The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

【You decide to put this wine gourd to good use. 】

"Then Kintaro, shall we fill up the wine gourd now?"

"it is good!"

Clear mountain spring water was poured into the wine gourd.

Ian also began to cast layers of spells around it - things that ordinary monsters could never withstand.

Kintaro was eagerly waiting for Shuten-doji to appear.

Ian was watching everything in secret.

As the most powerful Onmyoji in the entire Heian-kyo, he was absolutely confident that he could kill the monster on the spot.

But things didn't go as smoothly as expected.

Although the wine gourd was filled with water as Kintaro requested, Shuten-doji did not appear as he had said.

Ian didn't think Kintaro would lie - his mental state was not enough to support him doing such a thing.

Then there is only one possibility.

This wine gourd does not have the effect he said.

"Why don't you come out..."

Kintaro looked a little disappointed.

It can be seen that he has used this thing to find Shutenwanzi many times before.

"Maybe it's just not the right time yet."

Ian comforted Kintaro in this way, and then, while Kintaro was still emotionally stable, he began to look for something nearby.

This is a very simple truth.

Since Kintaro's wine gourd has no practical effect, Shuten-doji can always appear in front of him.

So--

There is some means nearby that would allow her to do this.

Maybe she is nearby.

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: You begin to use your Onmyoji to investigate the situation nearby. ]

[You did find some traces of "ghosts".]

【But you soon realize that this might be a relic left over from the previous battle between Usui Sadamitsu and Yamaubada.】

[This is not something that can be cleared up in a short period of time. ]

[Even for an Onmyoji like you, it would take quite a while. ]

【However, things soon took a turn for the better. 】

[Because you heard a strange voice. ]

"Hey, uncle, are you looking for me?"

A sound never heard before.

Ian turned around and saw a petite figure.

She was seen standing barefoot on the road in the woods, her whole body covered by a large piece of cloth.

She exuded a light aroma of wine all over her body, as if she herself was a bottle of natural fine wine.

The cute face comes with a playful look.

But the most eye-catching part is the pair of horns on her head.

"Are you Shuten-doji?" Ian asked directly.

"Oh my, you actually know me."

Shuten-doji folded his arms across his chest.

"It seems that the uncle is really well-informed."

"But such an uncle——"

"Why are you hanging out with that blond kid?"

Even without further confirmation, Ian knew that the "blonde kid" that Shuten-doji was talking about was Kintaro.

Just being fair.

It was really funny to hear such words coming from her body shape.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Ian replied coldly.

He never had a good impression of ghosts.

"Don't say that." Shuten-doji was still as frivolous as before.

"Even if he's an Onmyoji, he wouldn't let me ask any questions, right?"

"..."

Just from this one sentence, Ian knew that the Shuten-doji in front of him was completely different from the demon he had encountered before.

You have to know that in order to hunt down ghosts.

He had deliberately concealed the Onmyoji aura on his body - after all, if he let it dissipate at will, even the weakest ghosts would be scared away on the spot.

And now, Shuten-doji saw it himself.

But having said that, Ian was not afraid of her at all.

After all, "ghosts" are always just "ghosts". In front of me who can use the five elements to control yin and yang, there must be a way to kill her.

The atmosphere around him began to surge.

Shuten-doji soon discovered that the ground around him was distorted, as if it was going to swallow up his feet.

But she did not hide away from it, but let it all develop.

Rumble.

Shuten-doji's feet were "locked".

In this way, the ghosts' best skill of escaping will no longer exist.

Ian pulled out his pocket knife.

This is a weapon that has put an end to many ghosts.

It's perfect for killing Shuten-doji.

He walked towards the other person step by step, but all he heard was a sigh.

"Oh, come on, can't you just listen to me a few more times?"

"At least tell me what happened between you and that blond kid before you die."

"You don't need to know."

Ian never said anything useless.

He picked up the knife in his hand and stabbed Shuten-doji in front of him.

The opponent did not make any evasive move.

The knife pierced her chest, but no blood splattered.

Shuten-doji started laughing.

"Uncle~ You don't really think you can kill me with this, do you?"

"If that's the case, I feel underestimated."

It's a clone.

Ian realized this immediately.

No wonder she never dodged any attack - because there was no need to do so.

And it was precisely because of this that she appeared in front of him so blatantly.

but……

Why didn't she appear in front of Kintaro just now?

"Hahahaha~"

Shuten-doji laughed even more happily.

At the last moment before she disappeared, she said:

"The uncle seems very unconvinced."

"Let's do this~"

"Since the blond kid also said he wanted to come visit where I live, and the uncle looks like he wants to kill me so much."

"Then come to see me at Oeyama!"

124. Brothers who finally accepted each other/The Four Heavenly Kings of Raiko! (-word chapter)

Shuten-doji's clone turned into black particles and dissipated bit by bit.

But what she said remained deeply in Ian's mind.

"Oeyama."

A place Ian had never known before but that sounded very familiar.

The shadows soon dissipated,

No trace was left on the ground.

And Kintaro ran out from the other side, shouting.

"The boy still hasn't come!"

"..."

Ian glanced at the place where Shuten-doji had just been.

"She probably won't come."

"But, Kintaro, I think I might be able to take you to see her."

"Really?!"

"Really, but you have to listen to me carefully."

"Okay! Okay! I will!"

[Out of guilt, you accompanied Kintaro to play in this mountain for a day. ]

[But you have not forgotten the "invitation" from Shuten-doji. ]

[You know you will definitely go to the appointment, but not now.]

[The next day, you and Kintaro returned to Heian-kyō together. ]

[You told Minamoto no Raikou exactly what you saw and heard. ]

"This……"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him, his brows furrowed and his expression seemed a little serious.

"Are you saying that Sadamitsu accidentally killed Kintaro's mother?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "That's basically it."

"hiss……"

Minamoto no Raikou took a deep breath.
