The world in the moon begins with becoming Morgan’s husband!

Ian comforted Kintaro in this way, and then while his mood was still stable, he began to look for something nearby.

This is a very simple truth.

Since Kintaro's sake gourd has no actual effect, Shuten Doji can always appear in front of him.

So--

There is some means nearby that would allow her to do this.

Maybe she herself is nearby.

[The talented Onmyoji++ has been activated: You start to use your Onmyoji to investigate the surrounding situation. 】

[You did find some traces of "ghosts". 】

[But you soon realized that this might be a legacy from Usui Sadamitsu’s previous battle with Yama La. 】

[This is not something that can be checked out in a short while. 】

[Even an onmyoji like you has to spend a lot of time. 】

[But things soon took a turn for the better. 】

[Because you heard a strange voice. 】

"Hey, uncle, are you looking for us?"

Sounds never heard before.

Ian turned around and saw a petite figure.

She was seen standing barefoot on the road in the forest, her whole body covered by a big cloth.

Her whole body exuded a light aroma of wine, as if she were a bottle of natural wine.

The cute face is accompanied by a playful look.

But when it comes to the most conspicuous part, it has to be the pair of angry horns on her head.

"Are you Shuten Doji?" Ian asked directly.

"Hey, you actually know this person."

Shuten Doji crossed his arms.

"Then it seems that uncle is really well-informed."

"But such an uncle——"

"Why are you so close to that blond kid?"

Even without further confirmation, Ian fully knew that the "blond kid" mentioned by Shuten Doji in front of him was Kintaro.

Just speaking in all fairness.

It's really a bit funny for someone with a figure like her to say this.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Ian replied coldly.

He never had a good impression of ghosts.

"Don't say that." Shuten Doji was still as frivolous as before.

"Even if you are an Onmyoji, you won't let us ask a single question, right?"

"..."

Just by saying this, Ian knew that the Shuten boy in front of him was completely different from the ghost he had encountered before.

You know, in order to be able to hunt down ghosts.

I had deliberately concealed the onmyoji aura on my body - after all, if it was allowed to spread out randomly, even the weakest ghosts would be frightened away on the spot.

But now, Shuten Doji saw it for himself.

But having said that, Ian is not afraid of her at all.

After all, "ghosts" are always just "ghosts". In front of myself who uses the five elements to mobilize yin and yang, there must be a way to kill her.

The atmosphere around him began to surge.

Shuten Doji soon discovered that the ground around him was distorting, as if it was about to swallow his feet.

But she didn't hide from it, but let it all develop.

Rumble.

Shuten Doji's feet were "locked".

As a result, the escape that ghosts are best at no longer exists.

Ian took out his knife.

This is a weapon that has killed many ghosts.

It's perfect for killing Shuten Douji.

He walked towards the other party step by step, but what he heard was a sigh.

"Hey, really, can't you just listen to me say a few more words?"

"At least before you die, tell people what happened between you and that blond kid?"

"You don't have to know."

Ian never said anything useless.

He picked up the knife in his hand and stabbed Shuten Doji in front of him.

The other party didn't make any dodge action.

The knife stabbed into her chest, but no blood splattered.

Shuten Doji started laughing.

"Uncle~ You don't really think you can kill me right now, do you?"

"If this is really the case, we feel underestimated."

It's a clone.

Ian realized this immediately.

No wonder she didn't dodge no matter what the attack was - because there was no need to do so.

And it was precisely because of this that she appeared in front of him so arrogantly.

but……

Why didn't you appear in front of Kintaro just now?

"Hahaha~"

Shuten Doji smiled even more happily.

The last moment before disappearing.She said:

"Uncle looks very unconvinced."

"That's it~"

"Since the blond kid also said he wanted to visit where I live, and the uncle seems to want to kill me."

"Then you come to Dajiangshan to meet me——!"

124. Finally accepted each other as brothers/Raikou Four Heavenly Kings! ([-] words chapter)

Shuten Doji's clone turned into black particles and dissipated little by little.

But what she said stayed deeply in Ian's mind.

"Dajiangshan."

A place that Ian had never known before but was very familiar to him.

The dark shadow quickly dissipated,

No trace was left on the ground.

And Kintaro ran out from the other side with a roar.

"The boy still hasn't come!"

"..."

Ian glanced at the place where Shuten Doji was just now.

"She probably won't come."

"But, Kintaro, I think I might be able to take you to see her."

"Really?!"

"Really, but you have to listen to me carefully."

"Okay! Okay! I will!"

[Out of guilt, you spent a day playing in this mountain with Kintaro. 】

[But you have not forgotten the "invitation" from Shuten Doji. 】

[You know you will definitely go to the appointment, but not now. 】

[The next day, you and Kintaro returned to Heian Kyo. 】

[You told Minamoto Norimitsu exactly what you saw and heard. 】

"This……"

Minamoto norimitsu looked at the great onmyoji in front of him, his brows furrowed and his expression looked a little serious.

"Are you saying that Sadamitsu accidentally killed Kintaro's mother?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "That's basically it."

"hiss……"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu took a breath.

"I didn't expect Kintaro to be the son of a ghost, but he himself is not a ghost at all, and he doesn't know what a ghost is."

"Maybe Shan Lama herself doesn't want Kintaro to think that she is a ghost."

Ian looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu in front of him.

"That's why I chose to do this."

"But Shuten-douji also cooperated, which surprised me a bit."

"..."

Minamoto norimitsu was silent for a while and asked another question.

"Husband, if you put it this way, ghosts are not necessarily all evil, right?"

"maybe--"

Ian's heart was not shaken.

"But to us, ghosts are things that shouldn't exist."

"Although they may have various reasons for staying in this world, in the final analysis they should leave."

"This is the duty of our Onmyoji."

"but--"

"But you still want to deal with Kintaro's matter a little bit, right?"

Before Ian could finish speaking, Minamoto norimitsu had already answered in advance with a smile.

"Madam, do you understand what I am thinking?"
