Shuten Doji opened his mouth slightly, showing an expression of disbelief.

obviously.

At this moment, let alone knowing anything, she might not even be able to accept what Ian just said.

"Is this golden cup that powerful?"

"You can actually do so many things while maintaining an entire island?"

"I do not know."

Ian answered very honestly how he was feeling at the moment.

"My initial thoughts were similar to yours."

"But since Chou Yuqian said so, I think this shouldn't be anything suspicious."

"..."

Shuten Doji's expression seemed a little subtle.

She had never seen Ugozen in person, so even if she knew it was a being who looked almost the same as Minamoto Yorimitsu, she couldn't believe it immediately.

She looked at the golden cup in front of her, thought for a while, and then said:

"That--"

"Uncle, can we touch your golden cup?"

"of course can."

Chou Yuqian never said that no one else is allowed to touch this cup.

At the same time, Ian really hopes that Shuten Doji can provide some relatively useful information.

It would be great if touch could achieve this.

[You are very thoughtful. 】

[But the actual results were not as good as imagined. 】

[It can even be said to be a little surprising. 】

Shuten Doji stretched out his delicate little hand to touch the golden cup.

only--

The moment her hand came into contact with the cup wall, her whole body retreated as if she was electrocuted.

"What...what is this?!"

Shuten Doji kept blowing air into his hand, looking like a child who had been burned.

"It hurts!"

"it hurts?"

Ian looked at the Shuten boy in front of him in confusion.

"what happened?"

"that is--"

Shuten Doji looked at the golden cup with an aggrieved expression.

"It seems like some kind of strange spell has been cast on it."

"Something like 'No touching of ghosts'."

"Hey! Uncle, are you trying to trick us on purpose?"

"Do you think I need that?"

Ian responded to Shuten Doji's question, and then looked at the golden cup handed to him by Chou Gozen.

Is there a magic trick on this?

Who put it on top?

[The Holy Grail of exhausted talents has been activated: You realize that this cup may have been tampered with. 】

[You really want to know who does this kind of thing. 】

[But you don’t have a way to figure it all out. 】

[After all, this is your first time coming into contact with it. 】

"..."

Seeing Ian's frown, Shuten Doji quickly realized that the man in front of him was not lying to him.

There was really no need for him to lie to himself.

"Hey, uncle."

"Then since you didn't do it, do we think it was the ugly Gozen who did it?"

Shuten Doji's words are not unreasonable.

After all, in a sense, Chou Gozen is the only person besides Ian who can touch this cup.

But regarding this possibility, the Great Onmyoji shook his head.

"I think it's unlikely."

"Because she kills ghosts every day and every night...the ghosts don't dare to get close to her, so why is there any need to carve such a spell on a gold cup?"

"That's right...if no ghost dares to get close, then there's no need to be on guard."

"Eh?!"

Shuten Doji suddenly thought of something.

She spoke again:

"Then uncle...is it possible that this golden cup was actually given to her by someone else?"

"Someone else gave it to her?"

"That's right!" Shuten Doji nodded repeatedly, "The one named Chou Gozen can kill ghosts, doesn't it mean that the person who handed this golden cup to her can also kill ghosts, right?"

"Of course, it may not be that he actually handed it to her personally."

"It's just some precautions we took before Jinbei arrived at Chou Yuqian."

"Precautions?"

[You think Shuten Doji’s words are reasonable. 】

[Chou Gozen is not a ghost, so he will not be affected by such a spell. 】

[But then, a new problem arises. 】

【Who did this? 】

[You realize that your departure was a little hasty - you should have asked more questions. 】

[You feel a little regretful. 】

Shuten Doji noticed Ian's loss.

She hesitated for a while, then whispered:

"Uncle, don't be so frustrated... I just said it casually, I don't even know if it's right or not."

"Ketun, I think what you said makes sense."

"If the person who got this cup in the first place was not Chou Gozen, then whatever appears on it is possible."

"Shutun——"

Ian looked at the former ghost king in front of him with a little more expectation in his eyes.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"This one……"

This was the first time that Shuten Doji was looked at with such expectancy by Ian.

For some reason, a realization of "I must answer this question" was born in her heart.

"Uncle, wait a minute, let's think about it!"

Shuten Doji held his cheek and kept ravaging it, slapping it twice from time to time, as if to cheer himself up.

Seeing her like this, Ian felt a little funny.

Finally, he said directly:

"Forget it, Shutun."

"If it's too hard to think about, forget it."

"No!" Shuten Doji stopped Ian's words, "We will definitely think of something, uncle, just wait!"

"..."

It's all about this.

Naturally, Ian could only wait patiently for the wine to be drunk.

but--

Ghostly ideas always seem to pop up.

If you insist on thinking about it, you will find nothing.

In the end, Shuten Doji could only accept his failure, then looked at Ian and whispered:

"Uncle...I can't think of it."

Shuten Doji was already prepared to be told by Ian, "You're wasting your time," but he didn't expect that the other person just stretched out his hand and touched his head.

"fine."

"It's normal if you can't think of it."

This was the first time Shuten Doji had his head touched.

She had expected this to be a difficult feeling to accept.

But actually - it's quite comfortable.

But she soon realized that something was wrong with this idea and immediately shook her head.

"Why are you touching our head?"

"We are the ghost king of the country!"

"Oh...you really mind this kind of thing."

Ian moved his hand away from Shuten Doji's head.

"Sorry, I took the offense."

"..."
