Fujiwara Hiroyama, who happened to be passing by, immediately made a move, but unexpectedly, the enemy escaped.
"It's my fault for not being good enough and for not being skilled enough."
“The situation was chaotic at the time, so it’s normal that you were hesitant to act, Hongshan.”
Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and denied Hiroyama Fujiwara's statement.
It's incredibly tactless to admit that someone is being modest, regardless of whether they are being modest or not.
"Then leave this matter to me. Hongshan, you go ahead with your work. Let's get together another day."
“Alright then,” Fujiwara Hiroyama said with a smile.
Kyosuke Kosaka once led him to victory as his army commander.
Most of his men survived, and he, as their leader, was naturally praised.
Currently, he serves as the guardian Onmyoji protecting the son of the Taoist priest, Lai Tong.
His status was quite noble, and this was largely due to the efforts of Kyosuke Kousaka.
It's quite a coincidence that we met today.
Suddenly, Fujiwara Hiroyama, who was about to leave, saw a group of Outer Guards who had arrived late and frowned.
The Outer Guard Office and the Office for the Investigation of Illegal Activities had roughly the same responsibilities.
Sometimes even officials can't distinguish the specific situations.
However, he is still somewhat angry.
The three main streets of Sakyo were also the residences of many officials, many of whom belonged to the Fujiwara clan.
Furthermore, Fujiwara Hiroyama realized that the people inside the Outer Guard Office were mostly members of the Minamoto clan...
"Hmph!" A voice of dissatisfaction, made no attempt to hide, came from Fujiwara Hiroyama's mouth.
"I am really lucky to have met so many familiar faces today."
A hand slowly covered Fujiwara Hiroyama's shoulder.
Fujiwara Hiroyama was slightly surprised, but gradually suppressed his displeasure.
“Changlong is here now, just like when you attended my wedding banquet, Hiroyama,” Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.
Fujiwara Hiroyama immediately understood.
Following Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze, he saw the leader and couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't this perfect?"
"That's perfect, it's also efficient for relatives to work together."
“…Lord Kyosuke.” A lieutenant leading the Outer Guard hesitated before stepping forward.
In his early forties, he was roughly the same age as his father-in-law, Fujiwara Daichi.
He was actually one of his younger brothers.
It's unclear whether he's a younger brother from the modern world or a younger brother from the indigenous world.
"Ah."
Kyosuke Kosaka simply smiled politely and said nothing.
The saying goes, "A higher-ranking official can crush you."
The official rank of a seventh-rank official is not comparable to that of a fifth-rank official at all.
His excessive enthusiasm in formal settings only makes people uncomfortable.
"Then, Lord Kyosuke, let's drink another day."
"I'll come to see you in the next few days," Kousaka Kyosuke said.
Fujiwara Hiroyama smiled, nodded, and left.
Now that he knew the visitor was a relative of Kousaka Kyosuke, he stopped putting on a show of displeasure.
It would be awkward to contact them again, so it's better to leave now.
"Changlong, you work with my lieutenant to maintain order while I handle the situation."
"Yes."
Knowing that public opinion carried little weight, Fujiwara Masataka immediately responded.
Although it was inappropriate for the Outer Guard Office to obey the orders of the superior of the Bureau of Investigation and Punishment.
However, he was sent there by his superior to be reprimanded.
Therefore, I felt much more at ease when I met Kyosuke Kousaka this time.
"Kyosuke-sama is just as rumored—very protective of those around him..."
As he watched Kousaka Kyosuke leisurely leave, Fujiwara Masataka pondered as he worked.
It was a very good choice for his niece, Qianhua, to marry him.
It is estimated that his elder brother, Fujiwara Daichi, will soon be promoted from a junior sixth-rank general to a junior fifth-rank major general.
At least then we could talk to each other in the palace.
At the same time, the salary was increased dramatically from around 20 shi to at least 200 shi.
That should be enough for him, his brother, and several other cousins to attend social events.
Then, they would cultivate relationships to prepare for future promotions.
"Let's ask about the situation later."
Fujiwara Masataka thought to himself.
He originally didn't want to get involved in anything related to Kousaka Kyosuke.
But during this encounter, he discovered that Kyosuke Kosaka was indeed quite kind and honest in his dealings with people.
Therefore, his desire for power finally surfaced!
In this world, identity and status are extremely important.
"Come, put the monster's head in the box."
A voice suddenly sounded.
While still pondering, Fujiwara Masataka suddenly looked towards the source of the sound, his pupils shrinking instinctively.
What comes into view is,
The young man was using a knife to hold up a bloody, spherical object that was about 20 centimeters in diameter.
"……Yes!"
The lieutenant in the Prosecutor's Office answered hastily, his voice trembling.
He immediately remembered that Kousaka Kyosuke was an Onmyoji who had participated in the extermination of Mount Oe and even fought against the Demon King.
Therefore, it shouldn't be too surprising that monsters are brutally killed...
"Set up a bulletin board here and post an official notice that the monster has been eliminated."
"The reason why the monster came is because it has the ability to destroy barriers."
"I'll go track down other forms of this creature now and wipe it out completely..."
Kousaka Kyosuke said leisurely.
The truth, of course, is that it was just a monster that accidentally stumbled through a barrier full of loopholes.
Can I talk about the barrier?
It's not allowed for the time being, to avoid causing public panic.
Anyway, the important people definitely know.
It's better to pretend you don't know anything, because there's really no way to solve it.
Fujiwara Tomoyuki, who had come with Kousaka Kyosuke, quickly began to record Kousaka Kyosuke's words.
We'll set up a notice board and publish official documents soon.
"It would be really great if Hiromi could keep up with a man like that..."
Such a bloody scene should be a warning to the people in the government office, or to others.
With such courage and decisiveness in the face of adversity, protecting his daughter will certainly not be a problem.
I just don't know how to find another opportunity to drink...
noon.
The already gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds, as if it were about to rain at any moment.
In the government office, Kyosuke Kosaka once again received a traditional waka love letter.
After some deliberation, he finally decided to visit Fujiwara Daichi's residence.
They've been married for a few days, after all.
