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

A delicious lunch quickly came to an end. Shimizu Asahi, who hadn't eaten his sister's cooking for six whole years, was finally satisfied. After praising how delicious his sister's cooking was, he finally took the initiative to say, "There are some things I want to say to my sister."

Realizing what it was about, the three of them, including Ibuki, all looked at Shimizu Mio. Based on their understanding of Mio, the Shimizu family was unlikely to be peaceful for some time to come.

However, this is good... Sharing happiness and hardship together is what true sisters are all about.

Let Mio experience the pain they went through.

Mio followed Shimizu Asahi into the hall, while the others sensibly left temporarily, leaving the space to the two inside.

"Was it something you whispered to your sister alone... something only she could know?"

The black-haired girl sat down and chuckled gently. She poured a cup of hot water for Shimizu Asahi and made a light joke.

"Hmm... because of this... it's easier for the two of you to talk about it."

The black-haired boy blinked and smiled gently.

After the incident of Ibuki's night raid, Shimizu Asahi became more concerned about the girls' emotions. Although her older sister would never do such a thing, she was somewhat concerned about her younger brother, whom she had raised for many years, suddenly getting married while she was not present.

So he cautiously reminded his sister, "What I'm about to say, sister, please don't get excited, you must stay calm."

"Don't worry, no matter what you say, your sister won't be surprised."

"Furthermore, I also know about the marriage to Suzuka Gozen three hundred years ago."

"Yes, that's what I wanted to say..."

Shimizu Asahi responded subconsciously, but after the words left his mouth, he suddenly froze.

Wait... his sister already knows what he's about to say!? Chapter 419, Chapter 416: Regret, in short, deep regret.

"Sister, you knew everything?"

Shimizu Asahi's eyes widened, a hint of astonishment appearing in her dark pupils, as if wondering why her sister already knew these things without her saying anything.

Could it be that my sister was eavesdropping outside the door?

“Three hundred years ago, didn’t you break into my palace? Although a long time has passed, how could I forget you?”

"As for your matter with Suzuka Gozen, my sister heard about it from Enmusubi-shin earlier."

"Although I'm a little reluctant to part with him, my younger brother has grown up and has someone he likes, which is a good thing."

Seeing the doubt in Shimizu Asahi's heart, Shimizu Mio gently explained in a soft voice.

"So that's how it is... I was wondering what would happen if my sister got upset."

The black-haired boy unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his head, a smile of 'I see' appearing on his handsome and sunny face.

However, Shimizu Mio brought up the matter of their encounter three hundred years ago, which aroused his interest again.

A hint of curiosity appeared on Shimizu Asahi's face. She then asked, "Speaking of which, where were you three hundred years ago, sister? When we were preparing for my wedding with Reiko, I asked Izumo Taisha and my father to search everywhere, hoping to find you and have you attend our wedding. However, we searched for three years and still couldn't find you."

"Huh? Is that so? But three hundred years ago, my sister was also looking for you."

The same astonishment as Shimizu Asahi appeared on her face. The black-haired girl blinked gently, looking at her younger brother with great surprise.

"After I met you that day, I felt that there was some kind of connection between you and me, which made me very concerned."

"So, my sister deliberately put aside her trivial matters and searched for you everywhere. I remember that my first stop was the Hii River in Izumo Province, because I thought you were there, so I stayed there for a day or two."

"Sister, you've been to Fei Yichuan too?"

The same unexpected sound rang out, and then the two siblings froze on the spot.

As if they had guessed something, their expressions of astonishment gradually changed.

“I remember that I went to Izumo Taisha to find the Yasakani no Magatama, but due to some accident, I encountered an evil god and fought with him.”

"After several twists and turns, I fought the evil god in Fei Yichuan and finally resealed him."

"After that, I stayed in Fei Yichuan for several more days."

"I went there about a month after I met my sister."

To verify his guess, Shimizu Asahi remained silent for a while before revealing the time he had gone to Feiyi River with a strange expression.

Upon receiving the exact time, Shimizu Mio's expression froze. Although she had already guessed, when the facts were laid bare before her, her heart slowly... collapsed.

This is unacceptable! This is truly unacceptable!

It turns out that she met Shimizu Asahi back in Feiyi River! If she had just waited a few more days, maybe she could have reunited with her brother three hundred years ago!

That way, she can also stop her brother's marriage!

The person I was three hundred years ago might not have treated Shimizu and Asahi as gently as the person I am three hundred years later, but the person I was three hundred years ago had the same possessiveness as the person I was three hundred years ago.

That was her younger brother, the younger brother she had raised with great care. All he needed to do was look after her, and all he needed to do was have her by his side.

Any philandering cat that tries to get close to my brother should be eliminated!

—My past self three hundred years ago would never have hesitated to do it because of concerns about Qing Shui Chao Yang, just like my future self three hundred years later!

Ahhh! ! !

Why did things turn out this way? Why did I trust my intuition so much? Why didn't I stay in Fei Yichuan a few more days? Why didn't I take the initiative to find Shimizu Asahi?

If she had just taken the initiative, none of this would have happened!

Ahhh! ! !

Having learned the truth, the Lord of Takamagahara has gone mad.

Unlike Shimizu Mio's madness, Shimizu Asahi smiled with a hint of helplessness.

Although Mio didn't say anything, her expression said it all.

"I never imagined that I would be so close to my sister back then... If I had taken the initiative a little more, I might have found her."

"However, it really is fate that we just passed each other by like this."

His connection with Mio Shimizu transcended time and space, bringing Mio, who was completely unaware of his past, to his side. However, due to the cruel twist of fate, they missed each other again until seventeen years ago.

"destiny?"

The black-haired girl, in her madness, paused for a moment. She instinctively murmured the word "fate," and then... a sinister look appeared on her face.

'shortage!!!!'

Three hundred years ago, in order to find the whereabouts of Shimizu Asahi, she asked Ara for some information, but Ara refused, citing that destiny could not be revealed.

At that time, she was unaware that Shimizu Asahi and Reiko had gotten engaged, nor was she aware that they would be officially married soon. Therefore, she did not force Ara to tell her the information.

But Huang definitely knows these things!

As an anomaly, Huang must watch Chaoyang's every move; everything that happens to him is under his watchful eye.

However, despite knowing everything, Huang did not tell her about it!

If she had told her, she definitely wouldn't have let that happen!

'Damn it! You just wait!'

Even if Yu'er pleads for mercy, I will still tear down your palace!!!

"......elder sister?"

A gentle and curious voice reached Shimizu Mio's ears, and the girl who had been showing a hint of ferocity quickly came to her senses. As if changing her expression, a gentle and tender smile reappeared on her face.

"Ah, sorry, I was just spacing out for a moment."

"Even I, your sister, didn't expect that you were actually in Fei Yichuan at that time."

After expressing her slight surprise, Shimizu Mio stopped talking about the previous topic.

She paused slightly, then asked, "So what are your plans now? When are you going to bring Lingzi to see me?"

"It will be some time... After I left, Reiko chose to leave Suzuka Mountain in order to find me. Now, even Ōtakemaru doesn't know where Reiko is."

"Although I also want to find Reiko as soon as possible, I must deal with the evil god matter first. So, I will go find Reiko after I have dealt with the evil god matter!"

At this point, Shimizu Asahi smiled gently: "Originally, I planned to tell my sister about going back to three hundred years ago today, and then go to see the teacher tomorrow. But since my sister already knows, I'm going to go see the teacher right away."

"Has Reiko disappeared?"

A hint of regret flickered in Shimizu Mio's eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh, "I thought I'd get to see Reiko."

But the next second, she smiled and replied, "But since you've made your decision, then I won't say anything more."

"No matter what, you will always be your sister's brother."

"Ah."

The boy smiled in response. (Chapter 420, Chapter 417: Is the Genji in league with the evil god?)

After telling her sister about returning to three hundred years ago and marrying the former master of Suzuka Mountain, Shimizu Asahi's thoughts of returning home gradually subsided.

He has taken care of everything at home.

And then came the evil god incident.

Originally, he should have stayed home to rest after a long period of hard work, and participated in the incident only after he had fully recovered. However, his longing for Reiko and his wariness of the evil god made him give up his plan to rest.

After explaining the situation to his sister, he said "I'm going out" to Ibuki and the other two, and then headed towards the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang).

Walking through familiar yet unfamiliar streets, Shimizu Asahi once again stepped into this Yin-Yang Academy that has taught countless outstanding students.

Despite not having been there for a long time, the traces of his memory allowed him to easily find the gentleman's room.

"Dong dong dong."

A crisp, melodious knock sounded softly, followed by a mature, steady, and deep voice from inside the house.

"Come in."

Following the deep voice, Shimizu Asahi opened the door and went inside.

He entered the room, looked at his mentor who was bent over his work, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

It's been so long since I've seen this scene...

Having already experienced the reunion with her sister, Shimizu Asahi, despite her excitement at seeing her teacher again, did not do anything that would puzzle others.

He concealed his emotions and then softly called out, "Teacher, I'm back."
