The story opened up with the narrator giving an explanation of the Imperial Court Positions in the Heian Era. It was said that most of them were hereditary meaning the child of a samurai became a samurai, the child of a musician became a musician, the child of a scholar became a scholar and of course the child of an onmyoji became an onmyoji.

Masahiro was doing chores for the Gagaku (Bureau of Music), Oiryo (Bureau of Palace Kitchen), and Kamoryo (Bureau of Housekeeping) Dormitories.

Mokkun remarked that onmyoji were paid to little for the work they do and suggested that Masahiro ride an Ajiro Cart instead of traveling on foot. Masahiro refused and said that his father and his Uncle Yoshihira also traveled on foot and there was no way he would use it regardless of his grandfather's official rank.

Mokkun said that was the point because onmyoji had special skill job, which were Star Reading, Astronomical Observation, Calendar Making, Blessing Prayer Performance, and Auspicious Judgement and sometimes they get in danger by exterminating Joyo (), which often translates to demons, monsters, and ghosts

They were then greeted by Masshiro’s father, Yoshimasa. Yoshimasa commented that Masahiro seemed to be doing well.

Masahiro informed Mokkun that his grandfather and father received individual requests from the High Lord, which were separate from the salary.

The narrator notified the reader that during that time period each of the great aristocrats had 44 talented onmyoji due to the fact that their fortune-telling skills could decide political situations. That was the reason why Seimei and Yoshimasa were close friends with Michinaga and Yukinari of the Fujiwara Clan.

Mokkun responded and said that was probably true with Seimei and Yoshimasa, but told Masahiro that he would be in charge of chores at the Onmyo Dormitory for a while.

There is a chart that listed the positions in the Onmyo Dormitory, which were:

Onmyo no Kami (陰陽頭) (Director of Onmyoryo)

Onmyo no Suke (陰陽助) ( Assistant Director of Onmyoryo)

Onmyo no Taizoku (陰陽大属) (Recordkeeper of Onmyoryo)

Onmyo no Shozoku (陰陽小属) (Assistant Recordkeeper of Onmyoryo)

Onmyo Hakase (陰陽博士) (Instructor of Onmyoryo)

Tenmon Hakase (天文博士) (Master of Astronomy)

Reki Hakase (曆博士) (Master of the Calendar)

Rokoku Hakase (漏刻博士) (Master of the Clock)

Gakusei Tokugōshō (学生得業生) (Talented Student)

Shibu Jikitei (使部直丁) (Direct Delivery Envoy)

Mokkun fussed at Masahiro saying that the Direct Delivery Envoy was even a low paying job within the Onmyo Dormitory and the reason why Seimei was just an Onmyo Student until his 40s was because the salary was not worth the work. Mokkun asked if Masahiro could do it.

Yoshimasa spoke up and said that it was true that Seimei had been a long-time Onmyo Student, but that was nearly 40 years ago and said that the country, the imperial court, and the Onmyo Dormitory continued to change.

After Masahiro wondered off Yoshimasa said that Mokkun shouldn’t threaten Masahiro too much because he was still a child.

Mokkun answered and said that Masahiro was much more courageous than he and Yoshihara as infants because Masahiro didn’t cry when he came near him. Mokkun added that because of that Masahiro was truly Seimei’s Grandson.

Yoshimasa thought about how Toda (Mokkun’s real name) never called him and his brother Yoshihara children of Seimei.

Masahiro noticed that his father was in deep thought and asked if Mokkun said anything rude to his father.

Mokkun got angry at this and Masahiro bade farewell to Yoshimasa and said that he will see him at home.

Masahiro announced in front of a crowd that he still wanted to be an Onmyoji and that it was the work of each individual that brought change. Then he swears that he would defeat Abe no Seimei.

Ota Motohiro (太田基裕) LINE LIVE Vol.4

Mokkun had his line live last monday! I’ve had some delay in posting due to exams but yay, back to fun times~

Here are some screen shots of his line live~~~

Mokkun introduced a strawberry short cake during the Mogu Mogu time segment, please enjoy pictures of how a beautiful man eats cake. V.V

Mokkun ate 2 spoonfuls and said it was enough, and gave it to the staff. They laughed and asked if he loves sweet stuff, he agreed. Omg only 2 spoonfuls, no wonder he’s got such a gorgeous waist line. XD

He asked the fans what cakes are recommended, he commented, “Ah, Quil Fait Bon, I ate a strawberry tart and it was so tall, it was a long time ago.” Quil Fait Bon is a cafe with really tasty fruit tarts.

Mokkun also recommends Angelina’s Mont Blanc, a chestnut cake with the right amount of cream.

After that was the Q&A segment.

Mokkun received a fan mail from a fan who said she spotted him at Kyoto station buying yogurt and commented that he had an impressive aura to him.

Mokkun was quite worried, he kept asking, what kind of aura? Is it a scary aura? Was I scary?

He felt worried that he didn’t leave a good impression. XD

The funny part came when he recalled what he was doing that time and acted out a scene of him being grumpy and buying yogurt while mumbling, “so tired, I want to go back quickly.” It was so cute! XD

Mokkun said it was probably when he was acting in Toumyu, whereby he always mentions that Toumyu tires him out a lot.

He line called a few fans and some of them were with their family and it seems their whole family likes Mokkun, that’s so nice!

Mokkun was wondering what pose to do so he played around with the filters a bit before deciding on a cool pose.
