The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

But once you go outside, there are many more variables than you can imagine.

But is it really necessary to doubt him?

Ian thought about it again and again and decided to give it a try first.

After all, if something really happens, I am not unable to handle it.

"That--"

"Kintaro, can you take me there?"

"Sure! No problem!"

Kintaro, holding the gold, looked extremely excited.

[After briefly explaining your destination to Minamoto no Raikou, you and Kintaro left Heian-kyō the next day.]

[You don't know where his destination is, so you can only let him lead the way. ]

[Fortunately, Kintaro is a very simple person. ]

[He didn't have any bad intentions, he was just leading the way. ]

[You and he came to the foot of a mountain. ]

[That is the place where your adopted son, Usui Sadamitsu, fought.]

"..."

As soon as he stepped into the forest, Ian frowned.

Because he saw the forest full of signs of destruction.

The tall trees were covered with alarming claw marks, so the fallen leaves almost filled the entire path.

obviously.

This battle was not as simple as Usui Sadamitsu said.

In order not to worry himself, he deliberately omitted a lot of things and only reported good news but not bad news.

Ian realized that his relationship with his adopted sons was not entirely based on interests.

I will worry about them.

They also worry about themselves.

"This way, this way!"

After Kintaro shouted this, he ran towards a path in the mountains.

Although he looked like a burly man, he was as lively as a child at this moment.

Ian had no choice but to hurry up and keep up.

[You are traveling through the woods.]

【Kintaro is so excited to return to this mountain that he is a little scary.】

[Perhaps for him, this is the environment in which he was born and raised.]

You followed him around for quite some time.

[You finally stopped in front of a wooden house.]

"This……"

Looking at the wooden house in front of him, Ian was a little surprised.

This doesn't look like a mountain where people can live, but there is a house like this.

Something is wrong.

Ian was still wondering why, but Kintaro had already revealed the answer to him.

He pushed open the door with a happy look on his face, and then shouted inside:

"I am back!"

however--

There was no response from inside the house.

Kanekutaro looked at the empty room, looking somewhat confused.

Seeing this, Ian asked:

"Is there someone waiting for you here?"

"Yeah." Kintaro nodded while holding the gold.

"Grandma should be waiting for me here."

"..."

Ian realized something was wrong.

He hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice:

"Kintaro, does the grandma you are talking about look like this?"

[You described the appearance of the ghost described by Usui Sadamitsu to Kintaro.]

You hope the result will not be what you thought.

【But unfortunately, the opposite happened. 】

After listening to Ian's description, Kintaro clapped his hands happily.

"Yeah! Yeah! That's it!"

"You know Grandma!"

"..."

Ian didn't know what to reply for a moment.

He didn't want his description to correspond to the "grandma" mentioned by Kintaro.

But now it seems that the two are the same.

This also means a sad fact.

The monster killed by his adopted son Usui Sadamitsu was the "A-lao" who lived with Kintaro in this mountain.

She was indeed doing evil.

But at the same time, I'm afraid he did this for Kintaro.

He himself didn't know this.

After learning that Ian seemed to know his "grandmother", Kintaro became very concerned.

"Where is grandma?"

"..."

Ian wasn't sure how Kintaro would react if he told him the truth.

Let's just make it go for now.

"Oh... She went to a very far place and won't be back for a while."

"That's why I had you taken back to Heian-kyō."

This is a lie.

But Ian knew that if he didn't do this, it would probably make things more complicated.

"That's it!"

Kintaro didn't doubt Ian's words.

After all, to him, Ian, who has the same gold nuggets as himself, cannot be a bad person.

"Hopefully! She'll come back soon!"

"maybe."

Ian knew this was not a suitable topic to continue talking about.

He quickly changed the subject.

"Then Kintaro, where is the boy you mentioned?"

"Boy!"

Kintaro looked around, looking like he was searching for something.

Soon, he dug out a wine gourd from the corner of the room.

"This is?"

Looking at Kintaro and the wine gourd in his hand, Ian was a little confused.

"Given by the boy! Great stuff!"

Kintaro looked at the wine gourd in his hand as if he were treating it as gold.

Clearly, this is something he feels is very important.

But in Ian's eyes, this wine gourd has other uses.

"Kintaro, can you let me see it?"

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Kintaro nodded.

"Give."

【You took the wine gourd from Kintaro. 】

[The Talented Great Yin-Yang Master++ has been activated: You begin to use your Yin-Yang technique to examine this wine gourd. ]

【Just as you thought. 】

[This wine gourd is not a simple wine gourd. ]

[You can feel the breath of "ghosts" from above. ]

[The Secret Hidden Forever by Talent + Activated: Just like before, you once again draw the image of the ghost in your mind. ]

[It becomes more and more obvious before your eyes.]

You finally got a name.

"Shuten-doji."

Ian subconsciously said the name in his mind.

"what!"

Kintaro became even more excited as he looked at Ian in front of him.

"Good friend! Do you know her?"

"……probably."

After confirming that the "friend" Kintaro was referring to was a ghost, Ian felt a little complicated.

However, he knew that as an Onmyoji, he absolutely could not hesitate on such matters.

Ghosts are born from "thoughts", and even the slightest hesitation is a crisis for the Onmyoji himself.

"Kintaro, do you have any way to find her?"

"No need to look for it!" Kintaro laughed.

"She'll come on her own!"

"She will come of her own accord?"

"Yeah." Kintaro nodded, "Fill the wine gourd with water! She'll come!"

You realize this is a great opportunity.

[As an Onmyoji, you will not miss any opportunity to kill a demon. 】
