But at the same time, I also feel comforted by this - this is a rare mentality.

"Well, that's about it."

"I thought I told you to do something for this village before you left with me."

"Yes, you said that."

"So--"

Ian stared at the waxing and waning of the moon.

"It's almost time."

Just as the Great Onmyoji finished speaking, a voice came from a distance.

It was the clear and miserable cry of a child.

In this quiet night, it is so clearly discernible that it makes people feel creepy when they hear it.

"Whose child is crying?" Minamoto no Raikou couldn't help but ask.

But as soon as she said this, she noticed Ian's expression.

His expression was solemn and serious, totally unlike the look one would have when hearing a child crying.

In less than a second, Minamoto no Raikou reacted - this was the voice that Ian wanted him to hear.

She leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Master, did you encounter a ghost?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"That's why I've been staying here lately."

"Because Kawai Akako is nearby, if we don't deal with him, he will bring disaster to the village."

"Kawa Akako?"

Knowing that Minamoto no Raikou had just gotten started in this area, Ian explained further.

"Kawa Akako is a ghost that makes crying sounds."

"The reason for its existence is that a child once drowned in the river nearby,"

"It didn't realize that it had been dead for a long time - it simply thought that it had been abandoned by its companions, so it cried like this."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes widened.

Obviously, this was the first time she heard of such a thing.

"Master, how did you know that?"

"It's a bit strange to say, and I don't know why I know all this."

Ian looked toward the empty road.

“But when that voice sounded, I already knew this.”

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou obviously found this a little unbelievable, but the current situation did not allow her to doubt him.

"Then Master——"

"What are you going to do next?"

"It's very simple."

Ian raised his hand.

"Now that we know how it was created, we just need to think about how to deal with it."

"'It was born in the river, so it must be hidden in the river', and its cry was so clear, which meant it must be nearby."

"So--"

"As long as all the rivers around here are gathered together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minamoto no Raikou saw an unbelievable scene.

The sound of rushing water began to be heard in the quiet night sky.

Clear river water flowed in from all directions and gathered in the sky above Ian.

They are clearly moving, but because they form a cycle they appear to be still.

The flying water droplets stayed above the Great Onmyoji, it was a scene like a miracle.

"There is no place for it to be resurrected, right?"

【Just as you predicted.】

[After you gathered the water like a tornado, the crying sound became closer.]

【You know something is approaching you. 】

【That is Kawai Akako. 】

"Ugh——!"

A scream broke the silence of the night.

A red child figure appeared in front of the two of them.

But its facial features had long been destroyed, and its arms and body were also twisted into strange shapes.

"Come back... Come back to me!"

A ferocious sound came out of Kawaichi's mouth, and then he began to run on all fours like an irrational beast.

But even Minamoto no Raikou, who saw it for the first time, fully understood its purpose.

"He was born in the river, and he will hide in the river."

Yes.

It wanted to return to the water where Ian had gathered - the place where it was born as a "ghost".

But it was obviously impossible for the Great Onmyoji to let it do so.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Raikou, give it a try."

"Make it the first ghost you kill."

"Eh? Yes!"

Although he was still a little confused, looking at Kawa Akako rushing towards him, Minamoto no Raikou knew what he should do even though he had never experienced such a thing.

She drew her blade.

The knife swings;

Shadow follows;

Kawai Akako was cut in half by her, and then turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the air, as if he had never appeared.

"Lai Guang, it seems that you are born to do this kind of thing."

Ian sent the gathered water back to where it originally belonged, then patted his shoulder with some emotion and said:

"You still have to move from time to time."

“Now I feel back pain.”

"Yakou."

"exist!"

"Remember to wake me up early tomorrow. If you want to leave, it's better to do it as soon as possible."

"And—I want some porridge."

"Yes, I understand!"

Minamoto no Raikou was extremely excited at this moment.

She realized that the man before her was not just famous for nothing.

He is indeed a genuine Onmyoji!

113. Minamoto no Raikou is serving drinks to his master (-word chapter)

[Having seen your powerful side as an Onmyoji, Minamoto no Raikou's trust in you has grown stronger.]

【If it was worship for profit before. 】

【Then now it is her personal respect. 】

[And for this reason, she seemed to have done something strange secretly without your knowledge, and did not wake you up at the agreed time. ]

【You are "awakened" by the smell of food. 】

good smell.

If I have to describe it, it would probably be the feeling of several herbs mixed together.

The fragrance of nature is fully reflected at this moment, and it is an experience that will make you feel comfortable as long as you take a sniff.

Such a wonderful feeling, Ian couldn't help but open his eyes.

Then he saw Minamoto no Raikou sitting upright next to him with his eyes closed.

Next to her was a bowl of porridge with green foam floating on the surface - the fragrance just now must have come from it.

Almost in unison, when Ian opened his eyes, Minamoto no Raikou also opened his eyes.

"Master, you are awake."

"Ah."

Ian nodded and looked out the window.

What met his eyes was the scorching sun that had already risen.

"It seems that it is getting late, Raikou, why didn't you wake me up?"

"because--"

Minamoto no Raikou blushed slightly.

"Master, the way you were sleeping made me feel so good, so I couldn't bear to disturb you."

"is it?"

Ian looked at the plump apprentice in front of him.

"So, Raikou, are you just going to sit next to me like this?"

"Yes, Master."

【You realize that Minamoto no Yorimitsu is not lying. 】

[Because her legs really looked like what she said, they were always in a kneeling position.]

[You realize that this may not just be a matter of the disciple’s respect for his master.]

【You have to do something.】

"Yakou."

"Yes, Master."

"I want to wash my face, could you please get me some water?"

"no problem."

Following Ian's request, Minamoto no Raikou stood up and walked out of the house.

After a while, she returned to her master holding a wooden basin filled with water.
