【The Next Day】
【Just a night after you met the esteemed Narukami Shogun, the Kujou Clan came to invite you again】
【This time, you found that it was not only her, but also Ei, who had been hiding behind the screen the previous day, had appeared】
【Seeing you, she wasn't surprised, Raiden Shogun knew that she was exposed yesterday, and since she was exposed, there was no point in hiding anymore】
【Probably because of having the same ideals and opinions, you quickly became good friends】
【You started to address each other by your real names】
【From this day on, you no longer need to be announced or searched when entering or leaving Tenshukaku】
【Days went by】
【While in Tenshukaku, you met more of Inazuma's high-ranking officials】
【Kitsune Saiguu was the one who came the most often, she would often pick on you, hoping to get back at you for the previous incident, but unfortunately she failed every time】
【Secondly, you finally met the Onryou Chiyo, who the Oni called the last of the strong】
【The Oni with a moon-like face, after hearing that you were once a descendant of a god, excitedly challenged you to a duel】
【The result was destined, she could only face defeat】
【As for the last one, Tengu Takeru, because of the frequent movements of Watatsumi Island, she was dispatched to Yashiori Island to oversee the army, you were unable to meet her】
【With the passage of time, your reputation became increasingly prominent, the common people spread the rumor that the great Onmyouji, and the Narukami Shogun have become friends, deeply favored by the court】
【As you integrated into the small circle of Inazuma's high-ranking officials, you played card games with these noble beings every day, telling them the old stories you still "remember", and sharing your experiences of different cultures】
【Every time this happened, Raiden Shogun was very interested, while Ei, who had lost the card game, would be discouraged】
【Kitsune Saiguu, acting as the referee, would deliberately provoke them, and finally Onryou Chiyo accidentally disrupted the arrangement】
【Of course, while deepening your relationship with the twin Raiden sisters, you also did not lose sight of the task you were supposed to play】
【Every night, you were the Hyakki Yakou no Ō, who almost controlled the entire demon realm】
【Every once in a while, you would disappear for a period of time and return to Tsurumi Island, Raiden Shogun and Kitsune Saiguu would tacitly not ask】
【From the initial help of the Tsuchigumo, Jorogumo, and Kappa Chiri, you had more and more powerful yokai under your command】
【One month after leaving the island, the powerful yokai "Jaku" and "Inugami" came to pledge their allegiance】
【In February, you subdued the powerful yokai "Kyokotsu" and "Tenjo-saki"]
【In March, you defeated the powerful yokai "Raijuu" and "Nue"]
【Half a year later, you increased the powerful yokai "Kamaitachi", "Ushioni", "Byakuzakura", "Yuki-onna", "Neko-mata"...】
【Almost all the powerful yokai that still survived were captured by you】
【Your influence also enveloped Narukami Island, with the addition of the Oni, Tengu, and Tanuki tribes, the reputation of the yokai lord echoed even within Tenshukaku】
【Congratulations】
【Your role-playing simulation level has increased significantly】
【Your forces continue to expand, Raiden Shogun has no great reaction to this, you even heard her jokingly say to Kitsune Saiguu that she thinks she will be defeated and played with by someone sooner or later】
【Three years passed】
【During this time, the whole Inazuma City was very restless】
【Because the reputation of the yokai lord has become increasingly louder, even among the common people, it has spread widely, and similarly, your identity as the great Onmyouji has also risen rapidly】
【Perhaps worried that those evil yokai will come back and plunge Inazuma into turmoil, many people came to ask you to go and subdue those powerful yokai】
【You remained unmoved, telling them that the time was not yet right】
【On the other hand, because of three years of friction and forbearance, the hostility between Watatsumi Island and Yashiori Island has gradually intensified】
【At the same time, news came from afar】
【You heard that a young man had learned Watatsumi people's whale songs and rituals from the Kaedehara sisters, and at the same time he understood the sword techniques called Tsukiyomi and Yuuhi, and therefore joined the army and made a very significant contribution】
【Everything seems to be on the verge of a storm, the current calm is just the prelude to a storm, but Narukami Island has not felt the pressure from the border】
【You are convinced that now is the time to unify the yokai world】
【Only the final Shirogane Tribe remains, then you will have accomplished the achievement of making all yokai bow down to you】
【So, on a night when the stars were sparse and the moon was bright, you transformed into a young man and arrived at Kageuchi Mountain】
【Narukami Grand Shrine】
【At this moment, a familiar figure unexpectedly waited here, the other person was none other than Kitsune Saiguu】
…………
Narukami Grand Shrine!
The shrine surrounded by Sakura trees, was eerily quiet, without a single soul in sight.
Only the Shirogane Matriarch, with silver hair and golden eyes, leaned against the crimson torii, with several unopened jars of fine sake beside her.
Hearing the slight sound of footsteps coming from the steps outside the torii, she raised her eyes and glanced, then a playful expression appeared on her face.
“You took so long to come here, I thought you had forgotten about this place.”
The figure of Luocheng in his youthful form, with yokai aura swirling around him, paused.
No matter how his expression was, Kitsune Saiguu pointed at the more than a dozen jars at her feet and said:
“Remember what you said when you first left, you said that when you came to visit in person, you would prepare more sake, well, I don’t know if it’s enough.”
After finishing, she approached with a smile in her eyes, circling Luocheng and examining him, clicking her tongue in amazement.
“Hmm, it does have the pure aura of a yokai, is this part of the lost power you have found?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Luocheng knew that his disguise had been broken.
Without saying a word, he restored his original youthful appearance, and he asked:
“When did you notice?”
“You don’t take us for fools, do you?” Kitsune Saiguu retorted with a roll of her eyes.
“At first, I didn’t even think about it, but later on, every time you left, the yokai lord would appear once, not at the same time, and you didn’t even bother to disguise yourself.”
“Plus, I learned that the great Onmyouji and the yokai lord appeared almost simultaneously, even without evidence, I could guess roughly through divination.”
That’s true.
Luocheng nodded in agreement.
He really hadn’t tried to hide it too much, maybe he would have done so at the beginning.
But after being with Raiden Shogun for so long, he was certain that she wouldn’t break ties with him because of this, so he didn’t bother to be hypocritical.
