Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Knowing full well what was going on, Kousaka Kyosuke smiled in response: "If Lord Enma needs my help, that's certainly possible, but I'm just here to pass on a few words..."

As he spoke, he briefly explained that the spirits of the Han family wanted to come and help.

Regarding the matter of helping, Kyosuke Kosaka didn't actively offer his help, after all, he wasn't some cheap laborer, and Enma might not necessarily need his help.

Therefore, he felt that he should just do his job and there was no need to rush to do anything else.

Enma, who had just finished listening to Kyosuke Kousaka's explanation, was puzzled, but said without hesitation, "I am naturally welcome to help, but you must be prepared to make sacrifices."

Kyosuke Kosaka: "Of course. Since we're here to help, how could we not be prepared?"

Having played the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and knowing the plight of the Han clan all too well, Kyosuke Kosaka was perfectly aware that they had no choice at all.

Kyosuke Kosaka was indifferent to this, and even welcomed it at the moment.

After all, the order of the underworld is closely related to the stability of the world. If it can be resolved quickly, then there is no reason for him not to welcome it.

Similarly, Yama, the ruler of the underworld, shared the same idea.

In her view, since the spirits of the Han family were willing to go to the underworld to help, even at the risk of disappearing, she had no reason to refuse them.

If there are any requests, Yama will give corresponding "rewards" based on what the Han clan's spirits do afterward.

“Alright, I’ll send them over later. Lord Enma should let everyone know,” said Kyosuke Kousaka.

"Ah."

Enma responded lightly.

Upon seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka took his leave.

Unexpectedly, Enma seemed to remember something and asked, "Bonsai, how is she?"

With a strange feeling in his heart, Kyosuke Kousaka replied, "...She is currently living a leisurely life and has even prepared some special tea. Once Lord Enma has dealt with matters in the Underworld, perhaps we can sit down and have tea together."

"Potted plant" is what Yama calls the spider lily.

Kyosuke Kosaka was well aware of this, but he was also quite certain that Higanbana definitely didn't like the nickname.

Especially when spoken by Enma, whose strength is clearly superior to that of Higanbana.

"Hehe, she even makes tea. How enviable. I'll hurry up and finish up my current problems before I go have a cup with her."

Enma seemed to be deep in thought when he said this.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka nodded slightly: "I will pass on the message to her."

It is obvious that Enma intends to make a deal with Higanbana, just like in the story of Onmyoji, to help purify the Sanzu River.

As for asking the spider lily for help?

That was definitely not free.

Many unfulfilled spirits made wishes to the red spider lily, and all of them were transformed into the power of the red spider lily.

Yama, the lord of the underworld, does have other things to trade.

However, Kyosuke Kousaka wasn't quite sure what Higanbana would ask Enma for.

What is certain is that if the Spider Lily makes a pact with Enma, it should be very happy.

"It's purely a pleasure monster; thankfully it's neutral."

Kyosuke Kosaka secretly grumbled about the spider lily, but was too lazy to comment on it further.

As long as it's not intentional evil, then it doesn't matter.

After bidding farewell to Enma, Kousaka Kyosuke returned the way he came.

Back to temporary accommodation.

Kyosuke Kosaka was talking to Higanbana about Enma.

"Oh dear, it seems the Lord of the Underworld is also facing considerable difficulties." Upon hearing about Yama's predicament, Higanbana's smile became even brighter than usual.

Kagura asked with concern, "Is Lord Enma alright?"

Kyosuke Kousaka replied, "All I know is that her power has become much stronger than when we first met, and that power is enough to temporarily stabilize the situation in the Underworld. That is, provided that there are no other major changes."

Qingji said, "I feel there's nothing seriously wrong. Lord Enma will definitely be able to handle it."

Kinnara, however, did not hold a very optimistic view.

"That's not necessarily true. Those evil gods are beings capable of contending with Yama, and among them is the Yamata no Orochi..."

“Don’t worry, Orochi wouldn’t care about such things,” Kousaka Kyosuke immediately said.

He knows the Yamata no Orochi too well!

The Yamata no Orochi clearly considers all beings in the world as dead, so why would it deliberately target anyone?

Frankly speaking, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that among the Seven Evil Gods, only the leader of the Seven Evil Gods, Yamata no Orochi, was truly worthy of constant fear; the other evil gods were just so-so.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that sealing them together with Kagura would be no problem, given his own strength.

No matter how powerful or immortal a god is, as long as a sealing technique of comparable strength is used, it can be defeated.

This is what Kyosuke Kousaka currently considers the best approach.

"Hey, so now we're going to—"

"You and Kinnara are in charge of helping the Spider Lily and Aohime collect some other uncontrollable flowers. Kagura and I will go back and come back later."

Kyosuke Kosaka tells Princess Goldfish what his current plans are.

Kinnara asked curiously, "Kagura is with you too?"

“Yes, I will keep Kagura tied up until the end of the great war,” Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Aohime looked at Kagura and let out a soft "Ah," her admiration evident in her eyes.

Kagura guessed the reason: "Is Kyosuke worried that I might be attacked?"

“Yes,” Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile, “After your strength improved, I found that your power is indeed very effective against gods, and at the same time, it is very suitable to be a vessel for gods.”

Princess Goldfish was startled: "Kyosuke, do you suspect that the evil gods will attack Kagura?"

"There's a pretty good chance of that happening, so we need to take precautions." Kousaka Kyosuke patted Kagura's head.

Seeing that Kagura was unusually uneasy, he knew he had to reassure her immediately.

The red spider lily chuckled:

"Since Kagura, your power can subdue the gods, why are you so worried? Wouldn't it be better to use this power to fight against those evil gods? I believe that with your talent in Yin-Yang arts, it wouldn't be difficult for you to create a spell to resist spirit possession."

Are human powers truly inferior to those of the gods?

The red spider lily doesn't think so.

Kyosuke Kousaka exemplifies this perfectly.

Although this is related to talent, Higanbana doesn't think Kagura lacks such talent.

"I understand!" Kagura quickly came to her senses and looked gratefully at the spider lily that had reminded her. "Thank you for your guidance."

"You're welcome."

The red spider lily spoke softer than usual, already resembling a true, caring older sister.

Kyosuke Kosaka was amazed by Kagura's charm.

"Kagura, don't push yourself too hard. Just stick close to Kyosuke and be careful," Kinnara said.

Kinnara knew very well how difficult it was to create spells to fight against gods, especially spells to fight against powerful evil gods like Yamata no Orochi.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Don't worry, I have some experience in this area, and I also have a lot of experience with Menreiki."

He was somewhat proud.

After all, the shikigami he contracted all had a special skill, and were at a very high level.

In short, let's all keep going!

Princess Goldfish clenched her fists, looking energetic and vibrant.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at Princess Goldfish, then looked at the others, a surge of pride rising within him.

"Keep up the good work, and the day of peace will be just around the corner!"

"Yes! Keep it up!" Qingji was the first to respond.

Princess Goldfish and Kinara echoed her with high spirits, and Higanbana also clapped, making the atmosphere very relaxed and harmonious.

Kagura's tense mind gradually relaxed a bit.

Yes, she is not fighting alone...

After a while.

Kousaka Kyosuke then took Kagura back to the manor.

On the way back, Kyosuke Kosaka deliberately slowed down and gently comforted Kagura.

While he didn't want to talk about the bad things, the problem was that he didn't have much confidence in fighting Orochi, so he could only tell Kagura that he wanted to work together.

To be honest, this is due to Kyosuke Kousaka's own lack of ability.

However, he knew he couldn't say anything that made him feel guilty, otherwise Kagura would feel even more guilty than him.
