Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 319

Many of these creatures also have horns growing on their heads.

This is one of the most distinctive characteristics of a monster.

Like the Demon Blade Princess.

She became a demon through the magic sword.

Although his demonic power was strong, it was always out of control.

However, ever since she was taken in as a shikigami by Kyosuke Kousaka, Kyosuke Kousaka has been deliberately trying to train her.

She was hardly ever asked to kill.

Furthermore, by deliberately creating desires to replace the will to kill, one can barely maintain rationality.

At least it is unlikely that there will be a situation where demonic power goes berserk or demonic horns grow out of control.

Kyosuke Kosaka is not a fan of oni horns.

If it were something like animal ears, Kousaka Kyosuke could accept it.

—After I finish this job, I'll go find White Wolf.

Oh, I almost forgot, Shiro should have brought Shizuko and Chitanda back from the Water Department office later.

What she looks forward to most every day is dinner and a bath.

A big, fluffy tail always wags vigorously at those times.

Kyosuke Kousaka was a little disappointed that she was wearing such covered pants...

He was thinking calmly.

Kyosuke Kosaka arrived at a barbecue stall.

The dog-headed man shouted enthusiastically to other pedestrians on the street, trying his best to attract customers.

"Fresh and delicious meat skewers!"

"You'll absolutely love it after you try it!"

"Would you like one, sir?"

Suddenly, Kousaka Kyosuke walked up to the stall, and the kobold greeted him warmly.

The dog-headed man's appearance is generally unremarkable.

No wonder, it's just a thing with a human body and a dog's head.

A long nose, long teeth.

If you remove the dog's head, this dog-headed man looks about the same as a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties standing on the street.

Have you tried it yourself?

"I tried a piece, and it was absolutely delicious, sir!"

Seeing Kousaka Kyosuke's question, the kobold said even more happily.

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly frowned.

That hit the mark.

But it doesn't seem to match up?

I can't even use the memes I want anymore.

"I don't think it tastes good."

"what?"

The dog-headed man, who was about to excitedly introduce the meat skewers, was stunned.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't give him a chance to say anything more and punched the kobold in the face.

"Well--"

The kobold groaned and fell heavily to the ground.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at it.

The dog-headed man's nose was bleeding profusely, its bridge broken off.

The lively atmosphere instantly quieted down.

It was as if time had stood still.

All sorts of monsters stopped making a sound and looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with astonishment.

The eerie silence lasted for about four or five seconds.

The stagnant air seemed to explode from being stretched to its limit!

"He is human!" a shout rang out urgently.

"kill him!"

"Eat him!"

One by one, the monsters revealed their ferocity and became monstrous.

The monsters that were originally kind and cute have also transformed, becoming tall, ferocious and terrifying.

"Well……"

Kyosuke Kousaka pondered for a moment.

Cuteness is the key point.

Becoming unlovable all of a sudden comes at a price.

Just as he was thinking this, chains appeared out of thin air all around him.

The chains, emanating blue, luminous runes, were exceptionally dynamic.

Once they appeared, they sprang up like venomous snakes, tearing through the air and piercing into the bodies of the monsters.

"Run!"

"Quick, it's an Onmyoji!"

Seeing that things were not going well, the monster turned and ran away.

Without even raising his eyes, Kyosuke Kosaka continued to extend and track the target at an even faster speed.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The once bustling city center has become deathly silent.

Only the silent corpses of monsters lay on the ground in various poses, making no sound.

Branching rivers formed from blood scatter in all directions, or gather and condense into puddles.

The once bustling, human-filled place has been transformed into a permanent resting place.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt very sorry about this.

It was just a small test of how friendly the monsters were to humans, and it resulted in such a huge backlash?

He was also very sad.

"...You are Lord Kyosuke."

"Oh?"

Kyosuke Kosaka turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

The speaker was a woman with flaxen hair.

A simple indigo blue undershirt paired with beige trousers, with a red belt cinching the waist, adds a touch of vibrancy to the overall look.

The woman had a headscarf wrapped around her head and ribbons hanging from her cuffs, giving her a neat and capable appearance.

This made Kyosuke Kosaka subconsciously think that this was an employee of some inn or pub.

Of course, anyone who comes to this place is no ordinary person.

“I’ve heard that you have no ill will toward monsters,” the woman said again.

Kyosuke Kosaka scrutinized the woman and noticed a faint demonic aura emanating from her.

However, it was difficult to discern what kind of demonic energy it was.

He didn't try to pry too much; he just responded readily.

"Of course, I have never had any ill feelings towards monsters, nor any good feelings towards them."

"Then you..."

"Since you know my name, you should know what I do, right?"

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke slowly.

As he walked and talked, he arrived at the first stall he had seen before.

I looked down at a pot in front of the stall.
