Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

As long as I can help relieve her pressure, that's fine!

“Nino, Miku.” May’s eyes widened.

Nino and Miku, who were called upon, suppressed their awkwardness and answered in unison.

Yukino looked at the two of them with suspicion and uncertainty.

He vaguely recalled the time when the two of them lived in Fujiwara Kaori's residence, and immediately realized something was amiss.

"Then I..."

Kirisu Mafuyu couldn't help but said.

A bright face lit up with hope, looking like an innocent and carefree child.

Fujiwara Kaori finally laughed out of anger.

"I wonder who was the one hugging Kyosuke-sama the most and shouting with joy. I dare say that Mafuyu, you are always filled with happiness inside!"

"Lady Xiangzi, please stop! My mistake—"

Feeling everyone staring at her, Kirisu Mafuyu knelt down, covered her head with her hands, and hurriedly apologized.

Fujiwara Kaori tried to calm her breathing.

"Alright, proceed as usual."

Without saying anything more, Fujiwara Kaori instructed the maids to continue their previous schedule.

For her, all she can do now is make her husband feel more at ease after a busy day at work.

Ukyo, seven avenues.

After giving the recruits a brief training session on teamwork, Kyosuke Kosaka dismissed them.

The new recruits came from hereditary official families and were quite arrogant, making it difficult for him to mold them.

He has temporarily given up on the idea of ​​continuing to train him.

After all, the monsters and demons of Mount Ooe are not easily defeated by these people.

Overall, a group of people is more useful than ordinary firemen; at least they don't seem to be prone to slacking off.

For Kyosuke Kousaka, that was enough.

If all else fails, he will kill more during the extermination, which will be enough to keep the Fujiwara clan's power intact.

Think as you go.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had somehow ended up standing on a high place, was gazing into the distance with a casual air.

A seven-story tower, whose outline could be vaguely seen, came into view.

The seven-story pagoda has deep eaves, with cloud-shaped brackets under the eaves, which are exquisite and intricate, making the whole structure appear tall and majestic.

It is the "Tower of Rejuvenation".

The building was regarded by the Genji as a symbol of revival and glory, and is said to have been dedicated to a deity.

Kyosuke Kosaka gazed peacefully at the Tower of Reconstruction for a long time.

In his eyes, an invisible resentment shimmered with the rust of scarlet blood, swirling and dancing in the air like a ghostly claw in a bizarre pattern.

It gives people an inexplicable and eerie feeling.

That was the accumulated resentment of countless witches over countless years.

In the storyline of Onmyoji.

The Genji Onmyoji built an altar at the border between the human world and the Hazama, offering priestesses as sacrifices to exchange power with the great serpent.

Moreover, the contract also included ensuring Kyoto's long-term stability, just as its name suggests—"Heian-kyo".

Kyosuke Kosaka declined to comment on the matter.

He would never have cared if this false peace hadn't been shattered.

If you're going to give up, wouldn't it be better to just think, "There's no protagonist like Abe no Seimei"?

But thinking about it carefully, if a real problem arises, the possibility that someone as outstanding as me would be sent there by Fujiwara no Michinaga is too high!

As for pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, that's completely impossible.

Now that they've already shown their talent, continuing to play dumb would truly make them fools.

"Kyosuke?"

A calm voice came from behind Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly turned around and immediately saw two men and one woman.

The man in the lead had long, flowing silver hair with dyed bangs, and wore a magnificent and solemn hunting robe with the gold-stamped crest of the Sasa Rinchen family printed in the middle.

He was Minamoto no Yorimitsu, whom Kousaka Kyosuke knew.

The man and woman standing on either side of Minamoto no Yorimitsu stood calmly, each carrying a sharp blade.

"It's Lord Raikou," Kousaka Kyosuke greeted with a smile.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was the Left Horse Commander, holding the official rank of Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade.

The department's function was to oversee the management of ranches in various locations and to use horses for military and ceremonial purposes.

Therefore, I have considerable influence in military affairs.

Importantly, his official rank was higher than that of Kousaka Kyosuke, who held the rank of Junior Fifth Rank, Senior Inspector of Non-Violation.

Therefore, Kousaka Kyosuke naturally used an honorific title when addressing people by their names.

"What are you looking at?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu also smiled.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I was looking at the scenery, and after a while, I felt like I could hear someone singing."

"Hehe, you really have a refined taste."

"you flatter me."

"This isn't a compliment. Would you mind if I tested your skills?"

With a hearty laugh, Minamoto no Yorimitsu pointed a seemingly slow but actually swift hand at Kousaka Kyosuke's body.

Kousaka Kyosuke raised his hand.

His slender fingers had just the right amount of space to block the attack that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was about to launch.

"Indeed, he has also achieved considerable success in martial arts."

"you flatter me."

Kyosuke Kosaka repeated what he had said before.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu laughed heartily: "In another half month, let's go together and exterminate all the evil spirits!"

The man and woman behind him both had expressions of fervent admiration on their faces.

Kyosuke Kosaka frowned, realizing he'd seen the woman's smile somewhere before.

Oh, he looks a lot like Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Because they know when to show what expression, they show that expression on their face.

It's just too stiff.

"What? You've taken a fancy to the weapon that inherits the will of my Genji clan?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu had a very keen intuition, or rather, he never let his guard down.

It gives one a subtle feeling that one is always ready to defend against a sneak attack and counterattack.

Kyosuke Kosaka retorted, "You're giving me a ride?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu simply smiled knowingly: "If you can control yourself, consider it an apology for what happened earlier."

The woman that Kousaka Kyosuke saw was named Yoto Hime.

She is a failure, an imitation.

An ambitious elder of a prominent family attempted to imitate the Onikiri created by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, using the demon sword as a catalyst to infuse the human body with the power of demons and gods, trying to enable humans to obtain absolute power that surpasses that of demons and gods!

Unfortunately, it had no effect.

Instead, it created a failed product that required a strong contract to control.

A failed product is not a complete failure.

He nearly lost control, but gained the power to approach his perfect creation—Onikiri.

This did indeed surprise Minamoto no Yorimitsu somewhat.

Now that there are Onmyoji with the ability to gain his approval who need him, Minamoto no Yorimitsu doesn't mind sending them.

As long as it can be controlled.

"I'll give it a try," said Kousaka Kyosuke, walking towards the Demon Blade Princess.
