Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

the other side.

Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura to the government office for a quick review of the official documents, and then headed to the outskirts of town in less than fifteen minutes.

There are no longer patrols inside Kyoto.

Upon discovering that there were more Onmyoji on the streets today than the day before, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that going there would be superfluous and would also be seen as disrespectful.

As he walked and pondered, Kyosuke Kosaka led Kagura to the shrine of the god Oitsuki.

Then, quite surprisingly, it was discovered that about 80% of the women and children who had stayed at the shrine had moved to a village not far from the shrine.

"Everyone is living and working in peace and contentment now..."

Kagura looked deeply moved.

She was a member of the village's development team, and seeing everyone living peacefully in the village now, she naturally felt that her previous efforts had been fully recognized.

"The future will be better for men, and I just hope they can restrain themselves."

Kousaka Kyosuke said leisurely.

He wasn't sure if his help would be useful.

Because there will always be restless women who break the rules, and then men will move in one by one, which will turn this so-called "village of women and children" into a normal village.

If officials demanding taxes come, then you can't blame anyone else.

Honestly.

Without paying taxes, these ordinary people can truly live a peaceful and stable life.

Once taxes are paid, it'll probably be back to the old ways.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to care.

After briefly surveying the village, Kyosuke Kosaka quietly entered the shrine of the god Oitsuki to visit Oitsuki.

Then, I was stunned.

In the past, the Moon Goddess's bright silver hair, simply secured with a red rope, was styled like a European aristocratic's drill-shaped perm, spiraling and curling backwards.

Some hair also appeared on the front half of the limbs.

"What's wrong with you?" In the cubicle, Kousaka Kyosuke placed his hand on Tsuki no Kami without saying a word to examine her.

The Moon Chaser was somewhat troubled: "For some reason, I can't control my demonic power these past two days..."

Aohime, standing beside her, asked with envy, "If I had hair like that, would Kyosuke like me?"

With his other free hand cleaved into a knife shape, Kousaka Kyosuke chopped off Aohime's head.

"Snakes shouldn't grow hair indiscriminately; that's not a property you can control."

That's really a bold idea!

Aohime, letting out a cheerful "Oh!", covered her head sweetly and said, "Where's that fluffy tail?"

Kagura finally couldn't help but say, "Aohime, don't you think it's strange for a snake to have a hairy tail?"

Qingji tilted her head and thought for a moment, her face showing a thoughtful expression.

Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to knock Aohime's head a few more times to see what kind of strange thought process was hidden inside.

Of course, the physical condition of the Moon Chaser is more important.

After investigating for quite some time, Kousaka Kyosuke concluded: "It's a problem with the power of faith. I'll take you to find the God of Marriage."

"No, I have to protect everyone..."

The Moon God hurriedly refused.

Kyosuke Kosaka was speechless: "You can't protect them all day long, can you? Kagura, you stay here and watch over things. I'm going to the Water Department with Tsuki-no-Kami, um, and Ao-hime."

Kagura agreed without hesitation: "Okay, leave this to me."

"Hey……"

Seeing that Kagura agreed so readily, the Moon God felt a little embarrassed to refuse outright.

Qingji was very happy.

Now I can go out and play with Kyosuke Kousaka again!

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Kagura," Kousaka Kyosuke said apologetically.

Kagura nodded: "Let's set off quickly, the matter of chasing the moon goddess is important."

Her significance lies in being able to help Kyosuke Kousaka.

At that moment, when Kyosuke Kosaka asked her for a favor, she was only happy and had no complaints whatsoever.

"Alright, let's go."

After saying that, Kousaka Kyosuke embraced Tsukuyomi with one hand and Aohime with the other, and quickly moved towards the Arakawa area.

He had no intention of bringing the God of Fate with him. After all, he was asking for help, so he couldn't act all high and mighty.

Even if the god of marriage is very down-to-earth, Kyosuke Kousaka will still pay attention to etiquette.

Kagura, who remained at the shrine, went to the main hall of the shrine to greet Hayasaka Ai and Shirogane Kei, and began to stand guard, keeping an eye on the situation at the shrine.

It wasn't long before they discovered that some babies with congenital deficiencies needed spiritual energy to nourish them, so they naturally provided assistance.

"These are probably what Zhuiyue is worried about..."

Kagura helped while pondering.

The girl standing next to Kagura, Hoshino Ai, felt a strange sense of unease.

She was worried because of her daughter, and inexplicably because... she sensed a special aura emanating from this girl named Kagura.

Just like Qing Ji.

"Miss Kagura's husband is also Lord Kyosuke. Is she the same as Aohime...? What exactly is love?" Hoshino Ai really wanted to know.

230. The Moon Goddess Becomes a God / Kasumigaoka and Aohime / Celebration

Shuibusi Manor.

They arrived at their destination with the Moon Chaser and Qing Ji.

Kyosuke Kousaka quickly found the Goddess of Marriage, who was still promoting Kasumigaoka.

"Ah! Why is your faith so strong? I've been working so hard too!"

Before she could even speak, Enmusubi began complaining to Tsuki.

The Moon Chaser looked embarrassed: "I'm not quite sure either..."

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself, "As long as there is enough food, it's not difficult to support a group of people who believe in us."

Frankly speaking, this is essentially using real money to buy faith. Anyone with common sense would know to contribute the power of faith.

If you don't do that, then don't expect any divine protection when something bad happens in the future.

By the way.

Compared to the Moon God who is unwilling to fuss, Kousaka Kyosuke is very meticulous.

He secretly kept a little notebook of each and every one of them, carefully remembering those who provided the Moon Chaser with a meager amount of faith.

They won't give you any benefits in the future.

There's a saying that goes something like this?

Everyone else did it, but you didn't; your boss will definitely remember that.

This principle applies to both the workplace and life.

"Don't say anything yet, Lord Enmusubi, please help me check on Tsuki's condition."

Although he was muttering to himself, Kousaka Kyosuke didn't say the truth out loud.

After all, the truth is hard to hear.

"Well, condensing a divine spark is enough. Originally, the power of faith was meant to maintain the operation of divine power. However, the demonic power and the power of faith within Zhuiyue are in constant conflict, so to condense a divine spark and become a god, the demonic power must be transformed into divine power one by one through the medium of the power of faith..."

The God of Fate explains the problem in great detail.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked enlightened, thinking to himself, "Just as I expected!"

"Will becoming a god mean I'll always look the same as I do now?" But the Moon Chaser was worried about another question.

She has quite a lot of body hair, like this...

The God of Fate readily denied it.

"You're overthinking it! When the power of faith in a deity is insufficient, one has to reduce the consumption of divine power by changing their appearance and posture. How could they stay the same forever?"

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, looking at the Goddess of Fate with a strange expression.

Even the hill next door had the same expression.

"Hey, hey! Are you two doing this on purpose?!"

The spirit of the marriage instantly realized that she was being looked at with disdain and was very indignant.
