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

So this is what he meant - to let Ibaraki Douji, who was just an assist before, come in and experience it for real.

"Uncle, you..."

Shuten-doji said this, but he watched carefully the process of his friend's back garden being developed.

after all--

She actually also wanted to know how Ibaraki Douji viewed her at that time.

After a long time, the rhythm stopped.

A trickling stream appeared in Ibaraki Douji's back garden.

Tick ​​tock.

Shuten-doji below felt the warmth on his cheek.

She stuck out her little tongue and tasted the work of the three of them.

The Great Onmyoji's voice rang in her ears.

"Shuten, it's your turn."

This is not a one-time process.

[The two little ghosts who were thoroughly developed by you begged you to do it again and again. ]

You didn’t reject them.

[After all, they have indeed paid a lot for you along the way. ]

[The two little ghosts spent a wonderful time with your help. ]

in the room.

Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, who had had a great time, snuggled up to Ian on either side.

The corners of their mouths were covered with white hair.

There was also a burst of heat in the back garden.

"Ibaraki, do you see how comfortable uncle is here with us?!"

“The kind that can’t be stopped at all!”

"turn down."

Ibaraki Douji poked his head and looked at Shuten Douji.

"Sir Abe is obviously happier here with me."

"No way!"

"Yes!"

"No! Ibaraki, stop dreaming! Uncle enjoys it more here with us!"

"It's Shuten who shouldn't have dreamed. I clearly provided a better experience."

The two little ghosts started arguing about something strange, and then they all looked at the great Onmyoji.

This is not surprising - whose back garden is more comfortable is of course determined by those who have actually entered the back garden.

however.

When Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji looked at the Great Onmyoji, what they saw was a face that was deeply thoughtful about something.

He didn't seem very happy.

"..."

"..."

Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji suddenly became quiet.

And this silence also brought Ian back to his senses.

When he realized that the two little ghosts were looking at him, he immediately smiled.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you say you had enough fun? Why are you still looking at me like that?"

Shuten-doji hesitated for a while and then said:

"Uncle...what's wrong with you?"

"Did we go too far with Ibaraki?"

"of course not."

Ian gently touched the heads of the two little ones.

"I was just wondering why Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet?"

"..."

Hearing this, Shuten-doji turned his face away.

"Uncle...it turns out that Ibaraki and I didn't serve him well enough."

"That fox demon knows much more than us, right?"

[You realize that Shuten-douji is a little sad because of what you said. ]

[You realize that this is contrary to the purpose of tonight.]

【You decide to speak your mind. 】

"No, Shuten."

"That's not what I meant."

Ian looked directly at the two little ghosts beside him.

"I just hope that Xiaoyu can fix the mirror soon - then I'll have a chance to figure out how to untie the restraints on Raikou."

"Lord Abe."

Ibaraki Douji, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time.

"I have a question."

"Go ahead, Izuku."

"Hmm..." Ibaraki Douji licked the marks at the corner of his mouth.

"What if the cost of unlocking it is very high?"

"That needs to be solved too." Ian answered the question without hesitation.

"Ibaraki, this is not a choice. There is no such thing as seeking benefits or avoiding harm."

“All I have to do is keep trying until I find a way that works.”

"But uncle, is it all worth it?"

Shuten-doji muttered quietly.

"You've done so many things, but the cows don't know anything."

“Is such silent dedication really reasonable?”

“There is nothing reasonable or unreasonable.”

Ian gently touched Shuten-douji's head - he knew she was feeling sorry for him.

"This is my promise."

"I promised Raikou's father that I would protect her no matter what."

"I also promised Ugly Gozen that I would never let Raikou become her."

"As an Onmyoji, you have to be trustworthy."

Hearing this, Shuten-doji pouted and lay on Ian's lap.

"I'm so jealous."

"envy?"

"Yes!" Shuten-doji muttered, "I also want to be uncle's wife."

"But there's no chance now, right?"

"..."

"Uncle, what's that look in your eyes?!"

Shuten-doji blushed and spoke in a delicate voice.

"We are serious!"

"I like you very much! I like you so much that I want you to be my wife!"

After saying this, Shuten-doji felt a little embarrassed and turned away.

Ian laughed.

He nodded and said gently:

"I understand."

"but--"

"I really can't let Jiutun have you as my wife. I'm sorry."

"Woo woo woo, you rejected me without any hesitation!"

Shuten-doji sighed.

"But we already knew that."

"The uncles of this era have long been occupied by cows."

"only--"

The female ghost raised her head and forced a sad smile.

"I still want to stay with uncle, is that okay?"

"..."

Ian flicked Shuten-doji's head gently.

"Don't say such things—"

"It's as if I'll let you go."

"Uncle..."

Shuten-doji felt even more embarrassed.

Ibaraki Douji raised his hand at this time.

"Sir Abe, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"What are Nago and Shuten to Lord Abe?" Ibaraki Douji tilted his head slightly, "If they are not wives, then they are concubines?"

"what?"

Before Ian could answer, Shuten-doji became anxious.

"Ibaraki you idiot! Why are you asking such a question?!"

"But Shutenru, don't you want to know?"

Ibaraki Douji looked at his friend.

"This..." Shuten-doji was speechless.

The two little ghosts' eyes were once again tacitly focused on the great Onmyoji.

"If you want to ask that, then—"

Ian stretched out his hands and hugged Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji on the left and right.
