"But I also have to keep my promise."
"Before you figure out my situation, you are also someone I need to protect."
[Shuten-doji heard what you said. 】
[Her expression seemed somewhat complicated.]
[She seemed to want to say something, but then changed her mind.]
"It's so embarrassing to be called a protected object by the great Yin-Yang Master."
Shuten-doji curled his lips.
"But if you say so—"
The petite ghost girl glanced at Ian in front of her.
"What on earth was the power that busty woman unleashed at that time?"
"Stop calling me a busty bitch."
Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him with a serious look.
"Her name is Minamoto no Raikou."
"Okay, okay, Minamoto no Raikou." Shuten-doji changed the subject, "What was the power that she unleashed at that time?"
“We don’t think that’s normal.”
Shuten-doji still insisted on one point of view - that she was not defeated by Minamoto no Raikou, but was defeated by the power in her that she did not know where it came from.
But it has to be said.
Although Shuten-doji's idea seems a bit stubborn, it still makes some sense.
After all, as Minamoto no Raikou's husband, Ian never remembered seeing her display this ability.
“That’s one of the questions I want to know.”
Ian did not hide his thoughts.
"For now, it seems to only have this effect when she's particularly excited."
"Excited?"
Shuten-doji scratched his face.
"So, isn't Minamoto no Raikou just like a fighting bull?"
"If you offend her even a little, she could bring about terrible thunder and lightning."
"..."
"Why do you always look at me like that? It's scary."
Ian shook his head.
"nothing."
"I just think that if you put it that way, the situation will become dangerous."
"Is the situation going to get dangerous?"
"Yeah." Ian nodded.
"Didn't you say that the person who sent the demons to Heian-kyō to do evil this time has many similarities with Raikoh?"
“That’s just how we feel.”
Shuten-douji quickly distanced herself from the matter - she didn't want to be held responsible for her own speculation.
"Is this actually the case? There is no way to confirm it, right?"
"No." Ian shook his head again.
"Of course I don't think so simply because of your one-sided words."
"Actually—"
Ian gestured on the table with his fingers.
"If you think back to where we just walked, you'll find that they were all areas near the mansion."
"At this time, combined with what you just said."
"..."
Shuten-doji began to think.
Soon, she had the answer.
"Wouldn't that be equivalent to having a being that is very similar to Minamoto no Yorimitsu, but at the same time hostile to her?"
"Yes."
Ian looked directly at Shuten-doji in front of him.
"Add to that the ability to control ghosts - that's what I call dangerous."
"Wait a moment!"
Shuten-doji reached out and stopped Ian.
"Then how did this thing appear? You have confused me."
[You are silent. 】
[You looked at Shuten-doji in front of you and hesitated for a long time. ]
【You decide to talk to her more. 】
[You repeated to her what Yuan Manzhong had said to you.]
【Shuten-doji was very surprised by this.】
The expression of the Ghost King of Oeyama at this moment seemed very surprised.
"That cow actually carried something like this?"
"I never thought this would happen."
"Actually, the more dangerous thing is something else."
Ian looked at the petite female ghost in front of him, his expression appearing much more serious than before.
"What's the matter?" Shuten-doji asked.
"Well... now that it can be confirmed that it was not done by the ghosts of Mount Oe, it is actually happening right now."
"So--"
Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him.
"Perhaps there is some connection between it and the power used by Raikou."
Shuten-doji was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.
"You mean, because Minamoto no Raikou used that power to kill me, that led to the birth of 'that existence'?"
"Yes." Ian nodded, "I think that's probably the case."
The outline of the story is clear.
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons disturbed Heian-kyo, which led to the attack on Mount Oe.
During this expedition, Minamoto no Raikou used that power because he was eager to rescue his husband from Shuten-doji's sea of fire.
Next——
This is the situation now.
obviously.
The power in Minamoto no Raikou is not as simple as imagined.
"Hey!"
Shuten-doji became a little anxious.
"If you say so, then aren't all the problems our fault?"
"I have done bad things! But not all bad things were done by me!"
"That's not what I meant." Ian responded.
"Besides, if I really want to talk about it——"
"If I could have knocked you down, Raikou wouldn't have used that power, right?"
"is my problem."
"Eh?" Shuten-doji was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It's because I'm too good!"
"Shuten-doji, you are wrong. I am too weak."
"No, it's us!"
Shuten-doji gulped down the bottle of wine that Ian gave him, and became a little bolder.
"This is because we are too strong!"
"..."
Ian smiled.
There was no further discussion on the question of who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Well, there's no point in saying this now."
"In the next period of time, I hope you can continue to help me figure these things out."
I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much or for some other reason.
Shuten-doji's face was already very red.
"You don't have to tell me, I can do it too."
"Of course, the premise is that there is enough wine!"
"You can drink as much as you want if you can help."
【Minamoto no Raikou is already very busy. 】
【So you choose to handle these things yourself in secret. 】
[You and Shuten-doji begin further investigation in Heian-kyō.]
[You find that this Oeyama Ghost King is not as difficult to get along with as you imagined. He is just being stubborn.]
【However, this did not help your investigation in any way. 】
【Until this day.】
【A letter arrived at Genji's residence. 】
[It seems to come from a place called "Ghost Island." ]
130. Letter from Ugly Gozen from Onigashima (-word chapter)
[This is a letter that was delivered directly to Genji's residence.]
【Perhaps it should not have been handed over to you.】
[But when you look at this letter, you feel like you have to open it. ]
You opened it.
The contents of the envelope were simple.
It could even be said that it was somewhat beyond Ian's expectations.
"Please ask 'me' to come to Ghost Island."
"——Chou Yu Qian Ginseng."
Apart from these two purposeful sentences, the rest is narrative content, all of which are instructions on how to reach Onigashima.
