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

He picked up the knife in his hand and stabbed Shuten-doji in front of him.

The opponent did not make any evasive move.

The knife pierced her chest, but no blood splattered.

Shuten-doji started laughing.

"Uncle~ You don't really think you can kill me with this, do you?"

"If that's the case, I feel underestimated."

It's a clone.

Ian realized this immediately.

No wonder she never dodged any attack - because there was no need to do so.

And it was precisely because of this that she appeared in front of him so blatantly.

but……

Why didn't she appear in front of Kintaro just now?

"Hahahaha~"

Shuten-doji laughed even more happily.

At the last moment before she disappeared, she said:

"The uncle seems very unconvinced."

"Let's do this~"

"Since the blond kid also said he wanted to come visit where I live, and the uncle looks like he wants to kill me so much."

"Then come to see me at Oeyama!"

124. Brothers who finally accepted each other/The Four Heavenly Kings of Raiko! (-word chapter)

Shuten-doji's clone turned into black particles and dissipated bit by bit.

But what she said remained deeply in Ian's mind.

"Oeyama."

A place Ian had never known before but that sounded very familiar.

The shadows soon dissipated,

No trace was left on the ground.

And Kintaro ran out from the other side, shouting.

"The boy still hasn't come!"

"..."

Ian glanced at the place where Shuten-doji had just been.

"She probably won't come."

"But, Kintaro, I think I might be able to take you to see her."

"Really?!"

"Really, but you have to listen to me carefully."

"Okay! Okay! I will!"

[Out of guilt, you accompanied Kintaro to play in this mountain for a day. ]

[But you have not forgotten the "invitation" from Shuten-doji. ]

[You know you will definitely go to the appointment, but not now.]

[The next day, you and Kintaro returned to Heian-kyō together. ]

[You told Minamoto no Raikou exactly what you saw and heard. ]

"This……"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him, his brows furrowed and his expression seemed a little serious.

"Are you saying that Sadamitsu accidentally killed Kintaro's mother?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "That's basically it."

"hiss……"

Minamoto no Raikou took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect Kintaro to be the son of a demon, but he himself is not a demon at all, and he doesn't know what a demon is."

"Maybe Yamauba himself doesn't want Kintaro to think he's a ghost."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him.

“That’s why I chose to do this.”

"But I was a little surprised that Shuten-doji also cooperated."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou was silent for a while and then asked another question.

"My dear, if that's the case, ghosts aren't necessarily all evil, right?"

"maybe--"

Ian's heart was not shaken by this.

"But for us, ghosts are things that shouldn't exist."

"Although they may have various reasons to stay in this world, in the end they should still leave."

"This is our duty as Yin Yang Masters."

"but--"

"But you still want to deal with Kintaro's matter a little bit, right?"

Before Ian could finish his words, Minamoto no Raikou had already answered with a smile.

"Ma'am, do you understand what I mean?"

"Isn't that natural?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him with tenderness.

"I have poured double the love into my husband."

"Besides, ghosts are ghosts."

"Kintaro is Kintaro."

"Since Sadamitsu made such a mistake in order not to make us worry."

"Then we should take action as well."

[You and Minamoto no Raikou have reached a consensus.]

【You decide to look at the process in which Usui Sadamitsu inadvertently lets go. 】

[Although morally speaking, this adopted son did nothing wrong. ]

[You and Minamoto no Raikou gave Kintaro a new name, Sakata Kintoki.]

[You decided to adopt him as your adopted son as before.]

[In this way, Kintaro can also be protected by your reputation. ]

[However, Usui Sadamitsu and Ubube Suketake seemed to be a little confused about this matter. ]

"Why did my foster father adopt such a weirdo as his adopted son?"

"Sadamitsu, this is so wrong!"

"You're right, Ji Wu. I also can't understand why my foster father would do this. He was clearly the one we caught when we killed the ghost, but he treated him so well."

"If you can't understand, then don't understand."

Watanabe Tsuna's voice came.

Usui Sadamitsu and Ubube Suketake turned around and saw him holding a knife.

"We will do whatever our foster father tells us to do."

"Do you want to disobey your foster father's order?"

"……Yes."

[With the support of Watanabe Tsuna, this matter was barely passed. ]

【But he also knew that the two brothers were unwilling to contact Sakata Kintoki, so he took on the responsibility of teaching Sakata Kintoki. 】

【This is actually a very heavy burden for him. 】

[After all, while teaching Sakata Kintoki, he also had to continue practicing his own demon-killing skills. ]

[However, Watanabe Tsuna's actions are as solid as his swordsmanship. ]

[He never complained about anything, but just taught Sakata Kintoki silently with the greatest patience. ]

[You saw all of this.]

[You also treat your adopted son and apprentice very attentively, and from time to time you send people to deliver the things he needs.]

[Until this day, Watanabe Tsuna took the initiative to find you. 】

"Tsuna, please sit down."

Ian looked at Watanabe Tsuna who came to visit him and handed him a cup of fine tea.

"Is there a problem?"

Watanabe Tsuna took a sip of his tea and answered.

"Father……"

"I have a story about Jin Shi, but I don't know if I should tell you about it."

"Go ahead."

Ian looked directly at his adopted son.

"I have seen your attitude towards Jinshi."

"That--"

Watanabe Tsuna was still hesitating.

He seemed to have made some difficult decision.

"Godfather, I think I may not be able to teach Jinshi anymore."

"..."

Not a surprising answer.

Ian saw clearly how hard Watanabe Tsuna worked.

It is more commendable that he has persisted until now to say this.

"Are you too tired?"

"If that's the case, maybe we should take a break."

"No." Watanabe Tsuna shook his head.

"I'm not saying this because I'm tired."

"Ok?"

This answer was somewhat unexpected to Ian.

"Then, Tsuna, why do you say that?"
