Type Moon World, this moon is really wild

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You'd better kneel down obediently."

With Ibuki's contract in place, Kagerin knows exactly what Shuten-dōji is planning.

He had never done anything so abstract before.

However, since that's what you're thinking, then let you experience it for yourself.

"Waaaaah...?"

Despite being treated this way as he had expected, Shuten-dōji did not feel ashamed as he had imagined. On the contrary, he began to enjoy the feeling.

Even though his body had gained a lot of magical power that he didn't know when he would be able to digest, Shuten-dōji still greedily demanded it.

She wants to become stronger.

Until you surpass another version of yourself.

Whether this is an excuse to conceal one's desires or a way to fully display the instincts of the "dragon" remains to be seen.

I can't tell the difference anymore.

"Um... Master~ You, you?"

Shuten-dōji has temporarily lost the ability to speak.

High in the distant sky, Izanami looked hesitantly toward Kagerin's room.

Although she didn't know what had happened inside, she was still able to guess part of the truth from Minamoto no Yorimitsu's mutterings.

In particular, the scene she saw not long ago!

"Wasn't the Nine-Tailed Fox seriously injured? Why is she recovering so quickly? I even feel like she has surpassed her peak."

Driven by intense curiosity, Izanami's mind was once again filled with images of the boy and the nine-tailed fox, and she couldn't help but cover her face.

They say they'll forget everything, but that's impossible.

"No, why would I be curious about something like that? Humph!"

Izanami, who seemed to grow younger with each passing year, was annoyed. She was clearly the first deity to arrive here, so she simply refused to look at Kagerin.

They're definitely doing something bad!

To have a child, one must at least do what she did: combine energy with Gaia's divine power to create a new life!

You disrespect Mother Earth for how she created the gods.

guilty!

……

Shuten-dōji's attempt to subdue Kagerin with his charm ultimately failed.

Even the methods meant for teenagers were used on her.

Shuten-dōji was so angry...

He got angry for a moment, and then it was over.

Fortunately, although it was a complete failure.

But there is also a side that is a complete victory.

Shuten and Ibuki share the same attitude towards Yinglin, both liking this strong and powerful boy who is completely different from his cute and handsome appearance.

To put it aptly, it is—

When discussing strength.

"Ibuki!"

"Shuten-dōji!"

Their eyes gleamed with a fierce light, so menacing that they could almost completely conceal their good looks, causing countless children to linger in the night.

When discussing Yinglin.

"Thank you... Ibuki."

Ibuki smiled with genuine joy, finally able to reconcile with Shuten-dōji.

Because if Shuten-dōji really couldn't hold on any longer, he would silently chant in his mind.

(It's up to you now, my other self!)

So does she.

Once he regained consciousness, Shuten-dōji still had a finger between his lips, as if he were savoring something.

"Oh, Dad? I... I'm really going to break down."

Ying Lin, who was helping her wash, turned pale and hit that spot again.

"Don't say things like that!"

"But I can't resist. This isn't outside, so please let me indulge myself a little."

Shuten raised his eyes, which were still wet with tears, and two faint tear tracks could be seen. He looked pitiful, just like a fragile child who desperately needed someone to take care of him.

"Forget it, everyone else would love to be my mother, why is it different with you?"

Yinglin couldn't be bothered with that brat Shuten-dōji; she might have just said that on purpose.

No, she must be enjoying it!

Evil Shuten-dōji, you win.

Seeing Yinglin like this, Shuten secretly made a peace sign.

She won this time!

Besides food, she finally found a more joyful and hopeful way to live.

I'm already completely addicted.

"Lin, do you think that if Tamamo-no-Mae wakes up and sees us like this, she will be very angry and leave you in a fit of rage?"

Shuten-dōji spoke with apparent concern, but his eyes were filled with pleasure, and the smile on his lips looked deliberate.

"Get out of here, you don't need to worry about this."

After being slapped, she indeed stopped her madness and replied weakly.

"Waaaaah, so violent..."

She abruptly changed the subject, a delighted smile spreading across her delicate face as she glanced meaningfully at the fox girl who seemed to have once raised her golden tail.

"However, who can blame me for being your sweet little cotton-padded jacket, like an irresistible little devil, forever by your side."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Battleground?

"What the hell are you talking about, you little brat?!"

Sure enough, Tamamo-no-Mae had already woken up. Unlike her sleeping husband, she couldn't possibly have closed her eyes and fallen asleep without reacting to any noise around her.

At that moment, realizing that he had messed up, Shuten-dōji quickly raised his hands and looked in horror at the fox-tailed girl who was rushing towards him. He slapped her to the ground.

"No, no, I was wrong!"

The menacing Tamamo-no-Mae was almost ready to kill her on the spot.

Someone who enjoys sowing discord should be taught a harsh lesson.

Go to hell and wait until I'm in a better mood to pull you out.

"Alright, that's enough for this idiot. I'll tell you how to teach her a lesson later."

Yinglin walked behind Tamamo-no-Mae, grabbed the fox who wasn't resisting much, and then threw Shuten-dōji, who was looking at him pitifully, onto his side.

Unmoved.

Shuten-dōji was completely dumbfounded; this was nothing like what she had expected.

Why is it that even though I've tried so hard, I still haven't won him over?!

Could it be that the plan went wrong?

No, that's not right.

Just you wait, I will definitely beat you, and fill Yinglin's heart with my image.

Then you'll all be envious!

"Humph."

Tamamo-no-Mae tacitly agreed, but still didn't say much. She pouted, looking unhappy and in need of comfort.

"This time it was my fault, I acted impulsively."

He had thought that Tamamo-no-Mae would say more, but to his surprise, she just sighed softly, snuggled into his arms, and said...

“It’s alright, we expected this, unless you’re going to tell me… that all your skills are self-taught.”

Even the most experienced person will make some mistakes in actual combat.

However, Yinglin did not have this problem.

She was so skilled that Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't handle it, and she had been mentally prepared for it for a long time.

I never expected it to be revealed in this way.

"Thank you for understanding me."

"But I'm still annoyed. That wretched brat is actually questioning my character! I'm your little darling wife!"

Tamamo-no-Mae said fiercely, clearly very angry.

"We'll teach Shuten a lesson later, otherwise she'll become unruly."

Yinglin agrees with this point, given her personality that's always on the path of courting death.

Unsurprisingly, she will be hated by everyone.

"Hmm..." Tamamo-no-Mae raised her little hand, looking somewhat eager, and then she heard something that made her both laugh and cry.

"Aren't you angry about what I did to Shuten-dōji?"

This was the first time Ying Lin had encountered a real harem crisis, and he asked with concern.

"Ah... Instead of asking about that, you should ask how we recovered."

"Too."

"How could we forget to repay your kindness? But we only have one request..."

Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly appeared even more worried than Kagerin, her fingertips landing on his thigh, gently pressing down.

"Never abandon me."

He was always there for me when I was at my weakest.

Furthermore, with recent developments, we can no longer live without it.

Therefore, knowing what was going on, Tamamo-no-Mae would ignore that annoying little brat.

I just hope that Yinglin won't leave me and become a fox wandering the streets.

"No, I will always be with you."

"Yes, I'll remember what you said. If I can't do it..."

The fox I once knew has probably reverted to its original nature, relying on even greater power to look down upon all living beings.

"Don't worry, if I did something like that, putting aside the moral issues, I'd probably become like Brother Cheng."

They clearly had a better path to develop, yet they still managed to achieve the success of a trio.

The result...

"What do you mean?"

Yinglin patiently explained to her, and after listening, Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth and chuckled.

We're completely different from them.
