Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Especially when dealing with the Yamata no Orochi, which appears arrogant but is actually extremely cautious.

That makes Seimei even more necessary.

“In the past, you made all the decisions…” Longkui said involuntarily.

The Kousaka Kyosuke she knew had always been a very decisive man.

However, this wasn't really shown in Japan.

When Kousaka Kyosuke heard Longkui say this, he subconsciously thought of his previous time travel experience, and his expression gradually became strange. His voice was low and gloomy: "Back then, was there really anyone more reliable than me?"

"...It seems not." Longkui remained silent for several seconds, then awkwardly looked away.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "That's basically it. Don't think of me as some kind of strategist who can plan everything. I'm just a fairly competent commander at best."

Longkui: "Oh."

Now all doubts are gone.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself that Longkui was too concerned about her image.

Unlike his partners whom he had known for a while, he quickly figured out their true nature.

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kousaka felt a pang of longing for Kagura, who was always by his side.

Although Kagura usually doesn't talk much and just stays quietly by his side like a pendant, her indescribably cute and obedient nature makes Kousaka Kyosuke really like her.

As for Longkui, to be honest, Kousaka Kyosuke basically regarded her as a comrade-in-arms.

After that.

Days passed by like this.

Kousaka Kyosuke's interactions with Seimei became more frequent because Seimei, with Amaterasu's permission, had also gained the qualification to participate in the trial ceremony and was living next to him.

Therefore, the two naturally kept exchanging information.

"Lord Susanoo is already prepared. He said he will severely injure and seal Orochi once again."

“Yes, killing Yamata no Orochi is clearly not a viable method, and besides, the course of history will change…” Kousaka Kyosuke said, his teeth aching.

He began to understand why some protagonists in time-travel dramas were always afraid of changing history.

In his current situation, if the changes are too drastic, it's impossible to predict what might happen in his original timeline.

The thought of this made Kyosuke Kosaka feel restricted in everything he did.

"Could you tell me more about the world scene in my memory where Yamata no Orochi seems to have perished?" Seimei asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Of course, that's no problem—in my memory, its poisonous blood corroded the sea, completely corrupting the seawater and rivers, turning all kinds of wild beasts into terrifying monsters, and the land basically lost its vitality..."

Kousaka Kyosuke probably guessed what Seimei was planning to do.

That is, to use this understanding to develop a plan that allows humans to avoid danger as much as possible.

Ultimately, if their plan succeeds this time, Orochi will be brutally brought back to the mortal world, just as it has been in the past, and sealed away by Ame no Habakiri for a thousand years...

However, just how terrible was the destruction caused by the fall of the Yamata no Orochi?

It's probably less severe than the doomsday scenario that Kyosuke Kousaka envisioned.

According to ancient records, the Yamata no Orochi that fell from the sky did indeed create a dead land, and the fact that even monsters found it difficult to live in Mount Kuroya is related to it.

Time flies by again.

Day after day, the day of the trial finally arrived.

The instrument of torture capable of executing evil gods has been successfully created!

The Yamata no Orochi is about to be executed.

Before participating, Kyosuke Kousaka made a special and solemn farewell to the Goddess of Marriage.

"...You look like you're saying goodbye," said the God of Fate, who had noticed something amiss.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "Yes, after participating in the ritual to judge the snake god, Seimei and I should leave."

Yukinami looked at Kousaka Kyosuke carefully.

"Neither you nor Seimei are ordinary people, are you?"

"You'll find out later."

Kyosuke Kosaka did not confess to the Goddess of Love.

On the one hand, such time travel is not something that should be known to more people.

On the other hand, he wasn't quite sure how to explain it either.

"I remember that even the Goddess of Bonds, who had lost too much of her divine power, had many fragmented memories. Suzuhiko-hime, who was once the Heavenly Maiden, was in the same situation..."

When Kousaka Kyosuke thought about these things, he felt that some things were indeed developing quite naturally.

It's as if an invisible hand of fate is controlling everything.

But no matter what, people still have to rely on themselves to change what they want to change.

"I've known you for quite a while now, and thinking back, it's really a lot of interesting memories." The Goddess of Fate smiled gently, without any intention of digging deeper.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable.

Indeed, if it were the God of Fate he knew, he would already be jumping up and down and complaining.

“I am honored that I can be remembered by the Goddess of Fate,” Kousaka Kyosuke replied.

The God of Fate's smile remained unchanged; he merely shook his head slightly and remained silent.

Take good care of yourself.

"...Thank you for your concern, Lord Enmusubi."

Kyosuke Kousaka was surprised that the Goddess of Love had said goodbye to him in advance. Could it be that she had guessed something?

Maybe that's the case.

Even though Kyosuke Kousaka often called Enchantress "Silly Goddess" in his mind, once she got serious, she was more reliable than anyone else.

Goodbye, Lord of Fate.

Finally, he smiled and said something to Kousaka Kyosuke, who then silently bowed and turned to leave.

The God of Ebony looked at Kousaka Kyousuke's figure with a very subtle feeling in his heart.

For some reason, she always felt that her connection with Kyosuke Kosaka could continue, and could continue for a long time.

Could it be that she will encounter Kousaka Kyosuke again in the future, the same person who abruptly said goodbye to her now?

"You must live a happy life and find a good wife."

When they couldn't see Kyosuke Kousaka, the Goddess of Fate murmured a blessing.

Another hour passed.

The judgment arena, which was originally filled with gods, had been quickly filled with them under Susanoo's temporary arrangement. Seeing that things had changed, Yamata no Orochi, who had already corrupted Susanoo's divine status, immediately replaced the divine status and stole Ame no Habakiri, preparing to kill some of the gods who had not yet completely left.

“Yamata no Orochi!” Susanoo said coldly.

"Hehe, the God of Execution is so wary of me, it really makes me extremely apprehensive."

"Stop talking! Surrender now!"

"Then let's see what you can do..."

With a smile, Yamata no Orochi summoned a giant serpent capable of easily devouring even gods.

Susanoo, who had come prepared, immediately raised his sword and charged forward!

"Naive executioner, let me show you the power of Ame no Habakiri." Yamata no Orochi fought against Susanoo without any fear.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had already retreated to the side with Seimei, watched the scene of Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo fighting and felt quite strange.

He thought that Orochi usually talked a lot of nonsense, so why was he willing to fight Susanoo now?

Could this be a feint, a diversionary tactic?

Just as he was thinking this, Kousaka Kyosuke's own lightning power suddenly detected a strange, similar fluctuation. He immediately used his senses to observe and vaguely saw Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi fighting in another world...

Is this some kind of endless nesting doll thing?

Kousaka Kyosuke immediately explained the situation to Seimei, and the two of them waited until the Yamata no Orochi in this world was sealed away as it had been in the past before they tried to take action again.

"Perhaps we could try sealing away the Yamata no Orochi..."

A thought flashed through the mind of Kyosuke Kousaka, who was always looking for an opportunity.

459. The Torrent of Fate / Another World / A Gift

[Seimei, I've noticed something...]

Kousaka Kyosuke, who remained hidden to the side and did not follow Amaterasu's instructions to leave, communicated with Seimei through telepathy.

Hmm? Orochi?

When Seimei heard the message from Kousaka Kyosuke, he was immediately filled with astonishment.

Whether it's Susanoo, the true god of prophecy Ara, or even himself, they all believe that Yamata no Orochi will return to the "past" a thousand years ago to change the future.
