"You didn't do well this time!" Ian's voice was stern and critical.

"I should have said that when getting rid of a ghost, you must not hesitate like this!"

"Yes, sorry!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu immediately apologized and lowered his head.

Seeing her like this, Ian's anger disappeared a lot.

He sighed, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her long hair.

"Yakou."

“It’s a good thing to have a kind heart.”

"But you must never have this mentality when you are exorcising a ghost. If I hadn't been with you just now, you would probably be in danger now."

"promise me."

"From now on, we must never make such a mistake again."

"No matter what it looks like - as long as it's a ghost you should kill, you must not show mercy!"

"I see."

Minamoto no Raikou, nestled in Ian's arms, remembered everything he said.

[You and Minamoto no Raikou continue your training as master and apprentice in Kyoto.]

[You have killed "Gao Nu" and "Jian Yue Rudao" successively. ]

[These are the wronged spirits of those who could not get married because they were too tall, and the ghosts who enjoy scaring people. ]

[Although they are not very powerful, they are already very good opponents for Minamoto no Raikou who has just started to learn the art of killing demons. ]

【She continues to grow under your guidance. 】

[And my love for you becomes stronger. ]

[This feeling gradually melted into the behavior. ]

[The most obvious manifestation is that she still hasn't forgotten that she is your "drinking pot". ]

On the road in Kyoto.

A horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly.

The extremely luxurious decoration on the carriage was enough to reveal the fact that the owner of the carriage was Genji.

Therefore, no one dared to stop the carriage, as everyone was afraid of causing trouble.

But what they didn't know was that it was this state of no one caring about it that provided a unique environment for Minamoto no Raikou to serve his master.

Inside the van.

The warrior's white shoulders were already dancing with the air.

The sweets they carried with them were tied tightly with rice ropes, just like a pair of steamed mountain buns.

The Onmyoji feasted on the food, but the warrior had to hold back his heartfelt reminders and remain silent so as not to attract other people's attention.

A process like this, if you will, can last quite a long time.

However, Ian probably didn't want to see his apprentice suffer too much, so he just tried it briefly.

"Raikou, the taste is getting sweeter and sweeter."

"Yes, Master."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him with affection.

"I have adjusted my diet specifically for this."

"..."

Ian's expression looked a little complicated.

After a while, he finally asked:

"Raikou, is it worth it to do this for me?"

"Of course it's worth it."

Minamoto no Raikou answered without hesitation.

"You are my Master."

"No matter how much effort and change I make for you, it's all natural, right?"

"..."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him and smiled slightly.

"It seems that I must teach you the art of killing demons more carefully."

"Otherwise, I would be ashamed of your efforts."

“That’s great.”

Minamoto no Raikou leaned close to Ian, his eyes filled with only admiration for him.

"Then Master, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"You told my father at that time that your last name was 'Ampere'. Is that true?"

"..."

Ian pondered for a moment, nodded, then shook his head.

"You can say it's true, or you can say it's false."

"What does it mean?"

"Well... it's like this, Raikou."

Ian helped Minamoto no Raikou straighten his kimono.

"I don't remember if this is my real last name...but I remembered it when your father asked me about it."

Minamoto no Raikou was stunned at first, then realized something.

"Master, do you mean that you have recovered your past memories?!"

"Maybe so."

"That's great!" Minamoto no Raikou was very happy. "If this happens, sooner or later I will remember everything I forgot before, right?!"

Her happiness had not lasted two minutes when she suddenly realized something.

“Eh… if that’s the case.”

"Master, the memories I 'brought' for you are meaningless, aren't they?"

"How can it be meaningless?"

Ian gently stroked Minamoto no Raikou's hair.

“They’re just as important as the memories I’ve forgotten, and that’s the point.”

[Your exorcism of Kyoto continues. ]

[As the eldest daughter of the Genji clan, Minamoto no Yorimitsu is indeed gifted with intelligence. ]

[She learned the demon-killing technique you taught her very quickly.]

[After two or three months, she could even start looking for hidden ghosts on her own.]

[However, she was not proud of it, but became more serious. ]

【You realize that this is 'the more you know, the more you realize your ignorance'. 】

[You like her very much, so you are trying your best to teach her. ]

"Master."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the blade in his hand.

"If I kill Tu Bi, I will have eliminated 20 ghosts."

"is it?"

"It seems that my apprentice really has the potential to become an independent Yin-Yang Master."

Ian was generous with his praise.

This made Minamoto no Raikou blush, but he did not take his eyes off the master in front of him.

Ian noticed this.

He looked at her in front of him and asked:

"Raikou, what's wrong?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide anything between us."

"that is--"

Minamoto no Raikou took Ian's hand.

"Master, you have lived in Beijing for almost half a year, right?"

"Yes."

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou gently shook Ian's hand.

"Master, have you found a girl that suits your taste?"

"none."

This is not because Ian was following Minamoto no Raikou's wishes, but because he really didn't feel anything.

There are indeed many beautiful women in Kyoto.

But the great Onmyoji was not impressed at all.

During this half year, at least 90% of the time was spent killing demons and teaching Raikou how to kill demons.

Upon hearing the news, Minamoto no Raikou's purple eyes showed a burst of joy.

"Master, are you serious? You don't have to say that just to consider my feelings."

Ian smiled.

"Raikou, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"……Too."

Minamoto no Raikou recalled with a polite smile.

"Master has always been the kind of person who speaks his mind."

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou's gaze once again fell on the man in front of him.

"Master, you said that my performance was good, right?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded. "After only half a year of study, he was able to kill nearly twenty ghosts. This is already better than the average Yin-Yang Master."

"That means..."

Minamoto no Raikou's feet gently drew circles on the tatami.

"I have brought pride to Master?"

"Of course," Ian replied without hesitation.

"If that's the case—"

"Master, as your pride, can I make a small request? Just consider it as a reward for my hard work."

"any request?"

"You haven't met a member of the opposite sex that makes your heart beat in half a year."
