"Although I can't be 100% sure, it should be close to the truth."

"After all, only a ghost could inflict a wound like that."

"But then there is a new problem."

As soon as Ian said the first half of the sentence, Minamoto no Raikou finished with the second half.

"Why would a ghost want to hurt him, right?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "Ma'am, you are right."

"Although ghosts don't need a reason to do evil."

"But situations like this are indeed rare."

"After all, if he was able to come to Kyoto with his last breath hanging on, then it at least means that he was definitely not killed directly at that time, right?"

"Indeed it is."

Minamoto no Raikou strongly agreed with Ian's point of view.

"If only I could know what he was thinking."

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if the time has come.

After Minamoto no Raikou finished saying this, the sound of a young boy coughing was heard.

This might be an opportunity to have a conversation.

[You and Minamoto no Raikou looked at each other. ]

You realize you are on the same page.

[After confirming that the boy's body was safe, you asked everyone else to leave the room.]

[On the light green tatami, there are only three of you left. ]

Ian said nothing.

Minamoto no Raikou didn't say anything either.

Both of them were waiting for the opportunity to speak.

soon.

The time has come.

The young man slowly opened his eyes.

"Where is this..."

He looked at the space above his head, looking a little confused.

"This is Genji's residence," Ian replied.

When the boy heard someone answering him, he suddenly became like a different person.

He forced himself to sit up, then hugged the half-blade beside him, looking very alert.

But after seeing Ian, his expression softened a little.

"You just..."

"It seems you still remember me." Ian replied with a smile.

"Yes."

"I brought you back here."

"..."

After Ian said this, the boy finally noticed the bandages wrapped around his body.

He realized that the man in front of him had saved his life.

but--

Although he confirmed this, the boy did not change his attitude.

He held the half sword blade and looked at the two people in front of him with complicated eyes.

Those red pupils seemed to be saying something like "Are you kidding me?"

To be fair.

Ian felt that it was difficult to communicate with such a personality.

But Minamoto no Raikou on the side didn't seem to think so.

After seeing the other party's attitude, she was not discouraged, but actively approached the other party.

She waved her hand tentatively, then smiled and said:

"Hello~"

"..."

The boy didn't say anything, but just stared at Minamoto no Raikou.

The meaning expressed between his eyebrows is already very clear.

"you are?"

Minamoto no Raikou certainly understood this.

She responded quickly:

"I am Minamoto no Raikou, the owner of this mansion."

"What about you? What's your name?"

"..."

The boy was silent for a moment, then responded quietly.

"My name is... Watanabe Tsuna."

"So it's Watanabe Tsuna..." Minamoto no Raikou nodded thoughtfully, "It's a rare name."

"You are from?"

"From Mita Township."

"So far?" Minamoto no Raikou was a little surprised.

However, she quickly turned this surprise into praise for Watanabe Tsuna.

"Then you are quite amazing."

"Is there a reason why you came all the way to Heian-kyō from such a faraway place?"

[You are somewhat impressed by Minamoto no Raikou's ability to communicate with younger people. ]

[If it were you, you might not even ask this question. ]

【She seems to be born with a kind of affinity. 】

"I want to learn how to kill demons," said the young man who called himself Watanabe Tsuna.

"I heard there's a great Onmyoji in Kyoto... so I came here."

Upon hearing the title of Great Onmyoji, Minamoto no Raikou immediately looked at Ian beside him.

The entire Heian-kyo.

He is the only one who deserves this title.

"Then there must be a reason to kill the ghost, right?"

Minamoto no Raikou continued to communicate patiently with Watanabe Tsuna.

"You can't just want to learn the art of killing demons for no reason, right?"

Ian suddenly felt that this question sounded familiar.

correct.

Isn't this the question I asked her that year?

So many years have passed.

She still remembers...

"The reason for learning the art of killing demons——"

Listening to Minamoto no Raikou's words, Watanabe Tsuna looked at the broken sword in his hand.

Suddenly, his pupils widened a little, and then the whole person started shouting and screaming, looking completely different from the sword demon before.

No matter how patiently Minamoto no Raikou communicated with him, it was of no avail.

No way.

Ian could only call all the servants in the mansion over and temporarily control Watanabe Tsuna.

He and Minamoto no Raikou came to the corridor outside.

"Ma'am, what do you think is going on?"

"Well...husband, what do you want to ask me?"

Minamoto no Raikou took a look at the slightly chaotic situation in the house - several sturdy servants grabbed Watanabe Tsuna's hands and feet, and forced him to calm down without hurting him.

"I thought maybe something bad had happened to him."

"And if he's not pretending, then there must be some pretty outrageous reasons."

"Yeah...I think so too."

Ian also glanced inside the house.

"Even though he just woke up not long ago, his first reaction was to hug the broken sword."

"It seems that this problem is not particularly serious."

"Yes..." Minamoto no Raikou's voice became a little softer.

Sensing that she seemed to want to say something, Ian asked.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Nothing..." Minamoto no Raikou's expression seemed a little complicated.

"I was just wondering, if he is in this situation now, even if his injuries heal, he will still have a lot of problems, right?"

"Indeed it is."
