The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"As long as I'm here, there won't be any problems."

He looked so fearless, as if Minamoto no Raikou was the one who was going to face Minamoto no Mitsunaka.

Looking at him like this, Minamoto no Raikou felt extremely at ease.

Yes.

As long as he is here, what do I have to be afraid of?

[You have arrived in front of Minamoto Manzhong's room.]

[This is a place that is several times larger than any other room in the mansion.]

[Obviously, this is a way for Minamoto Manzhong to establish his own authority.]

【At the entrance, there are two foot soldiers holding silver halberds. 】

【They stopped you and Minamoto no Raikou. 】

"stop."

The two silver halberds crossed each other, making a crisp sound.

"The room ahead is General Minamoto's residence. No outsiders are allowed to enter!"

"it's me."

Minamoto no Raikou walked out from behind Ian.

"Tell my father that I have something important to discuss."

"..."

The two foot soldiers looked at each other and then nodded.

A few minutes later.

The Ashigaru spoke to the two people in front of him:

"Please come in."

"The general is waiting for the young lady inside, and..."

The foot soldiers looked at Ian, unsure of how to address him.

Minamoto no Raikou took the initiative to hold Ian's hand.

"My benefactor."

After saying this, she walked in with Ian under the gaze of the two foot soldiers.

[The interior of the room is even more luxurious than the exterior. ]

[Gilded decorations all over the floor and beautiful landscape paintings are everywhere. ]

[All the luxurious items that noble families can use in this era are all available here. ]

[Even if you only take a glance at the room, you will know that the owner of the room is either rich or noble. ]

[Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to have this level of decoration. ]

[But compared to these, you care more about one thing. ]

[Something is stabbing at you.]

It was a sharp samurai sword.

The shining tip of the blade stopped abruptly in front of Ian.

The sharpest part is probably only a hair's length away from the eyeball.

The person who did these things was none other than Minamoto no Raikou's biological father, Minamoto no Mitsunaka.

He was a warrior who was over fifty years old but still looked very healthy.

There is an air of demeanor between his brows that is no less than that of young people.

"Let go of my daughter's hand."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou was stunned for a moment before he realized what his father had done.

She took the initiative to let go of Ian's hand, and then said:

"Father, what are you doing?!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ian reached out and stopped his apprentice from making noise.

He just smiled and said:

"General Minamoto, are you just kidding me?"

Hearing this, Yuan Manzhong was silent at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Are you pretending to be calm?!"

"If my sword had gone just a little deeper, you would have been a dead body by now."

"But you won't do that."

Ian still maintained his calm demeanor.

"After all, if the people of Heian-kyō knew that an Onmyoji was killed by you in an attack, I'm afraid your reputation would be ruined."

"Besides -"

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou who was standing beside him.

"I suppose you don't want your daughter to resent you for this?"

"..."

[Manaman, who was laughing just now, suddenly became gloomy. ]

You realize that what you just said hits the nail on the head.

[This is obviously unacceptable to a general.]

Minamoto Manzhong sheathed his sword.

He looked at the man in front of him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Ah."

"Do you want to show off your intelligence to my daughter in front of me?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"I'm not going to do that."

"Because I just want to tell you something."

"Tell me something?"

Yuan Manzhong's expression was solemn.

"what's up?"

"that is--"

"Your daughter, Minamoto no Raikou, has found a sufficiently good Onmyoji. 傼"

"And that person is me."

Ian's undisguised "self-introduction" made Yuan Manzhong look surprised.

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian with surprise.

After all, when he was in that village before, he seemed reluctant to leave.

That's why.

Until just now, I was still worried that he would suddenly give up everything and return to the mountains again.

Now it looks like that won’t happen.

Is this a change you made because of yourself?

Minamoto no Raikou looked at him and couldn't help but feel a surge of touching love in his heart.

But what she didn't know was that her father saw all the love she showed.

The general immediately became dissatisfied.

"What are you talking about in your sleep?"

"Even if you are the most famous Onmyoji that Raikou found, what does that mean?"

"Is there anything you can do to help us?"

"From a general perspective, there is really nothing I can do for the Genji clan."

"But--"

Ian was not afraid of the resentful look that Yuan Manzhong cast towards him.

"That doesn't mean I can't take any action to secure benefits for the Genji clan."

"what do you mean?"

Genmanaka asked.

"Are you trying to use this inconsistent logic to confuse me and cause me to have a wrong understanding?"

"Absolutely not."

"There's nothing contradictory about this," Ian continued to explain.

"I really can't get anything like wealth and territory for the Genji family."

"But correspondingly—"

"I can clear the 'thoughts' that are secretly blocking you, and in this way, it can indirectly help you."

"..."

Yuan Manzhong's expression became even more serious.

"Are you trying to say that our Genji was stopped by Nen?"

"That's right, sir."

"But you should know the status of our Genji in Heian-kyō. All of our descendants can rise to prominence. How can we be stopped?"

"Until the stream stops flowing, no one will notice the accumulated silt." Ian responded calmly.

"but--"

"If you don't believe what I say, then please just laugh it off."

[Your words made Yuan Manzhong pay attention. 】

[He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.]

[You noticed that his eyes never left Minamoto no Raikou who was beside you. ]

[You realize that there may be some secrets in the Genji family that you don't know. ]

Silence filled the whole house.

After a long while, Yuan Manzhong spoke again:

"Are you serious?"

"Is there 'mind' in our Genji roots?"

Minamoto no Raikou was a little surprised.

In her impression, her father clearly hated Onmyoji,

But at this moment, he expressed a concept that only those who have carefully studied Yin-Yang Art can understand.

Something seemed to be wrong.

But before Minamoto no Raikou had time to think about it, Ian nodded and replied:

"Well, you're right."
