When everything was almost finished, Ian began to sigh with emotion.

Is this still my old room?

It's incredible.

“Master.” Minamoto no Yorimitsu’s voice came from the side.

"I think this is the place you should live, what do you think?"

Ian gave a wry smile.

"probably."

"But I must say, Lai Guang, you are really amazing. You were able to handle everything so well in such a short time."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu readily accepted the praise from Ian—it seemed to her to be an unparalleled honor.

"But to be honest, it's because I feel from the bottom of my heart that my master deserves all of this, which is why I'm so motivated."

"Master, please wait here for a moment."

"There is one more thing I must do for you."

"What is it?" Ian asked, puzzled. "Didn't we already finish everything we were supposed to do?"

“No.” Minamoto no Yorimitsu shook his head.

"Those are all trivial matters."

"And what I'm about to do is what truly expresses my respect."

"Master——"

"Please let me help you into the bath."

111. Bathing Service from Minamoto no Yorimitsu (4,000-word chapter)

How did you find this place?

Ian looked at the waterfall in front of him and the stream below it, feeling somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was just saying it casually, but he never expected that she would actually bring him to such a place that he had never seen before.

"I found it by chance this morning when I was preparing those things for Master."

"It felt like a great place to take a bath, so I made a mental note of it."

Looking at the scenery before him, Minamoto no Yorimitsu replied in this way.

You know that Minamoto no Yorimitsu wasn't lying.

But at the same time, you can also sense that something is wrong with the waterfall in front of you.

[You have acquired the gift of anxiety: The changes in the landscape are no accident; they contain many secrets, and you sense something approaching.]

However, you didn't say anything.

Because there are things you want to know more about than this.

"Master, please raise your hand a little higher."

"That way, it will be easier for me to wipe your body."

"Ah."

Ian slowly raised his hands, his shoulders level in a straight line, like a scarecrow standing in a field.

Then, a pair of slender, fair hands slipped under his armpits and, with a slight movement, removed the large robe.

Praises followed.

"Master, you must have a habit of practicing your skills in the mountains and rivers, right?"

"Although he is an Onmyoji, his physique is in no way inferior to that of a samurai."

"If someone like you joined an army, you might become a renowned and formidable general, wouldn't you?"

"is it?"

Ian gave a wry smile.

"But unfortunately, I am just an Onmyoji."

"It's ok."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at the back of the man in front of him.

"What I need is you, as an Onmyoji."

Pulling up his sleeves, Minamoto no Yorimitsu soaked the towel he had prepared in advance in water to make it soft.

"Master, please let me know immediately if you feel unwell."

After saying this, Minamoto no Yorimitsu gently wiped Ian's arm with a towel.

"Is this level of force acceptable?"

"Yeah, just right."

You weren't specifically praising Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Despite being a martial artist, she possessed a delicate heart that was the complete opposite of her fierce nature.

You could even feel that the towel she had prepared in advance was already coated with herbs.

That's a scent that can make you feel relaxed, both physically and mentally.

This is definitely not a solution that can be come up with on a whim.

You realize that perhaps on the way back with you, Minamoto no Yorimitsu had already begun plotting something.

And this is the response to her thoughts.

The towel slid across the man's arm, leaving a damp mark.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu took all of this very seriously.

This is her way of showing "respect" to her master.

Despite knowing that the other party had ulterior motives, Ian couldn't help but feel touched by their sincerity.

"Yakou."

"Yes, Master."

"You said you wanted to kill the ghost, right?"

When Ian asked this question, Minamoto no Yorimitsu paused for a moment, then quickly resumed his previous hand position.

"Yes, Master, I want to kill the ghost."

"To be precise, it's not just about killing ghosts; I want to deal with all strange things besides ghosts as well."

"A very ambitious goal," Ian commented.

"But such an ambition can't be just a passing fancy, can it?"

"Lai Guang, I haven't heard you formally introduce your background yet—since you come from the capital and have such a noble surname, you must have something special about you, right?"

"..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu remained silent for a while, but did not avoid the question.

She gently took Ian's other hand and wiped it with a towel in the same gentle way.

"Just as you said, Master, my surname is not something that ordinary people can have."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Seiwa Genji clan, and I bear the destiny of revitalizing the family."

"This kind of pressure forced me to take action."

Although Ian had not actively sought to understand the status of the "Seiwa Genji," it was easy to see from the tone of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's self-narration that she was very proud of it.

Based on this inference, this is probably not a small family.

"The eldest daughter?"

"No wonder he can always do things perfectly."

"Master, you flatter me."

“This is not a compliment,” Ian said, changing the subject, “but simply a concern.”

"If you are truly burdened with such a fate, then you should understand that someone like me is incapable of doing anything for you."

"You should seek out someone who can offer you advice, not an Onmyoji like me."

"unless--"

"What are you hiding from me?"

The meaning you're trying to convey is quite clear.

You believe Minamoto no Yorimitsu's account of his background, but you also believe it has absolutely no connection to your identity as an Onmyoji.

If she wants to continue the conversation, she needs to provide a sufficiently convincing explanation.
