Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1188

This includes his brother-in-law, Yasunori Kamo, and Minamoto no Yorihei, who is also somewhat related to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them.

Currently, these two are the most famous in the Onmyoji community.

Therefore, they worked very hard after Minamoto no Yorimitsu left Kyoto.

Kyosuke Kosaka dared not be too leisurely for this very reason, otherwise it would be too inappropriate.

"The Onmyoji from the Yorozuya in the suburbs are in charge of the suburbs, the Onmyoji from the three major powers in Kyoto are in charge of the city, and I'm in charge of..."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought about it carefully.

I've realized there's actually very little I can do.

It seems that all we can do is wait for the return of Seimei, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and others so that we can make the next steps in our planning.

"Kyosuke, aren't we going to the dormitory first?"

"I want to go to the underworld to see that box monster first. We owe her a lot for what happened in Sai no Kawara."

Kousaka Kyosuke said.

I had promised to help Jumpy Sister find her two brothers, which meant I had to take a risk, and then the girl in the box was a great help.

Use a doll to help him search in Sai no Kawara.

Otherwise, who knows what might happen to them?

Kyosuke Kousaka must remember this kindness.

"Ah! Let me go!"

"I really didn't do anything wrong!"

A child, about the same height as Kagura's chest, clutched his head and wailed.

The child weaved through the alley, running towards the location of Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked around and saw that no one was chasing the child. He wondered what the child was afraid of.

"I'll ask."

Kagura said a few words and walked towards the brown-haired child wearing a fox mask.

To be precise, it should be called a monster.

It's unclear whether it's a man or a woman.

The conclusion that "someone so cute must be a boy" is quite incorrect in this world with monsters and gods.

319. The news of the death of a pragmatist under the ceiling/Tenjo-shit.

"Hello……"

"Please don't hit me, I won't hurt anyone!"

As soon as Kagura stepped forward, the brown-haired youkai who had run over stopped and begged for mercy.

However, the tea-haired monster seemed to have calmed down a bit and was already looking back, seemingly searching for a way to escape.

Kagura, who also sensed something amiss, did not step forward but instead slowly introduced herself.

"I am Kagura, the wife of the Onmyoji Kyosuke."

"—?!"

Kyosuke Kousaka, who was observing the situation, was stunned.

When did I become a brand?

"Could it be that the person behind you is Lord Kyosuke?"

The terrified expression on the tea-haired monster's face vanished instantly.

The expression of admiration on that little face increased at a visible rate!

"Yes, I am Kyosuke, an Onmyoji who manages public order in Kyoto. What kind of trouble have you encountered? If you don't mind, you can tell me about it?"

Seeing that the tea-haired monster had calmed down, Kousaka Kyosuke took the opportunity to ask what was going on.

As an Onmyoji living in Kyoto.

Regularly communicating with the yokai (spirits/monsters) in Kyoto is also something that needs to be done.

Since the strongest protective barrier for Kyoto has been breached, yokai (supernatural beings) have become quite common in Kyoto.

Since almost all the evil monsters that harm people, namely demons, have been blocked by the current barrier.

In addition, the internal protection is more stringent than before.

Yokai are eliminated as soon as they cause trouble, so any yokai that manage to enter Kyoto through a loophole in the barrier, especially the smart ones, are quite sensible.

At the very least, they wouldn't commit murders or harass noble families.

Therefore, they were able to get along harmoniously with the residents of Kyoto.

What can be done about the disharmony?

In short, the only way to maintain peace for now is through the "human-demon coexistence" method that Seimei once liked.

"...I was kicked out because I was living on someone else's roof without permission."

The tea-haired demon hesitated for a moment, but still told the story.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Kyosuke Kousaka uneasily.

Kyosuke Kousaka was also speechless. "It's a rather weak little monster."

This type of monster is one of the least feared by the people of Kyoto.

Because this is something that any normal adult could easily drive away.

Even if things don't go well, it's still easy to hold out for a while and then call on the firemen and guards who patrol around the area 24/7 to come and help.

Ironically, it is precisely because of the large number of small monsters like the one in front of us that people are less afraid than before.

After all, what people fear is the unknown.

When this unknown is understood and recognized, then fear will no longer arise so easily.

"Although I sympathize with your situation, what you did is not something to be encouraged, and you shouldn't have done it at all."

"I'm sorry, I'll go to the Prosecutor's Office to plead guilty now..."

"No need for that, just don't do it again. But I'm a little curious, is it necessary for you to live on the roof?"

"...To be precise, it should be 'under the roof.' My name is 'Tenjou-shita,' a yokai born under the roof, which is essential for my existence."

The tea-haired monster explained in a low voice.

Patio.

It can also be a synonym for roof or ceiling.

Kyosuke Kousaka was aware of this basic common sense.

But his emotions at this moment were rather complicated.

It's under the courtyard.

Isn't this the R-rank yokai from Onmyoji?

Kyosuke Kosaka's understanding of this monster was only so-so.

There are plenty of rare shikigami in the game, so why would we need one with such a low rarity?

While rarity doesn't mean much, it's a fact that rarer shikigami are generally more useful.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka really didn't know whether the monster in front of him was a boy or a girl.

"Does it survive by absorbing the life force of the inhabitants?"

"No, not absorb—but rather, rather... pick up, even the life force that one person inadvertently reveals is enough for me to survive."

The courtyard door responded hastily.

She's not some kind of shady monster.

She wouldn't hurt anyone!

"Okay, I understand. May I ask about your gender if I may? If it is offensive, please do not answer."

Kyosuke Kosaka then asked Tenjo-shita in a slightly softer tone.

Since they're monsters from a game, let's collect a few.

Even if it's a boy, it's fine.

It's really pitiful that they are so young and weak; they need to be helped.

However, the gender must be identified first to facilitate placement.

"The boys will be placed in the manor's official quarters, and the girls will be placed in the sleeping quarters. They might have a special purpose there."
