She took a towel from the side, soaked it in the basin, then wrung out the water and leaned next to Ian.

"Master, please let me wipe your face."

"……it is good."

Ian did not refuse Minamoto no Raikou's request.

The latter wiped every inch of skin on his master's cheek carefully with some respect.

The level of care applied is no less than that used to be applied to works of art.

It took Minamoto no Raikou a while to complete this process.

But before Ian could speak, she continued.

"Master, this is the tea porridge I made for you."

"Please taste it for a while."

Seeing the bowl in front of him, Ian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and began to taste the craftsmanship of Origin Raikou.

"It tastes delicious, Raikou."

“You’re pretty good at cooking.”

however--

Faced with Ian's praise, Minamoto no Raikou did not express his happiness at first, but instead asked a strange question cautiously.

"Then Master, did you taste anything special?"

"Special taste?"

"Yeah." Minamoto no Raikou nodded, "For example, the flavors that would never appear in porridge normally."

"..."

Ian's gaze rested on Minamoto no Raikou's proud breasts.

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Raikou."

"I didn't taste the flavor you mentioned."

"Yes, is that so..." Minamoto no Raikou looked a little regretful.

Ian didn't think much about it.

He opened his mouth to ask another question.

"Raikou, aren't we leaving here yet?"

"Master, not yet." Minamoto no Raikou replied, "After all, this is where you once lived."

"I've only been here for a while, and if I ask Master to leave with me, it would be a bit disrespectful to this place."

Others might be confused when they hear what Minamoto no Raikou said.

But as a great Yin-Yang master, Ian immediately realized that this was her speech after her enlightenment on Yin-Yang.

"Raikou, are you afraid that after I leave, new monsters will appear in this village?"

Ghosts are born from thoughts.

It is indeed possible that the thought of leaving may arise.

"Eh?"

Minamoto no Raikou didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through so quickly.

But she knew there was no need to hide it, so she just nodded.

"Master, even though you are so awe-inspiring, there are still monsters like Chuan Akako who dare to offend this village."

"I really can't imagine what the scene will be like after you leave."

"..."

Ian frowned slightly.

"Raikou, what are you going to do with this?"

"I do not know."

Minamoto no Raikou was very honest in admitting his own weakness.

"But I think we shouldn't leave rashly at least."

“This is a reflection of irresponsibility.”

Hearing this, Ian smiled with satisfaction.

"Ah, very good."

"If you can think this way, it makes me feel much more at ease."

"you're right."

"I really shouldn't just walk away like this. I have to do something."

[You decided to set up a barrier around the village based on what Minamoto no Raikou was worried about.]

[The time of your departure has been postponed. ]

[You two have been seen together in the village much more often. ]

[People often see the two of you together.]

"Ms. Raikou."

A kind old lady said this to Minamoto no Raikou in front of her.

"Thank you for the food you sent us earlier."

"Nothing like that." Minamoto no Raikou smiled slightly, "You provided me with the information I needed, and the food is my reward."

Minamoto no Raikou was not the kind of person who only knew how to ask for things unilaterally.

What she gets from others, she will inevitably give back.

"Hahaha." The old lady laughed.

Obviously.

She didn't know Minamoto no Raikou's true identity, but she had a good first impression of this girl.

"Thank you very much, Miss Raikou."

"Speaking of which-"

The old lady looked at Ian who was standing next to Minamoto no Raikou.

The latter remained silent, just listening to the conversation between the two.

"Ms. Raikou, are you hanging out with your husband again today?"

"Eh? Sir?"

Minamoto no Raikou was about to explain but was stopped by Ian who was standing beside him.

He smiled and said:

"Yes, Grandma, you are right."

"The weather is nice today, so I went out for a walk with her."

“Oh…I see.”

The old lady smiled happily - probably because she thought it was a very good thing that Minamoto no Raikou had such a husband.

"Then I won't bother you."

"Well, have a safe trip, grandma."

Watching the old lady walk away with satisfaction, Minamoto no Raikou was a little puzzled.

But before she could ask, Ian took the initiative to explain.

"She won't live for more than a few days."

"At least let her see what she wants to see before she dies."

Minamoto no Raikou was shocked at first, but soon realized that Ian was not talking nonsense - he was a great Onmyoji.

Her eyes gradually became tender.

"Master, you are actually quite gentle."

"Not only is he silently protecting this village, but he is also so considerate of these people's feelings."

"……maybe."

Ian smiled calmly.

"Anyway, let's continue to treat each other as such until we leave here."

"I understand, Master!"

[You and Minamoto no Raikou begin to treat each other as partners. ]

[This makes it much easier for you to move in and out. ]

[You demonstrated to her how to use a barrier to protect an area.]

[She was very interested in this and diligently recorded every step.]

[The barriers are constantly connected.]

[Finally, as you returned to the big tree at the entrance of the village, the barrier became a big circle, enveloping the village.]

[In this way, unless an extremely powerful monster commits evil, it is absolutely impossible for any ghost to harm the people in this village. ]

[A month has passed.]

【It's time to leave.】

[You will hand over the repaired houses to the villagers.]

[In the evening, you and Minamoto no Raikou boarded the prepared carriage and left the village along the road through the fields.]

Tap tap.

The horse's hoof first rises and then falls, and in this way it continues to move forward.

Ian and Minamoto no Raikou sat in the covered rear carriage and moved forward as the horses moved forward.

The slanting setting sun fell on the two of them, as if it had covered them with a dim red gauze.

"Master, we are finally leaving."

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

Probably because he didn't want to remain so dull on the way, Ian spoke again:

"Raikou, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"After leaving the village, he seemed to be a little strange. Did he leave something there?"

"Eh?"

Hearing what Ian said, Minamoto no Raikou immediately shook his head.

"Nothing."

"I have already counted the items that my master and I are going to take away, and we didn't leave anything there."

"really?"

Ian turned his head and looked at the apprentice beside him.
