The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

[Under the guidance of Usui Sadamitsu, you walked through the streets of Kyoto and came to a relatively remote place. ]

[You met Kintaro, whom Usui Sadamitsu mentioned. ]

have to say,

Usui Sadamitsu, who once killed a snake, did have some skills.

I saw that the person trapped in the cage was a tall, blond, and blue-eyed guy.

His naked upper body was covered with scars and wounds, looking horrifying.

His face looks ferocious and ordinary people would be frightened at a glance.

From the perspective of human aesthetics, this is indeed an existence that is not much different from a "ghost".

but--

Looking at him in front of him, Ian felt that he could be 100% sure of one thing.

Not a ghost.

This guy called Kintaro is not a ghost.

"Godfather? Gotfather! Gotfather?!"

Usui Sadamitsu shouted three times before calling Ian back from his thoughts.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Ahem." Ian cleared his throat, "Nothing."

"Sadamitsu, where did you catch him?"

"This one……"

After hearing his father's words, Usui Sadamitsu pondered for a while and replied.

"I received news that a man-eating mountain heron is roaming the mountains."

"After I was done with it, I saw this guy - he was still sleeping under a tree."

"..."

Reasonable and unexpected answer.

After all, this person (ghost) doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with. If it weren't for this accident, I'm afraid there would be no way to bring him back.

Ian thought for a while and then asked:

"So, Zhenguang, has anything unusual happened along the way?"

"Reply to godfather."

Usui Sadamitsu glanced at Kintaro in the cage, his expression a little subtle.

"Nothing unusual happened."

"If I must say it—"

"He didn't seem to realize that I had caught him... He would smile at me from time to time."

"This……"

[You realize that there is something a little bit wrong with Kintaro in front of you. ]

You feel like you have to dig deeper to find out what's going on.

[You decide to spend some time alone with Kintaro. 】

"Sadamitsu, please step back first."

"I want to talk to this guy alone."

Although he still had many doubts in his heart, Usui Sadamitsu knew that he had no rights over Ian.

"I understand, foster father."

Say goodbye and leave.

The surrounding area fell silent, leaving only Ian and Kintaro in the cage.

According to his inner thoughts, he wanted to talk to the big man in front of him - the person brought back from the supposedly haunted mountain, no matter what he thought, it was necessary to ask.

But soon, the Great Onmyoji discovered that this method did not work.

Because no matter what I said, the other party would respond with a slightly silly smile.

and a simple reply.

"Kintaro thinks it's right." - This may be how Usui Sadamitsu named him.

And maybe it's just as he said.

Kintaro didn't even realize he was caught.

In this case, how can we communicate with him?

【You decide not to waste time for now. 】

【You know you should find some new methods.】

【You mentioned this to Minamoto no Raikou.】

at night.

"Eh?"

Minamoto no Raikou, who was sitting next to Ian's pillow, looked a little surprised.

"Sadamitsu captured someone he couldn't communicate with?"

"yes……"

Ian looked up at the sky above his head, and what appeared before his eyes was Kintaro's silly grin.

He had a headache.

"No matter what question I asked, he answered me with the same behavior... It was really a bit strange."

"This……"

Hearing Ian's words, Minamoto no Raikou frowned and began to think seriously.

Soon, she had an idea.

"Then my husband——"

"Should we try to communicate with him from a different angle?"

"Change the angle?"

Ian looked at the person beside him.

"Madam, what do you mean?"

"Think about it." Minamoto no Raikou, lying on the pillow, looked straight at him beside him.

"You want to communicate with him, but he just smiles at you."

“That means this approach doesn’t work.”

"And there are more ways to attract his attention than just talking...if you show him something attractive enough, it will definitely have a similar effect."

"In this way, maybe we can communicate?"

Minamoto no Raikou's words suddenly woke Ian up.

"Ma'am, you have a point."

"But it sounds like you're just teasing a child."

"You are right, my lord."

Minamoto no Raikou did not hide his thoughts.

"That's really what I've learned as I've been learning to be a mother."

"Husband, you said it."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Genji clan. I cannot be weak."

"so--"

"Whether it's 'wife' or 'mother', I'm trying hard to learn how to do it."

[The Talented Strange Couple has been enhanced to Strange Couple+: You find that taking care of you as a "mother" seems to have become one of Minamoto no Raikou's spiritual pillars. 】

She had a lot of fun doing it.

【Her life has become much more meaningful because of this. 】

【You think this is not a bad thing. 】

[According to Minamoto no Raikou's idea, you plan to attract Kintaro's attention by using an object. ]

To be fair.

If Kintaro was really a ghost, Ian wouldn't have such a headache.

After all, the birth of monsters is often closely related to the "thoughts" to which they are attached.

As long as you can find the "thought", you won't be afraid of not being able to kill the monsters, nor will you worry about not being able to communicate with them.

But the problem is that Kintaro only looks like a ghost.

This method that Onmyoji is good at is completely infeasible to him.

and so--

To maximize the possibility of communication.

Ian prepared a lot of conspicuous things.

Jade, antiques, famous paintings, etc.

They are all extremely easy to attract the attention of ordinary people.

Ian showed these things to Kintaro one by one, trying to facilitate communication in this way.

But the situation is not as easy as imagined.

These things that are very tempting to ordinary people seem to be completely meaningless to Kintaro.

He just watched Ian silently as he passed them past his eyes, and then burst into laughter.

He means no harm.

But for the great Onmyoji, it was a difficult thing to accept.

Ian realized that the man in front of him seemed to be in an abnormal mental state - probably even worse than a child.

Is it going to fail again?

Just as Ian was thinking this, things took a turn for the better.

I saw that it was the last tool he prepared - a piece of gold.

Ian hadn't originally planned to bring it over.

I brought it along simply with the mentality that "it won't be a big deal if I keep it".

but--

Ian soon discovered that Kintaro in front of him was interested in it.

His eyes followed wherever his hand holding the gold bar moved.

The Great Onmyoji who noticed this asked tentatively.

"Want it?"

"Yeah!" Kintaro responded.

[This is the first time you see Kintaro say other answers. 】

【You realize that Minamoto no Raikou is right. 】

[She is indeed very good at thinking in terms of “motherhood”—this is also an unexpected gain.]
