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

The pair of angry horns on her head were also flashing.

Soon, she replied:

"If you want to put it that way, we do think there is still a ghost that can do such a thing."

"who is it?"

"Ibaraki... to you, it should be called Ibaraki Doji, right?"

Shuten Doji said carelessly.

"If there is anyone in the entire country who has the ability to make a big fuss after our death, it would be her."

"Then can you be sure if she did it?" Ian asked immediately.

"Uncle, please don't give us any problems, okay?!"

Shuten Doji was a little anxious.

"We are not gods, how could we know it so casually?"

"Then what if—"

Ian looked at the petite ghost girl in front of him.

"Can I let you go to Beijing and look around?"

"..."

Shuten Doji is not slow.

She quickly understood what Ian meant - he wanted to take this version of himself to places where ghosts had been.

In this way, the statement just made can be confirmed.

"Uncle, you really use us as a tool."

"Don't say whether these are available or not, just say it's okay?"

"...let's try it first."

"We will try our best."

[Talent Landscape Confrontation has been activated: Under your influence, Shuten Doji was recognized as a servant in the mansion, and no one suspected it. 】

[And instead of figuring out why there is another "person" next to you, the servants in the mansion want to know how you woke up. 】

[But at this moment, you have no intention of explaining this to them. 】

[You just want to know who is endangering Heian Jing. 】

[You absolutely do not allow ghosts to harm Yuan Laiguang. 】

[You brought Shuten Doji outside. 】

"Eh?!"

Shuten Doji looked at the wine Ian bought for him and blinked, looking very surprised.

"You want to give this to us?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Shuten Doji, I'm not the kind of onmyoji who just squeezes."

"If you do your job well for me, I will never treat you badly."

"This is one of Kyoto's fine wines—I give it to you as a sincere statement."

"..."

Shuten Doji hugged the bottle of wine tightly.

"That's what you said!"

"We don't like lying things!"

[The Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: Although you have been in a coma for more than two years, you have not forgotten what you can do as a Great Onmyoji. 】

[You take Shuten Doji on the streets of Kyoto to visit places where ghosts have appeared. 】

[You hope this can directly help you determine who the ghost is that caused trouble after Shutun Doji. 】

[But things are not as simple as imagined. 】

"wrong."

"Neither is right."

Shuten Doji, who was holding the bottle of wine, shook his head.

"okay!"

"You don't have to take me to other places anymore!"

"This is definitely not Ibaraki's doing - she would not use such means."

"..."

Ian did not doubt Shuten Doji's words.

After all, it makes no sense to her to lie about this kind of thing.

But as a result, a new problem appeared in front of Ian.

If it weren't for Shuten-douji's subordinate Ibaraki-douji——

Who would that be?

Seemingly sensing Ian's concerns, Shuten Doji continued:

"Hey, uncle!"

"Don't be so eager to be disappointed!"

"Although we know it's not Ibaraki-douji, we haven't discovered nothing~"

"..."

"Don't look at us like that!"

"We're not kidding."

Shuten Doji looked at the place in front of him that had been renovated after being destroyed by ghosts.

"We think..."

"Behind these ghosts, there seems to be a being very similar to your busty lady~"

"What did you say?"

129. The other ghost is Minamoto Noraimitsu himself? ([-] words chapter)

"what do you mean?"

Ian was instantly concerned by Shuten Doji's words.

"What does it mean to be the same existence as Raimitsu?"

"Isn't this something easy to understand?"

Shuten Doji looked up at the man beside him, with a little pride in his tone.

"Look, if it were us, how could we send a ghost here in such a polite manner?"

"The current regular troubles are based on human tactics, not ghost tactics, right?"

"You may not feel it, but we experienced exactly the same thing when we were in Dajiangshan."

"..."

Shuten Douji was right.

Compared with the last "grand occasion" of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade caused by this Ghost King of the Great River and Mountains.

Today's ghost troubles do have many similarities with Minamoto Noraimitsu's strategy when he led his troops in battle.

and--

Ian looked back at the places he and Shuten Doji visited along the way.

He could feel that these ghosts sent from nowhere were very familiar with Heian Jing.

This is definitely not a knowledge that ghosts can have - after all, neither he nor Minamoto Yorimitsu will allow them to appear in Heian Kyo.

of course.

Shuten Doji is an exception at this moment.

Ian must keep the promise he made to her - the Onmyoji cannot lie.

Apart from this, the current situation means one thing.

That is, there is a ghost who knows Heianjing very well and is planning all this secretly.

If it can be found and dealt with, perhaps the era of Hyakki Yakou can be truly ended.

but--

How to find it?

The reason why I was able to find Shuten Douji before was because of Sakata Kintoki's accident.

But this time, there won’t be another Sakata Kintoki, right?

Ian, who realized this, couldn't help but frowned.

"..."

Shuten Doji looked at him like this, hesitated for a while, and said:

"Hey! Don't be like this!"

"Isn't it just a ghost! Do you need to show such an expression?! Show the same courage as when you came to our country!"

"..."

"Are you encouraging me?"

Ian looked at the petite ghost girl beside him.

"Stop being presumptuous."

Shuten Doji put his hands on his hips and looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him with disgust.

"We're just reciprocating the wine you gave us."

"We are the king of ghosts in the world, how could we encourage a great onmyoji like you?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ian glanced at the bottle in Shuten Doji's hand and soon realized what she was really thinking.

"So you want to drink?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Ian, Shuten Doji directly admitted this.

"Yes!"

"We really like fine wine, since you said this is one of the best wines in Kyoto."

"We have to try it anyway, right?"

In all fairness.

Shuten Doji knew that his idea would most likely be rejected by Ian on the spot.

But the development of things did not continue as she imagined.

Ian responded quickly:
