The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"I was worried for so long!"

"Sorry, sorry, my question."

The originally terrible relationship was repaired little by little with the man's "firefighting".

Next, we will meet up with Nightingale and then leave this singularity!

however--

Things don't always go smoothly.

When daybreak came, Ian and his crew, having rested well, returned to the car provided by Edison.

What he saw were two anxious looking Heian-kyo imps.

To be precise, it should be Shuten-doji.

"Uncle, I don't know where that cow monster number two has gone!"

720. Shuten Ibaraki Wants to Collect Essence/The Missing Nightingale (4k)

Only Shuten-doji would describe Ian as "uncle".

In her words, uncle refers to someone like him who is mature and reliable.

of course.

If we actually discuss age, Ian feels that Shuten-doji might not really be able to call him uncle.

After all, she and Ibaraki Douji are both demons born from Mount Oe.

Its actual age is probably as long as the existence of Oeyama.

but--

None of this is the point.

Ian held down the flustered Shuten-doji, and then said softly:

"Shuten, don't be so anxious."

"Tell me clearly what's going on!"

"Eh……"

After hearing what Ian said, Shuten-doji realized that he was too panicked.

"No, no... We can't do this... We are the Ghost King of Mount Dajiang."

The female ghost said this while slapping her face and then responded.

"Just when we got up, Cow Monster No. 2 disappeared!"

"..."

Although the name "Cow Monster No. 2" sounds awkward, Ian completely understands who Shuten-doji is talking about.

That's Nightingale.

A great Ruler worthy of praise, who came here because of some kind of revelation.

"Can you tell me a little more?"

The man gently stroked Shuten-doji's head.

The latter gradually calmed down because of this overly comfortable touch.

"that is--"

"Originally, Ibaraki, the short-haired girl named Gareth, and Cow Monster No. 2 were all sleeping in the car."

"But when I woke up this morning, she who was sleeping in front was gone!"

"Gone?"

"Ah."

Ibaraki Douji, who had been silent for a long time, echoed.

She naturally leaned her little head on Ian's other hand, looking as if she wanted him to touch her like he did to Shuten-doji.

Of course, Ian understood her little thoughts, so he quickly followed her lead.

"Well... I actually felt something." Ibaraki Douji shared his information with his eyes narrowed while enjoying Ian's caress.

"She...seems like she wants to go somewhere."

"..."

Ian pondered for a moment, then continued.

"Did she say anything before this—like the purpose of her coming here?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Shuten-doji nodded repeatedly, looking as if he was afraid that he could not help Ian.

"She said she was here to rescue the patient, right? Ibaraki, right?!"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with what you said."

"..."

Ian was silent again.

Seeing the man he had always admired become like this, Shuten-doji naturally felt uneasy.

She quietly leaned over to her good friend Ibaraki Douji and whispered softly.

"Ibaraki... Uncle, don't you think we're really useless?"

"Can't even keep an eye on a cow."

"..."

"No," Ibaraki Douji said without hesitation, "Shuten, it's absolutely impossible for Lord Abe to think that we are useless. After all, even when we were useless, he was still taking good care of us, wasn't he?"

"He even helped reconnect your head."

"Eh……"

Shuten-doji subconsciously touched her neck - there was still a trace of Ian "picking" her head back.

Then, she felt a little uneasy about her suspicion of Ian.

"That's right...why would we doubt the uncle?"

"Well, no matter who you suspect, you must never suspect Abe-sama."

Just as the two female ghosts were whispering to each other, Ian suddenly bent down and picked them up, one on each side.

Then, he turned around and said seriously to everyone present:

"Everyone, I have to go out for a while."

"Can you... wait for me here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene naturally became lively again.

"no!"

The first one to get anxious was Mordred, who reacted the fastest.

"Master...in a few hours, the singularity here will be destroyed!"

"Where are you going now?!"

"It's a very important place, Mordred." Ian replied very calmly, "If I don't go, I will definitely not regret it for the rest of my life."

"This……"

Mordred was speechless for a moment.

After all, this level of situation cannot be easily persuaded.

"Then Yu and the others can't go with them?" Nero quickly continued, "Wouldn't that be too strange?"

"I have my plans."

"Nero, trust me, okay?"

"..."

Nero was also speechless.

Although she often became somewhat indulgent due to her status as Roman emperor, it did not mean that everything had to be in accordance with her wishes.

"..."

"Are you sure you can come back?" Scathach asked a completely different question from the previous two.

"Yes—Scathach, believe me."

"is it?"

"I understand."

Scathach responded to her husband and then walked towards the car donated by Edison.

There was a snap.

She opened the car door and spoke to the others.

"I'm a little tired now - please call me when he comes back."

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Scathach wasn't tired at all.

She did this just to announce to the others present in a relatively decent way that she unconditionally supports Ian's actions.

Tamamonomae, who understood this the fastest, smiled and then took Helena's hand beside her.

"It seems the Master has made up his mind to leave."

"Helena, could you please write another letter to the president at this time?"

"Repair a letter?"

"Hmm... I mean to inform him—after all, this is still a time when the kingdom is falling apart, and necessary comfort must be provided."

"..."

"I understand!"

then--

Helena and Tamamonomae came to another place and had a final farewell "repair".

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu looked at each other and nodded.

"Then Ian—"

"Go early and return early."

"Senior, go early and come back early."

"Well, I will."

After getting Ian's promise, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu also got into the car.

Even through the glass, the man could sense the nervousness of both of them - they probably mustered up the courage to say what they had just said.

"Master."

Gareth came up to Ian.

"Is it really okay?"

"..."

Facing his daughter's worried look, Ian smiled.

"Master, what are you laughing at?" Gareth asked in confusion.

"nothing."

"I just feel your concern. Gareth, you have become much more mature."
