"That--"

Ian looked directly at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him.

"What kind of life do you think I should live?"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou thought for a while and replied:

"A person of your status should at least be famous and admired by everyone."

"At the very least, you should live your life in a magnificent place."

After hearing these words, Ian replied with a smile.

"Yakou, you seem to think highly of me."

"Aren't you afraid that your expectations will be dashed?"

"There are plans for what happens if you fail."

Minamoto no Raikou answered calmly.

"Master, you don't have to worry about me - you should also know that I am not the kind of person who acts on impulse."

"..."

Ian did not respond to Yuan Laiguang.

But she wasn't surprised.

After all, this kind of silence is not the first time.

"Anyway——"

"Master, please let me complete what I promised."

“Things must have a beginning and an end.”

After saying this, Minamoto no Raikou and Ian looked at each other.

It is clear.

She was asking for the man's opinion on the final step of bathing.

If he were to refuse at this moment, the warrior might really give up.

【But you don’t plan to do that. 】

[After all, you are essentially the same as Minamoto no Raikou, a person who likes to see things through to the end. ]

[So facing her request, you don't intend to refuse. ]

"I see." Ian nodded.

"Then let everything come to an end."

"Thank you, Master, for helping me."

After saying this, Minamoto no Raikou withdrew his hands from Ian's chest.

sneak into.

The slender white hand created two ripples on the water, and together with the wet towel, it turned into a fish entering the sea.

They swim in the clear water, flexibly and skillfully.

As Minamoto no Yorimitsu himself had promised, this change would complete the final step of the ritual for her.

That was the purpose of the two coming here.

arrival.

The two reached a contractual contact underwater.

Minamoto no Raikou's face flushed slightly.

"Master, you are indeed extraordinary."

“Even in the cold water, there is warmth like sunshine.”

"Yakou."

Ian looked at her in front of him.

"Is this enough for now?"

“The whole process has been thoroughly completed.”

"It will be bad for your reputation if you continue like this."

"No." Minamoto no Raikou shook his head.

"Master, I think I've said that."

"You have to finish what you start. I hate to write a hasty ending to a story like this."

"At the same time, please rest assured."

"There is no unclean relationship between us, so there is no talk of reputation being damaged."

"..."

Ian remained silent.

This represented his tacit approval of Minamoto no Raikou's behavior.

Everything became tacitly understood.

The soft towel rolled under the water, creating small whirlpools from time to time.

In this process, the jade is carved and becomes exquisitely crafted.

The warmth spreads in the hands, gathering into an enduring legend.

"Master."

Minamoto no Raikou continued to express his sincerity.

She said this as she felt the mixture of cold and warm in the water.

"You have been wandering outside for a long enough time."

"If you don't mind, maybe you should stop for a while and leave some traces of your own."

"..."

"Raikou." Ian looked at her who was touching the top of the earwig in front of him.

"Do you know what this means?"

"I know."

Minamoto no Raikou replied with a faint smile.

"For me, being able to be a recorder of Master's past is also a way to show my 'respect'."

"..."

Ian did not respond directly to Minamoto Raikou.

But not resisting is more powerful than answering.

The water surface began to ripple once again as the warrior's fingers danced.

The towel floated to the surface.

Amidst the cold and heat, the great Yin-Yang Master's magical tools have already become effective.

Heaven and earth are integrated and converge in one place.

The combination of black and white breaks the calm surface of the water.

The results of all this were reflected on Minamoto no Raikou's face, clear and full of tenderness.

She closed her eyes and felt the flow from the bottom of the water.

Until they slide across the rosy cheeks;

Until they hang from their chins with silken threads;

Until they drip onto the water and turn into blooming flowers.

"Master."

Minamoto no Raikou spoke with his eyes closed, feeling somewhat happy at having fulfilled his promise.

"You really still have expectations for this world, right?"

"I can feel all of this - so please don't deny yourself this thought."

"You are a person who deserves respect. How can you live in a shabby house?"

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou, who had no complaints and was even a little happy, and remained silent.

After a long time, he asked again:

"Yakou."

"Do you really want to learn the so-called technique of killing ghosts from me?"

"of course."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu answered respectfully with his eyes closed.

"My desire for Master is now clear, right?"

"I understand."

Ian touches the hand of Origin Raikou.

"So--"

"Wait with me tonight."

"Before I leave here, I must do something for the people in this village."

“And you, too, will see what you need.”

112. Minamoto no Raikou's first demon-killing! (-word chapter)

[After learning Minamoto no Raikou's true intentions, you decide to help her learn the demon-killing technique she longs for. ]

【But before that, you still have some things to do. 】

【This is about your attitude towards life in the future. 】

[You returned from the river to the house that had just been renovated.]

Click.

Ian struck a match.

The oil lamps in the house were lit.

The warm yellow light filled the entire room, casting a thin veil over everything it touched.

"Raikou, let me ask you one last time."

Ian looked at the female warrior sitting in front of him.

"Do you really want to learn the art of killing demons?"

"Let me warn you first - once you embark on this path of fighting against demons, there will be no chance to stop."

"All the ghosts have connections with each other. If you kill one, you will inevitably encounter the second and the third. You cannot sit down and rest until all the obstacles are eliminated."

"Even so, do you wish you could learn the art of killing demons?"

"Master."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him, his purple eyes full of determination.

"I think I have just shown my thoughts - for the sake of the clan, I will never stop."

“Also, please don’t forget.”
