The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"But Master——"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him with gratitude.

"It is a great honor for me to be recognized by you."

"This at least means my efforts weren't in vain!"

"……maybe."

Ian glanced out the window, his expression growing heavier.

"Well, as agreed—"

"Starting tonight, I will teach you the art of killing ghosts."

"Raikou, this is a matter of life and death. You must not let down your guard at all. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Minamoto no Raikou responded to Ian with an extremely serious attitude.

"I'll remember every step!"

"Okay, I feel more at ease with you doing this."

"Come with me."

[You took Minamoto no Raikou, who was marked with a seal, out of the house. ]

[You and she arrived at the village road.]

[The talent of Worry has been replaced with Onmyoji's Guidance: You decided to show Minamoto no Raikou the essence of exorcism tonight. ]

[Of course, you are no longer trying to make her give up this idea, but you want her to realize the potential danger in advance. ]

【You swore that you would keep her safe.】

"Yakou."

"Yes, Master."

"Since you are planning to embark on the journey of exorcising demons--"

Ian looked at the plump apprentice beside him.

"You should have understood this aspect in advance, right?"

"Yes." Minamoto no Raikou nodded, "I'm not the kind of person who makes decisions on impulse."

"Well, tell me what you think of killing ghosts."

Ian looked at the other man.

"I wonder what you think of it."

"it is good."

Minamoto no Raikou was not afraid to express his thoughts in front of Ian.

"There are many evil and enchanting things in the world. When one's thoughts are deep, they will take shape and appear in the world."

“This is often accompanied by many dangers, so it must be eliminated when it appears, so as to avoid the breeding of sins and the resulting irreparable losses.”

"This action is consistent with my desire to gain fame and revive the Genji clan, so killing the demon is beneficial to me."

The underlying logic of the essence is unified and correct.

Minamoto no Raikou was convinced that such thoughts could make him extremely determined.

but--

After hearing what she said, Ian did not look at her approvingly.

Instead, he fell silent.

After a while, the great Yin-Yang master spoke again:

"So, Raikou, you just watch ghosts exorcise ghosts, right?"

"Eh?"

Although he felt that Ian's question was somewhat strange, Minamoto no Raikou still nodded very seriously.

"Yes, Master."

"See the ghost, then you can kill it."

“Isn’t this quite normal?”

"Yes, you are right."

Ian's eyes fell on Minamoto no Raikou.

"But Raikou, you missed the last and most important step."

"The last and most important step?"

Minamoto no Raikou blinked, obviously she couldn't figure out what this meant.

But Ian was not vague and explained directly.

"Yes."

"That's 'After Killing Ghosts'."

"You know that ghosts are created when evil thoughts run deep, which is good."

"But you also overlooked the meaning of the concept of 'birth' - the ghost is the product, and the thought is the source."

"Ghosts are the product, and thoughts are the source?"

Muttering what Ian said, Minamoto no Raikou began to think seriously.

Soon, she had an inspiration.

"Master, what you mean is that it is not enough to just kill the ghosts, we have to find out why the ghosts appear, is that what you mean?"

Hearing the answer he wanted, Ian smiled with satisfaction.

"Lai Guang, you are really smart."

"Yes, killing ghosts is just the beginning. How to prevent ghosts from haunting this world is what we really need to consider."

"And a hundred ghosts have a thousand appearances. How to find the matching resentment among them is often the most troublesome thing for Onmyojis."

"If you are not careful, you may lose your life."

[Your words made Minamoto no Raikou fall into deep thought. ]

【She has a deeper understanding of your previous warning. 】

[Killing ghosts is like being entangled in a knot. If you swing the scissors in the wrong place, the result will be death-like suffocation.]

You realize that this might sway her.

【But that was not the case.】

"understood."

Minamoto no Raikou grasped the blade at his waist.

"So Master, are you going to show me how to do this now?"

Ian was somewhat surprised at how quickly Minamoto no Raikou adjusted himself.

But at the same time, I also feel comforted by this - this is a rare mentality.

"Well, that's about it."

"I thought I told you to do something for this village before you left with me."

"Yes, you said that."

"So--"

Ian stared at the waxing and waning of the moon.

"It's almost time."

Just as the Great Onmyoji finished speaking, a voice came from a distance.

It was the clear and miserable cry of a child.

In this quiet night, it is so clearly discernible that it makes people feel creepy when they hear it.

"Whose child is crying?" Minamoto no Raikou couldn't help but ask.

But as soon as she said this, she noticed Ian's expression.

His expression was solemn and serious, totally unlike the look one would have when hearing a child crying.

In less than a second, Minamoto no Raikou reacted - this was the voice that Ian wanted him to hear.

She leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Master, did you encounter a ghost?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"That's why I've been staying here lately."

"Because Kawai Akako is nearby, if we don't deal with him, he will bring disaster to the village."

"Kawa Akako?"

Knowing that Minamoto no Raikou had just gotten started in this area, Ian explained further.

"Kawa Akako is a ghost that makes crying sounds."

"The reason for its existence is that a child once drowned in the river nearby,"

"It didn't realize that it had been dead for a long time - it simply thought that it had been abandoned by its companions, so it cried like this."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes widened.

Obviously, this was the first time she heard of such a thing.

"Master, how did you know that?"

"It's a bit strange to say, and I don't know why I know all this."

Ian looked toward the empty road.

“But when that voice sounded, I already knew this.”

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou obviously found this a little unbelievable, but the current situation did not allow her to doubt him.

"Then Master——"

"What are you going to do next?"

"It's very simple."

Ian raised his hand.

"Now that we know how it was created, we just need to think about how to deal with it."

"'It was born in the river, so it must be hidden in the river', and its cry was so clear, which meant it must be nearby."

"So--"

"As long as all the rivers around here are gathered together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minamoto no Raikou saw an unbelievable scene.

The sound of rushing water began to be heard in the quiet night sky.

Clear river water flowed in from all directions and gathered in the sky above Ian.

They are clearly moving, but because they form a cycle they appear to be still.

The flying water droplets stayed above the Great Onmyoji, it was a scene like a miracle.

"There is no place for it to be resurrected, right?"
