111. Bathing Service from Minamoto no Raikou (-word chapter)

"How did you find such a place?"

Ian looked at the waterfall in front of him and the river below it, feeling a little surprised.

He originally thought that Minamoto no Raikou was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that she would actually bring him to a place he had never seen before.

"I found it by chance this morning when I was preparing those things for Master."

“It felt like a good place to bathe, so I kept it in mind.”

Minamoto no Raikou answered while looking at the scenery before him.

【You know Minamoto no Raikou didn’t lie. 】

[But you also feel that there is something wrong with the waterfall in front of you. ]

[The talent of worrying has been obtained: the changes in the mountains and rivers are not accidental, there are many secrets in them, and you can feel that something is approaching. ]

【But you didn’t say anything.】

[Because you have something more to know than this. ]

"Master, please raise your hands a little higher."

"This way, it will be easier for me to wipe your body."

"Ah."

Ian slowly raised his hands, his shoulders straight in a straight line, like a scarecrow standing in the field.

Then, a pair of slender white hands passed through his armpits and with a slight movement, took off the loose robe.

Voices of praise followed.

"Master, you must have the habit of practicing in the mountains and rivers, right?"

"Even though he's an Onmyoji, his physique is no less than that of a samurai."

"If you were to join a certain army, you might be able to become a famous general, right?"

"is it?"

Ian smiled bitterly.

"But unfortunately, I am just an Onmyoji."

"It's ok."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the back of the man in front of him.

"What I need is you as an Onmyoji."

Pulling up his sleeves, Minamoto no Raikou soaked the towel he had prepared in advance into the water to make it soft.

"Master, if you feel unwell, please let me know immediately."

After saying this, Minamoto no Raikou gently wiped Ian's arm with a towel.

“Excuse me, is this level of intensity still acceptable?”

"Yeah, just right."

[You are not specifically praising Minamoto no Raikou. ]

[As a warrior, she has a delicate heart that is completely opposite to her bravery. ]

[You can even feel the towel she prepared in advance, which has been smeared with herbs.]

[It is a scent that is enough to make you feel relaxed physically and mentally. ]

[This is definitely not something that can be thought of on a whim. ]

[You realize that Minamoto no Raikou may have already started planning something on the way back with you.]

【And here is the response to her thoughts. 】

The towel passed over the man's arm, leaving wet marks.

Minamoto no Raikou treated all of this very carefully.

This is her way of "respecting" her master.

Although he knew the other party had ulterior motives, Ian couldn't help but feel touched when he felt the sincerity.

"Yakou."

"Yes, Master."

"You said you wanted to kill ghosts, right?"

When he heard Ian ask this question, Minamoto no Raikou's hand paused for a moment, then quickly returned to its previous position.

"Yes, Master, I want to kill ghosts."

"To be precise, I don't just want to kill ghosts, I also want to kill all the weird things besides ghosts."

"It's a very ambitious goal," Ian commented.

"But such an ambition shouldn't be a spur-of-the-moment thing, right?"

"Raikou, I haven't heard you formally introduce your origins yet. Since you are from the capital and have such a noble surname, you must be very famous, right?"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou was silent for a while but did not avoid the question.

She gently took Ian's other hand and wiped it with the towel in the same gentle manner.

"Just as you said, Master, my surname is not something that ordinary people can have."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Seiwa Genji clan, and I bear the destiny of revitalizing the clan."

“This kind of pressure forced me to take action.”

Although Ian did not take the initiative to learn about the status of "Seiwa Genji", it is not difficult to see from the tone of Minamoto no Raikou when she described it that she was very proud of it.

If this is the case, then this probably wouldn’t be a small family.

"The eldest daughter?"

“No wonder you can always do things to perfection.”

"Master, thank you for your praise."

"This is not a compliment." Ian changed the subject, "It's just a concern."

"If you really have such a fate, then you should understand that people like me can't do anything for you."

"You should look for someone who can give you advice, not an Onmyoji like me."

"unless--"

"You are hiding something from me."

[Your meaning is obvious.]

[You believe the background that Minamoto no Raikou said, but at the same time you also think that it has nothing to do with your identity as an Onmyoji.]

[If she wants to continue the conversation, she must come up with a convincing enough explanation.]

【Minamoto no Yorimitsu is not stupid. 】

She quickly understood what you meant.

"Master, I can't hide it from you after all."

Minamoto no Raikou let go of Ian's hand and began to wipe his back.

"Yes."

"You're right."

"I didn't decide to visit you simply because I heard about your deeds in Beijing."

"That makes sense." Ian was not angry.

"so--"

"What on earth could make you come all the way to find a poor and destitute person like me?"

"It's a dream."

Minamoto no Raikou answered while wiping Ian's back.

"Dream?"

"Yes, a huge dream."

Minamoto no Raikou's purple eyes began to recall the dream that was lingering in his mind.

"The content of the dream is very long, Master, you may not be interested."

"So let's just summarize it as knowing foresight about the 'monsters' that must be defeated."

"It would be foolish to fight against it as a warrior."

"And Master, you——"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him.

“It’s the one who keeps this hope alive for me.”

[You don't doubt what Minamoto no Raikou said. ]

Because it sounds reasonable.

[The eldest daughter of Seiwa Genji, prepared in advance for the bad omen she saw in her dream in case she could not achieve the revival of the family. ]

[Although it is somewhat utilitarian, it is also a manifestation of a sense of responsibility. ]

【After all, it is better to prepare for a rainy day than to mend the fold after the sheep have been shed. 】

"So, this is why you want me to teach you no matter what?"

"Yes."

Minamoto no Raikou made no effort to conceal his thoughts.

"As the eldest daughter of the Seiwa Genji, I should respect an Onmyoji like you."

"Only in this way can one learn the true attainments in this area."

"..."

Seeing that Ian did not answer him, Minamoto no Raikou did not press him any further.

She with a graceful figure untied the outer robe, leaving only the appropriate underwear, and then slowly walked into the pool of water she had discovered.

The beautiful long purple hair floated gently on the water like scattered willow branches.

"Excuse me, Master."

Minamoto no Raikou said this, then stood in the water and gently wiped the chest of the man in front of him.

She was still so cautious and delicate, completely lacking any of the bravery that a warrior should have.

She placed her fingertips on the towel in her hand and let it gently move along the muscle contours of Ian's chest, leaving behind familiar wet traces.

"Master's body is really strong."

Minamoto no Raikou felt the rock-like touch coming from his fingertips.

"Even if you only become a laborer for one term, you should have the temperament of a leader, right?"

"Why has it come to this?"

【You are not the only one who has something else in his words. 】

[Minamoto no Raikou is also full of doubts about your current situation. ]

【This is not something difficult to understand. 】

[In her eyes, you are a famous Onmyoji who is well-known throughout Heian Kyoto.]

[But now you live in a shabby house, and even your daily life has become a problem. ]

【Anyone who has the ability to think will have doubts in his heart. 】
