Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and said calmly to Nurarihyon.

"You shall leave Kyoto immediately and return to your own territory."

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Nurarihyon breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be best if things didn't come to a point of mutual destruction.

From Rio Futaba's attitude, Nurarihyon obtained a very important piece of information.

The three people opposite him possessed special abilities he had never seen before. They were not the kind of traditional Onmyoji who were conservative in their thinking and would immediately kill any Onmyoji they saw, regardless of whether the Onmyoji had committed any crimes.

Having confirmed this, Nurarihyon glanced out of the corner of his eye at the thousands of pure black weapons in the sky, formed from the power of evil spirits, and his mind began to wander.

If that's the case...

Is it possible for me to establish a cooperative relationship with the other party in some sense?

The Nura Clan is currently facing its most difficult period.

The first commander-in-chief, Nurarihyon, is old and has had his heart taken away. Even if he can briefly return to his youthful appearance, his power is ultimately limited.

Rikuo Nura, who has only one-quarter yokai blood, is clearly not ready to take over the position of the third-generation Supreme Commander.

At times like these, it would be wonderful to be able to work with someone as powerful as him, whether he is called an exorcist or an Onmyoji.

In short, if they can reach an agreement with the other party, the Nura Clan will have an extra layer of insurance for crucial moments.

Thinking of this, Nurarihyon stood up from his chair, revealing a kind and friendly smile, and slowly began to speak.

"I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to the three of you by this misunderstanding. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them, as a token of my apology."

"I do have one request."

Yoruichi stood up, walked to Nurarihyon, and slowly extended his right hand...

It was placed on the back of the other person's head.

The Nura Clan yokai in the distance were dumbfounded.

Even Nurarihyon, the person involved, had a very interesting expression, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What a peculiar structure! It even has spiral patterns."

Yoruichi continued to comment while stroking Nurarihyon's bald head.

Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya exchanged a glance, then sighed helplessly, rubbing their foreheads.

As expected of you.

After stroking Nurarihyon's head, Yohoshi placed his right arm on the back of Nurarihyon's head.

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

Based on the height difference between the two, and the shape of Nurarihyon's head.

This move is simply a perfect fit.

Seeing their leader being used as a figurehead by Yoruichi, the Nura Clan members remained silent.

The demon seemed to want to say something.

But when he glanced at the thousands of black weapons formed from the power of evil spirits floating in the sky, he could only swallow back the words that were about to come out.

Forced by circumstances, we had no choice but to bow our heads.

Regarding the issue of compensation...

Yoruichi pondered for a moment, then smiled at Nurarihyon.

"Your Nura Clan must have collected quite a few weapons with spiritual power over the years, right? Pick a few suitable ones and send them over."

Upon hearing this request, Nurarihyon finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"no problem."

For the Nura Clan, which has been established for hundreds of years, there are far too many weapons with spiritual power.

Yoruichi himself didn't need it, as he already had Onimaru Kunitsuna.

The main focus is on updating and iterating the equipment for Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba.

After all, the long sword sponsored by Oda Nobunaga was only an ordinary spiritual item and was no longer a good match for Yotsuya Miko's current strength.

Let's have the newly promoted Nobunaga Nura sponsor another weapon.

"that's it."

Nurarihyon seemed somewhat surprised that Yohoshi did not make any further demands.

"That's it?"

"What, you want to give me more?"

"No no no."

Nurarihyon waved his hands repeatedly, thinking that even if the Nura Clan was very wealthy, he would still feel bad about giving away the spirit.

"I just don't quite understand..."

"What's so hard to understand?"

Yoruichi waved his hand dismissively, interrupting Nurarihyon's words.

"Futaba and Miko have both said that although your Nura Clan are all yokai, from a certain perspective, they maintain the stability of the yokai world and are like allies of humanity."

“Killing you here will do me no good.”

"There is no reason for us to fight to the death."

At this point, Yoruichi suddenly changed the subject, looking directly into Nurarihyon's eyes, and said in a calm tone.

"However, I wouldn't mind going to your home turf, Ukiyo-e Town, for a large-scale hunt to slaughter monsters, understand?"

Nurarihyon immediately replied.

"This was a misunderstanding, and it will never happen again."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing's expression changed faster than flipping through a book, instantly reverting to a kind smile, and he nodded.

"That's good."

Nurarihyon's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Although the process was a bit tortuous.

But Nurarihyon still accomplished his initial goal of bringing his subordinates to Kyoto.

That is to ascertain the attitude of the Onmyoji in this city towards the yokai race.

Now it seems that Ye Xing's personality is unpredictable, with his manic and excited state during battles and his abstract and frivolous way of speaking, but none of that matters.

As long as it's not the kind of extreme personality that harbors intense hatred for monsters and kills every monster they see without distinguishing right from wrong, it's fine.

"I think..."

Nurarihyon cautiously probed.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, can we sign a contract to establish a relationship of mutual trust?

As he said this, Nurarihyon noticed that the eight-foot-tall man and the goat-headed deity not far away both had very interesting, gloating expressions on their faces.

He was very puzzled.

Did I say something strange?

"The contract..."

Upon hearing those two words, Yoruichi revealed a meaningful smile and patted Nurarihyon on the back of the head.

"Then let's sign one."

.......

After half an hour.

Nurarihyon was practically helped away from the shrine by his yokai subordinates.

He felt his legs go weak, his vision blurred, and his chest felt tight.

It wasn't because he and Ye Xing had another fight.

It was because Nurarihyon had just signed a contract that was nothing short of exploitative.

Clause 1: Of all the spirit weapons collected by the Nura Clan over the past few centuries, Yoruichi may choose five items, including Nura Nurarihyon's own sword, Miyagirimaru.

Clause 2: No yokai of the Nura Clan may enter the territory of Kyoto City without permission.

Clause 3: No one in the Nura Clan is allowed to reveal what happened today.

Clause 4: All information collected by the Nura Clan regarding strange phenomena must be truthfully reported to the Xyz Society without any concealment.

.......

These four terms, which were extremely unequal to the Nura Clan, were exchanged for a promise from Yoruhoshi.

"Do not launch attacks against any yokai or humans belonging to the Nura Clan."

It’s just such a simple sentence.

Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba were both dumbfounded.

Good heavens, even monsters want to be exploited?

This is even more excessive than the original eight feet!

Even an eight-foot-tall adult like him still gets a salary.

The reason why Nurarihyon signed this contract can only be described as having no other choice.

On the one hand, it is true that the Nura Clan invaded Kyoto's territory first, which was tantamount to a provocative act.

on the other hand...

Yoruhoshi is surprisingly knowledgeable about the internal affairs of the Nura Clan, even knowing the cause of death of the second-generation leader and the name of the Nura Clan's only current successor, Rikuo Nura.

This made Nurarihyon wary.
