How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

I didn't realize this little guy was such a foodie.

P.S.: *The Self-Cultivation of the Team Rocket Prince*

Brief introduction: My name is Gin Sakaki, I'm 12 years old. I live in Viridian City in the Kanto region, and the boss of Team Rocket is my biological father.

I help my father with many things and relieve his burden.

I infiltrated the alliance as an undercover agent and worked diligently. Two years later, the security rate in the entire Kanto region reached a new high.

I pioneered several new business avenues for the Sakaki Foundation, successfully making our Silph Company the largest exporter of otaku culture in the Kanto region.

As a dutiful son of the Rockets, I'm still eager to share my father's burdens and will never leave my dad with fatigue and stress. My dad even asks me why I'm still alive.

Chapter 205, Section 208: She's still a child.

However, after ordering a lot of delicious food, Princess Goldfish seemed to remember something very important. So she put her hands on her hips, pouted her lips, and said very seriously, "That's right, there can't be any sashimi."

"I hate it."

"Sashimi?"

The boys and girls were slightly taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding what it meant, but they quickly realized what it meant.

Sashimi is made from fish, and eating sashimi is like eating your own kind, which is probably why she said that.

Upon realizing this, all four of them laughed.

"Hmm, no sashimi." Gently ruffling the little one's hair, Shimizu Asahi asked, "Besides what we just ate, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"Really? Hehe, that's enough, we can't eat any more."

Having received a positive response, Princess Goldfish sat up straight with a grin, then swung her short legs while looking forward to the food that was about to be served.

While waiting, Princess Goldfish suddenly remembered the conversation from earlier. So, she turned her head and said triumphantly, "Oh right, I remember you said you had something to ask me, right? Hehe, I'm very happy now. I can help you with anything. So, what is it?"

"This...actually..."

Faced with Princess Goldfish's words, Shimizu Asahi hesitated slightly. The current atmosphere was not suitable for saying such things.

The little one had finally cheered up, so bringing this up now would only make her feel upset and upset.

He had already planned to talk about it tomorrow or the day after...

But then, perhaps sensing Shimizu Asahi's hesitation, Qing Nufang suddenly reached out her cool little hand and placed it on the back of his hand.

The boy was slightly surprised. He turned his head and looked at him with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

However, he was met with a silent gaze.

Qingnufang didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, her pale yellow eyes as calm as a clear spring.

"......I see."

Although the girl didn't speak or show any emotional fluctuation, Shimizu Asahi could deeply feel her thoughts and support.

With Qingnufang's affirmation, he made up his mind.

He nodded slightly to the blue-haired girl, then looked back at Princess Goldfish.

His conflicted expression turned extremely serious, and the boy stated the truth with a hint of heaviness...

Before long, Shimizu Asahi recounted the entire story.

As expected, Princess Goldfish screamed upon learning the truth of the matter.

"Eh!??"

"Your real purpose is to go to the Sea Kingdom!?"

Princess Goldfish's eyes widened in surprise. She never imagined that Shimizu Asahi and the others' goal was to go to the Sea Kingdom!

"I knew you misunderstood yesterday, but I didn't tell you right away. Now I'm asking you for information... I'm so sorry, Princess Goldfish."

Qingshui Chaoyang apologized with some guilt.

"This, this... Oh dear, how am I supposed to choose?"

The little guy looked deeply troubled.

She knew about the potential crisis facing Heian-kyo and understood how important this operation was to Shimizu Asahi and the others. However, she also learned that Ōtakemaru and Arakawa no Nushi were good friends. Although Arakawa no Nushi often bullied her, he was the only one who would not laugh at her and would encourage her. Both of them were her friends, and no matter which one she chose, it would be a betrayal of the other.

She simply can't make a decision.

"We're so sorry, Princess Goldfish, but this is very important to us, so..."

Seeing the Goldfish Princess in a dilemma, Ali spoke softly.

Meanwhile, Qingnvfang and Ibuki-dōji's gazes also fell on her.

Faced with the four people's requests, the little girl became increasingly conflicted. She sat on the wooden chair, feeling increasingly agitated.

Why did things suddenly turn out this way? We were supposed to be happily having dinner with friends, but now we're faced with a choice...

Ugh, no matter what I choose, it won't work!

Seeing the Goldfish Princess caught in a deep dilemma, Shimizu Asahi remained silent for a moment before gently saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now, Goldfish Princess. No matter what you choose, we will always be your friends, so don't worry too much, just follow your heart."

"Let's eat."

The topic shift was rather forced, and Goldfish Princess looked at him with a slightly aggrieved expression before finally giving a soft "hmm".

Ah Li and the other two were a little confused about why, but since Shimizu Asahi decided not to continue, they couldn't continue the conversation either. So, the topic that had made the atmosphere silent and oppressive just passed by.

However, since the choice had already been made, Princess Goldfish could not easily forget it, and the meal was completely silent from beginning to end.

After finishing her meal, Princess Goldfish said goodbye to them and then left in a hurry.

She is still struggling with how to choose.

Watching her departing figure, Shimizu Asahi suddenly felt a pang of regret. Regardless of whether Princess Goldfish had the information he wanted, he shouldn't have unwittingly put so much pressure on her.

"It was my oversight..."

With a soft sigh, Shimizu Asahi looked at the three girls and said, "Let's start with the Lord of Arakawa. We can't drag Princess Goldfish into our affair with the Lord of Arakawa."

“That little one is still a child; this is not the kind of pressure she should be under.”

“Indeed, that child is very kind. She wants to help us, but she can’t ignore the Lord of Arakawa… We’ve taken it all for granted before.”

Ah Li also felt a little guilty. She wondered if it was because she no longer had to observe others after leaving Li Ren Ge that her reactions had become sluggish.

She shouldn't have spoken just now.

"Let's apologize to her about this later."

Qingnufang also made this suggestion with some concern.

"Okay, that's decided."

Faced with this proposal, Shimizu Asahi and the other two had no objections and unanimously approved the entire film.

"Alright, now we should reconsider what to do."

They all regretted what happened to Princess Goldfish, but no matter how much they regretted it, they couldn't change the fact that they were back to square one.

Getting any information about the Sea Kingdom from the Lord of Arakawa is virtually impossible; they must discuss their plans even more carefully now...

As they resumed their discussion on how to deal with the Lord of Arakawa, at the end of the quiet path leading to the Arakawa Shrine, the Lord of Arakawa, dressed in blue, let out a soft hum.

"I see, so that's why you wanted to go to Mount Suzuka...?"

Chapter 206, Section 209: Losing Your Own Power Booster?

The next morning, Shimizu Asahi walked alone along the quiet path to the residence of the Lord of Arakawa.

With a gentle lift of the hand, a crisp knocking sound rang out.

After knocking lightly on the wooden door a few times, Shimizu Asahi took a few steps back and waited quietly.

A short while later, the wooden door was quietly opened.

The master of Arakawa reappeared in the boy's eyes.

"It's you again. I've already said what I needed to say. You don't need to keep coming here."

With a slight frown, Arakawa no Nushi spoke in a voice tinged with impatience.

"I'm sorry, Lord of Arakawa, for bothering you again. But I promise this is the last time I'll come. So please give me one more chance, just this once, please."

Shimizu Asahi looked at him, his face bearing the resolute determination of "either succeed or die trying."

He was serious; if he couldn't persuade the Lord of Arakawa this time, he would never come here again.

"The last time... huh? Well, human, remember what you said."

Seeing how earnest Shimizu Asahi was, the Lord of Arakawa finally let him in.

Thank you so much!

The black-haired boy thanked him happily, and then followed the Lord of Arakawa to the room where he had entertained them the day before yesterday.

In the same spot as last time, Shimizu Asahi and Arakawa no Nushi sat facing each other.

"Tell me, how do you plan to convince me?"

Arakawa no Nushi didn't waste any time with pleasantries; he went straight to the point.

Faced with the Lord of Arakawa's straightforwardness, Shimizu Asahi took a deep breath and then earnestly requested, "Lord of Arakawa, our purpose this time is indeed the Sea Kingdom. We want to retrieve the Yasakani no Magatama that went missing from the Ise Grand Shrine and use its power to protect Kyoto. Therefore, we have no ill intentions towards the Sea Kingdom. So, I request that you tell me about the Sea Kingdom."

"please!"

A sincere and earnest voice echoed in the room. The black-haired boy lowered his head slightly, trying his best to express his sincerity and earnestness, hoping to move the Lord of Arakawa.

As a being who protects the peace of Arakawa and treats humans and yokai equally, the Lord of Arakawa is definitely not the kind of person who watches disaster strike without doing anything!

As long as he can express his goodwill and guarantee that he will not have any ill will towards Haiguo, he may well tell them the answer.
