Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Haven't we been helping all along?"

"Yes."

Yaobikuni laughed again.

Kagura said, "Let's all do our best!"

"Let's cheer each other on!" Yaobikuni was unusually cheerful.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled: "Come on."

Time flies.

At night, Kyosuke Kosaka delivered all the things the monsters wanted to take to the front lines in Kyoto.

As expected, he discovered that a large open space had been left on the front lines in Kyoto, enough for the yokai to live in—Minamoto no Yorimitsu had long planned to form a deep alliance with the yokai.

"Incredible..."

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but sigh.

Kagura said, "I feel the same way. It's amazing that humans and yokai are now so closely connected."

Does this description sound a bit odd?

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to complain.

Unexpectedly, Minamoto no Hiromasa, who came to greet them, also happily echoed this sentiment.

"Yes! Now we need to unite all forces that can be united. Not all monsters are bad; just like humans, there are good and bad ones. We must never treat all monsters as evil spirits like we did before..."

"That's right!"

Others echoed this sentiment.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at the newcomer, Shiro, who usually liked to bicker with Minamoto no Hiromasa. He noticed that Seimei was behind Shiro, so he asked a question.

"Seimei, what are your thoughts at this moment?"

"A world where humans and demons coexist will come sooner or later." Seimei revealed a gentle smile.

When Kousaka Kyosuke heard this, he thought of the ending of "Onmyoji," which was indeed the case back then. But is it really possible to actually do it?

Even if the ending is exactly as he knows, it will be absolutely useless.

Ultimately, the temporary coexistence of humans and ghosts does not mean that it will continue like this forever.

Differences in skin color and language among humans can cause disputes, let alone differences in species. Will things just revert to the way they were before?

"I believe what you say."

After thinking for a while, Kyosuke Kousaka finally agreed.

He thought to himself, so what if the coexistence of humans and ghosts is only temporary? How many things in this world last forever? Of course, he wanted to strive for this, at least while he was alive. Seimei did, and so did he…

469. The Power of Amaterasu / Casual Talk / Further Action

Day 504 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was still living on the front lines in Kyoto, started helping out early in the morning.

The people he helped were monsters.

The monsters only moved in yesterday, and there's a lot to deal with.

Moreover, there are some things that only he can handle—for example, monsters that are showing signs of corruption.

Naturally, no one wanted to abandon these monsters.

Like Kuro Seimei.

He still had Kousaka Kyosuke bring over those corrupted monsters that had been frozen almost to death by the Yuki-onna.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu had strong opinions about this, but unfortunately, it had no effect.

After all, Onikiri, who looked like a servant but was actually the supervisor, was standing next to Kuro Seimei at the time.

In the end, Minamoto no Yorimitsu had no choice but to give up.

Kyosuke Kosaka, however, felt that there were quite a few things involved.

Fortunately, he wasn't a gossipy person.

"Lord Kyosuke, are you alright? You've already rid many demons of the intractable miasma..."

Xiao Bai, who had also come to help appease the other monsters, inquired with concern.

Kyosuke Kousaka flashed the flames in his hand: "We have to thank Lady Amaterasu for this; her power happens to be a counter to this."

Of course, this is also related to Kousaka Kyosuke's ability to quickly master the power of Amaterasu.

The power that Amaterasu gave to Kyosuke Kousaka was almost identical to the insights into lightning that Susanoo gave him, except that it came with some special powers.

In addition, Kousaka Kyosuke was skilled in using fire, which allowed him to burn away the filth inside the monster's body in an extremely ingenious and effortless way.

"With further refinement, the flames could possess the power of life..."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought in his mind.

What he was thinking was not what Amaterasu had taught him, but rather what he perceived through his own senses.

Based on his analysis of the plot of "Onmyoji", he speculated that this was related to Amaterasu's control of the "power of creation".

As the supreme god-king of Takamagahara, Amaterasu's power is naturally unparalleled and belongs to the very top tier.

Correspondingly, belonging to the same level are "Power of Destruction" and "Power of Reincarnation".

As for the "power of destruction"... Kyosuke Kousaka already possesses a bit of it.

The lightning controlled by Susanoo is essentially this power, something Kousaka Kyosuke had already realized before.

"We really have to thank Lady Amaterasu. Kyosuke is also remarkable for being able to master Lady Amaterasu's power so quickly."

"you flatter me."

Putting his thoughts aside for the moment, Kyosuke Kosaka was quite surprised by Shiro's insight in this regard.

Considering that this monster had lived for quite some time, he wasn't too surprised.

"Since Lord Kyosuke isn't having any trouble at all, shall I send over some more yokai that are about to go out of control?"

"Sure, but you have to be careful. If you call too many at once, something might happen."

"Don't worry, Kyosuke-sama, I have experience in this area!"

"...Hearing your guarantee made me a little uneasy. Why don't you go and take a look with Yaobikuni?"

"Mr. Kyosuke is very good at ordering people around."

"Anyway, you're not without things to do right now."

Kyosuke Kosaka said to Yaobikuni, who was standing next to him and seemed to be watching.

Yaobikuni is indeed living a very leisurely life nowadays.

Because all the evil gods were driven into the Six Paths Gate by Susanoo, and the entrance was sealed off, the front line in Kyoto was not under much pressure.

These days, Yaobikuni, who used to be constantly divining the outside world for everyone, has naturally had some free time.

"So heartless."

Despite saying that, Yaobikuni still stood up with a smile.

Xiaobai said helplessly, "Lord Kyosuke, Lady Yaobikuni, you have far too little faith in my abilities."

"I just felt a little uneasy when I saw how confident you were. Besides, you know that if something happens at this time, it will put both humans and yokai in a difficult position."

"Then how about... we stick to the way we did before?"

Upon hearing the consequences mentioned by Kyosuke Kosaka, Shiro immediately felt uneasy.

Kyosuke Kousaka rolled his eyes: "Hurry up, I don't mind not taking a break, but some monsters might not be able to wait, plus I might have to take care of something at any time."

Hesitation makes one seem even more unreliable.

This fox, I just praised it in my heart, and now it's like this?

"Hello, Shiro, have some confidence." Kagura bent down and patted Shiro's head to encourage him.

Little White wagged its two tails: "It used to have that feeling, but after Kyosuke-sama said that, it disappeared."

"Hmm... I can now use my power on my mouth?"

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his head and pondered.

He used to dream of having his words become law, but as a result, he became prone to finding fault and was often called mean-spirited.

It's only here that things are gradually improving. After all, if you're not careful about what you say to the people you're interacting with, it can really be a bad thing.

“It was Kyosuke who was being harsh,” Yaobikuni said with a smile, speaking so frankly.

Kyosuke Kosaka hadn't expected Yaobikuni to actually say what he was thinking, so he replied:

"I'm too close to Xiaobai, so I didn't really pay much attention to this kind of thing. If Xiaobai feels hurt, I can apologize."

"No way!" Shiro immediately jumped up. "What Kyosuke-sama said just now didn't hurt me at all. Compared to what Hiromasa-sama said, it was nothing, just like a drizzle!"
