When he returned from the dying place, Ian felt that the era of Hyakki Yakou had not fallen with the death of Shuten Doji.

On the contrary, the entire Heianjing seems to have become more noisy.

This is not a good thing.

Ian has a bad feeling,

This feeling soon turned into reality.

Minamoto no Yoriguang hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Yes, sir."

"The sight of hundreds of ghosts walking at night has not disappeared, and..."

"And what?" Ian asked.

"Madam, there is no need to hold anything back in front of me."

Minamoto Noraimitsu looked at the man in front of him, smiled and nodded.

"Well, husband, you are right."

"I... think these new ghosts have a very strong purpose."

"Very purposeful?"

"Yes." Minamoto Norimitsu nodded again.

"They seem to be here to destroy Heianjing."

"This is a more aggressive action than last time."

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment and then asked:

"Madam, during the time I was unconscious, nothing major happened in Beijing, right?"

"not at all."

Minamoto norimitsu showed a pleased smile.

"Tsuna and the others are working very hard to share the responsibilities for me."

"So even though the ghosts are coming in force, we can actually maintain the same scene as before."

"That's great."

The two were chatting until now when a voice came from outside.

"Miss, it's time for you to go to court."

Naturally, the servant outside the door couldn't know that Ian was awake.

and so--

This is the "insurance" to remind Minamoto Yorimitsu not to forget the time because he is worried about Ian.

"..."

Listening to the call coming from outside, Minamoto no Laiguang looked at Ian, with a lot of reluctance in his eyes.

However, the latter suddenly reached out his hand to comfort her:

"Ma'am, business matters."

"The master is no longer here, and Genji can only rely on you to support him now."

"If business is delayed because of me, I will become Genji's sinner."

"..."

"My husband is right."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu leaned forward a little and gently left a kiss on Ian's face.

"Husband, if there is any problem, please send someone to call me as soon as possible."

"And...I will tell the others the good news that you woke up."

"Well, I see."

[You are the only one left in the room. 】

[Actually, if possible, you would also like to stay with Minamoto Yorimitsu for a while. 】

[It’s just that you know that you have more important things to do than this beautiful tenderness. 】

[The blessing of the talented Shuten-douji has been activated: you have released the Shuten-douji that is locked in your consciousness. 】

[You have something to ask her. 】

"Eh?"

The Shuten boy who was released didn't come back to his senses for a while.

She touched her head several times before she realized what had happened.

"Are we coming out?!"

"Uncle~ You are indeed very good! I can't bear to see us being locked up in your head!"

"Shuten Doji, you seem to have understood something wrong."

Ian looked at the petite girl in front of him with a very serious expression.

"I'm not calling you out because of how nice I am."

"It's—"

"I want to ask you a question."

"..."

Shuten Doji turned his face away, looking a little unhappy.

She whispered:

"This tone is too unpleasant. We are not your subordinates."

"first question."

"So you're not listening to us at all?!"

"Yes."

Ian looked directly at the Shuten boy in front of him who had been stripped of all his power.

"You should know that you don't have any right to make a choice now."

"and--"

"If you want to figure out what I am, shouldn't you do your best to help me?"

"..."

Ian's words made Shuten Doji fall into silence.

Finally, she nodded.

"Okay, we get it."

"But let's talk about it first——"

"We are just the ghost king of the country, not some god who knows everything about heaven and earth."

"We may not be able to answer the questions you asked!"

Ian nodded.

"I know."

"I'm not saying you have to answer all the questions - but at least you have to be honest."

"Okay, okay." Shuten Doji raised his hand, "There's no need to say these words."

"Ask quickly."

"Well."

Shuten Doji is not confused, and neither is Ian.

"After you die, ghosts will still appear in Heianjing... Are your men seeking revenge for you?"

"Eh?"

Listening to Ian's words, Shuten Doji seemed a little surprised.

"Are there any ghosts appearing?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "And it's a little more powerful than before."

"I was wondering, could this be something your men did?"

"This one……"

Listening to Ian's words, Shuten Doji fell into deep thought.

She shook her head and replied:

"Then we think it's unlikely."

"why?"

"because--"

Shuten Doji scratched his face, looking a little embarrassed.

"Although we were constantly sending men to Ping An Jing at that time."

"But if it really happens after we die, I don't think they will continue to dare to do this kind of thing."

"after all."

Shuten Doji put his hands on his back.

"We are the ghost king of the country."

"If even the ghost king is killed, even if there are still ghosts under us who want to cause trouble, I'm afraid they won't have the courage."

"Ah."

Ian suddenly felt a little funny.

"It's obvious that you were defeated, but why do I feel like you're still a little proud?"

"Even if you are defeated, you will still score points!"

Shuten Doji argued unconvinced.

"If we were defeated by an ordinary person, we definitely wouldn't say there's anything worth showing off."

"Can--"

"To be able to make that big-breasted woman burst out with such power, and to be defeated only after being attacked by a sneak attack, we are considered to be quite capable, right?"

[You do not deny Shuten Doji’s words. 】

[Although the memory is a little blurry, you can still vaguely recall what Yorimitsu looked like at that time. 】

[You are sure that is definitely not an ability she can use normally. 】

[However, you still have some thoughts about Shuten Douji. 】

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

Ian asked again.

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

"..."

"Why do we feel that you are secretly stepping into the world?"

Although Shuten Doji muttered like this, his head still started to think seriously.
