Me:???
Then what were you doing before?!!!
"That was a small education." Akuraba Of Goguryeo said with a smile.
Wow,
You, this person,
You are very tall, but you are not very narrow-minded.
However, with the help of the Spirit-branded Retainer, our speed suddenly increased a lot,
We soon arrived at our destination.
This was a noble city. It was said that a powerful monster had appeared in this city,
Several Onmyoji had come, but they could not find the crux of the problem,
So Akuraba Of Goguryeo was in charge of handling this matter.
Along the way,
Akuraba Of Goguryeo would occasionally teach me some knowledge of yin and yang,
But he never taught me the yin and yang that I could use.
"That's because you're too powerful.
Before you have the temperament to use your strength,
I won't teach you the yin and yang that hurts you. "
Okay, okay, okay, you know a lot, you're right.
After entering the city, the nobles in the city received us very respectfully. They even arranged a place to stay and prepared food.
The level of food was still relatively average,
But it was better than what I ate a few days ago. I ate a meal happily,
I took a walk in the courtyard.
As I walked, I heard whispers of discussion. I didn't pay much attention to them at first,
Because I heard the words Akuraba Of Goguryeo, I hid in the bushes and listened.
"Did someone die again yesterday?"
"Yes,
This time it's Lord Lu Zheng. "
"As expected, it's because of Tomiko, right?"
"Is she here for revenge... it's so scary."
"After all, it was Lord Kang Fu and Lord Lu Zheng... who treated Tomiko like that..."
The two maids whispered to each other for a while,
Then they left.
From this conversation, I could imagine what kind of monster it was.
I felt so angry. I didn't expect to meet such scum here! When my blood rushed to my head,
I decided to help this female ghost take revenge.
If the law of the human world couldn't punish the wicked,
Then let me use the most primitive method!
With a sense of justice in my heart,
I fell into deep thought.
... How can I help others?
… I'm sorry, I'm just an incompetent human being!
After thinking about it, I threw this matter to the back of my mind. However, to my surprise, the opportunity came quickly. It was because Akuraba Of Goguryeo had found the ghost on the second day of his arrival.
"As expected of Lord Goguryeo, you are truly too powerful." There was a hint of fear in the respect of the nobles. They even had flattering smiles on their faces. "Sir, please stay for a few more days and enjoy the scenery here."
Akuraba Of Goguryeo shook his head. "I can't leave the capital for too long. I'll pack my bags tonight and leave tomorrow."
"Yes, yes. After all, even the Emperor can't leave you." The aristocrat said as he took out a box from his attendant. "You've spared no effort to help me. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"This is also part of my duty." Akuraba Of Goguryeo smiled and received the box. "If there are any similar things, please tell me at any time."
... Wow, these two really had a face-to-face transaction.
I was dumbfounded as I watched Akuraba Of Goguryeo smile and give the box to the shikigami next to him. Then, the two of them slowly left the place. I couldn't help but glance at the jar that Akuraba Of Goguryeo was using his strength to seal the female ghost.
This must be the female ghost that had encountered a pitiful situation. I didn't fear death and went over to open the jar. I saw a small woman sitting inside.
"Save me... Sob, sob, sob. Is there anyone who can save me..."
"You're that female ghost?" I asked. The small person inside the jar nodded pitifully.
"Save me, please. It's so painful, so uncomfortable..."
The moment I reached out to take the small person out of the jar, someone grabbed my shoulder.
"What are you doing?"
"... I, I'm just looking."
The smile on Akuraba Of Goguryeo's face disappeared. "What are you doing?"
Wow! Scary! The Head of Teaching found out that I was playing with my phone in class!
Once the smile on his face disappeared, Akuraba Of Goguryeo suddenly looked unapproachable. I said timidly, "Well, I think she was killed, but those people haven't been punished yet... So, I..."
"So, you want to release her?" Akuraba Of Goguryeo sighed. "She's no longer human. She's completely turned into an evil spirit. An evil spirit that kills people will only become more and more addicted to..."
"But, can you let those people who should be punished escape?" I wasn't convinced. "Why?"
"The crimes of the living shouldn't be judged by the dead," Akuraba Of Goguryeo closed the lid of the jar and pasted a talisman on it.
"Then, what if the laws of the human world can't punish them?"
Akuraba Of Goguryeo suddenly stopped. He smiled softly and turned to look at me.
"I can't answer this question. Let's give it a try."
I shouldn't have asked Akuraba Of Goguryeo this question. At this moment, he no longer looked like the gentle Onmyoji of the past. It was as if he had turned into another person.
"If you must see," Akuraba Of Goguryeo said and handed the jar to me, "You can let her go."
“？？” I didn't know why Akuraba Of Goguryeo changed his mind. I took the jar and looked at him, dumbfounded.
"Revenge doesn't sound bad," Akuraba Of Goguryeo looked at me and smiled. "Isn't it?"
In the end, I hesitated and let Tomiko go. However, my heart was still filled with uneasiness and nervousness.
My uneasiness was confirmed at night. Tomiko started a massacre in the city. Not only did she kill her nobles, but she also killed her servants and her family members. She began to attack them crazily.
"Ye, Goguryeo -sama! Didn't you already catch that monster?! " The nobleman cried and knelt at Akuraba Of Goguryeo's feet. His tears and snot flowed out. "Please save me!"
"It seems that she has more power than I thought. The one we caught earlier was just her clone." Akuraba Of Goguryeo helped the nobleman up and smiled comfortingly. "It's okay. I will purify her."
After comforting the nobleman, Akuraba Of Goguryeo looked at me with a smile. "Let's go. Let's go and see the real evil spirit."
Why is he still smiling at this time?
He could have stopped me from the beginning and explained things clearly to me. I'm not an unreasonable person. I won't let more people die like this.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo looked at me. There were many complicated emotions in his eyes that I couldn't understand. In the end, they turned into a pool of tranquil water.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Akuraba Of Goguryeo asked me.
"I know. Let's go and save her!" I grabbed Akuraba Of Goguryeo's hand and tried to pull him out.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo followed me to the courtyard. When we were out of everyone's sight, he stopped and said, "We don't need to go there. I've already sent my Spirit-branded Retainers to prevent this from happening again."
I heaved a sigh of relief. Then, I realized that Akuraba Of Goguryeo was still looking at me.
Is he going to praise me?
But he's already so old … He doesn't have to do this, does he?
I was already guilty of making a mistake. Now, I glanced at Akuraba Of Goguryeo cautiously. "Then … are you really a good person?"
"… I'm not a good person." Akuraba Of Goguryeo pulled my hand away. "Let's go."
He seemed to be in a bad mood. I didn't remember what had happened.
When I saw Tomiko, she had already turned into a huge, black monster. She had completely lost her rationality as a human. She kept saying things that the living couldn't understand.
