Kapitel 457: -451- The obvious held back
Afterward, Tsuchimikado Yasuzumi and Kurahashi Genji resumed their conversation in the Tsuchimikado family residence.
Tsuchimikado Takahiro and Tsuchimikado Chizuru did not follow them but left together with Rozen.
Kurahashi Kyouko seemed to be allowed to move freely as well, no longer staying with Kurahashi Genji.
It was said that the Kurahashi father-daughter pair, would only stay until evening and then return to Tokyo.
Tokyo was the headquarters of the Onmyou Agency and also the base for many prestigious Onmyouji clans, including the Kurahashi clan.
However, Tokyo was also plagued by spiritual disasters, often experiencing various supernatural occurrences, which restricted the activities of Onmyouji to that region.
Thanks to this, Tokyo had practically become the birthplace of Onmyouji, gathering numerous practitioners in this chaotic place, which garnered a lot of attention compared to these deserted rural areas.
Kurahashi Genji and Kurahashi Kyouko would leave in the evening and return to Tokyo.
After they left, Tsuchimikado Takahiro and Tsuchimikado Chizuru would also depart, of course, taking Natsume and Harutora with them.
Rozen took the opportunity to inform them about Natsume's illness, which caused Tsuchimikado Chizuru's face to turn extremely pale.
She exclaimed, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" and then rushed away, seemingly to see Natsume.
On the other hand, Tsuchimikado Takahiro just stood there, wearing a wry smile.
"She's already a mother of two children, and yet she's always in such a hurry."
Tsuchimikado Takahiro muttered this way but didn't show any signs of displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled faintly.
"Uncle, aren't you going to check on Natsume?" Rozen reminded him.
"I'll go see her later," Tsuchimikado Takahiro shook his head. "It's just a bit of turbulence in her spiritual energy. Chizuru should be able to correct it with healing talismans. I'll check on Natsume later tonight."
Upon hearing this, Rozen remembered this aspect of the situation. Healing talismans referred to paper charms inscribed with healing spells. When used by the patient, they could quickly mend external injuries and recover their health.
Experienced Onmyouji could modify the spell slightly to allow healing talismans to also correct, repair, and enhance spiritual energy, so Tsuchimikado Takahiro, being an Onmyou Doctor, should have this capability.
In that case, even if Chizuru didn't possess this particular skill, she could still use readily available healing talismans.
"If I knew, I would have just asked a Shikigami to bring some from Uncle and Aunt's house," Rozen said with some regret.
"Shikigami?"
Tsuchimikado Takahiro stroked his chin, looking at Rozen with a hint of curiosity.
"Come to think of it, you didn't seem to use any Shikigami in the jujutsu combat, did you?"
Tsuchimikado Takahiro had finally noticed this point.
Upon careful consideration, Rozen had indeed only used talisman during the recent magical battle and hadn't employed any Shikigami or other abilities.
In other words, Rozen had deliberately held back.
During the Jujutsu combat with Kurahashi Genji, Rozen had indeed lost.
However, he felt satisfied.
Because Rozen had at least learned the strength of the "Twelve Divine Generals."
After all, the top-tier Onmyouji in this world, including the "Twelve Divine Generals," stood at its pinnacle.
Kurahashi Genji, as the leader of the Twelve Divine Generals, might not be the strongest among them, but he was certainly not the weakest. Learning about this world's pinnacle of power, Rozen had no reason to be dissatisfied.
At least, Rozen could use this knowledge as a basis for deciding whether to act cautiously or boldly in this world in the future.
For this reason, Rozen wanted to engage in a jujutsu combat with Kurahashi Genji to witness the strength of a national-level Onmyouji.
As for losing the combat, Rozen didn't mind at all.
After all, in that battle, he had not even used ten percent of his true abilities.
He hadn't employed his ace skill, "Summoning," nor had he used his well-practiced Shikigami abilities.
He hadn't even utilized the Eight Tiers of a Magus, and furthermore, his magical circuits weren't fully opened. He had only used basic spells he had learned long ago. Considering he had shown only this level of power, there was nothing to regret.
If others knew that Rozen had displayed only this level of power in the recent jujutsu combat, which had astounded the leader of the Twelve Divine Generals and the prestigious Tsuchimikado clan, they would surely be amazed.
Leaving aside everything else, just the fact that basic spells he had learned long ago could display such formidable strength without further practice was incredible.
Of course, Tsuchimikado Takahiro couldn't possibly know that Rozen had abilities like "Summoning Magic" and "Puppetry Arts" at his disposal.
He was also unaware of Rozen's Eight Tiers of a Magus skill and the fact that Rozen's magical circuits weren't fully opened.
However, he did at least know that Rozen had not used Shikigami.
"Even if it's a simple Shikigami, using them in battle is common for Onmyouji. With your level of ability, you should at least be able to create basic Shikigami, right?"
Tsuchimikado Takahiro questioned Rozen.
He noted that Shikigami were an important part of an Onmyouji's strength. Using a Shikigami to aid in battle could significantly enhance one's power. If the Shikigami was formidable enough, even surpassing its master, it could lead to an explosive increase in the Onmyouji's combat capabilities.
Rozen had not summoned any Shikigami during the battle, which puzzled Tsuchimikado Takahiro.
However, Rozen responded straightforwardly,
"Would it be useful? Even if I could use simple Shikigami, I wouldn't stand a chance against the head of the Kurahashi family, who is also the leader of the Twelve Divine Generals. He'll likely have powerful Shikigami, right?"
Rozen knew that even if he summoned basic Shikigami, he wouldn't win against the likes of the Kurahashi family's head.
Tsuchimikado Takahiro seemed to consider something and mumbled to himself,
"Maybe it's time to give you that, but is it too early?"
Rozen was taken aback by this statement. "Give me what?"
But Tsuchimikado Takahiro didn't provide an answer.
He shrugged and said, "Never mind. I'll go check on Natsume now. You take care of yourself, okay?"
Rozen was left puzzled but nodded in acknowledgment. "Sure, I'll be careful."
As Tsuchimikado Takahiro departed, Rozen turned to head back to the training grounds, ready to resume his practice.
However, his attention was suddenly drawn to a figure in the courtyard.
He furrowed his brows and said, "It's her?"
