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

Minamoto no Raikou was silent for a while and then nodded.

"My purpose is actually very simple, so there is nothing to hide."

"Master——"

The warrior who had been searching for months now looked at the Great Onmyoji.

"Please teach me how to kill a ghost."

110. Master, I want to learn how to kill ghosts! (-word chapter)

【You double-checked that you heard correctly. 】

[The Minamoto no Raikou in front of him did say that he wanted to kill demons. ]

[You are sure this is why she came to see you.]

"Killing ghosts?"

Ian put down the roasted prey in his hand and looked at the graceful female warrior.

“It’s an unheard of idea.”

"This is the first time I've heard someone say in front of me that they want to do this."

"Everyone has their own wishes, right?"

Minamoto no Raikou answered very confidently.

"And my wish is to kill all the ghosts in the world."

"But--"

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou."

Ian looked up at the stars above his head with a somewhat subtle expression.

"I think you may have some misunderstanding about the identity of Onmyoji."

"It is true that Yin-Yang masters can foresee disasters and calamities, and they can also come into contact with various demons and ghosts."

"But that doesn't mean we know how to kill ghosts."

"So if you want to learn about this, I think it would be better to find someone else."

"Do not."

Minamoto no Raikou shook his head firmly.

"I don't think so at all."

"Your deeds are well-known in Heian-kyō. How could you not know the art of killing demons?"

"It's just a name." Ian smiled.

"Among all those things, has anyone ever really seen me kill a ghost?"

"None, I suppose?"

"..."

Ian pushed Minamoto no Raikou back with one sentence.

Just like what he said.

Although there are many stories circulating in Heian-kyō about the man before him killing demons, they are only "rumors".

No one has ever actually seen this great Yin-Yang master killing ghosts.

Minamoto no Raikou's silence let Ian know that she couldn't refute it.

He stood up and spoke in the moonlight:

"So Miss Minamoto no Raikou, please go back."

"I'm not the one who meets your requirements."

"And thank you for your hospitality tonight."

You left the mountain.

[You walk towards the place where you live under the moon. ]

[You feel a gaze coming from behind you all the time. ]

[You know that Minamoto no Raikou is still following you. ]

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou."

Ian turned back.

"There's really no need to follow me anymore."

"I can't teach you the art of killing ghosts. Instead of wasting so much time on me, you should look for other possibilities in this world."

"I think that your persistence in spending several months on the same thing will definitely pay off in the end."

"Do not."

Minamoto no Raikou answered directly without much hesitation.

"If I really just want to find someone to teach me, I won't leave the capital."

"What I'm looking for is a great Onmyoji like you - only you can meet my requirements."

"But I already said I couldn't be satisfied, didn't I?"

"No, you just think that I don't respect you enough and don't want to teach me."

"..."

[You realize that your compassion just now gave Minamoto no Raikou an illusion. ]

[She seems to attribute everything to her lack of "respect" for you.]

You want to correct this.

[But when you see Minamoto no Raikou's eyes that are brighter than the bright moon, you realize that there is probably no way to change her mind in a short time. ]

Ian sighed.

"Then it's up to you."

"I just hope that you won't feel like you've wasted your time by then."

"in addition--"

"You've been following me because..."

"Oh... Master, you are asking this."

Minamoto no Raikou shook the bow in his hand and raised the fur on his body.

"Master, as the saying goes, 'borrowed things should be returned to their owner.'"

"Since you just lent me the bow and furs, then according to common sense, I should return them to your house intact."

"Besides -"

"The moon is high tonight, I think you wouldn't mind letting me stay for a night?"

"..."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou.

"I say, a woman like you, staying in a strange man's house casually, will cause a lot of gossip."

"I know."

Minamoto no Raikou met Ian's gaze without avoiding it.

"But I don't care."

That's all the words said.

Ian knew that there was no way he could refuse Minamoto no Raikou's request to stay overnight.

"Well."

"Just stay for one night."

"But—I hope you won't regret it."

"I have absolutely no regrets."

【Minamoto no Raikou was very happy. 】

【She follows you closely. 】

【She returned with you to where you lived. 】

[To be honest, this should be a situation that should be avoided at all costs. ]

[Having a beautiful woman follow you home at night is the best topic for conversation after dinner. ]

But you're not worried at all.

[Because you know that your poverty will allow you to avoid all this. ]

【You are home.】

Minamoto no Raikou could hardly believe what he saw.

All she saw was a house that was extremely dilapidated.

All the windows that should have been there have long since disappeared, leaving only a wooden frame telling its original purpose and location.

The tatami on the ground was stepped on to varying depths, making it look messy.

If you look closely, you may even be able to spot reeds sticking up from underneath.

The corners of the wall were covered with spider webs, with the remains of small insects stuck on them, looking a bit dried.

There was a big hole in the roof, and the hole was only covered with some hay.

Moonlight leaked in through the gaps and shone onto the quilt below.

The rotten pillow next to it lay quietly in the darkness.

A damp and dark smell permeated this small space, and it was particularly pungent.

Is this a place where one can live?

Minamoto no Raikou frowned, and even breathing became a little difficult.

Ian's voice also sounded at this moment.

"Ms. Minamoto no Raikou, after seeing this, you should know that I don't have the ability you imagined, right?"

"If we put down the bow and furs now and leave, we should be able to get out of Kawaguchi by daybreak."

"In this case, the only time you have wasted is today."

Ian thought that this would ruthlessly shatter Minamoto no Raikou's fantasy.

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing these words, the other party not only did not give up, but became even more positive.

"Do not."

"I do not go."

Minamoto no Raikou hung the bow on a nail on the wall, then took off his fur coat, folded it, and placed it on the table beside him.

She looked around and finally chose a place that looked relatively clean.

She cleared the dust off it and sat down directly.

"Master, I'm tired. It's time to rest."

"So--"

"Good night, I wish you and I have a good dream."

After saying this, Minamoto no Raikou actually fell asleep leaning against the wall without any guard at all.

Seeing this scene, Ian sighed.
