"Moreover, it was less rude and more unexpected."

"Accident?"

“Yes.” Ian nodded. “I didn’t expect that you, Lai Guang, would still be thinking about these things.”

"Yes, it is."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu lowered his head, looking very shy.

“Master, I have been thinking about it every moment for the past six months.”

"I know it's foolish to nag you like a complaining woman... so only today have I dared to speak my mind."

"However, Master, if you feel that such a request is too much, please pretend that I never mentioned it."

"From now on, I will still serve you well."

"..."

Ian looked at her and fell silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Lai Guang, is this really what you truly desire?"

“Yes, Master.” Minamoto no Yorimitsu said without the slightest hesitation, “Please do not doubt my resolve.”

"I decided to open up to you after thinking about it for more than half a year."

"alright, I got it."

Ian smiled.

"Now that you say so."

“After you, Raikou, kill ‘Nurikabe,’ I will propose to your father that I marry you.”

"but--"

Whether he agrees or not is beyond my control.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu never expected Ian to agree so quickly—she thought she was sure she would be rejected.

After all, he seemed so indifferent to women.

The martial artist's ethereal purple eyes were filled with disbelief at what he had just said.

However, she soon realized that this was a rare opportunity.

She shook her head and shouted:

"Will not!"

"If Master is willing to marry me, I will persuade Father no matter what, even if it means threatening to kill myself!"

"Lai Guang, you can't do this."

Ian reached out and gently stroked his apprentice's hair.

"It is foolish to use someone's concern to threaten them."

"And before that, let's kill the demons that should be killed first."

"Yes!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu began preparing his plan to kill 'Nurikabe'.

As a meaningful tribute, she requests that you refrain from offering any guidance this time, allowing her to defeat the monster alone.

You agreed to this.

[The warrior's affection has faded: You realize that Minamoto no Yorimitsu has grown much faster than you imagined, and she has her own ideas.]

You are very happy about this.

[Because breaking free from dependence on others is an essential step in the growth of an Onmyoji.]

After all, it's impossible to have companions by your side every single moment.

"Tubi" is a kind of ghost or monster that hides in walls.

Its combat power is not very high, but it is difficult to identify.

The conventional approach is to find a suspicious wall and then use destructive tools to completely destroy it.

This will be an extremely chaotic process.

After all, Tu Bi wouldn't just sit and wait to die; he would definitely flee in all directions.

This is a subjugation that will severely test the skills of an Onmyoji.

But Ian soon discovered that Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not intend to do so.

She chose to pour the talisman water directly onto the paint used to renovate the walls, and then, under the pretext of repairs, made the walls in Kyoto unsuitable for "painted walls" to survive.

This is a more comprehensive approach.

The moment the shadow emerged from the wall, Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled with delight.

"Master, I did it."

"Yeah, you did."

The deceased "Nurikabe" is not only proof of the agreement between the two, but also a symbol of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's completion of his training.

[The gifted master of the Minamoto clan has been lost: You are no longer Minamoto no Yorimitsu's master, but she still holds you in high esteem.]

Tu Bi was killed.

[As agreed, it is time for you to propose marriage to Minamoto no Yorimitsu to Minamoto no Mitsunaka.]

You've chosen a good day.

You shaved, tied your hair back, and straightened your clothes, making yourself look as elegant as possible.

[While Minamoto no Yorimitsu had previously stated that there was no need to worry, and that even if you failed, she would still try her best.]

But when it really came down to it, she actually started to get nervous.

"Master."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu nestled in Ian's arms, whispering softly.

"The day has finally come."

“Yes, the day you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived,” Ian replied.

"Master——"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu tugged at Ian's clothes.

"Although I really hope to marry you."

"But if your father intends to make things difficult for you, your master can give up on the spot."

"It is enough for me to know that you once had the idea of ​​marrying me."

"Lai Guang, why would you think that?"

Ian rubbed her forehead with his hand, brushing aside the bangs on her forehead.

"Then I must tell you one more rule."

"Onmyoji cannot have the thought of giving up, otherwise they will be backfired by all the karma from the past."

"Lai Guang, wait for my good news."

"……Um."

Under Minamoto no Yorimitsu's gaze, you entered Minamoto no Mitsunaka's room.

He was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, wiping the knife in his hand.

His expression was focused and serious, the strength in his brows suggesting he was engaged in a contest with something.

This is the first time you've seen him like this.

“Master,” Ian called out.

"It is you."

Minamoto no Manaka raised his head and then placed the knife in his hand on the side of the knife holder.

"sit down."

"Thank you, sir."

Ian chose a spot that kept a certain distance from Minamoto no Manchu.

This way, you can show him respect while clearly stating your requirements.

Yuan Manzhong looked at Ian in front of him.

Although he is over fifty years old, the charisma hidden in his eyes has not diminished in the slightest.

This is the spirit of a great general ingrained in his very being.

"Abe, what do you want with me?" he asked.

Ian, on the other hand, went straight to the point and stated his thoughts.

"master."

"I want to marry Lai Guang."

"..."

Yuan Manzhong stared at him, remaining silent for a long time before finally replying:

"Abe, do you know what you're saying?"

“I know,” Ian said without the slightest hesitation.

"But I just want to marry Lai Guang."

You probably thought that after you said that, Minamoto no Mitsunaka would be furious.

After all, when he saw you holding Minamoto no Yorimitsu's hand, he almost stabbed you in the head with a knife.
