The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

[However, you still have some thoughts about Shuten-doji's words. ]

"Are you sure there is really no ghost who will avenge you?"

Ian asked again.

"It's impossible that the entire Dajiang Mountain is useless except for you, right?"

"..."

"Why do we feel like you are secretly stepping on Dajiangshan?"

Although Shuten-doji muttered this, he was still thinking seriously.

The pair of angry horns on her head were also flashing.

Soon, she replied:

"If you say so, I do think there is another ghost who can do this."

"who is it?"

"Ibaraki... for you, I should call him Ibaraki Douji, right?"

Shuten-doji spoke carelessly.

"If there is anyone in the entire Dajiang Mountain who is capable of causing a big commotion after my death, it would probably be her."

"Then can you be sure that she did it?" Ian asked immediately.

"Uncle, please don't give us any problems, okay?!"

Shuten-doji was a little anxious.

"We are not gods, how can we know it so easily?"

"What if——"

Ian looked at the petite ghost girl in front of him.

"Can I let you go around the capital?"

"..."

Shuten-doji is not slow.

She quickly understood what Ian meant - he wanted to take her to see the places where ghosts had been.

In this way, we can confirm what we just said.

"Uncle, you really use me as a tool."

"Don't talk about these nonsense, just tell me if it's okay or not?"

“…Let’s try it first.”

"We'll try our best."

[The innate mountain and water flow has been activated: Under your influence, Shuten-doji was recognized as a servant in the mansion, and no one doubted it. ]

[And rather than figuring out why there was another "person" beside you, the servants in the mansion wanted to know how you woke up. ]

[But at this moment, you don’t have the heart to explain this to them. ]

[You just want to know who is endangering Heian-kyō. ]

[You must never allow any ghost to harm Minamoto no Raikou. ]

[You took Shuten-doji outside. ]

"Eh?!"

Shuten-doji looked at the wine that Ian bought for him and blinked, looking very surprised.

"You want to give this to us?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Shuten-doji, I'm not the kind of Onmyoji who only knows how to exploit others."

"Just do your job well, and I will never treat you unfairly."

"This is one of Kyoto's finest wines - I'm giving it to you as a token of my sincerity."

"..."

Shuten-doji hugged the bottle of wine tightly.

"This is what you said!"

"We don't like lies!"

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: Although you have been in a coma for more than two years, you have not forgotten what you can do as a Great Onmyoji. ]

[You take Shuten-doji to the streets of Kyoto and visit places where ghosts have appeared before.]

[You hope this will directly help you determine who the ghost is that caused trouble after Shuten-doji. ]

【But things are not as simple as imagined. 】

"wrong."

"None of it is right."

Shuten-doji, holding the bottle of wine, kept shaking his head.

"okay!"

"You don't have to take me anywhere else!"

"It's definitely not Ibaraki who did this - she wouldn't resort to such means."

"..."

Ian did not doubt Shuten-doji's words.

After all, for her, there was no point in lying about such things.

But this puts Ian in front of a new problem.

If it wasn't for Ibaraki Douji, Shuten Douji's subordinate—

Who would that be?

As if seeing Ian's concerns, Shuten-doji continued:

"Hey, uncle!"

"Don't be so quick to be disappointed!"

"Although I know it's not Ibaraki Douji, I'm not completely clueless~"

"..."

"Don't look at me like that!"

"We're not kidding."

Shuten-doji looked at the place in front of him that had been renovated after being destroyed by ghosts.

"I think..."

"Behind these ghosts, there seems to be a being very similar to your busty woman~"

"What did you say?"

129. The other ghost is Minamoto no Raikou himself? (-word chapter)

"what do you mean?"

Ian suddenly became concerned by Shuten-doji's words.

"What does it mean to be the same as Raikou?"

“Isn’t this something that is easy to understand?”

Shuten-doji looked up at the man next to him, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"If it were us, why would we send a ghost here in such a fancy way?"

"This kind of regular disturbance is definitely a human strategy, not a ghost strategy, right?"

"You may not feel it, but we experienced exactly the same thing when we were in Dajiangshan."

"..."

Shuten-doji is right.

Compared to the last "grand occasion" of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons caused by the Oeyama Demon King.

The current ghost troubles do have many similarities with the strategies used by Minamoto no Raikou when he led his troops in battle.

and--

Ian looked back at the places he had traveled with Shuten-doji along the way.

He could feel that these ghosts who were sent from nowhere were very familiar with Heian-kyo.

This is definitely not the understanding that the ghosts can have - after all, neither himself nor Minamoto no Raikou would ever allow them to appear in Heian-kyo.

of course.

Shuten-doji is an exception at this moment.

Ian must follow his promise to her - Yin-Yang Master cannot lie.

Apart from this, the current situation means one thing.

That is, there is a ghost who knows Heian-kyō very well and is planning all this in secret.

If we can find it and get rid of it, perhaps we can truly end the era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

but--

How to find it?

The reason why Shuten-doji was found before was because of Sakata Kintoki's accident.

But this time, there won’t be another Sakata Kintoki, right?

Ian, realizing this, couldn't help but frown.

"..."

Shuten-doji looked at him like this, hesitated for a while, and said:

"Hey! Don't be like that!"

"It's just a ghost! Is there any need to show such an expression?! Show the same courage you showed when you came to our Oeyama!"

"..."

"Are you encouraging me?"

Ian looked at the petite ghost girl beside him.

"Stop being so self-righteous."

Shuten-doji supported his waist with his hands and looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him with disdain.

"We are just returning the favor of the wine you gave us."

"I am the Ghost King of Mount Oe, how could I possibly encourage a great Onmyoji like you?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ian glanced at the bottle of wine in Shuten-doji's hand and quickly realized her true thoughts.

"So you want to drink?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Ian, Shuten-doji admitted it directly.

"Yes!"

"I love fine wine. Since you said this is one of the best wines in Kyoto."
