The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

【You handed the gold nugget to Kintaro. 】

[You find that the way he looks at you has changed.]

[But he still seems a little unskilled in answering your question. ]

[You decide to come again and order someone to bring more gold.]

【But Kintaro refused to accept it. 】

[You are in trouble again.]

[You decide to ask Minamoto no Raikou for help again. ]

"You won't accept the gold again?"

Minamoto no Raikou asked this while tapping his chin and tilting his head slightly.

"Yeah, he obviously accepted the first piece, but he refused to take the rest."

Ian had a headache.

For him, interacting with people is quite troublesome.

Now the trouble has become even more complicated.

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou stretched out the ending sound.

"Maybe it's because he's very polite?"

"Speak, be polite?"

Ian heard another unheard angle from his wife.

"What does it mean?"

"Husband, please think about it." Minamoto no Raikou explained.

"Since Kintaro's mental state is only at the level of a child, you can't understand his thoughts from an adult's perspective."

"He took the first piece because he thought it was your way of showing friendship."

"The latter one doesn't want it because he thinks it's impolite."

"..."

Although it seemed absurd at first, Ian found that it made some sense after careful consideration.

This is Minamoto no Raikou's unique perspective.

But this also brings up new problems.

"Madam, what should we do next?"

Ian asked further.

"Well... in this case."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at him beside the pillow.

"I think, husband, you may need to make him realize that you are the same kind of people."

"The same kind of people?"

"Yes." Minamoto no Raikou nodded, "As long as he can accept you, we can continue to communicate."

"As for how to do it specifically—"

"I think you can do it if you also take a piece of gold and say it's yours."

"..."

"Husband, what's that look in your eyes? Are my ideas really still ridiculous?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"Ma'am, you make a lot of sense."

"It's just that I think your attainments in the matter of 'mother' are slightly beyond my imagination."

"of course."

Minamoto no Raikou answered with a bit of pride.

"Because I promised my husband that I would not be weak...so I will try my best to do my best."

"I hope one day—"

"As a mother, I will also be loved by my husband."

"Then madam, you have already done it."

"Yes, really?"

"Yes."

Ian took Minamoto no Raikou's hand and gently pressed it against a hot patch.

"Whether it's 'wife' or 'mother', I have the same desire."

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou used a little force and slid his hand up and down.

"Just let mommy see what you need."

【You spent an unspeakable night. 】

[Minamoto Yorimitsu is greatly satisfied with your care. 】

【Your relationship is still praised by others. 】

【But you haven't forgotten what you have to do. 】

[According to Minamoto no Raikou's idea, you start to act. ]

[You come to him with a gold nugget similar to the one you gave him before.]

Kintaro was no longer resistant to Ian's arrival.

The big guy who was released from the cage was still watched by the people around him, but at least his range of movement was much larger.

Holding the gold, he just stared blankly at Ian walking towards him.

The Great Onmyoji took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, then bent down and showed his gold nugget to Kintaro as Minamoto no Raikou had mentioned.

He smiled and spoke in the friendliest tone possible:

"It's not for you this time."

"It's my own - I have a piece of gold just like you."

[You said it according to what Minamoto no Raikou said.]

You look forward to its effects.

[Your expectations have not been disappointed. 】

[Kintaro has a new reaction as expected. 】

"Great!"

"You have it, and I have it too."

As he said this, Kintaro happily waved the gold nugget he had been holding towards Ian.

“Everyone has it!”

Although Kintaro's appearance was so ferocious that it made people feel a little scary when he said this.

But Ian could feel that he was genuinely happy that both he and Ian had gold nuggets.

In a sense -

He is actually quite upright.

Ian's opinion of Kintaro improves slightly.

"Yeah, we all have gold nuggets."

"Now, we can talk, right?"

"Sure, hey, sure."

Kintaro smiled a mixture of friendly and ferocious, while patting the grass beside him.

"Sit down, sit down!"

"..."

Realizing that this was Kintaro's way of showing his goodwill, Ian, who had originally wanted to ask him to go somewhere else, had to change his plan temporarily and sat down on the grass with him.

but--

What happened next was somewhat beyond Ian's expectations.

As soon as he sat down, Kintaro beside him held the piece of gold and started yelling at the great Onmyoji beside him.

"Glittering!"

"nice!"

"I want to show her too!"

"..."

Although it was just a simple sentence, Ian noticed the subtlety in it.

"she?"

"Kintaro, you mean..."

As soon as Ian asked, Kintaro said happily:

"Boy!"

"It's a beautiful thing. I want to show it to the boy too!"

"Is there any way you can help me?"

123. Shuten-doji's "Invitation"/Kintaro's Wine Gourd (-word chapter)

[Looking at Kintaro's excitement, you realize that the boy he mentioned might be a very important person to him. ]

But you don’t know what that is.

You decide to find out what's going on.

"Kintaro."

The sturdy big guy next to Ian asked again.

"I might be able to help you."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to explain to me clearly what the 'boy' you mentioned is?"

When Kintaro heard Ian say he could help him, he immediately became interested.

He held the gold in his hand, gestured and pointed outside, looking very excited.

"Over there! Over there!"

"The boy is over there!"

Ian looked in the direction Kintaro's finger pointed, and what came into view was the road out of Kyoto.

He immediately realized that Kintaro's "over there" was referring to places other than Heian Kyo.

To put it in easier to understand terms: it means taking him out yourself.

to be honest--

This is a somewhat risky move.

After all, it is very easy to stop Kintaro in Beijing.
