"Add to that the ability to control ghosts - that's what I call dangerous."

"Wait a moment!"

Shuten-doji reached out and stopped Ian.

"Then how did this thing appear? You have confused me."

[You are silent. 】

[You looked at Shuten-doji in front of you and hesitated for a long time. ]

【You decide to talk to her more. 】

[You repeated to her what Yuan Manzhong had said to you.]

【Shuten-doji was very surprised by this.】

The expression of the Ghost King of Oeyama at this moment seemed very surprised.

"That cow actually carried something like this?"

"I never thought this would happen."

"Actually, the more dangerous thing is something else."

Ian looked at the petite female ghost in front of him, his expression appearing much more serious than before.

"What's the matter?" Shuten-doji asked.

"Well... now that it can be confirmed that it was not done by the ghosts of Mount Oe, it is actually happening right now."

"So--"

Ian looked at Shuten-doji in front of him.

"Perhaps there is some connection between it and the power used by Raikou."

Shuten-doji was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.

"You mean, because Minamoto no Raikou used that power to kill me, that led to the birth of 'that existence'?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "I think that's probably the case."

The outline of the story is clear.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons disturbed Heian-kyo, which led to the attack on Mount Oe.

During this expedition, Minamoto no Raikou used that power because he was eager to rescue his husband from Shuten-doji's sea of ​​fire.

Next——

This is the situation now.

obviously.

The power in Minamoto no Raikou is not as simple as imagined.

"Hey!"

Shuten-doji became a little anxious.

"If you say so, then aren't all the problems our fault?"

"I have done bad things! But not all bad things were done by me!"

"That's not what I meant." Ian responded.

"Besides, if I really want to talk about it——"

"If I could have knocked you down, Raikou wouldn't have used that power, right?"

"is my problem."

"Eh?" Shuten-doji was stunned for a moment, then replied, "It's because I'm too good!"

"Shuten-doji, you are wrong. I am too weak."

"No, it's us!"

Shuten-doji gulped down the bottle of wine that Ian gave him, and became a little bolder.

"This is because we are too strong!"

"..."

Ian smiled.

There was no further discussion on the question of who was stronger and who was weaker.

"Well, there's no point in saying this now."

"In the next period of time, I hope you can continue to help me figure these things out."

I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much or for some other reason.

Shuten-doji's face was already very red.

"You don't have to tell me, I can do it too."

"Of course, the premise is that there is enough wine!"

"You can drink as much as you want if you can help."

【Minamoto no Raikou is already very busy. 】

【So you choose to handle these things yourself in secret. 】

[You and Shuten-doji begin further investigation in Heian-kyō.]

[You find that this Oeyama Ghost King is not as difficult to get along with as you imagined. He is just being stubborn.]

【However, this did not help your investigation in any way. 】

【Until this day.】

【A letter arrived at Genji's residence. 】

[It seems to come from a place called "Ghost Island." ]

130. Letter from Ugly Gozen from Onigashima (-word chapter)

[This is a letter that was delivered directly to Genji's residence.]

【Perhaps it should not have been handed over to you.】

[But when you look at this letter, you feel like you have to open it. ]

You opened it.

The contents of the envelope were simple.

It could even be said that it was somewhat beyond Ian's expectations.

"Please ask 'me' to come to Ghost Island."

"——Chou Yu Qian Ginseng."

Apart from these two purposeful sentences, the rest is narrative content, all of which are instructions on how to reach Onigashima.

Although the content that requires careful understanding is very brief.

But Ian could feel that it was not as simple as it seemed.

First, the unknown ghost island.

This was a place name Ian had never heard of in Heian-kyo.

But the person who wrote the letter was able to clearly explain how to get to this place and the various things that need to be paid attention to along the way.

If this can be done, there are only two possibilities.

Either it is already on the island, or it has visited this place many times.

But no matter which one it is, you will find that it is not that simple when you think about it.

Second, the name used in the envelope.

This letter does not use the word "you" in a respectful sense, nor does it use the word "you" in a general sense.

Instead, a very special "I" was used.

The signature was "Ugly Gozen", a name that was almost unheard of before.

Ian couldn't understand the meaning of calling it that.

But he could feel that there was a huge secret hidden behind this name.

and so--

This may be a letter that carries some risk.

Looking at it, Ian couldn't help but frown.

And right now.

Minamoto no Raikou's voice came from outside the door.

"Husband, it's time to take your medicine."

"Although your body has almost recovered, you still have to continue to take care of yourself."

After hearing these words, Ian hid the letter, which was sent by an unknown person, in his sleeve, and then turned around and responded to Origin Raikou.

"Well, I see."

【You drink the medicine that Minamoto no Raikou prepared for you. 】

【You did not tell her about the mysterious envelope during this process. 】

[You and her were a little affectionate for a while.]

[She had some government affairs to attend to, so she left quickly.]

Ian was alone in the room once again.

His hands flickered slightly.

That is some kind of Onmyoji's technique.

then--

Shuten-doji was summoned out as the light flashed.

"Eh?"

"Are you calling me out now?" Shuten-doji yawned loudly, "It's not usually at this time, right?"

Ian and Shuten-doji's investigation has been going on for more than a year.

Although it was almost nothing.

But the Great Onmyoji also discovered that this seemingly nonchalant and even a little frivolous Demon King of Oeyama was actually very serious when it came to doing things.

So Ian's relationship with her has become much more relaxed than before.

"Of course there is something."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have called you out like this."

Having said this, Ian took out the envelope he had just hidden in his sleeve and placed it on the tatami between him and Shuten-doji.

"this?"

Shuten-doji was a little confused.

"Why are you showing us this?"

"This isn't a letter to us, is it?"

"You take a look first and then talk."

"..."

Although he still had many doubts in his heart, when he heard Ian say this, Shuten-doji knew that he had no room for rebuttal.

She picked up the letter on the tatami and looked at it carefully.
