Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 577

Kyosuke Kosaka remembered this matter again.

Even though he wanted to deduce it, he gave up because he suspected there was a good chance he would be discovered.

Seimei is the main character.

Whether it's Black Seimei or Seimei, their talent in Onmyodo is maxed out.

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't think he can surpass Seimei; at most, he can only achieve the same level of Onmyōdō as Seimei.

But that is clearly not enough.

Deduction requires overwhelming strength. Don't wait for Kuro Seimei to deduce a similar method and end up losing big time!

Out of caution, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to do his best to defend Kyoto.

Ultimately, my own job is still the most important.

If the sky were to fall, Kuro Seimei would probably be actively helping to hold it up, not to mention there's another Seimei with a kind face.

As expected, I won't lose out no matter what.

"We've won so much!"

Kousaka Kyosuke praised.

He had just thought it to himself when he wondered if he was being too arrogant.

It's like setting a flag.

It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine!

Kyosuke Kosaka quickly took several sips of milk.

Even if it's poison, isn't there a saying that "two negatives make a positive"?

Even so…

Kyosuke Kosaka, in the end, honestly hid his hands in his sleeves and carefully made his deductions.

Be careful, be safe.

The spiritual energy was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace.

Having realized this, Kyosuke Kousaka proceeded with his deductions even more cautiously.

Kagura noticed something amiss and automatically began to observe and protect Kyosuke Kousaka's surroundings.

"Kyosuke's spiritual power is disappearing rather quickly, as if he's doing some kind of divination."

Thinking about this, Kagura also felt a desire to learn.

Now that I've learned divination, can I help my husband again?

Minamoto no Hiromasa was unaware of Kousaka Kyosuke's condition.

On one hand, Minamoto no Hiromasa was not particularly skilled in spiritual perception, and on the other hand, Kousaka Kyosuke conducted it in a very secretive manner.

Kagura was able to discover this not only because of her strong spiritual perception, but also because she had been in close contact with Kousaka Kyosuke many times and was already familiar with the flow of spiritual energy within Kousaka Kyosuke's body.

"Let's go on patrol."

"Huh?" Minamoto no Hiromasa was slightly surprised, and stood up without hesitation.

Kagura was even faster, almost clinging to Kousaka Kyosuke like a small ornament. Her goldfish headdress jiggled energetically, even though her eyes were still round and her body was chubby.

Kyosuke Kosaka almost touched Kagura's goldfish headdress because it was so cute.

Unfortunately, this is not the time to talk about this.

Go out.

Kyosuke Kosaka walked ahead, inspecting the streets of the four main roads.

Minamoto no Hiromasa asked curiously, "Why do we start with the four main roads?"

"I feel like I'll gain something here."

"That's such an absurd statement... Hahaha, I think it's great!"

"Brother Boya, you should do more and talk less."

"Yes!"

"..." Kyosuke Kousaka shook his head secretly.

Kagura rarely speaks.

Being able to be forced to speak multiple times by Minamoto no Hiromasa is a skill in itself.

Unfortunately, he always ends up at the center of the problem.

"Kyosuke, I sense something strange about that Buddhist temple..." Kagura suddenly pointed to a certain spot.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked slightly taken aback: "That place isn't good."

Minamoto no Hiromasa's expression was also quite complicated: "Yes, that's not an auspicious place."

"You know Boya too?"

"...When my mother was a child, she thought about becoming a nun, and that was the place she chose."

"That's really bad luck. Kagura, you should also try to persuade your mother when you have time."

Kyosuke Kousaka touched Kagura's hair.

Kagura nodded her head, looking somewhat confused.

"Don't even mention such things. How are we supposed to get to the nunnery? It's a place men avoid, especially since it's a nunnery founded by Empress Tachibana. Even though the Tachibana clan has declined, they can still cause a lot of trouble if they get into trouble..."

Minamoto no Hiromasa rarely speaks at length.

Kyosuke Kosaka hesitated for a moment: "That's true."

Minamoto no Hiromasa then added abruptly, "Besides, you also have the title of 'playboy.'"

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke was silent.

That's what he's worried about.

He was speechless and felt quite innocent about being called a "playboy".

Heaven knows how absurd and eccentric those nobles were.

How did he get it?

Is it because he married several wives in a short period of time and brought them home directly?

This is not fair!

Then he thought about how he also had a reputation for being "indiscriminate in his love of raw and cold foods" because he married Chitanda, and he felt even more innocent.

Sometimes, Kyosuke Kosaka really wanted to show everyone just how beautiful Chitanda, this so-called peasant girl, really was.

After much deliberation, Kyosuke Kosaka decided to keep it for himself and not show it to anyone else.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Now how to do?

By the way.

The temple that Kousaka Kyosuke wants to enter is called "Danrin-ji," a temple founded by Tachibana Kachiko, a devout Buddhist.

Yoshiko Tachibana was the first and only empress in Japanese history to be born into the Tachibana clan.

After his death, the Tachibana clan, which had rivaled the Fujiwara clan, completely declined. As the Fujiwara clan rose to prominence, the Tachibana clan was increasingly suppressed and could no longer hold its head high.

At the very least, Kyosuke Kosaka had never heard of anyone with the surname Tachibana in Kyoto.

Sometimes he even wondered if the Tachibana clan had been wiped out by the Fujiwara clan.

However, this is not a reason to suddenly provoke the Tachibana family.

After all, ruthless extermination is a highly taboo behavior.

This can be seen from the fact that the Taoist priest previously sent a large number of people to protect his nephew, Jianlong...

"I'll go in!"

"No! If something goes wrong, it will be very difficult for you to get married in the future, Boya."

"Then I..."

"No!"×2

Both Kyosuke Kousaka and Hiromasa Minamoto objected.

It was rare for the two to agree on something.

Kagura lowered her head in disappointment.

Kyosuke Kosaka patted her head and said, "I don't quite understand what's wrong inside, but if I let Kagura go on such a risk, then I would be failing as her husband."

Kagura looked enlightened: "I understand."

This shows her husband cares about her; she should be happy.
