"Eh?"

"How did you know? As far as I can remember, you two have never met each other?"

Shuten-doji did remember it correctly.

When the Demon-hunting Army first stepped into Mt. Oe, she used her control over the entire mountain to separate Ian and Minamoto no Raikou from the others.

While he was dealing with them, Ibaraki Doji on the other side was facing off against the Four Heavenly Kings Yorimitsu.

The status of the others is unknown.

But Ian certainly hadn't seen her.

"..."

Shuten-doji's reaction proved that Ian was right.

He hesitated for a while and said:

"Shuten, actually..."

[You told Shuten-doji about your ability to draw the appearance of ghosts out of thin air.]

[She looked very surprised.]

[Because this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. ]

Although he already knew that Ian in front of him was not a normal person, Shuten-doji was still very surprised at this moment.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Can you tell what a ghost looks like out of thin air?"

"But I have already proved this, haven't I?" Ian said this as he looked at Shuten-doji in front of him.

"..."

Shuten-doji knew that there was no need for the man in front of him to deceive him.

After all, we all came to Onigashima together.

She really couldn't think of any reason for Ian to panic.

"What on earth are you..."

Shuten-doji looked up and down at the great Onmyoji in front of him.

"It's like a painting."

"Why wouldn't I want to know?"

Ian's eyes swept across the scenery on Ghost Island.

"After all, if you can figure out what I am, you can help Raikou better."

"..."

Shuten-doji curled his lips.

"You really miss her."

"Isn't that natural?"

"You are a couple, right?"

Shuten-doji reached out to stop Ian.

"I've heard enough of that."

"Let's take a quick look at this island."

[You and Shuten-doji conducted a survey of the nearby area.]

[You have received a lot of information.]

【You begin to analyze.】

"I feel like the atmosphere here is not right!"

Shuten-doji said this while looking at the road beside him.

"There's an inexplicable sense of familiarity!"

"A sense of familiarity..."

Ian repeated the word uttered by Shuten-doji.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

“Does it feel like a certain place?”

"Yes!" Shuten-doji nodded, "It does look like a certain place!"

"..."

"Is this Heian-kyō?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's Heian-kyō!"

"Eh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shuten-doji suddenly realized that this seemed to be a very serious problem.

Although there are no buildings like those in Heian-kyo, nor are there roads like those in Heian-kyo.

But as far as the areas the two are currently involved in are concerned, the distribution of mountains and rivers alone is already very similar to the layout of Kyoto.

So--

Here comes the problem.

Why does an island 180,000 miles away from Heian-kyo have such a layout?

Shuten-doji couldn't understand such a thing.

But her instinct told her that this was definitely not something to be thankful for.

"Why is this happening?"

Shuten-doji looked at Ian beside him and asked.

"What the hell is going on with this place?"

"I'm not sure." The Great Onmyoji shook his head.

"But Shuten, it seems that the existence called 'Ugly Gozen' may have more than a little understanding of Raikou."

Ian wasn't just guessing.

Whether it is using ghosts to harass Heian-kyo or the layout of Onigashima.

He could feel a strong sense of familiarity.

It was as if the person he was facing was really Minamoto no Raikou.

Is this an imitation?

Or something else?

Ian had trouble judging.

Just when Shuten-doji wanted to say something more, the horns on her head suddenly lit up.

The petite female ghost subconsciously looked towards one side of the island.

next moment.

A huge red ghost broke through the jungle, let out a terrifying cry, and then stomped madly in pursuit.

And the target it pursues is something in front of it.

He has yellow hair and yellow eyes, a petite figure, and a pair of red horns on his head.

There is no mistake, that is -

"Ibaraki!"

Shuten-doji shouted out.

From his anxious look, you can tell that this is Ibaraki Douji.

Urgent situation.

Ian pondered for a moment, then reached out his hand towards Shuten-doji's head.

[Shuten-doji's blessing has been activated: You temporarily return the power to Shuten-doji. ]

She felt it.

"you?"

Shuten-doji looked at the man beside him, opened his mouth slightly, and seemed very surprised.

"Why would you..."

"Don't you want to save face?" Ian asked back, "Don't you want to show yourself in this situation?"

"..."

Shuten Doji did not expect that Ian really took his words seriously.

But she wouldn't miss the kindness.

Red began to appear in Shuten-doji's purple eyes, and waves of heat began to rise from her body.

"Okay, we'll be back soon!"

After saying this, Shuten-doji, with his demonic nature fully activated, stepped on the ground of Onigashima and rushed towards the giant red demon.

Looking at her like this, a word inexplicably emerged in Ian's mind.

"Release the magic power."

The activated Shuten-doji is emitting "magic power" continuously.

This magic power manifests itself in two forms: "fire" and "heat".

This is the truth that allows Shuten-doji to ignite.

but--

How did he block the "magic power"?

Ian feels more and more that he has a big "problem".

the other side.

The enraged Shuten-douji rushed to Ibaraki-douji at an unimaginable speed.

From a system perspective, I'm afraid there would have to be a hundred of her to barely be the same size as the red ghost in front of me.

However, the outcome of a battle between ghosts and monsters is never determined by size.

"Shuten?!"

Amid Ibaraki-douji's surprised cry, Shuten-douji leaped into the air.

A clear aroma of wine emanated from her body, followed by a gathering of heat and flames.

"You dare to attack Ibaraki!"

"Just let us sleep here!"

The petite female ghost hit the huge red ghost on the head with her fist.

This should look like a situation where an ant is trying to shake a tree, but in reality it is not the case.

I saw red flames blooming on the red ghost's head, followed by a devastating bombardment.

This is a flaming fist.

When the noise had dispersed, the huge monster was completely unrecognizable. It then staggered for a while, and finally fell to the ground with a dull sound.

[Shuten-douji saved Ibaraki-douji. 】

[You are back together.]
