"after all--"

"She looks like she has no idea that Ugly Gozen exists."

"...That's right."

Shuten-doji scratched his face.

"Based on her attitude towards you, she would definitely rather become an ugly queen than let you take this risk."

"So, uncle, who is it?"

Ian did not hide anything and answered directly:

"I feel like it was Raikou's father, Minamoto Manchu."

"Minamoto Manzhong..."

Shuten-doji was muttering this topic in a low voice when he suddenly came to his senses.

"Wait a minute! Didn't you tell me this man was dead?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "But at present, it seems that many things are still related to him."

"If nothing else, at least the power in Lai Guang is inseparable from his choice, right?"

"So I want to investigate this matter after I return."

"..."

Shuten-doji was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating whether to mention something.

Finally she said:

"In that case, uncle, are you still going to do these things without telling Minamoto no Raikou?"

"of course."

Ian smiled.

"If she knew that her father made such a choice because of Genji... I think it would definitely not be a good thing."

"..."

Shuten-doji was silent for a while, then he sighed, supported his waist with both hands and said:

"I can't help it."

"It seems that we have to continue to help the uncle... After all, there is no way to tell people around us about this kind of thing, right?"

"bring it on."

Shuten-doji extended his hand toward Ian.

"Let's take back our power first. Then, uncle won't have to worry about us anymore, right?"

"..."

Looking at the little hand in front of him, Ian hesitated for a moment, then pushed it back.

"Shuten, no need."

"You don't have to give this power back to me."

"..."

Shuten-doji frowned slightly.

The hand that was pushed back looked a little uneasy.

"Uncle, aren't you worried that we will continue to do evil?"

"Of course I'm worried."

"But--"

Ian looked at the petite female ghost in front of him, with a little more friendliness in his eyes.

"If you really have this idea, you should leave before I come back."

"Shuten, I have to admit something now."

"You did change my mind about ghosts a little - you're not emotionless."

"I also know——"

Ian looked at Ibaraki Douji who was still looking at the sea.

"You know how to protect your friends."

"From this point of view, you are no longer my prey."

Shuten-doji was silent for a moment, then replied:

"Uncle...are you giving up on killing ghosts?"

"I can't say I'm giving up. When it's time to take action, I won't hesitate."

"It's just——"

"I'm beginning to think that the Heian period might have had a part that belonged to demons, but that was all."

"Uncle..."

Shuten-doji turned his face away.

"You're such an idiot."

[The blessing of Shuten-doji has been lost: You can no longer seal Shuten-doji's power. 】

[The gifted ghost treasure has been obtained: You have become a person that Shuten-doji values ​​very much. ]

[She swore in her heart that she would thoroughly investigate the matter concerning the Holy Grail for you.]

134. The Secret Love Story of the Female Kid Shuten-doji (-word chapter)

[You have returned to Heian-kyō. ]

[A full month has passed since you and Shuten-doji set out.]

[Compared to the state you were in when you set out, Ibaraki Douji and the golden cup you got from Ushigozen became things you had to explain.]

[The innate mountain and water confrontation has been activated: You disguised Ibaraki Douji's identity as Shuten Douji's sister, and no one doubted it. ]

【You explained that the gold cup was a collection you bought on the road because you loved it.】

[The gift of ghosts has been activated: the returned Shuten-doji begins to expel the ghosts of Kyoto for you. ]

This is actually a very strange picture.

Peaceful capital.

"leave here!"

Shuten-doji, who turned red on the street, ordered the ghosts in front of her who were obviously weaker than her.

soon.

Before the foot soldiers from Heian-kyo arrived here, the streets had already returned to their former tranquility.

Under the cover of night, Shuten-douji took Ibaraki-douji and hid in the dark.

"Whoo~"

The petite female ghost wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled smugly.

"These stupid humans still want to discover us?"

"think too much!"

"But--"

Ibaraki Douji, who was taken aside by Shuten Douji to hide, looked very confused.

"Shuten, there is one thing I don't understand."

"what's up?"

Shuten-doji turned around and looked at his good friend beside him with a happy face.

"What don't you understand? Just tell us!"

"that is--"

Ibaraki Douji looked towards the place where the ghosts had just been.

"Weren't those ghosts just now the same as us?"

"Why do you want to chase them away? Wouldn't it be better to let them cause a big commotion in Heian-kyō?"

"..."

Shuten-doji's expression suddenly became somewhat awkward - this question coming from his subordinate and friend was really too sharp.

It took her a while to think of a way out of this predicament.

"Izuki, you don't understand this!"

"We, this is to ensure that no ghosts can snatch Heian-kyō from us in the future, so we drive them all away in advance!"

“Is that so?!”

Golden stars appeared in Ibaraki Douji's eyes.

"As expected of Shuten! He will be able to achieve the great revival of the demon clan wherever he goes!"

"Big, probably..."

Shuten-douji felt more and more embarrassed as he looked at Ibaraki-douji who was full of admiration.

She couldn't tell her good friend what she was thinking at this moment - she actually no longer wanted to revive the ghost clan.

The so-called actions were all to share the worries of the great Onmyoji.

Shuten-doji felt that he was not worthy of the title of Demon King of Mount Oe.

but--

This feeling is not bad.

【You haven't forgotten your purpose. 】

[After returning from Onigashima, you began to investigate the matter concerning Minamoto Manchu.]

【However, this process is not as simple as imagined. 】

[Because you can't ask your four adopted sons to help, and you also have to avoid Kaiyuan Raikou. ]

【This is definitely not an easy thing for you to do. 】

[Fortunately, Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji listened to you enough, so there was no progress at all. ]

[More than a month has passed.]

In Ian's room.

Shuten-doji was stealing glances at the great Onmyoji beside him.

Her throat was moving slightly and her heart was pounding.

She had spent a month planning something - just to give him something today.

"what happened?"

Ian was busy with the information recorded in the bamboo scrolls, and asked without turning his head:

"Shuten, what do you want from me?"

"..."

Looking at the busy figure of the Great Onmyoji, Shuten-doji suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Um... Uncle, are you busy?"

"If you're busy, forget it."

"..."
