[You still haven’t figured this all out.]

[You return to the mansion.]

【You told these things to Minamoto no Raikou. 】

“Oh…Is that so?”

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian in front of him, then tapped him lightly on the head.

"What a little fool."

"What's there to worry about?"

"Isn't it a talent that should be celebrated to be able to match descriptions with certain ghosts at a glance?"

"This is the Onmyoji talent God has given you."

"Why are you still upset about this?"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou's words made Ian feel much better.

"Ma'am, you are right."

"We really shouldn't worry about this kind of thing."

"but--"

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

"The way the madam spoke just now was really interesting."

“It was almost like learning how to be a mother.”

"Eh?"

Minamoto no Raikou felt a little embarrassed after being exposed.

"Husband, have you discovered?"

"Well, isn't this natural?" Ian looked at her in front of him, "After all, the madam even used the word 'little fool'."

"..."

After hearing the reason, Minamoto no Raikou became even more shy.

"So...husband, are you disgusted by me doing this?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"My wife likes to do this, and as her husband, I should accept it."

"only--"

"I still want to know why you, Madam, have such an idea - to want to talk to me as a 'mother'."

"This one……"

Minamoto no Raikou lowered his head and whispered:

"Because I feel a little guilty now."

"Guilt?"

"Yes." Minamoto no Raikou nodded, "As a wife, I should bear children for you at this time."

“But I couldn’t do that for various reasons.”

"So I want to use a little of this love on my husband."

"Ma'am." Ian responded to Raikou.

"Did I already say I don't mind that?"

"Besides, it's not like Madam has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife, right?"

"As the eldest daughter of the Genji clan, Madam, you cannot be so weak."

"...That's right." Minamoto no Raikou felt even more embarrassed, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my husband."

"Then just treat it as a joke."

After Minamoto no Raikou said this, he found that there was something wrong with the way Ian looked at him.

"What's wrong? Is this not enough?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"That's not what I care about."

"I just want to know, Madam, are you really going to give up treating me like a 'mother'?"

"But doesn't my husband dislike it?"

"I never said I didn't like it."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou's chest.

"I just don't want you to become weak because of me, ma'am."

"As for this kind of treatment——"

"Why not enjoy two different kinds of love at once?"

[The couple with strange talents has obtained: You and Minamoto no Raikou have reached a secret agreement, and your relationship has slightly "deteriorated". 】

【This is actually a little fun between you and your spouse. 】

[In front of outsiders, you are a couple who respect each other and live in harmony, which makes people envious. ]

[But at night, you occasionally comfort each other as mother and son.]

"Mom, is this strength okay?"

"Yeah, just right."

With a hissing sound.

Everything was plunged into whiteness.

"Mom feels something hot."

Whether it is the warmth between husband and wife, or the care at the motherly level.

Minamoto no Raikou only wanted to dedicate himself to Ian.

【With this strange relationship, Minamoto no Raikou's mental state has improved a lot. 】

【And you can continue to investigate another question in your mind. 】

【That is about Minamoto no Raikou’s life experience. 】

【But this is not as simple as imagined. 】

[After all, even the Yin-Yang technique that costs one's life cannot be seen clearly, so the effect of more ordinary techniques is naturally even lower. ]

【But this doesn’t mean you gain nothing. 】

"Did you hear that?"

"It seems to be haunted again recently."

"Yeah...it's better to go out less at night."

[You realize that Kyoto is becoming a gathering place for ghosts again. ]

【Fortunately, Watanabe Tsuna has learned a lot. 】

[He took over your job of exorcising demons at night, swinging his blade in the night of Kyoto.]

【At the same time, Minamoto no Raikou's position in the government became increasingly high. 】

[More and more people came here because of its reputation]

[You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu selected two young men named Ubube Suketake and Usui Sadamitsu as your adopted sons.]

[Of course, this is also a kind of exchange of interests. ]

[Like Watanabe Tsuna, they all have their own reasons for killing ghosts. 】

[The so-called adopted sons, on the surface, are you and Minamoto no Raikou who provide them with shelter. 】

[But in fact, they were secretly trained to become talents that could be used by Genji. ]

Your plan was indeed very successful.

[Whether it is Bokube Suketake or Usui Sadamitsu, they are both rare talents. 】

[And the clans behind them are also worthy of Genji's maintenance of relationships. ]

【It’s a win-win situation.】

[But there is still a very serious problem facing the two of you - that is, the origin of ghosts has not been determined yet. ]

[If you don't figure out the source of the 'thought', it will be useless even if you kill as many ghosts as possible. ]

[After all, they will continue to be reborn because of these "thoughts". ]

[You must never allow any ghosts to destroy the tranquility of Heian-kyō. ]

【This is the land where you and she live together. 】

[Minamoto no Raikou saw your anxiety. ]

"Husband, you should take a good rest for a while."

"No, ma'am, I haven't found the source of 'nian' yet."

"Then let the adopted sons find them."

"They've learned a lot anyway, haven't they?"

Minamoto no Raikou became serious for once.

"Husband."

"Isn't the reason why I am willing to adopt them as my adopted sons so that you can have more rest?"

"..."

"I understand."

Ian accepted the concern from Minamoto no Raikou.

The more you want something, the harder it is to achieve.

But at some unexpected moment, they will come one after another.

a few days later.

Usui Sadamitsu hurried to Ian.

"Godfather, I caught a golden-haired ghost."

"A ghost with golden hair?" Ian was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Usui Sadamitsu nodded.

"He said his name was Kintaro."

122. Minamoto no Raikou's "Mother" Assistance/Strange Kintaro (-word chapter)

[Listening to Usui Sadamitsu's description of Kintaro, no specific ghost image emerged in your mind. 】

[Your intuition is telling you that things may not be as simple as Usui Sadamitsu described.]

【You decide to find out for yourself what is going on. 】

"Sadamitsu, where is he now?"

"I have temporarily locked him in a cage." Usui Sadamitsu answered truthfully, "I don't dare to let him appear on the streets of Kyoto."

"Then take me to see him now."

"Okay, foster father."
