"Since the first owner of this cup may not be Uzen Gozen, then it must be someone who has a connection with her."

After hearing this, Shuten Doji made his own judgment.

"Uncle...you don't want to say it's Minamoto Yorimitsu, do you?"

"No." Ian shook his head again.

"If it was Raimitsu, things wouldn't be like this."

"after all--"

"She looks like she has no idea that Chou Yuqian exists."

"...That's right."

Shuten Doji scratched his face.

"Based on her attitude towards you, she would definitely rather become an ugly queen than take this risk for you."

"So uncle, who is it?"

Ian answered directly without covering up:

"I feel like it's Yorimitsu's father, Genmitsu Naka."

"Yuan Manzhong..."

Shuten Doji muttered this topic in a low voice and suddenly came to his senses.

"Wait a minute! Didn't you tell me that this person is dead?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "But at present, it seems that many things are still related to him."

"If nothing else, at least the power in Lai Guang's body has something to do with his choice, right?"

"So I want to start investigating this matter after I go back."

"..."

Shuten Doji was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating whether to mention something or not.

Finally she spoke:

"In that case, uncle, are you still going to do these things without telling Minamoto Noraimitsu?"

"of course."

Ian smiled slightly.

"If she knew that her father made such a choice because of Genji... I think this would definitely not be a good thing."

"..."

Shuten Doji was silent for a while, then sighed, put his hands on his waist and said:

"No way."

"It seems that we have to continue to help uncle... After all, there is no way to tell the people around you about this kind of thing, right?"

"bring it on."

Shuten Doji stretched out his hand towards Ian.

"Let's take our power back first. That way, uncle doesn't have to worry anymore, right?"

"..."

Looking at the little hand placed in front of him, Ian hesitated for a moment and then pushed it back.

"Shutun, no need."

"There is no need for you to give this power back to me."

"..."

Shuten Doji frowned slightly.

The hand that was pushed back looked a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, aren't you worried that we will continue to do evil?"

"Of course I'm worried."

"But--"

Ian looked at the petite female ghost in front of him, his eyes a little more friendly.

"If you really have this idea, you should leave before I come back."

"Shutun, I have to admit something now."

"You did change my mind a little about ghosts - you're not emotionless."

"I also know——"

Ian looked at Ibaraki Doji who was still looking at the sea.

"You know how to protect your friends."

"From this point on, you are no longer my prey."

Shuten Doji was silent for a moment and replied:

"Uncle...are you declaring to give up killing ghosts?"

"I can't say give up. When it's time to take action, I won't hesitate."

"It's just—"

"I started to think that during the Heian era, maybe there was a part of it that belonged to ghosts, and that was it."

"Uncle..."

Shuten Doji turned his face away.

"You're such an idiot."

[The blessing of the talented Shuten-Douji has been lost: you no longer seal Shuten-Douji’s power. 】

[The Talented Demon Treasure has been obtained: You have become someone Shuten Doji values ​​​​extremely. 】

[She vowed in her heart that she would thoroughly investigate the matter regarding the Holy Grail for you. 】

134. The secret love story of a female brat who drinks and swallows a boy ([-] words chapter)

[You have returned to Heianjing. 】

[A full month has passed since the day you and Shuten Doji set out. 】

[Compared to the state you were in when you set out, Ibaraki-douji and the golden cup you received from Ugozen have become something you have to explain. 】

[Talent Landscape Confrontation has been activated: You disguised Ibaraki Doji’s identity as Shuten Doji’s sister, and no one doubted this. 】

[The golden cup was explained by you as a collectible bought on the road because of your love. 】

[The gifted ghost treasure has been activated: the returned Shuten Doji begins to drive away the ghosts in Kyoto for you. 】

[This is actually a very strange picture. 】

Peaceful Beijing.

"leave here!"

Shuten-douji, who turned into red on the street, ordered the ghosts in front of her who were obviously weaker than her.

soon.

Before the ashigaru from Heian Kyo arrived here, the streets had returned to their usual tranquility.

Shuten-douji took advantage of the cover of night and hid in the dark with Ibaraki-douji.

"Whoo~"

The petite female ghost wiped the sweat from her forehead and showed a proud smile.

"These stupid humans still want to discover us?"

"think too much!"

"But--"

Ibaraki-douji, who was taken aside by Shuten-douji to hide, looked very confused.

"Jiu Tun, there's something I don't understand."

"what's up?"

Shuten Doji turned around and looked at his friend beside him happily.

"Is there anything you don't understand? Just tell us!"

"that is--"

Ibaraki Doji looked at the place where the ghosts were just now.

"Aren't those ghosts just like us?"

"Why do you want to drive them away? Isn't it good to let them cause a scene in Heianjing?"

"..."

Shuten Doji's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed - this question coming from his subordinate and close friend was too sharp.

It took her a while to think of a way out of this embarrassment.

"Ibaraki, you don't understand this!"

"We, this is to ensure that no ghosts can compete with us to snatch Heianjing in the future, so we have driven them away in advance!"

"Is that so?!"

Golden stars appeared in Ibaraki Doji's eyes.

"As expected of Shuten! No matter where he goes, he can achieve the great revival of the Oni clan!"

"Big, probably..."

Shuten-douji looked at Ibaraki-douji who looked admiringly, and felt more and more embarrassed.

She couldn't tell this good friend what she was thinking at this time - she actually no longer wanted to revive any ghost clan.

The so-called behavior is all about sharing worries for the great Onmyoji.

Shuten Doji felt that he was a bit unworthy of being called the Ghost King of Dajiangshan.

but--

It's not a bad feeling.

[You have not forgotten your purpose. 】

[After returning from Onigashima, you began to investigate things about Yuan Manchu. 】

[However, this process is not as simple as imagined. 】

[Because you can't ask your four adopted sons to help you, and at the same time, you have to avoid Kaiyuan Yoriguang. 】

[This is definitely not an easy thing for you to do. 】

[Fortunately, Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji listened to you enough, so there was no progress at all. 】

[More than a month has passed like this. 】

In Ian's room.

Shutendouji was secretly glancing at the great Onmyoji next to him.

Her throat was moving slightly, and her heart was beating loudly.

She had spent a month planning something just to give him something today.
