Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 640

Her little face first showed an embarrassed expression, then quickly changed to an unhappy one.

"Who are you? What I do is none of your business."

"The little girl is so cute."

The red spider lily smiled and pinched Qing Ji's little face.

That tender little face was pinched into a ball, it must have hurt a bit, right?

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself.

"Hate!"

Qing Ji quickly retreated and stuck her tongue out at the spider lily.

A little bit~

The image of the "female devil" remains unchanged.

Although Qingji didn't recognize the two of them this time.

As Kyosuke Kosaka sighed, he picked up a twig and began writing on the ground.

[The beautiful woman remains, her beauty unseen; the flowers, adorned with branches, are admired as the white dew scatters...]

"Hmm?" Qingji, who still wanted to argue with the spider lily, stared intently at the words written by Kousaka Kyosuke.

Soon after finishing his poem, Kousaka Kyosuke smiled and looked at Aohime.

"If you're interested in poetry, how about I teach you?"

He can't write poetry at all, but he's a master at copying it!

Not to mention it also has a mouth!

"You think I would idolize you?" Qingji tilted her head and glanced at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled without saying a word.

He thought to himself, "That little brat deserves a beating!"

However, knowing that Qing Ji was absolutely crucial to the mission, he held back for now.

The trials Orochi is testing now are even more perilous than the first time.

If any step goes wrong, the entire save file will be deleted and restarted!

If this continues a few more times, a group of people will break down, and after breaking down, they may cause trouble and sabotage, thus creating a vicious cycle.

That's really speechless.

All we can say is that Orochi's ability to be truly disgusting is unmatched.

"Then pretend I didn't tell you."

"Is he a man if he doesn't keep his word?" Qing Ji said with disdain.

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled faintly, and designated Aohime as the first person he wanted to teach a lesson.

The original first spider lily was saved for the next stage.

After all, the Spider Lily can occasionally offer some perks or bonuses.

"I want to learn too."

Whether it was to egg them on or not, the red spider lily spoke up.

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the woman with the excited expression on her face and realized that she really was there for a picnic.

The trials of the Yamata no Orochi were a real source of amusement for the Higanbana.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't bother to say anything more about this, since he had already made some gains these past few days.

Since one cannot leave Kyoto at will, it is truly a bonus to be able to learn about Kinai Province and its surroundings through this illusion.

There is still a lot that people want to know and understand.

But that doesn't mean we stop working.

"Then I'll teach you." Seeing that Qingji was holding her head high and her back straight, just like a little statue, Kousaka Kyosuke didn't try to tease her.

For now, we should maintain some contact so that we can deal with Kiyohime, who usually stays at home, later.

The teaching continued until dusk before Qingji left, bowing respectfully before departing.

This finally revealed that the little devil had received proper etiquette.

"This is the first time I've realized that words can touch people's hearts," Qingji said hesitantly.

My sister, who has a reserved personality, received a paper crane filled with words of affection a couple of days ago; she had seen it before.

Bo thus discovered the beauty of writing.

It just so happens that Kyosuke Kousaka is indeed very skilled, so of course she has to learn from him!

"Oh, that is indeed true..."

As Kousaka Kyosuke spoke slowly, as if he wanted to say something more, Aohime turned and ran away in a flash.

A cloud of dust rose up.

The red spider lily teased, "You scared Qing Ji."

Kyosuke Kosaka remained silent, clearly embarrassed, and ran away.

The two returned to the hill.

The people still staying in the small hill all had clearly visible negative emotions written on their faces.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at it with interest, then briefly recounted his interaction with Aohime to Shijou Tei, who was present at the time.

Information sharing.

The group of people were cooperating with each other, constantly figuring out how to prevent the tragedy from happening, so naturally they had to keep an eye on Kiyohime.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka provided information about Aohime, while the others provided information about Kiyohime to facilitate his analysis.

“Anchin wrote a letter, folded it into a small paper crane, and handed it to Kiyohime under her window.”

"Kiyohime's mother seems to be ill."

"Masago Seiji is still infatuated with women, frequenting brothels and red-light districts..."

Each message, more or less, helped Kyosuke Kousaka understand what was about to happen.

"Next, Kiyohime will probably misunderstand that Anchin is someone else and fall in love with him, but she will end up heartbroken. Coincidentally, her mother passes away from a serious illness, and she will have suicidal thoughts."

"Next, Anchin, who died unexpectedly while searching for medicine for Kiyohime's mother, gave Kiyohime a promise to marry her, a promise that was impossible to fulfill..."

Kyosuke Kosaka analyzes the plot based on what he already knows and predicts what will happen next.

At the same time, it's a bit of a headache.

Clearly, there's a lot to deal with now.

Whether Kiyohime's mother lives or dies is another matter, but Kiyohime must be given a reason to live.

"Mr. Kusa, please keep it up." Shijo Tei quickly encouraged Kosaka Kyosuke as he turned to leave.

Kyosuke Kosaka was knowledgeable in Chinese poetry and waka poetry, and could do many other things as well, which made him popular with many nobles.

This is very likely the key to this mission!

Shijou Tei never had any ambition to make wishes to the gods; he only wanted someone to clear the level and leave this place as soon as possible.

This is something many people think!

Kousaka Kyosuke gave a soft "hmm," feeling that his brother-in-law, Shijou Tei, still had a lot to learn from him.

If it were Ayanokoji, he would probably actively ask, "Do you need any help?" or "What do you need?"

The main focus is on practicality.

The Four Emperors are rather thin.

Perhaps they thought he didn't need anything anymore?

This is true.

While living in this world may feel no different from reality in terms of sensory perception, as long as you try not to think about it, you don't need anything.

People who constantly complain of being hungry or cold are simply overthinking things.

Speaking of this, Kyosuke Kosaka believes it's fortunate that Orochi was "merciful" enough not to set the game difficulty to the highest level.

Otherwise, the food, lodging, and transportation for 500 people would be something everyone would have to deal with.

Unlike now, we can ignore all of that and go straight to the main storyline?

"I really wonder who Mr. Grass is?"

"I'm very curious too, it's so mysterious."

Everyone turned their attention to Kyosuke Kousaka as he left.

Putting everything else aside, people gradually became aware of the strengths and weaknesses of certain individuals over this period of time.

Such as the leaders Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, Shijo Tei, and Horikita Manabu, or others.
