Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

However, it is often more "reasonable" to follow the rules.

"Actually, Lord Kyosuke is being very kind," Shiro finally spoke up again. "The people who made the mistake this time were just ordinary villagers. If they were in other manors, they generally wouldn't be able to move around freely."

As Seimei's steward, Shiro has always been very concerned about Seimei's assets.

He also had several small estates in Kyoto, and he remembered very clearly how many people worked there and how much land was cultivated.

He understood better than anyone else what the villagers should do and what responsibilities they had.

"Because I don't want people to feel too lifeless."

"Yeah...yes, there's definitely a lot of energy here."

Xiaobai realized what was happening.

However, it lacked the courage to follow Kyosuke Kousaka's example.

Because it must control the cost of personnel and cannot afford any waste.

Unlike Kyosuke Kosaka's area, there's so much land...

"This is the most important reason why Lord Ara chose this place," Seimei said slowly.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked thoughtful: "The power of people full of hope is indeed stronger than that of people full of negative emotions."

This time, the ritual of invoking the god Amaterasu was mainly based on everyone's prayers, that is, the power of faith.

It shares the same essence as the previous ceremonies.

After extensive investigation by Kousaka Kyosuke, it was found that the faith power provided by people in better mental condition was indeed of high quality.

"Then, shouldn't Mr. Kyosuke take action and resolve this matter first?"

Yaobikuni seemed uninterested in the serious battle and more interested in watching the spectacle.

Kyosuke Kosaka had no choice but to say, "Alright, let's go ask the representatives for their opinions."

There are quite a few representatives in the area where the monsters live.

The manor granted them authority, allowing them to command certain individuals to take action, and in return, they were required to fulfill their responsibilities in various aspects.

Similar to... neighborhood committee aunties.

Reconciling various minor conflicts and disputes is a daily task.

Therefore, you could say he is very busy.

After concealing themselves with magic, Kousaka Kyosuke, Yaobikuni, Seimei, and Shiro headed to their business location.

Less than a hundred meters from our destination, various noisy and boisterous sounds began to rang out—

"I want a job! I can do the work of ten people! Why won't you introduce me to a job?"

"It's not fair! I want fairness! Why should he get his services first? I was here first!!"

"Calm down! All monsters who engage in conflict or fighting will be recorded! This will severely impact their future compensation and job prospects! So, for the sake of your future treatment, please don't let your emotions control your mind! Be a good monster!"

The atmosphere is just as good as that of a bustling city center.

Upon seeing this scene, Kyosuke Kosaka immediately had the thought of retreating.

"This is much more terrifying than before. If we show up now, we'll probably be busy until very late..."

Yaobikuni's smile seemed somewhat forced.

She hadn't expected that the monsters were more adapted to this place than she had imagined.

Listen to them, they're all either looking for jobs or emphasizing things like fairness and autonomy. Most of them are alright, but at least those job-hunting monsters are emphasizing their own strengths.

Even the monsters who want to eat candy and sweets think about earning their rewards through labor, rather than simply demanding them.

"No wonder Itsumade is so happy to have found a job..." Shiro's feelings were also a bit complicated.

There seem to be too many monsters, and there's clearly not enough work to go around.

There are also some strange things that the monsters say, such as wanting to start a band, or having bizarre ideas like singing in their own rooms without disturbing others...

How strange, everything is so weird.

"Okay, let me know if you have any opinions."

Kyosuke Kosaka finally showed up and spoke.

Suddenly realizing that his lover and acquaintances, Menreiki, Renka, and Neko-sho, were all being swept away by the horde of monsters, he immediately understood that he could not back down.

At this time, you still need to show your courage.

Even a girl as succinct as Menreiki has to deal with talkative yokai.

Like Lianhua, this young girl who was born not long ago, she should not have to face such terrible and overwhelming troubles.

Needless to say, the Cat Shopkeeper is another story altogether.

Kyosuke Kosaka could tell from her constantly bristling hair that she was in a state of complete agitation the whole time.

"I also have Seimei, Yaobikuni, a great Onmyoji from Kyoto, and a very powerful fortune teller by my side. Together, we are enough to solve your current problems."

After thinking it over, Kyosuke Kosaka pulled the two people next to him along as well.

Since the two of them said they wanted to come and see what kind of monsters were like here, what better way would they be than to face them and solve their current problems?

Unexpectedly, Seimei was even bolder than Kousaka Kyosuke had anticipated.

Seimei stepped forward and looked at the other yokai who were momentarily stunned:

"Please be patient, I will do my best to resolve your troubles today."

Yaobikuni smiled and added, "If you have any doubts about the future, you can come to me."

What a caring older sister she is!

After internally criticizing it, Kousaka Kyosuke said aloud:

"Come one by one, line up properly, don't push, and keep order."

Call ~

The cat shopkeeper, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly lowered its raised tail, and then wagged it happily.

"Now that Lord Kyosuke and Lord Seimei are here, let's do our job of maintaining order."

"Ok!"

Lianhua, who immediately became very energetic, nodded quickly.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that Kousaka Kyosuke, who had just returned to his room and was training, had come here.

Even though she knew she would be too busy to talk to him, it didn't matter. She was perfectly content to be with her master, Kyosuke Kousaka.

"Why did Kyosuke come here...?"

Menreiki was curious about why she had come here.

Seeing that Seimei and Yaobikuni were also with Kousaka Kyosuke, she guessed that Kousaka Kyosuke might have brought the two of them here for a visit.

Yes, the two of them came as part of the Kyoto reinforcements, having moved from Kyoto to the manor.

But now is not the time to think about these things; let's solve the problems at hand one by one first.

Time flies.

As night fell.

One by one, the monsters dispersed, and Kousaka Kyosuke, whose body felt like it was falling apart and whose head was spinning, was finally able to eat.

Also having lunch with them were the office staff, many of whom Kyosuke Kosaka knew.

Among them are lovers, such as A-Zhi, and shikigami, such as Zhen.

Oh, and there are also quite a few aquatic monsters from the Arakawa River, who are the same kind of people as the Goldfish Princess.

It's been quite a while since we've seen Ponyo Princess.

She is currently guarding the other side of the Arakawa River together with the Lord of Arakawa, and is quite busy.

Aside from occasionally contacting her through the Ensen during her rest time, Kyosuke Kosaka rarely heard from her.

"Lord Kyosuke, so you came here this time to find out what we think of those poor... cough, those single men?"

One of the cat demons tried to change what he wanted to say towards the end.

After taking a break to eat, Kousaka Kyosuke said to the cat demon, "Yes, feel free to speak your mind. For example, if you dislike them, I will pass a law to prevent them from having too much contact with you."

"No, no, there are many good people. We can't let a few bad people keep us away from the good ones."

"That's right! Those with ulterior motives can only fool children. But if they really want to do that, it depends on whether we agree to it!"

Other monsters echoed this sentiment.

As Kousaka Kyosuke listened to each person express their thoughts, he immediately realized that he might be overthinking things.

Or perhaps these managing monsters are all very mature, and he doesn't need to worry about them much.

"Yes, they are all elites who have been sifted through the sands of time. Their intelligence is unquestionable, and after so many days of training, they have gained experience and knowledge. How different are they from humans?"

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

He had a vague feeling that a kingdom with monsters was about to take shape.
