Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Then we've come here with nothing to do..." Kinnara muttered to himself.

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly sat down, gesturing for others to sit as well, and spoke as he did so:

“That’s not how it is. You forgot what Su Chang just said: I’m going to the Underworld later to ask Lord Yama for his opinion.”

"Huh? What's wrong?" Qingji asked curiously.

The other shore flower chuckled: "Let's talk while we drink tea. This is new tea, it should be quite good, it's sweet."

"...It feels as red as blood."

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the tea that had been placed in front of him and couldn't help but complain.

Normally, tea is the same color as regular black tea, but today's tea is the color of blood. After gulping it down, Kyosuke Kousaka's face also turned red.

"It's so sweet!" Kinnara commented after taking a sip.

Qingji also tasted it, and her face darkened: "What kind of tea is this?"

"Don't you like sweets? Then I'll make you bitter tea next time." The red spider lily was very considerate and said she would pay attention next time.

As a result, Qing Ji became even more annoyed, and Kousaka Kyosuke, seeing this, quickly explained what had happened.

"Just now, Su Chang was relaying a message from the Han family of Tang, the content of which was..."

"..."

The red spider lily listens quietly.

Soon, she guessed that the Han family spirits who came from Tang were trying to get a chance to reincarnate in Japan.

They're really working incredibly hard.

At this moment, Bi'anhua suddenly became curious about what the Han family had done in the Tang Kingdom that made them so desperate.

It seems they've done something truly remarkable.

"Now that I've finished my tea, I'll go run an errand to the underworld," Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile as he stood up.

Kinnara noticed something amiss: "Kyosuke, aren't you planning to come with us?"

"I'll be right back, it shouldn't be more than fifteen minutes. As for my safety, you don't need to worry too much. The Other Shore Flower also has spies over there, right?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at the spider lily.

The other shore flower rested her chin on her hand, looking languid: "Since I've come to the underworld, I'll be a messenger."

Kyosuke Kosaka tried hard not to look at the table in front of the spider lily.

Abundant fruit, if too tempting, is sin.

Kyosuke Kosaka began to worry about the spider lily; one shouldn't be so easily tainted by evil.

"Well--"

Princess Goldfish, who had initially intended to say something, gradually became suspicious, and her gaze towards Kyosuke Kousaka changed.

For some reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed.

"Kyosuke, why do you look so serious now?" Kinnara asked.

"I just had some thoughts on my mind. Anyway, I'll be back soon. You guys wait for my message."

Kousaka Kyosuke's serious expression remained unchanged as he turned and left after finishing his sentence.

The spider lily chuckled softly. Aohime glared at the spider lily with displeasure, then reluctantly bid farewell to Kousaka Kyosuke. Kagura, Kinara, and Kingyo-hime also stood up to say goodbye to Kousaka Kyosuke…

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, feeling that the spider lily was truly a little devil.

Other partners are more obedient, and even virtuous and gentle.

"It seems that the underworld will still need the help of the Red Spider Lily to turn the tide."

Upon unexpectedly seeing many monster corpses, Kyosuke Kousaka put aside his romantic feelings and began to ponder the current situation.

Let's examine this objectively from what he sees.

Kyosuke Kosaka discovers that most of the underworld, including the netherworld, has been eroded and polluted, the most important of which is the Sanzu River that guides the dead into reincarnation.

The Sanzu River has a deep connection with the red spider lily.

According to Kyosuke Kosaka, he regarded the spider lily as an incarnation of the River Styx, though not a real incarnation, but merely a figurative metaphor.

At the very least, Kyosuke Kosaka was able to see that the Spider Lily was wielding its power with ease in the Sanzu River, and even the red flowers it controlled were becoming stronger in the Sanzu River.

However, at this time, the Sanzu River is corrupted by evil, and even the spider lilies would likely be greatly affected if they were in it.

"there……"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at a certain spot with a slightly surprised expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

In view, a section of the Sanzu River was ablaze with red, forming the "Path of Fire" composed of crimson flowers, where many demons rested.

"Kyosuke——"

A familiar voice called out from quite a distance.

Following the sound, Kyosuke Kousaka immediately spotted the figure of the Black Reaper.

"It's Kuro Mujou." With a thought, Kousaka Kyosuke appeared in front of Kuro Mujou as if by teleportation.

The black-clad ghost, standing amidst another sea of ​​red flowers, laughed heartily: "It really is you, Kyosuke! You didn't come here to help, did you?"

"I don't know if this counts as helping, but I'm here to talk to Lord Enma about something."

"What's the matter? Then you'll have to go to a place like an abyss to find her. She's in that area right now, and I don't even know if she's still alive..."

Gui Shi Hei replied with a smile, and unlike before, he didn't address Yama as "old woman" so rudely.

That's true. They all seem to be in mortal danger, so even the most heartless ghost messenger like Gui Shi Hei would definitely have some reservations.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "I'll go take a look."

"Then I won't try to persuade you anymore. After all, you're a man who can fight Orochi. Haha, you're amazing. I never imagined you were so powerful."

The Black Demon King surprisingly praised Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka said somewhat embarrassedly, "No, you flatter me. Orochi almost killed me that day, but I survived because he likes to play and torture people."

In fact, if Orochi, having regained all its power, really decided to kill him, he would have no choice but to obediently offer himself up for death.

Fortunately, Orochi is the kind of villain who is relatively easy to deal with.

As far as Yamata no Orochi was concerned, the deaths of Kousaka Kyosuke and the others were only a matter of time, and there was no need to pay too much attention to or target them, otherwise it would be a loss of divine dignity for Yamata no Orochi.

Yes, Kyosuke Kousaka quite likes that.

This arrogant villain is the key reason why they have time to strive for victory.

"Still so humble..."

"Okay, stop praising me, I'm going to go take a look."

Kyosuke Kousaka smiled, bid farewell to Kuro Mujou, and then followed Enma's aura to keep track of him.

When he discovered that the location was an unknown dark abyss composed of "nothingness," Kyosuke Kousaka was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he decided to manipulate his spiritual power to influence "nothingness" from a distance.

Boom!

Boom! !

As if something was about to split open in the black abyss, Kyosuke Kousaka saw a woman suddenly break free.

Countless golden rays shot into the sky, piercing the dark clouds that had lingered there for so long. Then, those myriad rays fell one after another, scattering like streams of fire into the vast underworld.

Kyosuke Kosaka also saw the full spectrum of what women are like.

—That's right, that's Enma!

However, unlike what Kousaka Kyosuke had seen before, Enma now had a divine mark resembling flames burning between his eyebrows, which spread throughout his body.

When Kousaka Kyosuke noticed the divine markings, he fell into deep thought. He also possessed divine markings after becoming an immortal, but he needed to undergo tribulation to make them more complete. If only he could undergo tribulation, but unfortunately, Japan did not have the conditions for it…

"Kyosuke? This time, we really have to thank you."

"It is Yama, who is suspended high in the sky and is wearing armor, who spoke softly."

Kousaka Kyosuke was surprised to find that Enma's power was much stronger than when he had first discovered it.

"Did you only just regain your other powers?"

It's important to understand that when Enma rebuilt the Underworld, he placed most of his power there. This power might be distributed in various places, requiring one to acquire it from each location.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Enma's power increased again just now.

With that in mind, Kyosuke Kosaka replied calmly, "I'm sure Lord Enma can resolve the issue by spending a little more time, right? I hope you don't mind the timing of my intervention."

Enma smiled: "The sooner we break free, the better. So, Kyosuke, are you planning to come and lend me a hand?"

Having regained his ancient battle stance, Enma is noticeably more imposing, and his speaking style is much more direct than before.

This question is clearly asking what brings Kousaka Kyosuke here.
