Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Is this a live stream?

Why do these two gods seem to be so playful? Is it just my imagination?

Upon closer reflection, Kyosuke Kosaka realized that what Ara said was indeed the best solution.

By using this live-streaming-like method to transmit information to the public, we can quickly gather and utilize everyone's willpower, just like before.

"Should I go back now, or stay in Kyoto...?"

Kyosuke Kosaka lowered his head, lost in thought.

Surely you can't just pick everyone from his estate to choose from for the prayer dance?

Should we get some from Kyoto too?

But frankly speaking, among the people or monsters that Kyosuke Kousaka met, many were very good dancers, clearly better than those he didn't know.

"Should I summon all the powerful shrine maidens from Kyoto for you to take a look?"

With a strange feeling, Minamoto no Hiromasa said to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Only pure girls with a certain spiritual power can perform the prayer dance.

Therefore, choosing from among the shrine maidens is the simplest and quickest method.

As for choosing from the general public?

Yuan Bojia thought it was unreliable.

After all, girls with strong spiritual power are usually noticed by Onmyoji, especially in Kyoto, a place where Onmyoji gather. Generally speaking, these girls eventually become shrine maidens.

"Alright, I'll come over and take a look at some time. I'll head back to the manor first. Or perhaps any of you would like to join my operation?"

After saying goodbye, Kyosuke Kousaka asked the others.

As a result, they found that Arahachi was already looking down at some kind of star chart, and Seimei was deep in thought.

As for the remaining Minamoto no Hiromasa and Yaobikuni...

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't think they would come.

The former has a strong sense of responsibility and would certainly not leave their post casually.

Needless to say, the latter's personality has a "funny person" mentality. He likes to tease people and join in the fun. If he really wanted to go there, he would have spoken up long ago instead of smiling and remaining silent.

Everyone is busy.

"...I'm going to get busy too."

Kyosuke Kosaka stared speechlessly at Hiromasa Minamoto.

Is it really okay to talk like that?

Or is it that selecting dancers for the prayer dance is a low-class matter and not a proper thing to do?

"Then keep up the good work, Kagura... By the way, how is Kagura preparing to learn the prayer dance?"

Still feeling deeply uneasy, Minamoto no Hiromasa turned his gaze to Ara once more.

Before Ara could answer, Kousaka Kyosuke offered his explanation.

"The Heavenly Maiden who has fallen into the mortal world is at my manor. Kagura will consult her then."

"..." Minamoto no Hiromasa was silent for a moment, then looked at Seimei and Yaobikuni, "You two seem to know about this?"

Yaobikuni smiled and said, "I have heard of some."

Seimei said, "I've heard about it too."

"a……"

"Alright, goodbye. I'll take Kagura to dance class right away."

Not wanting to meet Minamoto no Hiromasa's resentful gaze, Kousaka Kyosuke took Kagura's hand and walked out.

In this way, some minor dissatisfaction disappeared.

“There’s no point in me telling Boya all this, and besides, he wouldn’t like to hear it.”

Once outside, Kyosuke Kousaka finally confided in Kagura about his innermost thoughts.

Longkui was in a state of cultivation, currently residing in the soul space where he had placed the demonic sword, so Kagura was the only one left to talk to and complain about.

"Brother Boya is interested in archery, fighting, or competitions."

"Yes, there's not much point in telling him all this, and besides, Seimei and Yaobikuni will help explain when the time is right."

Minamoto no Hiromasa's positioning is actually quite similar to that of Kousaka Kyosuke.

They were all executors of the so-called "strategist's" plan.

I do think things through, but I mostly entrust the task of thinking to trusted partners.

Kyosuke Kousaka was the same.

His attention was already focused on strengthening his abilities, so it would be too much to ask of him to be distracted by other things.

Moreover, he never believed he could defeat Ara, who was the most skilled at divination on Japan's home turf.

They certainly didn't think their wisdom could compare to Seimei's.

It's not that I'm being self-deprecating, but rather that Kyosuke Kousaka simply doesn't have the ability to analyze every aspect in detail and consider every matter meticulously.

It's probably possible to do it if you're really serious, but that would be too painful.

Ignoring all that, Kousaka Kyosuke knew that what he needed to do most right now was to have Kagura learn the Prayer Dance from Suzuhiko-hime, and then select a suitable dancer from the manor...

Huh?and many more.

Why not let Suzuhiko-hime choose?

Even though this former goddess gave up the opportunity to become a deity, it doesn't mean she lost the ability to judge the aptitude of dancers.

No wonder Huang sent him... He actually took it for granted that he really had that kind of insight?

Of course, if he's helping Suzuhiko select contestants, he still has that ability.

After all.

The qualification to perform the prayer dance is mainly reflected in one's spiritual power.

By filtering out girls with insufficient spiritual power, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary and futile efforts.

“There are many dancing spirits in the manor,” Kagura suddenly said. “The cherry blossom spirit, the peach blossom spirit… perhaps they could join us.”

"We'd have to ask Suzuhiko-hime, who knows the most about this. But I think they'd be a good fit as backup dancers."

Kyosuke Kosaka shared his thoughts.

The essence of performing the prayer dance is a kind of awakening ritual.

Dancing is used as a means to gather the willpower of mankind, and then it is inputted into the object that needs to be awakened—Amaterasu—in a special way.

In theory, as long as a dancer has enough willpower to withstand the prayers of the world, there is no problem.

The problem lies in the operation itself.

How can the will of the people be sustained without a certain level of strength?

How can one bear this burden without extraordinary talent and aptitude?

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka did not make any absolute statements.

He said he was a "backup dancer".

The backup dancers are not the main characters, so they may experience less pressure.

"Huh?! Lord Kyosuke?"

A joyful shout rang out.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked toward the source of the sound and discovered that, in addition to the familiar Su Chang, there was another special presence beside her.

A silly god dressed entirely in pink and adorned with many red threads.

There was also a barefoot woman in a red dress with pointed ears, carrying seven knives.

Finally, add... a large gray fox.

What combination?

What is this going to do?

"Are you going to fight?" Kousaka Kyosuke thought for a moment and finally asked.

The spirit of fate stood with her hands on her hips, looking displeased: "It's a patrol! This is the highest-level patrol team!"

“That’s right, that’s right~” Suzuhiko Hime was also very energetic.

"Ouch~~"

"..."

486. Constant Complaints/Who are the performers of the Prayer Dance?

—This combination seems pretty impressive.
