Where is it?

Shuten-doji began to search the room hurriedly.

Soon, as the Ghost King of Mount Oe, she used her terrifyingly sharp perception to find the source of the sound - the ventilation duct above her and Ibaraki Douji's heads!

"Ibaraki!"

“Did you hear that!”

Shuten-douji quickly pulled Ibaraki-douji beside him.

"There's a sound inside!"

"Ah."

Ibaraki Douji nodded.

Then, her eyes fell on the ventilation duct.

"Something... crawled into our room."

"Shuten, do you want to drive her away?"

"..."

Shuten-doji hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Do not."

"Let's see what it is - after all, even if we drive whatever's inside out, it'll still go somewhere else. It's better to get rid of it before it affects anyone else."

"That makes sense..."

Ibaraki Douji nodded, and then he and Shuten Douji held their breath, waiting quietly for something in the ventilation duct to come out.

bang-

The sound was very close.

Slap it.

It seemed like something had kicked the ventilation duct outlet.

Boom!

The board blocking the exit fell down.

then……

A small head with white hair popped out from inside.

Because the lights were not on, neither Shuten-douji nor Ibaraki-douji could see clearly who the other person was.

The moment she saw Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, she was stunned for a moment, and then began to apologize.

"Sorry, I'm in the wrong place."

"..."

"..."

Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji were both stunned for a moment.

They had already prepared themselves, but they never imagined that after the ventilation duct was kicked open, they would be greeted with an apology.

The other party seemed to have no intention of asking for forgiveness from Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, and directly said;

"Goodbye then, and have a sweet dream."

As he spoke, his little head wanted to crawl back into the ventilation duct and continue to crawl towards an even more unknown place.

Shuten-doji reacted immediately!

Even if the other party's destination is not here, we can't let her crawl around in the ventilation duct like this!

No!

Got to ask clearly!

"Stop right there!"

Shuten-doji shouted like this, and then directly lifted up the entire quilt.

She was already prepared - if the other party left like that, she would just follow him and crawl into the ventilation duct.

On things like speed.

The Ghost King of Dajiang Mountain is not afraid of anyone!

however……

Something beyond Shuten-doji's expectations happened again.

She was planning to catch up, but she saw a scene she had never expected.

"What's wrong--?"

Yes.

The person who was originally planning to leave stopped immediately after Shuten-doji shouted this, and once again stuck his head out of the ventilation duct.

"What do you want from me?"

"..."

Although he suddenly felt that the other party's malice had lessened a lot, Shuten-doji's mind was not confused by his longing for Ian.

Since the other party will listen to what I say!

Then!

Let her explain clearly!

"Come down from up there!"

"..."

"it is good."

A few minutes later.

The lights in the room where Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji were were on again.

But compared to the last time the lights were turned on, there is now a small figure in the room.

That's not someone else.

But...

Jack the Ripper!

"..."

Looking at the white-haired little loli in front of him, Shuten-doji frowned slightly, and then remembered something.

"I remember now!"

"You're the one!"

"There's always a kid riding a black boar!"

"Call……"

"Atalanta." Ibaraki Douji added for Shuten Douji.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shuten-doji nodded repeatedly, "It's Atalanta!"

"..."

"Please don't call Sister Atalanta a black boar—" Jack the Ripper said very seriously, "She is a very gentle 'mother'. She carries me around on her back just to play with me."

"'Mother'……?"

When Shuten-doji heard this name, he was obviously stunned.

"You and her, are mother and son...?"

"Ah."

Jack the Ripper nodded.

"She's my 'mom' - my 'mom' that I adore."

"..."

Even though he is the demon king of Mount Oe, Shuten-doji still knows basic human etiquette.

She quickly apologized:

"sorry!"

"I didn't mean to say that! I'm really sorry if I made you unhappy!"

"It's ok."

"I won't be angry—" Jack the Ripper looked at the ceiling.

The ventilation ducts there still bore traces of her visit.

"After all, I did do some bad things."

"Then let's write it off!"

"Well, it's written off."

Shuten-doji is not a petty person, and neither is Jack the Ripper.

The atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.

but……

Ibaraki Douji suddenly spoke again at this time:

"If that's the case, Jack, why are you in the ventilation duct?"

"This has nothing to do with 'Mom' or anything like that—"

"Eh?"

Shuten-doji suddenly woke up from the harmonious atmosphere with Jack the Ripper.

"Yes!"

"Why are you in there? We want to know the answer to this question!"

"..."

Facing the gazes of the two ghosts of Oeyama directed at him, the tiny Jack the Ripper did not show any fear.

She just asked a question.

"Have you received an invitation from 'Father'?"

Since the "mother" mentioned by Jack the Ripper is Atalanta's word;

It is not difficult to deduce that the "father" she mentioned refers to Ian.

As for Ian's invitation——

Shuten-douji looked at Ibaraki-douji and found that he was also looking at him.

Obviously, the two ghosts' cognition reached a surprisingly consistent consensus at this moment.

"Ok!"

Shuten-doji nodded as if representing him, and then spoke with pride.

“I received it!”

"Uncle, Ibaraki and I are invited to participate!"

"Yes."

Ibaraki Douji nodded to show that he agreed with Shuten Douji's statement.

only--

Jack the Ripper's next words made Shuten-doji, who was still a little proud, stop.
