In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

He was uneasy;

He was extremely panicked, just like a playful child being discovered by his mother.

Watanabe Tsuna hid half of his sword blade behind his back and shook his head repeatedly.

"No, I'm not imitating."

This crude trick naturally could not fool Minamoto no Raikou.

but--

She also had no intention of pointing out the inner thoughts of the uneasy Watanabe Tsuna in front of her.

She brought up another matter.

"Watanabe, if I remember correctly, your purpose of coming to Kyoto is to find a great Onmyoji, right?"

"..."

Watanabe Tsuna did not directly respond to Minamoto no Raikou, but just nodded silently.

"That--"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian in front of him, his eyes filled with the tenderness between husband and wife.

"Actually, Mr. Abe is the great Onmyoji you're looking for, right?"

"?!"

Watanabe Tsuna looked at Minamoto no Raikou, then at Ian, his eyes filled with disbelief.

It took him a while to utter a word.

"Really, really?"

"of course it's true."

Minamoto no Raikou still had that amiable look on his face.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone."

"Everyone in this mansion knows the same thing very well - the most powerful Onmyoji in all of Heian-kyō is in this mansion right now."

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Tsuna showed a look of surprise.

But soon, he became inexplicably worried again.

The lonely boy looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him and asked in a low voice:

"Will he teach someone like me how to kill demons?"

"It's hard to say."

Minamoto no Raikou pretended to be unaware.

"Maybe you have to ask your husband yourself."

That was Ian's whole plan.

Both the couple have certain attainments in swordsmanship, so there will be no problem no matter who shows it to Watanabe Tsuna.

But the key to everything lies in how to deal with his emotions after the show.

Simply telling Watanabe Tsuna how powerful his and Minamoto no Raikou's swordsmanship was was not enough to get him to take action.

After all, he didn't necessarily feel that he was qualified to learn that kind of thing.

Only when Watanabe Tsuna realized that "he had a chance to qualify to be taught" could the two achieve their true goal.

obviously--

If one wanted to achieve this, it would be much easier with Minamoto no Raikou, who had a better relationship with him.

Ever since.

The whole plan came out.

One showed force, and the other gave advice.

This is the little “trick” of the Onmyoji couple.

at the same time--

Watanabe Tsuna heard the hidden meaning in Minamoto no Raikou's words.

Holding the half sword blade, he looked at Ian in the courtyard, his eyes beginning to become confused little by little.

Minamoto no Raikou knew clearly that he only needed a little motivation at this moment.

With a warm smile, she said as if as a reminder:

"Watanabe, my husband will feel much better when he uses the sword."

[Minamoto no Raikou's words gave Watanabe Tsuna enough hints. ]

[He realized that what was waiting for him was a once-in-a-lifetime "opportunity."]

[He did not hesitate any longer.]

[He holds his half-broken sword and walks towards you.]

You noticed this pretty quickly.

【You know Minamoto no Raikou succeeded. 】

"..."

Watanabe Tsuna came to Ian's side and looked at the powerful man in front of him cautiously.

Although the Great Onmyoji understood the boy's inner thoughts at the moment, he could only pretend to know nothing and ask him.

Because his and Minamoto no Raikou's goal was to make Watanabe Tsuna make the request himself.

"what happened?"

"you're good."

Watanabe Tsuna looked at Ian and the wooden sword in his hand and praised him.

"It's just a wooden sword, but it can be used to such an effect."

Ian doesn't need praise from others.

I don't even need praise from someone who is much younger than me.

However, he also knew that this was not the time to show off these things - the most important thing was how to make Watanabe Tsuna express his thoughts.

"Is this a sincere comment or a compliment?"

"..."

The boy hesitated for a moment and answered:

"It's the truth."

"so--"

Watanabe Tsuna hesitated for a long time before speaking:

"Can you teach me this sword technique?"

"I want to use it to kill ghosts."

[You once again felt the heaviness you felt when you first met him on the streets of Kyoto.]

[He must be carrying some past that is difficult to face.]

You decide to dig it all out.

[And that half of the sword blade is the best insertion point. 】

"Why do you want to kill ghosts?"

Ian asked the same question to different people.

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Tsuna subconsciously looked at the half-broken sword in his hand - this was almost the same action as last time.

The red eyes soon became panicked again.

It seemed that everything was about to happen again.

At this time, Ian directly snatched the half blade from his hand.

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

Watanabe Tsuna, who lost his blade, shouted loudly.

And this shout touched Minamoto Yorimitsu, who was waiting not far away.

She looked at the half-broken sword in his hand and walked over with a worried look on her face.

"Husband, what are you..."

"Madam, you should know that you must not have second thoughts when learning the art of killing ghosts."

Ian held the half of the sword, looked at Watanabe Tsuna in front of him, and spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"so--"

"Watanabe, if you really want to learn the art of killing ghosts from me."

"Then we can't behave like we are now."

"Husband, is this a bit..."

Before Minamoto no Raikou could finish his words, Ian stopped him with his hand.

"Madam, please don't interfere this time."

"If I don't solve this problem, even if I teach him the art of killing ghosts, it will only harm him."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou said nothing more.

Because Ian rarely spoke to her in such a tone - this proved that he really intended to do this.

She chose to believe him.

Watanabe Tsuna's hands were shaking.

It was obvious that Ian's words had touched him deeply.

"Do I have to give up that blade... in order to learn the sword technique of killing demons?"

"Correct."

Ian looked directly at Watanabe Tsuna in front of him.

With the dignity of Master, I speak:

"As long as you are willing to give it up, I will teach you the sword technique that can kill all the demons in the world."

"Otherwise, everything will be in vain."

"..."

Watanabe Tsuna looked at the half-broken sword in Ian's hand, swallowing something in his throat.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I see."

"I will give up this blade... Please teach me the art of killing demons!"

【Watanabe Tsuna's heart knot has been untied. 】

[You broke off half of his sword.]

[You and Minamoto no Raikou finally learned what happened to him. ]

[Just as you and Minamoto no Raikou had guessed at the beginning - the source of all this is the evil demon. ]

【Watanabe Tsuna originally had a happy family. 】

【But for some unknown reason, a ghost attacked his village at night. 】

[That half of the sword blade was the last relic left by his father when he fought fiercely with the demon.]
