Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 895

Seimei remained silent and did not speak.

Kousaka Kyosuke finally understood why Seimei hadn't said much to Tamamo-no-Mae.

"This conversation just died out. No wonder even someone as eloquent and emotionally intelligent as Seimei shut up..."

However, this is understandable.

It's perfectly normal to feel resentment when someone's children have been killed.

The fact that there has been no action so far is actually quite good.

We can't ask for anything more.

Then, after exchanging only a few words, Tamamo-no-Mae left.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu also hurriedly left with Onikiri's main sword.

Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji then went to clean up the mess at Mt. Ōe.

After saying goodbye to Seimei and the others, Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura rushed back to the Mizubushi Manor to report that they were safe. He didn't care about what happened afterward.

Ultimately, the military was under the control of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and he was adept at handling such matters.

He's an outsider, so he shouldn't get involved.

In the manor where they lived.

Kyosuke Kosaka briefly recounted the Battle of Mount Oe to the others.

"Hey, where's Ōtakemaru's hand?" Su Chang asked curiously.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It was taken back by Lord Raikou, and it will probably be sealed away as some kind of rare item."

"Oh, I'd like to take another look."

"There's nothing to see here...it's terrifying."

Kyosuke Kosaka was speechless at Su Chang's thought process.

Looking at Princess Kaguya, she had shrunk her head, looking flustered and scared. It seemed best not to talk about anything related to the battle.

"Then, Lord Kyosuke, should we return to Kyoto to make preparations?" Su Yi asked.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "That's right. This time, I plan to take all the Onmyoji and samurai from Kyoto back with me. I'll only leave a small group of people here to guard the area."

Princess Goldfish immediately replied, "I will protect the safety of this place. When the day of the final battle is really approaching, I will bring people over."

Kousaka Kyosuke coughed dryly.

"Why don't you stay here? We'll take care of Kyoto's safety."

Princess Goldfish said with a determined look: "This should be the most important decisive battle. More troops mean a better chance of winning. Besides, we can't just let things go like that. The most important thing is that I want to find out why Ootengu performed the blood sacrifice. At least, I want to figure out the blood sacrifice array first!"

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka did not refute it further.

He understands.

Princess Goldfish has indeed grown up and has her own ideas about matters involving Arakawa.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't bring himself to strongly object.

"Okay, I'll let you know when to come to Kyoto."

"Then it's settled."

"I know."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded solemnly in commitment.

After that, he bid farewell to Princess Goldfish and Princess Kaguya, sent back the other combat personnel from Kyoto, and then took Su Yi and Su Chang from the manor back to Kyoto ahead of time.

He hadn't seen his wife for several days, and it goes without saying that he missed her.

Arrived at the mansion's sleeping quarters.

After exchanging a few brief words with his companions, Kyosuke Kosaka had to first convene a meeting with his vassals.

The next battlefield will be in Kyoto, and it would be wrong not to explain that properly.

The sleeping quarters.

Su Chang chattered excitedly as she told her companions about what she had seen and heard over the past few days.

Chitanda, Shizuko, Yotohime, Hakuro, and others were also pestered with questions.

"Oh, right! There's a simplified battle map here~"

Su Chang also took out a map from her person.

It contains a detailed record of the siren's battle routes.

What's taboo outside isn't a big deal here.

She believed that no one would dare to say anything.

Miku saw the map and stared at it intently with shining eyes.

Having a background in history, she also finds war quite interesting.

Although she didn't want this to happen, since it had already occurred, she couldn't help but be curious...

The others stared at it curiously as well.

Since the news of the sea monster has spread widely these days, it's normal to want to know more about it.

Even Fujishikibu couldn't help but want to look at the map.

At the same time, my mind was subconsciously thinking about how to remind everyone to keep things confidential.

After all, information about sirens and war cannot be revealed casually.

Suddenly, Fujishikibu realized something was wrong.

"I should have been the one advising everyone to focus on their duties..."

Fujishikibu thought to himself.

After considering it for a while, she decided not to dwell on it any longer.

She knew very well that Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't mind in this regard.

As long as everyone keeps their mouths shut, that's fine. And coincidentally, the people in the sleeping quarters are indeed very tight-lipped.

Then there's no problem.

Family dormitory.

As Makoto Shijo, Shogo, Maruo, Hiroto, and other fathers-in-law were summoned from the government office, Hikigaya, Ayanokoji, Horikita Manabu, and Shijo Tei also returned.

Once everyone was present, Kyosuke Kosaka began to speak.

"A major battle is about to take place in Kyoto. The enemy is the sea monsters from the sea. Their numbers and the exact timing of the battle are unknown, so everyone should prepare immediately..."

Kyosuke Kosaka slowly recounted the story.

At this moment.

This was arguably the most terrifying and severe crisis the country had ever faced.

It's true that the country could be destroyed at any moment.

However, he wasn't worried at all.

With the Sea Kingdom's strength nearly decimated and the artifact, the Cloud Mirror, now fully acquired, the Eight-Span Curved Jewel, capable of restraining Ōtakemaru, is finally obtained.

What's there to panic about?

Just take good care of the people around you.

"Then, Kyosuke-sama, what do we need to do?" Makoto asked directly after Kyosuke finished speaking.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "There's nothing for Mou to do. Ordinary firemen and guards are no longer qualified to participate in this battle. You just need to maintain order as usual."

"By the way, Kiyotaka, Hachi, Manabu, and Mikado still need to participate in the battle. It's an inescapable responsibility, so I won't say more."

"Yes!"×4

Ayanokoji, Hikigaya, Horikita Manabu, and Shijo Tei, whose names were called by Kousaka Kyosuke, quickly responded.

"You've just come back from the battlefield, so take a good rest," Kousaka Kyosuke added.

The group responded in unison, but did not move.

After all, the other members of the family hadn't finished speaking yet.

Subsequently, Shogo, Maruo, Hiroto, and others expressed their opinions.

Kyosuke Kousaka listened intently, nodding his head repeatedly.

honestly.

Bringing my fathers-in-law to the company meant they were there to do things, and fortunately, they were all very capable.

Time flies.

By evening.

Kyosuke Kosaka finally felt a little relieved after returning from the Prosecutor's Office.
