Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"If you want to stay here, I have no objection! But as the Holy Maiden, I cannot abandon any of you! So, go ahead and do what you want to do..."

Suzuhiko-hime has lost her temper.

Her dark black hair, tinged with a faint reddish hue, rose without wind, dancing wildly like flames.

Those golden eyes seemed to breathe fire.

No, it was indeed a strange, bright red flame that ignited...

At the end.

Everything is completely fine now.

"Kagura, you go first, then work with me to open the passage. Then, Enmusubi-sama, Utaha, and ?, you can try to see if the passage is stable."

Kousaka Kyosuke said with a smile.

The God of Fate couldn't laugh: "I'll stay and let Shiyu and ? try it first."

Kasumigaoka and Kotobuki remained silent.

Both of them vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"Kagura, you go first."

"……it is good."

Kagura, feeling inexplicably nervous, nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the apology was carried out in an orderly manner.

Kagura uses spatial magic to return to the manor, and together with Kyosuke Kousaka, they open a spatial passage leading to the manor.

Kasumigaoka, Kotobuki? As soon as I stepped in, I arrived at the manor.

"Lord Fate God."

"...Be careful."

"What's there to worry about?"

"……what ever."

The God of Fate also stepped into the spatial passage and went to the manor.

Kyosuke Kosaka then said to Suzuhiko, who was standing not far away, "We can begin now. Go one by one in order. I'll take the items last, so I'm warning everyone not to bring anything that might affect the stability of the space..."

"okay, I get it."

Suzuhiko-hime began making arrangements as instructed.

One by one, the Snow Mountain Clan members followed in the footsteps of the God of Fate and entered the space passage that resembled a black hole.

In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone had left, except for Suzuhiko-hime.

"it's your turn."

Let's go together.

"You go first, I still need to get some things before I leave."

"If you can't take it with you, then forget it."

Suzuhiko-hime remained motionless.

Kousaka Kyosuke shook his head and remained silent, quietly watching Suzuhiko-hime.

After thinking for a moment, Suzuhiko decided to step into the spatial passage.

And so, in the vast snowy region, only Kousaka Kyosuke remained. Kousaka Kyosuke raised his hand and stored all the things that the Snow Mountain Clan wanted to take into his spatial storage, while his spiritual energy was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace...

"My premonition is getting stronger and stronger; I guess I'm being fished out of the blue."

Kousaka Kyousuke teased himself in his mind.

The moment he stepped halfway into the passage, he swiftly pulled the Kusanagi sword from his spatial storage. In a daze, he could see eerie snake shadows gnawing at the Kusanagi sword...

Yes, the Kusanagi Sword is a sacred weapon of Takamagahara.

This divine weapon can still inflict some real damage on Orochi, even if it's not as powerful as the Heavenly Feather Blade.

So, what is Orochi's goal this time—the Kusanagi Sword?

In that instant, Kousaka Kyosuke thought again of the god of wisdom who had lent him the Kusanagi sword. This god of wisdom from Takamagahara was indeed not someone to be trusted too easily. But he really had never trusted this god at all...

"Kyosuke, why do you restrict yourself?"

“Things with form lose their freedom from the moment they are born, and are trapped in the cage of their physical bodies.”

"But you are not like that. Why did you willingly put on these shackles?"

The eerie snake shadows gnawed at and eroded the sacred radiance of the Kusanagi sword.

At the same time, an evil aura lingering throughout the world vibrates, emitting a soft, seductive whisper.

While dodging and weaving through the air, Kyosuke Kousaka was simultaneously dealing with the situation and searching for an escape route.

He couldn't be bothered to talk to or fight the Yamata no Orochi, who he didn't even know if it was coming.

"The moment you try to talk to the evil god, you've already fallen into a trap. The best way is to ignore him and not respond."

Kyosuke Kosaka admitted that he has some skill in verbal sparring.

But compared to the Yamata no Orochi, which has lived for countless years and tempted countless gods, demons, and heroes, it is definitely too inexperienced!

So incredibly tender!

As a rational adult.

Kyosuke Kosaka never tries to use his weaknesses to clash with other people's strengths.

That would be absolutely acting on impulse.

"Won't you talk to me? I might reveal some useful information."

The countless snake shadows that had been gnawing at the sky suddenly retreated, their attack abruptly ceasing.

Without moving, Kousaka Kyosuke instantly used his spiritual power to pulverize everything related to the Snow Mountain Clan in the space into dust so he could throw it outside.

"Heh, to destroy so many people's possessions that are so deeply connected to them, how ruthless."

The whispered seduction turned into a teasing tone tinged with interest.

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, only quickly surveying his surroundings, preparing to escape as soon as possible.

Don't use spatial spells.

Trying to pull this stunt in front of a supreme evil god like Yamata no Orochi is like showing off one's limited skills before an expert; it's far too dangerous.

Therefore, the only way to escape is in a physical sense.

However, with the power of the Yamata no Orochi all around, there might be a big surprise waiting for him ahead.

Therefore, no matter what I do, it's a real headache.

"Is the purpose merely to cripple the power of the Kusanagi Sword... or is there something more to it?"

Kyosuke Kousaka glanced at the Kusanagi Sword, which had become dull and lacked its former brilliance, and quickly pondered.

From beginning to end, he always put his own life first.

I would never do anything foolish for any unnecessary reason.

Consuming more spiritual energy will indeed make the Kusanagi sword's divine power less easily eroded or contaminated, thus weakening its effectiveness.

But Kyosuke Kousaka would never do that.

I would never do such a foolish thing under any circumstances.

What does it matter to him what happened to the sacred artifacts of Takamagahara? The fact that he didn't lose them already shows a lot of integrity!

In short, don't expect him to make great sacrifices if you ask him to do something.

If he really comes to that realization, then he should just go to sleep.

"How heartbreaking! You won't even say a word to me? How about I use my soul-splitting technique to exchange a chance to talk to you?"

"Please say."

The moment Kousaka Kyosuke's mind began to work, his mouth was already moving.

A strange, inexplicable laugh.

The countless eerie snake shadows became even more elusive.

What would it feel like to destroy everything belonging to the Snow Mountain Tribe?

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered for a moment: "Although it's a pity, I still don't feel any hesitation."

"Yes, that's right, I really like that answer. So, if you change your mind in the future, you can let me know. The world always needs some human beings."

His leisurely words revealed a palpable sense of pleasure.

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent.
