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

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning behind "Clear Water Facing the Sun" was quite clear.

you can?

The master said that the taller the demon, the stronger it is. Although there are occasional exceptions, such exceptions are rare.

Therefore, almost all Onmyoji judge the strength of the Oni race by their appearance.

Ibuki-dōji paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Oh dear, would you like to test my strength, my lord? Hehe... I'm quite interested in your bones."

The girl's playful tone carried a hint of displeasure, and the two sharp teeth she revealed indicated her owner's unhappiness.

"Just kidding, are you angry?"

With a smile between her brows, Qing Shui Chaoyang tentatively asked a question.

"No, I didn't."

The Ghost King gave a soft snort and decisively turned his head away.

The little girl's sulky behavior made Shimizu Asahi laugh.

He knew that Ibuki-doji could tell he was joking, and was playing along with the joke.

Having seen enough of his expressions, let him see his own.

"Alright, go to sleep. This is my own task, I can handle it myself."

After the little joke, Qingshui Chaoyang urged the little guy to go and rest.

"That won't do. The master is a normal person. No normal person goes two days without sleep."

"I lay down for a while during the day."

“That’s not enough.” The girl’s tone was firm. “Since you insist on not resting, then I will have no choice but to stay here with you.”

The young student rubbed his head in annoyance. It seemed that Ibuki wasn't planning to go back, whether he slept or not... Oh well, since that's how it is, let her stay.

Thinking this, Shimizu Asahi got up and went back to his room.

"Yes, Master, you should go and rest."

The Ghost King squinted and chuckled.

Shimizu Asahi did not respond to Ibuki Doji's words, but a while later, he returned carrying a quilt.

"Use this. It'll get colder at night, and one coat won't be enough."

The Ghost King tilted her head slightly, and then a charming smile bloomed on her face.

"Hmm." Chapter 9, Section 9: Mio Shimizu: A cat is lusting after my little brother's body!

The next morning.

In a courtyard house in the southern part of Heian-kyo, a very beautiful girl was sitting on the walkway, leisurely drinking tea.

She had long, black hair that reached her waist and a pair of bright eyes that were like the stars in the sky.

Of course, she also has a great figure.

Not too fat, not too thin, just right.

It looks very pleasing to the eye.

The girl's name is Shimizu Mio, who is the older sister who raised Shimizu Asahi and taught him Yin-Yang techniques.

Two days ago, Shimizu Asahi left Heian-kyo for a mission. Although she wanted to go with him, Shimizu Asahi said that he had grown up and was no longer a child, so he told her to stay home and wait for him to come back.

Although she felt a little resentful, since her younger brother wouldn't let her go, she had no choice but to stay home and wait for him to come back.

She could ignore what anyone in the world said, but she couldn't ignore what her younger brother said.

Therefore, she had no choice but to bring her younger brother, who had been living in seclusion for hundreds of years, out of the mountains.

Just because I'm not going doesn't mean others can't go.

This is the older brother's concern, not the older sister's.

Although she hadn't received any news about Chaoyang in the past two days, it meant that he was doing well and there were no major problems.

That's why she's sitting here so quietly drinking tea.

Suddenly, a fox skillfully leaped over the wall and landed in the yard.

Black's gaze instinctively fell on the fox, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This is the fox she sent over to make it easier to contact the shop owner. Its return means that something has happened to Shimizu Asahi!

The fox placed the envelope it was carrying next to Shimizu Mio, then respectfully stepped aside.

"What happened?"

She hurriedly opened the letter and carefully read its contents.

The letter didn't contain much information, and even though she read it very carefully, she finished it quickly.

After reading the letter, only four words remained in Shimizu Mio's mind.

"Ibuki-dōji!"

This letter not only describes Ibuki-dōji's close relationship with Shimizu Asahi, but also the shop owner's opinion of his younger brother.

Of course, Shimizu Mio subconsciously ignored the shop owner's opinion; her black eyes only reflected the part where Ibuki Doji reached out her hand to Shimizu Asahi.

Upon learning that Shimizu Asahi was being targeted by Ibuki Doji, Shimizu Mio was filled with worry.

Although she had never met Ibuki-dōji, she had heard all the stories about her.

In these stories, Ibuki-dōji is sometimes fierce and cruel, and sometimes frivolous and capricious, making him unpredictable.

However, everyone agrees with one statement.

—Ibuki-dōji is the most demon-like demon!

Yes, Ibuki-dōji was the demon who lived the most like a demon.

She had no constraints, no goals, no dreams... nothing in this world could bind her.

Therefore, she did whatever she wanted, without any taboos.

Whether to kill or spare the enemy is entirely up to her.

Even the demons of Mount Ooe were only barely accepted by her because of their decent strength and their joining Mount Ooe.

To be honest, apart from the other three demon kings of Mount Ooe, the other evil spirits were just familiar strangers.

How could she not be worried when such a wicked spirit suddenly approached Shimizu Asahi?

But later, her worries turned into envy, jealousy, and hatred.

All the yokai know that Ibuki-dōji loves wealth, fine wine, and handsome men.

Her actions all revolved around these three points.

The letter then describes how Ibuki Doji and Shimizu Asahi were so close and inseparable.

Yeah, with a brother as handsome as him, Ibuki-dōji must have taken a liking to him!

That scoundrel, she actually laid a hand on my brother!

Shimizu Mio gritted her teeth inwardly. Which of those handsome men who were targeted by Ibuki-douji hadn't had their bones pulled out and died in agony by her?

Her younger brother is being targeted by that monster; he must be in great danger!

She instinctively wanted to rush over to protect her younger brother and, incidentally, teach that philandering Ibuki-doji a lesson.

But then she thought again, Shimizu Asahi wanted to achieve peaceful coexistence between humans and yokai, and Ibuki-dōji was an obstacle she had to overcome. If she went and beat up Ibuki-dōji now... Putting aside how much fighting power she could have, since she only hides in her room when she's angry, even if she did defeat Ibuki-dōji, it would definitely make the relationship between Shimizu Asahi and Ibuki-dōji very tense.

Mount Ōe is now the strongest group of demons, and Shuten-dōji, who is in charge, values ​​his bonds with the demons immensely. When these relationships become tense, it's as if Shimizu Asahi is standing against the entire Mount Ōe.

Therefore, she cannot move now.

As for telling Shimizu Asahi about Ibuki-dōji's identity... Shimizu Mio, who knows him well, assures him that he will put his whole heart into Ibuki-dōji.

Ugh, so annoying! There's a philanderer trying to steal her own brother, and she can't do anything about it!

After agonizing over it for a while, Shimizu Mio finally had to accept the fact.

Fortunately, the shop owner said that Chaoyang had the idea of ​​returning, and estimated that he would leave the ancient wine village in three days at the latest.

In other words, Ibuki-dōji, that philandering cat, can only steal fish for a maximum of three more days.

By the way, Kuzuha seemed to have mentioned a few days ago that she wanted to get together and talk about her child and Tamamo's child joining the Onmyodo.

What a coincidence! I'll ask Kuzunoha and Tamamo-no-Mae for their ideas later.

Although she had no other choice, she couldn't stop herself from having two fox 'sisters'.

Cricket Ibuki-dōji, hmph!

Having made up her mind, Shimizu Mio gently waved her hand, erased the writing on the envelope, wrote her own instructions, and then had the little fox deliver it to the shop owner.

.....

Meanwhile, in Shimizu Asahi's room, Shimizu Asahi was resting quietly on the bed.

Just as Ibuki-dōji said, although he was an Onmyoji, he was still human and couldn't stay awake.

So, after finishing his daily observations for the evening, Ibuki-dōji insisted that he go to rest. Perhaps because he was really tired, he fell asleep less than three seconds after lying down on the bed.

While he was sleeping, Ibuki-dōji sat in the same spot he had been sitting in for the past two days and watched him.

It's like a role reversal, the only difference being that Shimizu Asahi is reading a book while Ibuki Doji is drinking.

However, after Shimizu Asahi fell asleep, Ibuki Doji was sitting alone when she suddenly felt a little surprised that she was still sitting there.

She was a capricious ghost king who only had a fleeting interest in many things; even if she had a momentary curiosity, it would quickly fade away.

When she became curious about Shimizu Asahi and wanted to get to know him, she also thought that she might suddenly lose interest in him and give up on getting to know him.

Based on her personality, she would lose interest and leave within half a day at most.

Unexpectedly, she stayed there for a whole day.

Incredible. Chapter 10, Section 10: Kamo no Tadakyu
