[She learned the demon-killing technique you taught her very quickly.]

[After two or three months, she could even start looking for hidden ghosts on her own.]

[However, she was not proud of it, but became more serious. ]

【You realize that this is 'the more you know, the more you realize your ignorance'. 】

[You like her very much, so you are trying your best to teach her. ]

"Master."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the blade in his hand.

"If I kill Tu Bi, I will have eliminated 20 ghosts."

"is it?"

"It seems that my apprentice really has the potential to become an independent Yin-Yang Master."

Ian was generous with his praise.

This made Minamoto no Raikou blush, but he did not take his eyes off the master in front of him.

Ian noticed this.

He looked at her in front of him and asked:

"Raikou, what's wrong?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide anything between us."

"that is--"

Minamoto no Raikou took Ian's hand.

"Master, you have lived in Beijing for almost half a year, right?"

"Yes."

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou gently shook Ian's hand.

"Master, have you found a girl that suits your taste?"

"none."

This is not because Ian was following Minamoto no Raikou's wishes, but because he really didn't feel anything.

There are indeed many beautiful women in Kyoto.

But the great Onmyoji was not impressed at all.

During this half year, at least 90% of the time was spent killing demons and teaching Raikou how to kill demons.

Upon hearing the news, Minamoto no Raikou's purple eyes showed a burst of joy.

"Master, are you serious? You don't have to say that just to consider my feelings."

Ian smiled.

"Raikou, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"……Too."

Minamoto no Raikou recalled with a polite smile.

"Master has always been the kind of person who speaks his mind."

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou's gaze once again fell on the man in front of him.

"Master, you said that my performance was good, right?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded. "After only half a year of study, he was able to kill nearly twenty ghosts. This is already better than the average Yin-Yang Master."

"That means..."

Minamoto no Raikou's feet gently drew circles on the tatami.

"I have brought pride to Master?"

"Of course," Ian replied without hesitation.

"If that's the case—"

"Master, as your pride, can I make a small request? Just consider it as a reward for my hard work."

"any request?"

"You haven't met a member of the opposite sex that makes your heart beat in half a year."

Minamoto no Raikou's voice began to tremble.

"And I lack a reward from you."

"So--"

"To solve both problems at the same time."

"Master, could you please be a little bit inconsiderate and marry me as your temporary wife?"

"..."

"Master, what is that look in your eyes?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian in front of him, his beautiful purple pupils filled with worry.

"Is my request too rude?"

Ian shook his head.

"Nothing."

"And it's more of a surprise than it is rude."

"Accident?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "I didn't expect you, Raikou, to still be thinking about these things."

"Yes, it is."

Minamoto no Raikou lowered his head, looking very shy.

"Master, I have been thinking about it every moment for the past six months."

"But I know it's stupid to keep nagging at you like a nagging woman...so I didn't dare to speak out my thoughts until today."

"But Master, if you think this request is too much, please just pretend I never mentioned it."

"From now on, I will still serve you well."

"..."

Ian looked at her in front of him and fell into silence.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"Raikou, is this really what you want in your heart?"

"Yes, Master." Minamoto no Raikou said without hesitation, "Please do not doubt my determination."

"I decided to reveal my true feelings to you after thinking about it for more than half a year."

"alright, I got it."

Ian smiled.

"Now that you say so."

"After you, Raikou, kill 'Tubi', I will propose to your father the idea of ​​marrying you."

"but--"

"Whether he agrees or not is not something I can control."

Minamoto no Raikou never expected that Ian would agree so quickly - she thought she would definitely be rejected.

After all, he doesn't seem to be interested in women.

The warrior's ethereal purple eyes were filled with disbelief at the words that had just been spoken.

But she soon realized this was a rare opportunity.

She shook her head and shouted:

"Will not!"

"If Master is willing to marry me, I will convince my father no matter what, even at the cost of my own death!"

"Raikou, you can't do this."

Ian reached out and gently stroked his apprentice's hair.

"It's stupid to use someone's care to threaten them."

"Before that, let's kill the demons that need to be killed."

"Yes!"

【Minamoto no Raikou begins to prepare a plan to kill 'Tubi'. 】

[As a meaningful commemoration, she asks you not to give any instructions this time, and let her defeat this ghost alone. ]

【You promised this. 】

[The warrior's love is lost: You realize that Minamoto no Raikou has grown much faster than you thought, and she has her own ideas. ]

You are very happy about this.

[Because getting rid of dependence on others is a necessary step for an Onmyoji to grow. 】

[After all, it is impossible to have a companion by your side all the time. 】

"Tubi" is a kind of ghost hiding in the wall.

Its combat capability is not that high, but it is difficult to identify.

The conventional approach is to find a suspicious wall and then use destructive tools to destroy it thoroughly.

This can be an extremely messy process.

After all, "Tu Bi" would not sit still and wait for death, he would definitely flee somewhere.

This is a campaign of extermination that will test the Onmyoji's level.

But Ian soon discovered that Minamoto no Raikou did not intend to do so.

She chose to pour the magic water directly onto the paint used to renovate the walls, and then, under the pretext of repairs, she made the walls in Kyoto no longer suitable for "painting".

This is a more comprehensive approach.

The moment the black shadow emerged from the wall, Minamoto no Raikou smiled with joy.

"Master, I did it."

"Yeah, you did."

The dead "Tubi" is not only the proof of the agreement between the two, but also the symbol of Minamoto no Raikou's departure.

[The gift of Master Genji has been lost: You are no longer Master Minamoto no Raikou, but she still respects you very much. 】

【Tu Bi was killed.】

[According to the agreement, it is time for you to ask Minamoto no Mitsunaka to marry Minamoto no Yorimitsu. ]

You picked a good day.

[You shave your beard, tie your hair up, and dress neatly to make yourself look as elegant as possible.]

[And Minamoto no Raikou said before that there was no need to worry, even if you fail, she will still try her best. ]

[But when it really came to this, she actually became a little nervous. ]
