The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Ian looked at her in front of him and praised her generously.

"but--"

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"Husband, you don't need to use such a cautious tone." Minamoto norimitsu responded gently, "I am your wife, and answering your questions is a matter of course."

"That--"

Ian looked directly at Minamoto no Raikou in front of him.

"Madam, are ghosts still prevalent in Heian-kyō now?"

He did not think of this question by accident.

When he returned from the dying place, Ian felt that the era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons did not end with the death of Shuten-doji.

On the contrary, the entire Heian-kyō seemed to become even more noisy.

This is not a good thing.

Ian had a bad feeling.

This feeling soon became reality.

Minamoto no Raikou hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Yes, sir."

"The scene of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has not disappeared, and..."

"And what?" Ian demanded.

"Ma'am, there is no need to hold back in front of me."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him, smiled and nodded.

"Yes, you are right, sir."

"I... feel that these new ghosts are very purposeful."

"A strong purpose?"

"Yes." Minamoto nods again.

"It seems that they are here to destroy Heian-kyō."

“This is a more aggressive action than last time.”

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Madam, during the time I was unconscious, nothing serious happened in the capital, right?"

"Not really."

Minamoto no Raikou smiled with relief.

"Tsuna and the others have been working very hard to share my responsibilities."

“So even though the ghosts are coming in force, we can actually still maintain the same scene as before.”

"That's great."

As the two were chatting, a voice came from outside.

"Miss, the time has come. You should go to court."

The servant outside the door naturally had no way of knowing that Ian had woken up.

and so--

This is to remind Minamoto no Raikou not to forget the time "insurance" because of worrying about Ian.

"..."

Hearing the call from outside, Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian with reluctance in his eyes.

However, the latter was quite generous and reached out his hand to comfort her:

"Ma'am, business is more important."

"The master is gone, and Genji can only rely on you to maintain it now."

"If the important work is delayed because of me, I will become a sinner of the Genji."

"..."

"My husband is right."

Minamoto no Raikou leaned forward a little and gently left a kiss on Ian's face.

"Husband, if there is any problem, please send someone to call me first."

"And...I will tell the others the good news that you woke up."

"Well, I see."

[You are the only one left in the room. ]

[In fact, if possible, you also hope to stay with Minamoto no Raikou for a while longer. ]

[But you know that you have more important things to do than this kind of beautiful tenderness. ]

[The blessing of the gifted Shuten-doji has been activated: You have released the Shuten-doji that was locked in your consciousness. ]

【You have something to ask her. 】

"Eh?"

After being released, Shuten-doji was still in shock for a while.

She rubbed her head with her hands several times before she realized what was happening.

"We're out?!"

"Uncle~ You really are a good guy! You can't bear to see me trapped in your head!"

"Shuten-doji, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Ian looked at the petite girl in front of him with a serious expression.

"I didn't call you out because I'm so nice."

"But——"

"I want to ask you a question."

"..."

Shuten-doji turned his head away, looking a little displeased.

She murmured softly:

"This tone is too unpleasant. I am not your subordinate."

"first question."

"So you're not listening to us at all?!"

"Yes."

Ian looked straight at Shuten-doji, who had been deprived of all his power.

"You should know that you don't have any right to make any choice now."

"and--"

"If you want to find out what I am, shouldn't you do your best to help me?"

"..."

Ian's words caused Shuten-doji to fall silent.

Finally, she nodded.

"Okay, we got it."

"But let me make this clear first—"

"I am just the ghost king of Dajiang Mountain, not a god who knows everything about heaven and earth."

"I may not be able to answer the questions you asked!"

Ian nodded.

"I know."

"I'm not saying you have to answer all the questions - but at least, you have to be honest."

"Alright, alright." Shuten-doji raised his hand, "There's no need to say these words."

"Just ask."

"Well."

Shuten-doji is not confused, and neither is Ian.

"After you die, ghosts will still appear in Heian-kyō... Is this your men avenging you?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Ian's words, Shuten-doji seemed a little surprised.

"Are there any more ghosts appearing?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "And it's even more powerful than before."

"I wonder if this is something your men did?"

"This one……"

Listening to Ian's words, Shuten-doji fell into deep thought.

She shook her head and replied:

“Then I think it’s unlikely.”

"why?"

"because--"

Shuten-doji scratched his face, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Although we were constantly sending people to Heian-kyō at that time."

"But if we really die, I don't think they will dare to continue doing this kind of thing."

"after all."

Shuten-doji supported himself with both hands.

"I am the ghost king of Dajiang Mountain."

"If even the Ghost King is killed, even if there are still ghosts under our command who want to cause trouble, I'm afraid they won't have the courage to do so."

"Ah."

Ian suddenly found it funny.

"Even though you were defeated, why do I feel like you seem a little proud?"

"Even if you're defeated, you still get points!"

Shuten-doji argued unconvincedly.

"If I were defeated by an ordinary person, I certainly wouldn't say there's anything worth showing off."

"Can--"

"I was able to make that busty woman burst out with such strength, and I was only defeated by a surprise attack. I am considered to be quite capable, right?"

[You don't deny Shuten-doji's words.]

[Although your memory is a little fuzzy, you can still vaguely recall what the origin Raikou looked like at that time. ]

[Are you sure that is definitely not an ability she can use normally? ]
