After Kojiruyu Hachi was discovered, they had always been the center of attention.
The Kojiyu Family, one of the Four Great Onmyoji families, was far more mysterious compared to the Tsuchimikado, Hanakaiin Court, and Kusakabe families.
Not to mention ordinary people—even members of the 'Inside World' rarely got to meet them.
Adding to this was the fact that the Kojiyu Family specialized in 'divination,' which attracted increasingly intense gazes.
Those gazes carried both inquiry and greed.
Especially the latter.
It was almost tangible.
Yet they were each carefully hidden in silence.
But in reality?
It was like charcoal in the snow—a piece of black amidst the white that could never be truly concealed. The more one tried to hide it, the more conspicuous it became.
And in certain respects, the situation was the same.
Because the people around them were all the same.
They all bore the same gaze.
They all had the same expression.
