed there.

The further south you go, the closer you get to the city gate, Rashomon, and the weaker the protective forces become.

There were almost no nobles.

Kyosuke Kosaka plans to cultivate goodwill among the nobles of five or six major roads.

Oh, by the way.

The area with seven, eight, or nine main roads has already been cleared by some of the most capable people.

The cleanup will proceed from the main road, Zhuque Avenue, outwards to both the east and west.

That's because quite a few nobles also reside near Suzaku Avenue...

The main purpose of this operation was to reduce the number of noble deaths.

It wasn't that the other common people didn't protect them either.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to concentrate protective forces on them.

Unless you live in an aristocratic area.

"Lord Kyosuke, I sense the murderous intent of the Demon Blade Princess." Suddenly, Su Chang spoke up.

"It seems we've encountered a formidable opponent, but there's no need to worry too much."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.
