Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"No need, no need to be so serious. I'm here to treat everyone, not to inspect the place."

Yingcao, who had been quite natural at first, suddenly panicked.

It was probably the serious atmosphere that made her feel uncomfortable.

“Lord Yingcao, if we are more orderly, you will be able to finish your work faster,” Xingge stepped forward and replied.

As the most senior captain on the field, Xingge is very suitable to represent the various musicians and singers in negotiations.

"Yes……"

Yingcao met Xingge's calm gaze and gently echoed his words, feeling somewhat disheartened.

She had come all this way, and she actually wanted to hear everyone play music.

But everyone seemed to think she was very busy... Actually, she wasn't that busy. She was just having breakfast and chatting with everyone.

Yes, Yingcao and her companions will no longer be on patrol duty for the next few days.

Kyosuke Kosaka has already activated one layer of the barrier, so the number of guards can be reduced. At this time, most of the personnel who were previously on guard duty are resting or training, and their time has become very free and ample.

“Each person should proceed in an orderly manner.”

Seeing that Yingcao had agreed, Xingge began to direct each band member to receive treatment from Yingcao.

These past few days, each band member has been very active, which has made their hands very tired and even caused some obvious damage.

Fortunately, this kind of damage is something that Yingcao can easily resolve.

"It's really cute."

Ritsu Tainaka had an expression of enjoyment on his face.

“Yes,” Hirasawa Yui’s eyes sparkled, “I really want to touch Lady Yingcao.”

Akiyama Mio looked utterly exasperated: "Please, stop this! Calm down!"

She looked to Captain Kotobuki for help, only to find, to her dismay, that Kotobuki was smiling at Yingcao, looking completely fascinated.

"Mio-senpai, we can only rely on each other now. We have to keep a close eye on everyone."

Nakano Azusa realized early on that she couldn't rely on others, so she proposed forming an alliance with Akiyama Mio to ensure that the other companions wouldn't cause trouble.

Okay! Let's do our best together!

Akiyama Mio also accepted the reality that her other companions were unreliable and planned to work with Nakano Azusa to stabilize the situation.

Rumble rumble rumble~

Before I knew it, the gloomy weather began to rumble with suppressed thunder, and it was pitch black outside.

A group of people in the spacious training area were plunged into a hazy darkness. PA-san, who was in charge of managing the lights, turned on the solar-powered lights, and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter.

PA-san hopes for sunshine in the next few days, otherwise there will be no light source brighter than a candle to use.

Using candles would be wasteful, as candles are quite precious.

"It's so bright," many people exclaimed in hushed tones.

Many newcomers are unaware that the band's headquarters has such modern facilities.

"Hey, Yingcao! We're here too! Who else should I bring?"

A lively voice broke the slightly quiet atmosphere.

Countless people turned towards the source of the sound and immediately saw a girl with rabbit ears. She wasn't alone; there were also women carrying long swords, women carrying longbows... and even a man?!

Some people, though unable to see the man's face clearly from a distance, already knew who he was.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

"Kyosuke-sama!!"

A flock of orioles and swallows.

The man walking forward, Kyosuke Kosaka, appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly somewhat flustered.

In just a few days, the band has expanded so much, and it's all women. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was building a harem, but where would he get so many kidneys?

"This is bad, this is bad, I want to turn around and leave."

For some reason, Kyosuke Kosaka thought of a story about a man who went to an island where everyone was a woman.

Right now, he might be in that kind of situation.

To be honest, Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want to be so high-profile.

I was just chatting with a few shikigami who are busy with their daily work when I mentioned the band, and things gradually turned out this way.

Thinking of how much Yaodaoji, Bailang, Yingcao, Yamausagi, and the others had done for him these past few days, he decided to grant their wish and let them listen to each band's signature songs.

The key is for Kyosuke Kousaka to stay with them.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that this was the most important point.

"Lord Kyosuke?" After finishing treating the person, Yingcao jogged over, her face full of doubt.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "You've all worked so hard these past few days, so let's celebrate today. We'll listen to some music and go to the shopping district..."

No need—

Yingcao, who instinctively wanted to refuse, suddenly realized something and immediately shut her mouth. She cautiously glanced at her other companions and, sure enough, found that the lively mountain rabbit was already making a "no" gesture to her.

"Okay, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Kyosuke-sama," Yingcao replied.

"Yes, that's exactly the kind of momentum we need."

Kousaka Kyosuke was slightly taken aback, but outwardly showed no sign of anything amiss, and reached out to pat Yingcao's head.

This child isn't so weak after all; he has indeed gained a lot of courage.

A faint, fresh scent of green plants wafted into his nose. Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Yingcao with slight surprise, thinking to himself that Yingcao used to blush and emit a fragrance. He had never noticed before... No, this was a perverted act. He couldn't think about it anymore!

416. The Shikigami's Rest / Kinara in Kyoto / Kousaka? Reina? / It's time to come.

After speaking with Yingcao, Kousaka Kyosuke led his men to sit down at the edge of the training ground.

Otherwise, one would be suspected of ruining the atmosphere.

Of course, even though the group had gone to a rather far place, the surroundings remained quiet.

This is why Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't like to appear in public.

They're all so cautious and timid; I bet even communication would be a problem for them.

"Nobody's saying anything."

The mountain rabbit watched as everyone lined up quietly, waiting for Yingcao's treatment, and felt rather bored.

She thought it would be lively and bustling here, but this is what happened.

Upon careful consideration, she immediately understood the reason.

“Even if I leave, it will still be the same,” Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly said.

Yamausagi blinked: "Mr. Kyosuke, I didn't say anything."

"Your thoughts are written all over your face."

"You can't guess what a girl is thinking."

"Well……"

When Kyosuke Kousaka heard Yamausagi refer to himself as a "girl," he felt quite strange and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Yoto Hime and Hakuro.

Both Yaodaoji and Bailang sat upright, already drinking tea, seemingly unmoved.

"Alright, let me ask who you'd like to hear first?" Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze first fell on Yoto Hime.

As the most senior member, it is most appropriate for Yaodaoji to ask her first.

"I also can."

"This is just like a chef asking a diner what they want to eat, and the diner replies that it's anything, which is very frustrating."

"Then... please allow me to think about it."

"You guys discuss this, and I'll just make some musical instruments while I'm at it."

Kousaka Kyosuke noticed that Hakuro and Yamausagi were frequently glancing at him and Yoto Hime, and realized that both of them were very interested.

Even though they do work related to combat, it doesn't mean that everyone is really tough.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's more girlish than most girls.

"What style should we choose?" Yaodao-hime asked Yamausagi and Hakuro for their opinions.

Yamausagi scratched his head: "Anyway, I have plenty of time, so it doesn't seem to matter what kind of music I listen to."

White Wolf looked on seriously, pondering for several seconds before answering.

"I don't think so. There's an order to listening to music. Right now, the songs in the manor are divided into classical and rock styles, with rock, characterized by strong rhythms, wild vocals, and unrestrained guitar playing, being the mainstream..."

Yaodaoji and Yingcao listened blankly.
