"Everything seems to have just begun. It's not 'only to this extent' as Jiu Tunru said."

"what?!"

Shuten Doji realized that he had underestimated his enemy.

But everything seems to be too late.

The female imp's back showed a certain outline.

"what--!"

[You fulfilled your promise. 】

[Shuten Doji experienced what he liked - it was just a little different from what he imagined]

[The Ghost King of Dajiangshan found that this was not so easy to accept. 】

[This is the first time she begs for mercy. 】

[But you have no intention of torturing her. 】

[After her voice becomes softer, you end it all. 】

[Shuten-douji is lying down tiredly, while Ibaraki-douji is looking at you blankly, as if he is still recalling everything just now. 】

[You carried them back to the room. 】

[They lie next to you, one on the left and one on the right. 】

"Why, are you still scared?"

Ian looked at Shuten Doji beside him.

"I told you that you don't have to try it."

"Who said we are scared!"

Shuten Doji, who was still trembling, held Ian's left hand, his face turned red and he spoke hard.

"Obviously we conquered the uncle, how can we say that we are afraid!"

"But Shuten——"

Ibaraki Doji, who was holding Ian's right hand, stuck his head out.

"You were clearly shouting 'let me go, Abe-sama' and 'we know we were wrong' just now."

"I can hear you clearly."

"Ibaraki!" Shuten Doji was so ashamed, "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"

"You two really know each other well, so you won't be lonely."

Ian said as he felt the body temperature of the two imps.

"That's great - I was worried you wouldn't be comfortable living here."

"..."

Shuten Doji buried his head in Ian's arms and murmured softly.

"We're not that careless."

"Uncle, have you been nice to us... We all know it."

"But uncle——"

Shuten Doji looked up at the man beside him.

"Can we ask you a little question?"

"what is the problem?"

"that is--"

Shuten Doji held Ian's hand tightly, like a spoiled child.

"If we change our appearance in the future, you won't pretend you don't know us, right?"

"...Why do you have such a strange problem?"

"You promise us first!"

"Okay, I understand."

Ian looked at the Shuten boy next to him, as if he was coaxing a child.

"I promise you, I will never pretend that I don't know you."

"That's good!"

[Shuten Doji is not joking. 】

[She does have another identity. 】

[That is the nickname "Ibuki-douji". 】

[It’s just that after staying in the environment of Dajiangshan for a long time, she gradually forgot this name. 】

[Now, as a "Shuten Doji", she hopes to do something for you, so she remembered this name. 】

【only--】

[Things don't seem to be as easy as Shuten Doji thought. 】

Can't recall.

The side of being an "Ibuki-douji".

Dajiangshan Ghost King was sitting in the corner of the room, clutching his head and looking quite uncomfortable.

How can I not remember it?

It was obviously all done by oneself...

"Jiuting, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the pain on his friend's face, Ibaraki Doji came to her side and sat down.

"I see that you seem to be in pain."

"..."

Shuten-douji looked around and after confirming that no one other than Ibaraki-douji was present, he continued:

"Ibaraki, we... seem to have forgotten something."

"Forgot something?"

"Yeah." Shuten Doji nodded, "We forgot how to change back to our stronger self."

"This--"

Ibaraki Doji pursed his chin and thought for a while before replying:

"Then why don't you go find Mr. Abe... If it's him, he must know what to do, right?"

"do not!"

Shuten-douji grabbed Ibaraki-douji.

"How can we go to uncle at this time? It will cause trouble for him!"

"Let's just think about what to do..."

Seeing his friend's troubled expression, Ibaraki Doji frowned.

She looked at the question again and got an answer.

"Then Jiutan, could it be that you have been drinking too much for too long and this has caused something like this to happen?"

"alcoholism?"

"Yeah." Ibaraki-douji looked at Shuten-douji.

"Ever since I met Shuton, you haven't gone a day without drinking, right?"

"I think that may be the root of the problem."

"This……"

Shuten-douji recalled it and realized that Ibaraki-douji was right.

I really like drinking.

Especially after coming to Heianjing, because of the special care of the Great Onmyoji, I was exposed to countless fine wines.

And he doesn't care much about himself.

He would bring as much as he wanted to drink.

"So it's like this..."

Shuten-douji finally came to a conclusion and lowered his head.

Her throat was moving slightly, as if she was thinking about some difficult decision.

Finally, she said:

"We understand."

"Starting today, we won't drink anymore!"

[This is not an easy thing for Shuten Doji. 】

[After all, this is a behavior that has been developed over many years. 】

[If you want to change it, you can't do it in just a few words. 】

[But for you, she is willing to go through such trouble. 】

one day;

two days;

three days;

A month has passed.

Shuten Doji hasn't touched alcohol for a full month.

She could feel sparks rising on her lips.

but--

She knew absolutely not to drink.

What I promised my uncle has not been successful yet!

Shuten-douji continued to pray to his other side, Ibuki-douji.

"please!"

"No matter what, please help us!"

"We don't want to be regarded as a liar by the uncle!"

Shuten Doji had never had such a strong wish in his heart - and it had been going on for a full month.

Although tracing back to the foundation of this prayer, you will find that it is very outrageous.

A ghost summoned his powerful side to take the blame for his favorite Onmyoji.

If I say it out loud, I'm afraid I won't become the object of ridicule by hundreds of ghosts.

But even so, Shuten Doji hopes that his wish will come true.

She likes him.

So I don't want to see him in distress.

"please."

"Please respond to us once!"

Shuten-douji kowtowed heavily in the direction of the sunrise.

Maybe it was her sincerity that moved God, or maybe some other coincidence happened at this time.
