In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"I don't mind that, though."

"only--"

"For someone like you, it would be best if you think more about your reputation, right?"

"There's nothing to worry about."

Minamoto no Raikou pulled out his sword and thrust it into the ground beside him.

The moonlight falls on this sharp sword,

"I believe it can explain everything for me."

"As for why I don't go back, it's very simple."

The warrior looked at the man in front of him.

"You're the reason I can't leave."

"But Miss Minamoto no Raikou——"

Ian replied calmly.

"I think I should have said that things like 'threats' are meaningless to me, right?"

"Yes." Minamoto no Raikou nodded.

"Master, you did say that."

“So I’ve done some deep soul-searching.”

"I apologize for my previous offense."

"sorry."

He changed to humble words and apologized at the same time.

Ian could feel that Minamoto no Raikou was truly sorry for what had just happened.

He is not a person who would take advantage of others.

"So, Ms. Minamoto no Raikou, what are your plans next?"

"It's very simple."

Minamoto Noraimitsu looked at Ian in front of him, his purple eyes full of sincerity.

"Master, you must not have had time to enjoy your dinner yet."

"Please lend me a bow, and let me hunt for you what you deserve."

"..."

【You realize that Minamoto no Raikou is not kidding you. 】

【She really intended to do this. 】

[But you still plan to reject her - because even without her, you can still get enough food to fill your stomach. ]

[Just when you were about to say it, you saw Minamoto no Raikou's body trembling slightly. ]

【You suddenly understand.】

[She was still wearing the same kimono she wore during the day, and naturally shivered at night when the temperature dropped.]

[But she is still trying her best to restrain herself and not want you to notice it. ]

[You are moved by compassion.]

"okay."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him.

"My bow hasn't been drawn in a long time, and it really needs someone like you to stretch it a little."

"But Master, you brought out one more fur."

Faced with the unexpected thing, Minamoto no Raikou seemed a little hesitant.

"This……"

Ian smiled.

"It's not just the bow that needs to move the muscles and bones."

"..."

"Thank you, Master."

[Minamoto no Raikou put on the fur you gave him and took up the bow you provided.]

[You and she went to the nearby mountains.]

【Logically speaking, setting the hunting time at night is a very ignorant behavior. 】

[Because the cover of night is the best cover for the beasts in the mountains.]

[In comparison, humans who rashly enter the mountains are more like prey. ]

[But neither you nor Minamoto no Raikou seemed to be afraid at all. ]

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou, aren't you afraid?"

Ian asked as he looked at the dark environment in the mountains.

"I'm not afraid."

Minamoto no Raikou confessed his true feelings without any hesitation.

"I am a martial artist, how can I be afraid just because of the temporary darkness?"

"That is a shame for a warrior."

The voice just fell.

Minamoto no Raikou pulled the bowstring to its full length.

Huh.

The arrow flew out from the bow that had not been used for a long time and shot towards somewhere in the forest between the mountains.

The speed was so fast that even the arrow feathers had no time to deflect.

A dull sound.

The arrow penetrated three inches into the wood.

Also nailed to it was a rabbit.

This is a hunting arrow achieved at the moment the rabbit jumps.

No further words needed.

In addition to his excellent swordsmanship, Minamoto no Raikou was also an excellent archer.

【This is not a coincidence.】

[Minamoto no Raikou kept repeating the action just now in this night forest, with a look of concentration, as if the land under her feet was her hunting ground. ]

[She didn't stop until she ran out of arrows.]

[You realize that this is her way of proving herself - using her martial arts to do what she promised you.]

There was a sizzling sound.

A light appeared in the woods.

That was the fire that Minamoto no Raikou started.

Logically speaking, this should be a taboo when hunting in the mountains.

After all, whether it is the bright light or the aroma of roasted food, it is a potential reminder to the beasts lurking in the shadows.

but--

Ian wasn't worried about any danger at all.

Because Minamoto no Raikou cut off the heads of all the prey he had just hunted, and then laid them out on the ground nearby like trophies.

The light shone on their skeletons, engraving the last scene before their death.

Ian was sure that no smart beast would want to come over after seeing this scene.

the other side.

Minamoto no Raikou was skillfully handling the prey after cutting off their heads.

Although she was a woman, there was no fear of such imperfection in her purple eyes.

On the contrary, Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to have a unique preference for this method of beheading.

Remove the fur;

disembowel;

Use branches to support it.

After Minamoto no Raikou washed his hands at the riverside, he returned to Ian and took the roasted prey for him.

"Master, without salt, it might taste weird."

"Please forgive me."

【But in fact, it is not. 】

[Although during the entire processing process, Minamoto no Raikou did not add any salt. ]

But she used the surrounding plants in a clever way to complete the seasoning.

This makes it taste pretty good.

[You realize that although Minamoto no Raikou is a warrior, he actually has a virtuous side. ]

"taste good."

Ian is not stingy with his praise.

“By far, the best tasting food I have ever tasted.”

"really?"

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes lit up.

It can be seen that the praise from the great Onmyoji Ian is a great honor for her.

"Then Master, do you think it is..."

"Don't talk about this yet."

Ian stopped Minamoto no Raikou from asking questions - he knew she was still obsessed with becoming his disciple.

But before that, there is one thing that must be confirmed first.

"Please answer a few questions for me first."

"First, why did you find me? I think I have never told anyone where I live."

"That's because your fame has spread throughout Heian-kyō, of course."

Minamoto no Raikou looked directly at Ian and answered.

"I searched for several months and finally had this meeting with my master."

Not a ridiculous answer.

And it also explains why she was so angry.

"Well."

"If that's the case, you must be looking for me for some purpose, right?"

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him.

"I'm curious."

"So state your purpose exactly as it is."

"..."
