The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"I know."

Ibaraki Douji grabbed the Great Onmyoji's hand.

"But it's wine."

"I think since Mr. Abe has made up his mind... the best thing for us to do is to support him."

"I am also reluctant to part with Lord Abe's big stick."

"but--"

"I also don't want to see Lord Abe unable to protect what he cherishes."

“That’s a very cruel thing.”

"..."

Shuten-doji knew this very well.

She just didn't want to accept that the person she loved had to die for another person.

"Hate!"

Shuten-doji shouted.

“We don’t want to support it!”

After saying these words, the female ghost turned around and ran out of the mansion set up by the great Onmyoji.

"Shuten!"

Ibaraki Douji was about to chase after him but was stopped by Ian who was standing beside him.

"Ibaraki, I'll go."

"You can get familiar with the environment here."

"..."

Ibaraki Douji looked at the great Onmyoji beside him and nodded.

"I understand."

【You left this mansion.】

[You begin to look for Shuten-doji.]

Your goal is clear.

[You come to the wine shop.]

[You found Shuten-doji. ]

"Shuten, I found you."

Ian said gently as he looked at Shuten-doji who was hiding in the alley and wiping his tears.

"You run really fast."

"Eh?"

Shuten-doji looked at the great Onmyoji who appeared in front of him with surprise.

"Uncle, how did you find me so quickly?!"

"Because you like it here so much."

Ian glanced at the wine shop next door.

"You may not realize it yourself... every time you come out, you turn this way intentionally or unintentionally."

The Great Onmyoji is not talking nonsense.

Shuten-doji's love for wine is so terrible that sometimes even she herself doesn't understand how terrible it is.

"..."

Hearing this, Shuten-doji stood up and was about to run away again.

But this time, Ian grabbed her hand.

"Jiu Teng, you can't run away."

“We always have to deal with this kind of thing.”

"..."

Shuten-doji turned around.

She looked at this man who was much taller than her, and her small body began to twitch.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The female ghost started crying, and the whole ghost looked very embarrassed.

"But we don't want to!"

"It would be more painful for us to watch an old man die than not being able to drink!"

"..."

Ian bent down and held Shuten-doji in his arms.

He gently stroked her back and whispered softly in her ear:

"I know."

"This is something that is difficult for you to accept."

"But--"

"Shuten, if it were you."

"When Ibaraki is in danger and you have a chance to save her, what will you do?"

"Wow, uh...of course we'll save Ibaraki!"

Shuten-doji cried so hard that even his voice began to tremble.

"But wow... this situation is different!"

"Do not."

Ian wiped the tears from Shuten Doji's eyes and kissed her on the forehead again.

"Shuten, you know they are the same."

"You'd risk your life for something you value, wouldn't you?"

"But without uncle, what shall we do in the future?"

Shuten-doji responded with sobs.

"We are useless! If uncle is not here, we can't do anything!"

"Will not."

Ian looked at Shuten-doji.

"Shuten is not a waste."

"Shuten is a very powerful demon."

"Even if I'm gone, you and Ibaraki will definitely be able to live well in Heian-kyo."

"Besides -"

"And Xiaoyu will take care of you."

"..."

Shuten-doji realized that the Great Onmyoji had already thought of all the problems.

This was something he had decided after careful consideration - it could never be changed.

Realizing that the situation was inevitable, Shuten-doji buried his head in the great Onmyoji's chest.

Her little hands were tightly clutching his clothes, and she was muttering softly.

"It's all the cow's fault."

"I hate that cow so much...I will never forgive her..."

"..."

【You don’t have much to say.】

[You can only wait silently for Shuten-doji to vent his inner emotions. ]

【Fortunately, this process is not long. 】

[Perhaps, she does agree with what you just said. ]

Shuten-doji sniffed and looked up at Ian.

She still couldn't accept this.

But she also knew she couldn't stop him.

"Uncle...if you really want to do this, there will be a problem, right?"

"what is the problem?"

"That's how a cow could possibly kill you?"

"She obviously loves you too."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"So I couldn't let her know what I did."

"But how is this possible?!" Shuten Douji looked at Ian in confusion.

"If I were to kill you, I would definitely know who you are!"

Ian looked at Shuten-doji in his arms, his eyes filled with determination after repeated thinking.

"That's true given my current status."

"so--"

"Shuten, I need your help."

"My help?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded and then looked into the distance.

"Use your power to bring another One Hundred Demons Night Parade to Heian-kyō."

"I will be killed by Raikou as a demon at that time."

"That way, she won't realize anything is wrong."

160. In the name of a ghost, let’s die quietly that night (End of Volume )

【Your plan is continuing. 】

[You know that under normal circumstances, Minamoto no Raikou would never swing a knife at you.]

[You need to find a scene in which she will not realize that she has killed you.]

【That is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. 】

[You know that if you could disguise yourself as a demon at that time, Minamoto no Raikou could kill you without you knowing.]

[You told Shuten-doji your plan. ]

"..."

After hearing the entire plan, Shuten-doji was silent for a long time before speaking again:

"Uncle, do you want to pretend to be the ghost you dislike the most and then be killed by that cow?"

"I really didn't like ghosts before."

Ian hugged Shuten-doji in his arms a little tighter.
