"Shuten is a very powerful demon."

"Even if I'm gone, you and Ibaraki will definitely be able to live well in Heian-kyo."

"Besides -"

"And Xiaoyu will take care of you."

"..."

Shuten-doji realized that the Great Onmyoji had already thought of all the problems.

This was something he had decided after careful consideration - it could never be changed.

Realizing that the situation was inevitable, Shuten-doji buried his head in the great Onmyoji's chest.

Her little hands were tightly clutching his clothes, and she was muttering softly.

"It's all the cow's fault."

"I hate that cow so much...I will never forgive her..."

"..."

【You don’t have much to say.】

[You can only wait silently for Shuten-doji to vent his inner emotions. ]

【Fortunately, this process is not long. 】

[Perhaps, she does agree with what you just said. ]

Shuten-doji sniffed and looked up at Ian.

She still couldn't accept this.

But she also knew she couldn't stop him.

"Uncle...if you really want to do this, there will be a problem, right?"

"what is the problem?"

"That's how a cow could possibly kill you?"

"She obviously loves you too."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"So I couldn't let her know what I did."

"But how is this possible?!" Shuten Douji looked at Ian in confusion.

"If I were to kill you, I would definitely know who you are!"

Ian looked at Shuten-doji in his arms, his eyes filled with determination after repeated thinking.

"That's true given my current status."

"so--"

"Shuten, I need your help."

"My help?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded and then looked into the distance.

"Use your power to bring another One Hundred Demons Night Parade to Heian-kyō."

"I will be killed by Raikou as a demon at that time."

"That way, she won't realize anything is wrong."

160. In the name of a ghost, let’s die quietly that night (End of Volume )

【Your plan is continuing. 】

[You know that under normal circumstances, Minamoto no Raikou would never swing a knife at you.]

[You need to find a scene in which she will not realize that she has killed you.]

【That is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. 】

[You know that if you could disguise yourself as a demon at that time, Minamoto no Raikou could kill you without you knowing.]

[You told Shuten-doji your plan. ]

"..."

After hearing the entire plan, Shuten-doji was silent for a long time before speaking again:

"Uncle, do you want to pretend to be the ghost you dislike the most and then be killed by that cow?"

"I really didn't like ghosts before."

Ian hugged Shuten-doji in his arms a little tighter.

"But after meeting you and Ibaraki, I no longer think so."

"There are indeed some evil ghosts in this world, but there are also ghosts like you and Ibaraki who value friends and live like humans."

"If you think about it from this perspective—"

"In fact, humans are also 'ghosts' in another sense to you."

"Once I understood this, I was able to accept it all."

“The Heian-kyō where ghosts and humans coexist is the real Heian-kyō.”

"..."

Shuten-doji lowered his head and muttered softly.

"Uncle, you have changed a lot."

"Yeah." Ian nodded. "Shuten, you're right. My thoughts are indeed changing all the time."

"After all, neither people nor Yin-Yang magic are static."

"We don't understand Yin and Yang magic!"

Shuten-doji rubbed his head hard on Ian's clothes.

"I just know that I can't bear to leave my uncle."

"Isn't that the same for me?"

Ian's hand gently stroked the streamline of Shuten-doji's buttocks.

"After all, it took a lot of effort to train Shuten to be a little pet who will feel uncomfortable if he is not taught a lesson with a stick for a day."

"Who becomes that kind of pet?"

Shuten-doji blushed as he refuted the Great Onmyoji's words, but his body was very honest and allowed him to play with it.

Deep down, she really liked the feeling of being treated like a little pet by him.

Because at least it shows that he doesn't hate being with me.

"Uncle, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"That's it..." Shuten-doji gently rubbed the hand that was blaspheming him.

"Have you ever liked me and Ibaraki?"

"..."

Ian looked at the little female ghost who finally mustered up the courage to ask this question.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"Laugh, what are you laughing at!"

Shuten-doji shouted hurriedly.

“Is the question we asked strange?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his lips, which usually loved drinking, were tightly sealed in an instant, and then returned to normal.

It took Shuten-doji a while to understand what had happened—the man in front of him kissed him!

"Shuten, do you understand what I mean?"

Ian stroked Shuten-doji's hot little head.

"Ming, I understand."

Shuten-doji felt the world in front of her eyes begin to blur - this was the first time she had truly kissed him.

"That's good."

"Please give the answer to this question to Ibaraki as well."

[Shuten-doji finally agreed to your plan. ]

【You start to take action. 】

[Shuten-doji once again gathered hundreds of demons in the name of the demon king in Mount Oe. ]

[Of course, they are no longer the Hundred Ghosts of the past. ]

【It is a ghost that was "bred" anew by Oeyama in the past few years. 】

[It seems that because the mystery has faded, the current hundred ghosts can no longer be compared with the original hundred ghosts. 】

[Shuten-doji led this large force to attack Heian-kyō.]

[She knows that the more "victories" a ghost has, the closer it is to your death. ]

[It was an extremely uncomfortable thing to do, but she had to do it.]

【Finally, Heian-kyō welcomed the third Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. 】

【You know the time has come.】

Inside Genji's residence.

"Husband."

Minamoto no Raikou wiped the famous sword Kneemaru in his hand.

"The ghosts have come to Heian-kyō again."

"Yeah." Ian nodded in response, pretending to be calm. "Maybe it's because the ghosts are jealous of the prosperity of Heian-kyō."

"I see."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded.

"Husband, you have a point."

The warrior pointed the famous sword, Hibikimaru, in the air.

"Looks like it's time for us to make an appearance again."

"Without further delay, let's set the ghost-killing operation tonight. How about that?"

"Well, I'll listen to my lady."

"Okay." Minamoto no Raikou stood up, "Then I will report this matter today."

"But then again—"

Minamoto no Raikou's gaze fell on the lover in front of him.

"My husband, you are right. Fujiwara Tokuko hasn't troubled me recently."

"She no longer concealed the fact that the Pope was dead, but made it public directly."

"Maybe she was sobered up by the fire." Ian explained with a smile, "Or maybe she was moved by the lady's actions."

"Is that right?"

These answers made Minamoto no Raikou very happy.

"See you tonight, husband."
