"Yes."

Ian looked straight at Shuten-doji, who had been deprived of all his power.

"You should know that you don't have any right to make any choice now."

"and--"

"If you want to find out what I am, shouldn't you do your best to help me?"

"..."

Ian's words caused Shuten-doji to fall silent.

Finally, she nodded.

"Okay, we got it."

"But let me make this clear first—"

"I am just the ghost king of Dajiang Mountain, not a god who knows everything about heaven and earth."

"I may not be able to answer the questions you asked!"

Ian nodded.

"I know."

"I'm not saying you have to answer all the questions - but at least, you have to be honest."

"Alright, alright." Shuten-doji raised his hand, "There's no need to say these words."

"Just ask."

"Well."

Shuten-doji is not confused, and neither is Ian.

"After you die, ghosts will still appear in Heian-kyō... Is this your men avenging you?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Ian's words, Shuten-doji seemed a little surprised.

"Are there any more ghosts appearing?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "And it's even more powerful than before."

"I wonder if this is something your men did?"

"This one……"

Listening to Ian's words, Shuten-doji fell into deep thought.

She shook her head and replied:

“Then I think it’s unlikely.”

"why?"

"because--"

Shuten-doji scratched his face, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Although we were constantly sending people to Heian-kyō at that time."

"But if we really die, I don't think they will dare to continue doing this kind of thing."

"after all."

Shuten-doji supported himself with both hands.

"I am the ghost king of Dajiang Mountain."

"If even the Ghost King is killed, even if there are still ghosts under our command who want to cause trouble, I'm afraid they won't have the courage to do so."

"Ah."

Ian suddenly found it funny.

"Even though you were defeated, why do I feel like you seem a little proud?"

"Even if you're defeated, you still get points!"

Shuten-doji argued unconvincedly.

"If I were defeated by an ordinary person, I certainly wouldn't say there's anything worth showing off."

"Can--"

"I was able to make that busty woman burst out with such strength, and I was only defeated by a surprise attack. I am considered to be quite capable, right?"

[You don't deny Shuten-doji's words.]

[Although your memory is a little fuzzy, you can still vaguely recall what the origin Raikou looked like at that time. ]

[Are you sure that is definitely not an ability she can use normally? ]

[However, you still have some thoughts about Shuten-doji's words. ]

"Are you sure there is really no ghost who will avenge you?"

Ian asked again.

"It's impossible that the entire Dajiang Mountain is useless except for you, right?"

"..."

"Why do we feel like you are secretly stepping on Dajiangshan?"

Although Shuten-doji muttered this, he was still thinking seriously.

The pair of angry horns on her head were also flashing.

Soon, she replied:

"If you say so, I do think there is another ghost who can do this."

"who is it?"

"Ibaraki... for you, I should call him Ibaraki Douji, right?"

Shuten-doji spoke carelessly.

"If there is anyone in the entire Dajiang Mountain who is capable of causing a big commotion after my death, it would probably be her."

"Then can you be sure that she did it?" Ian asked immediately.

"Uncle, please don't give us any problems, okay?!"

Shuten-doji was a little anxious.

"We are not gods, how can we know it so easily?"

"What if——"

Ian looked at the petite ghost girl in front of him.

"Can I let you go around the capital?"

"..."

Shuten-doji is not slow.

She quickly understood what Ian meant - he wanted to take her to see the places where ghosts had been.

In this way, we can confirm what we just said.

"Uncle, you really use me as a tool."

"Don't talk about these nonsense, just tell me if it's okay or not?"

“…Let’s try it first.”

"We'll try our best."

[The innate mountain and water flow has been activated: Under your influence, Shuten-doji was recognized as a servant in the mansion, and no one doubted it. ]

[And rather than figuring out why there was another "person" beside you, the servants in the mansion wanted to know how you woke up. ]

[But at this moment, you don’t have the heart to explain this to them. ]

[You just want to know who is endangering Heian-kyō. ]

[You must never allow any ghost to harm Minamoto no Raikou. ]

[You took Shuten-doji outside. ]

"Eh?!"

Shuten-doji looked at the wine that Ian bought for him and blinked, looking very surprised.

"You want to give this to us?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Shuten-doji, I'm not the kind of Onmyoji who only knows how to exploit others."

"Just do your job well, and I will never treat you unfairly."

"This is one of Kyoto's finest wines - I'm giving it to you as a token of my sincerity."

"..."

Shuten-doji hugged the bottle of wine tightly.

"This is what you said!"

"We don't like lies!"

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: Although you have been in a coma for more than two years, you have not forgotten what you can do as a Great Onmyoji. ]

[You take Shuten-doji to the streets of Kyoto and visit places where ghosts have appeared before.]

[You hope this will directly help you determine who the ghost is that caused trouble after Shuten-doji. ]

【But things are not as simple as imagined. 】

"wrong."

"None of it is right."

Shuten-doji, holding the bottle of wine, kept shaking his head.

"okay!"

"You don't have to take me anywhere else!"

"It's definitely not Ibaraki who did this - she wouldn't resort to such means."

"..."

Ian did not doubt Shuten-doji's words.

After all, for her, there was no point in lying about such things.
