The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"No! This is not okay! Grandma said it's shameful to waste things!"

Sakata Kintoki said this as he took the weapon from Ian.

It was obviously a very thick weapon, but in his hand it was as light as a bamboo pole and could even be turned.

Looking at this scene, Ian knew that this was a very successful decision.

【Sakata Kintoki is very happy to receive the weapon from you. 】

[He often appears on the streets of Kyoto swinging a hatchet. ]

[People were initially very afraid of the big guy holding such a weapon, and immediately chose to avoid him when they saw him.]

[But later, they discovered that this ghost-like giant was not as scary as it looked.]

[After all, he always smiles foolishly, and he doesn't mind if others glare at him.]

[This perception quickly turned into praise after he defeated a gangster.]

[Everyone knows that Genji has such a good adopted son - he just looks fierce, but his heart is very kind. ]

【However, Sakata Kintoki was not aware of these things. 】

[He is still doing what he thinks he should do, just like before.]

[These circumstances soon reached the ears of Usui Sadamisu and Ubube Suketake.]

[They became a little worried.]

"Father."

"Are we really going to let Kintoki continue like this?" Usui Sadamitsu looked worried. "I think something might go wrong one day!"

"Yes, godfather."

Bubu Jiwu also started talking to his sworn brother.

"You also made him a weapon like that. If he gets angry one day, what should we do with him?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a while, then answered with a faint smile:

"Zhengguang, Jiwu."

"I know what you are worried about and why you are worried."

"But judging from his recent performance, Jinshi is definitely a brother you can be proud of. Isn't that right?"

"In that case—"

"Shouldn't you trust him a little more?"

"..."

Usui Sadamitsu rarely opposed his adoptive father.

But this time, he couldn't help but speak.

"Godfather, what you said may make sense."

"But Jintoki is something that appears together with the ghost, right? Didn't you say that this is a very dangerous situation?"

Ian smiled calmly.

"Sadamitsu, it's great that you remember what I said."

"but--"

"I think I need to correct you."

“Things that appear with ghosts are not necessarily the same as ghosts.”

"It's like a haunted house. Can you say the house itself is the ghost?"

"It's the same situation with Kintoki - he's not a ghost, you shouldn't treat him the same way you would treat a ghost."

"Besides, I think you have all witnessed his performance, right?"

As if it were destined.

After Ian finished saying this, Sakata Kintoki ran in with a plate of cookies.

Seeing his two sworn brothers, he felt a little scared and nervous.

But soon, the big guy wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, then picked up two cookies and stretched them towards Usui Sadamitsu and Ubube Susumu in front of him.

He chuckled.

"It's sweet! Eat some!"

"It's delicious! I've eaten it before!"

"Brothers, try it!"

"..."

Looking at Sakata Kintoki who was humbly trying to please him and his brother-in-law beside him, Usui Sadamitsu suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He hesitated for a while, and finally took the cookie with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Jintoki..."

Bu Bu Jiwu pondered for a moment and took the cookie.

"Um...thank you."

Looking at this scene, Ian knew that these two people could finally accept Sakata Kintoki.

[You and Minamoto no Raikou covered up the past mistakes of Usui Sadamitsu.]

【The four of them became very good brothers.】

[The taciturn elder brother Watanabe Tsuna is good at using Higekiri, and his sword can cut through raw iron. ]

[The hard-working second brother Usui Sadamitsu deeply understands the meaning of slaying demons and has gained a lot of fame. ]

[The talkative third brother, Ubu Suketake, was good at writing elegant poems and left behind several Japanese poems.]

[The strong fourth brother Sakata Kintoki can swing a huge axe, which makes people feel cold. ]

[They were originally talents cultivated by Genji, so they were naturally placed in various key positions. ]

【Then there were numerous military exploits. 】

[The people of Heian-kyō called them the "Four Heavenly Kings of Genji." ]

[Those who know more about them call them "The Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou", meaning the four most capable generals under her.]

[The gifted father of the Four Heavenly Kings has been obtained: As the foster father of these four people, you have a very high status in Heian-kyō. ]

【But you haven't forgotten what you are going to do. 】

"Madam, the three-year period has expired."

"I think it's time to send troops to Dajiangshan."

"Well, I've been waiting for you to say this -"

Minamoto no Raikou wiped the famous sword Kneemaru in his hand, and his purple eyes revealed a bit of sharpness.

"It's been a long time since I killed ghosts with my husband."

"Ma'am, you mean to..."

"Yes, my husband, I will personally lead the troops to the expedition to Dajiang Mountain."

[You have once again embarked on the journey of killing ghosts. ]

【But this time, there are no longer just two of you. 】

[You lead the four heavenly kings you have trained and the foot soldiers assigned to you by Minamoto no Mitsunari, and set out towards Mount Oe.]

[You hurriedly traveled for several days and arrived at the pass of Mount Oe.]

[But you realize that this journey of slaying demons will not be easy. ]

[Because even at the mountain pass, you can feel the presence of ghosts. ]

[Oeyama has become a gathering place for ghosts! ]

125. The dangerous Oeyama under the control of Shuten-doji! (-word chapter)

Ghosts are born from various kinds of "thoughts".

And this kind of "thought" will obviously affect the surrounding environment where it exists.

For example, where there is a "wood spirit", the surrounding area will be filled with a faint fragrance emitted by the spirituality of the trees.

In a house like the one where the "Mingwu" is parasitic, people can hear the creaking sound of wooden boards when they walk in it.

In a sense, "thoughts" can be regarded as giving a special quality to the place where you are.

If a person is a powerful Onmyoji, he will be able to detect this abnormality at a glance.

And the Oeyama in front of us——

Ian's expression turned serious as he landed on the dark and deep mountain pass.

Not only are there countless "thoughts" intertwined here, even the mountain itself is in a state of being surrounded by many thoughts.

Rather than calling it by its own name.

It would be more appropriate to describe it as "ghost mountain".

In this environment, the abilities of the monsters themselves would probably be greatly activated, and each one would most likely be several times stronger than before.

Minamoto Raikou, who was standing by, quickly noticed Ian's abnormality and asked directly:

"Husband."

"From the looks of you, it seems this place is much more dangerous than you imagined?"

"Yes."

Ian didn't try to hide anything.

"Madam, I'm afraid we have to ask them to prepare in advance."

"I understand."

The cooperation between husband and wife has always been simple and clear.

Minamoto no Raikou turned around and said to the four adopted sons behind him in an imperative tone:

"Tsuna, Sadamichi, Jiwu, and Kintoki."

"According to my previous instructions, take action immediately."

"Yes!"

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: The spells you prepared for all the Demon Blades begin to take effect. ]

[This is the most basic spell to control ghosts.]

[It does not kill the ghosts directly - but tells them that there is a powerful Yin Yang Master watching all this. ]

[In this way, the sensible monsters will naturally not dare to act rashly. ]

[Ghosts that are unaware of this are relatively easier to deal with. 】

[This is something you prepared specifically for this journey. ]

【But you know that this is far from enough. 】

[It is impossible that Shuten-doji does not have a way to deal with this kind of magic. 】

[And your premonition soon became a reality. ]

It's getting foggy.

The mountain was clear just now, but now a thick fog has appeared for no reason.

Even without dismounting to confirm, Ian knew that the fog was definitely caused by Shuten-doji.

Fortunately, he and Minamoto no Raikou always remained close.
