"My situation is different from yours."

"You are in a dying state with a chance to return, but I am already dead. There is nothing to be obsessed with."

"Then don't you miss your Dajiangshan?" Ian asked.

"Of course I miss you."

Shuten-doji answered without hesitation.

"But I also thought that this day would come."

"After all, humans can't accept ghosts. We have tried our best."

[You realize that the chaos of ghosts in Heian-kyō might not just be caused by Shuten-doji.]

[She is actually also trying the possibility of ghosts and humans coexisting. ]

[But in terms of results——this cannot be done. ]

【A ghost is a ghost.】

【People are people.】

[Separating humans from demons is one of the reasons for Onmyoji’s existence. 】

[Although you understood this, you did not agree to her request.]

"Let's talk about it first."

Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him.

"I want to know how you judge."

"..."

Shuten-doji is very vigilant.

She did not answer immediately.

"What if after we finish talking, you don't want to do it anymore?"

"But you have no choice at all."

Ian answered directly.

"There may be other ways for me to get back."

"As for you, the only possibility left is to rely on me to go back."

"..."

Shuten-doji spat—but she really had no choice.

"Ok."

"I told you - the way we judge is wine."

"Ghosts have wine that they can drink, and humans have wine that they can drink."

"And there is no such thing as a wine that is right for you."

Ian quickly realized that Shuten-douji was referring to the smell of alcohol that emanated from her in the fire.

It seemed to be something that was created with the premise of "drinking".

But it's obvious.

For Ian, it didn't do anything.

"Is this what your criteria are?" Ian couldn't help but say.

"Don't underestimate our wine."

Shuten-doji looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him.

"Truth comes out when you're drunk."

“Many things that cannot be described in words can be easily solved with wine.”

"so--"

"Now that we're done, you should give me some reaction."

"..."

Ian looked at the petite ghost girl in front of him with a complicated expression.

for a long time.

He spoke again:

"I see."

"Since you want to know the answer to this mystery as much as I do, I should give you a chance."

"but--"

"You must give me all your power."

"Leave it to you?!" Shuten-doji's face was filled with anxiety, "Wouldn't that mean I would be like a piece of trash controlled by you?"

"But if you continue to stay here, you will be no different from trash."

"Besides -"

Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him.

"This way, you can also learn what you want to know firsthand. What's wrong with that?"

"..."

Shuten-doji fell into deep thought.

Finally, she nodded as if in compromise.

"We understand."

"But I don't know if you can withstand my power, uncle."

"You don't have to worry about that."

[You have reached a contract with Shuten-doji. ]

[The blessing of Shuten-doji has been obtained: You have obtained most of Shuten-doji's power and controlled her in your consciousness. ]

【She becomes the spirit behind your existence that you can control. 】

[This way, you won't have to worry about her causing trouble after she returns to the human world.]

[You didn't have any physical problems because of this - this surprised Shuten-doji again.]

【But you don’t care what she thinks. 】

[Because your goal is to return to Minamoto no Raikou. ]

But when you cross that line, you feel something is not right.

The era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has not ended.

Is there another demon as powerful as Shuten-doji?

128. Shuten-doji is confirming another ghost (-word chapter)

【You woke up.】

【This is great news for Minamoto no Raikou. 】

Bang.

The tray and the medicine on it fell to the ground, breaking into black and white flowers.

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes were trembling.

She rubbed the corners of her eyes several times with her hands, confirming what she saw over and over again.

Seeing this, Ian smiled calmly and said:

"Ma'am, there is no need to doubt it anymore."

"it's me."

"Husband—!"

Minamoto no Raikou came to the man with tears in his eyes and hugged him tightly.

"You finally woke up..."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Sorry, it's my problem."

Ian stroked Minamoto no Raikou's soft long hair with tenderness in his eyes.

The two people looked at each other, and only each other was left in each other's eyes.

Emotional catharsis becomes a necessary action.

The lips of both parties touched together, forming an enclosed and moist space.

The tongues wriggled like intricate tree roots until they became entangled with each other.

for a long time.

The warrior reluctantly let the great Onmyoji go and gently pulled out some silver threads.

And there is still an attachment in her eyes that cannot be cut off.

Ian certainly understood why Minamoto no Raikou had this emotion.

He smiled and said:

"Madam is still as enthusiastic as ever. I feel like my ribs are almost broken from your hug."

"Does my husband hate me for doing this?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at him in front of him, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"How can I hate it?"

Ian stroked the soft purple hair, feeling the delicate texture.

"It's better to say that Madam's situation is all caused by me."

"I should have woken up sooner."

"That's not the case." Minamoto no Raikou shook his head, "This is not something you can decide, my husband."

"Being able to meet each other again like this is much better than I ever imagined."

"……Too."

Ian's gaze fell on Minamoto no Raikou, who had taken care of him tirelessly over the past two years, and his eyes were deeply moved.

"Madam, please tell me what happened in the past two years."

"no problem."

【Minamoto no Raikou is very happy to tell you what happened in the past two years. 】

【You know some important changes of Genji. 】

[For example, Minamoto no Mitsunaka's death and Minamoto no Raikou's promotion to succeed his father. ]

[She is already a unique figure in Kyoto. ]

You realize that she has been carrying a lot of pressure all by herself.

[But she never gave up taking care of you during this period. ]

[You can feel the fatigue in her eyes.]

She really tried hard.

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

"You have indeed become a lot stronger."
