"Never."

【You and Minamoto no Raikou spent a sweet night. 】

[You and Shuten-doji set out on a journey to Onigashima. ]

[This is a journey where no one knows where except you and her. ]

【But you still chose it resolutely. 】

The cold wind from the sea blew across Ian's cheeks.

Shuten-doji stood beside him.

This was the third day since they set out for Onigashima following the instructions in the letter.

If nothing goes wrong.

The ship will reach its destination today.

As if feeling a little bored by the silence, Shuten-doji quickly spoke:

"Speaking of which-"

"Minamoto no Raikou really trusts you."

"I don't even know where you are going, but I still choose to give you enough help."

"Isn't that natural?"

Ian smiled.

"Husbands and wives should trust each other like this, right?"

"Otherwise, there's no way we can live together."

"..."

"That--"

Shuten-doji's eyes were vague and it took him a long time before he spoke hesitantly.

"And what about the situation where she sat on you and made noises?"

"Ok?"

Ian looked at Shuten-doji beside him.

"Sit on me and make noises?"

"Yes, yes!"

In Shuten-doji's mind, he recalled the silhouette under the moon that he had seen through the door.

Her hands couldn't help but imitate the scene.

"Didn't Minamoto no Raikou grab your hand and talk to you for a long time?!"

“I remember there were a lot of weird things!”

"If you have done something, you must honestly admit it!"

"Don't try to deny it!"

"..."

Ian looked at Shuten-doji beside him and felt both amused and angry.

"I said, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

"Of course I really don't know!" Shuten-doji blushed and shouted, "If we knew, why would we come here?!"

“Are you rationalizing your voyeurism?”

"No way!" Shuten-doji supported his waist with both hands, "We are separated by the door!"

"Besides, we have nowhere to go, so we can only stay there!"

"I found out by accident, is there any problem?"

"But I clearly arranged a room for you."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while.

After a while, she murmured softly:

"Isn't it because I've never seen it before... that's why I'm curious."

"But you are obviously the Ghost King of Dajiang Mountain, why don't you know these things?"

Just when Shuten-doji was about to defend his ignorance of sex, he suddenly felt something.

She turned around and looked in the direction the ship was heading.

In a dim state, the shape of an island appeared in front of the two people.

Everything was just as the envelope said - that must be Onigashima.

But Ian soon noticed something unusual about Shuten-doji beside him.

He felt that what she cared about was not "seeing the island" but something else.

After a moment's hesitation, Ian asked;

"what happened?"

"Did you feel anything?"

"Yeah." Shuten-doji nodded.

"I… feel like Ibaraki is up there too."

[This is a letter that was delivered directly to Genji's residence.]

【Perhaps it should not have been handed over to you.】

[But when you look at this letter, you feel like you have to open it. ]

You opened it.

The contents of the envelope were simple.

It could even be said that it was somewhat beyond Ian's expectations.

"Please ask 'me' to come to Ghost Island."

"——Chou Yu Qian Ginseng."

Apart from these two purposeful sentences, the rest is narrative content, all of which are instructions on how to reach Onigashima.

Although the content that requires careful understanding is very brief.

But Ian could feel that it was not as simple as it seemed.

First, the unknown ghost island.

This was a place name Ian had never heard of in Heian-kyo.

But the person who wrote the letter was able to clearly explain how to get to this place and the various things that need to be paid attention to along the way.

If this can be done, there are only two possibilities.

Either it is already on the island, or it has visited this place many times.

But no matter which one it is, you will find that it is not that simple when you think about it.

Second, the name used in the envelope.

This letter does not use the word "you" in a respectful sense, nor does it use the word "you" in a general sense.

Instead, a very special "I" was used.

The signature was "Ugly Gozen", a name that was almost unheard of before.

Ian couldn't understand the meaning of calling it that.

But he could feel that there was a huge secret hidden behind this name.

and so--

This may be a letter that carries some risk.

Looking at it, Ian couldn't help but frown.

And right now.

Minamoto no Raikou's voice came from outside the door.

"Husband, it's time to take your medicine."

"Although your body has almost recovered, you still have to continue to take care of yourself."

After hearing these words, Ian hid the letter, which was sent by an unknown person, in his sleeve, and then turned around and responded to Origin Raikou.

"Well, I see."

【You drink the medicine that Minamoto no Raikou prepared for you. 】

【You did not tell her about the mysterious envelope during this process. 】

[You and her were a little affectionate for a while.]

[She had some government affairs to attend to, so she left quickly.]

Ian was alone in the room once again.

His hands flickered slightly.

That is some kind of Onmyoji's technique.

then--

Shuten-doji was summoned out as the light flashed.

"Eh?"

"Are you calling me out now?" Shuten-doji yawned loudly, "It's not usually at this time, right?"

Ian and Shuten-doji's investigation has been going on for more than a year.

Although it was almost nothing.

But the Great Onmyoji also discovered that this seemingly nonchalant and even a little frivolous Demon King of Oeyama was actually very serious when it came to doing things.

So Ian's relationship with her has become much more relaxed than before.

"Of course there is something."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have called you out like this."

Having said this, Ian took out the envelope he had just hidden in his sleeve and placed it on the tatami between him and Shuten-doji.

"this?"

Shuten-doji was a little confused.

"Why are you showing us this?"

"This isn't a letter to us, is it?"

"You take a look first and then talk."

"..."

Although he still had many doubts in his heart, when he heard Ian say this, Shuten-doji knew that he had no room for rebuttal.

She picked up the letter on the tatami and looked at it carefully.

"Eh--?!"

Shuten-doji showed a surprised expression.

"Ghost Island?"

Seeing her like this, Ian asked without hesitation:
