In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

It took Usui Sadamitsu three calls to bring Ian back from his reverie.

"Godfather, what's wrong?"

"Ahem." Ian cleared his throat. "It's nothing."

"Zhenguang, where did you catch him?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing his father's words, Usui Sadamitsu pondered for a moment before replying.

"I received a message that there are man-eating mountain hags on a certain mountain."

"After I finished dealing with it, I saw this guy—he was still lying under a tree sleeping."

"..."

An answer that was both reasonable and unexpected.

After all, this didn't look like someone (or a ghost) to be trifled with, and if it weren't for this accident, there probably wouldn't have been a way to bring him back.

Ian thought for a moment, then asked:

"Zhenguang, has anything unusual happened along the way?"

“Returning to my godfather.”

Sadamitsu Usui glanced at Kintaro in the cage, his expression somewhat subtle.

"Nothing unusual has happened."

If I absolutely have to say something—

"He doesn't seem to realize that I've caught him... He smiles at me every now and then."

"This……"

You realize that something's slightly off about Kintaro in front of you.

You feel you must delve deeper into what's going on.

You've decided to spend some time talking to Kintaro alone.

"Zhenguang, you may leave now."

"I'd like to have a private talk with this guy."

Although he still had many doubts, Usui Sadamitsu knew that he had no right to Ian.

"Understood, Godfather."

Say goodbye, and then leave.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, leaving only Ian and Kintaro in the cage.

Following his own thoughts, he wanted to talk to the big guy in front of him—someone brought back from a supposedly haunted mountain deserved to be questioned.

But soon, the great Onmyoji discovered that this method would not work.

Because no matter what I say, the other person always responds with a slightly silly smile.

And a simple reply.

"Kintaro thinks it's right." — This is perhaps how Sadamitsu Usui named him.

And perhaps it is true, just as he said.

Kintaro had no idea he had been captured.

In this situation, how can we communicate with him?

You've decided not to waste any time for now.

You know you should look for new approaches.

You mentioned this to Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

at night.

"Eh?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was sitting next to Ian, seemed somewhat surprised.

"Zhenguang brought back someone who can't be communicated with?"

"yes……"

Ian looked up at the sky above him, and the image of Kintaro grinning foolishly appeared in his mind's eye.

He had a headache.

"No matter what question I asked, he answered me with the same behavior... which was really strange."

"This……"

Upon hearing Ian's words, Minamoto no Yorimitsu frowned and began to think seriously.

Soon, she had an idea.

"That husband——"

"Should we try communicating with him from a different angle?"

"From another angle?"

Ian looked at the person next to him in bed.

"Madam, what do you mean by this?"

"Think about it." Minamoto no Yorimitsu, lying on the pillow, looked directly at the man beside him.

"You want to communicate with him, but he just smiles at you like an idiot."

"That means this method won't work."

"And there are other ways to attract attention besides talking... If you show him something attractive enough, it will definitely have a similar effect."

"That way, we might be able to communicate?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words suddenly enlightened Ian.

"Madam, you are right."

"But this sounds like teasing a child."

"My husband, you are right."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not hide his thoughts.

"This is indeed what I have learned on my journey to becoming a mother."

"Husband, you said it."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Genji clan, and I absolutely cannot be weak."

"so--"

"Whether it's being a 'wife' or a 'mother,' I'm trying my best to learn how to do it."

[The couple with unusual talents has been upgraded to "Unusual Couple+": You've discovered that taking care of you as a "mother" seems to have become one of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's pillars of support.]

She derived a lot of enjoyment from it.

Her life became much more meaningful as a result.

You seem to think this isn't a bad thing.

Following Minamoto no Yorimitsu's plan, you intend to attract Kintaro's attention with objects.

To be fair.

If Kintaro really is a monster, then Ian wouldn't be so troubled.

After all, the birth of monsters is often inextricably linked to the "thoughts" they possess.

If you can find "Nian", then you won't be afraid of not being able to kill monsters, nor will you worry about not being able to communicate with them.

The problem is that Kintaro only looks like a monster.

The methods that Onmyoji are good at are completely ineffective for him.

and so--

To maximize the possibility of communication.

Ian prepared a lot of eye-catching things.

Jade, antiques, famous paintings, etc.

They are all things that are extremely easy to attract the attention of ordinary people.

Ian showed these items to Kintaro one by one, trying to facilitate communication in this way.

But things weren't as easy as they seemed.

These things, which are incredibly tempting to ordinary people, seem to have absolutely no meaning to Kintaro.

He just watched silently as Ian swept them past his eyes, then let out bursts of silly laughter.

He meant no harm.

But for a great Onmyoji, it was something that was hard to accept.

Ian realized that the man in front of him seemed to be in a mentally unstable state—he might even be worse than a child.

Is it going to fail again?

Just as Ian was thinking this, things took a turn for the better.

That was the last tool he had prepared—a piece of gold.

Ian hadn't initially planned to bring it along.

I simply brought it along because I thought I wouldn't lose out by taking it.

but--

Ian quickly noticed that Kintaro was interested in it.
