I rested my chin on my hand and looked at Akuraba Of Goguryeo,
He knelt quietly in front of the fire with a faint smile on his face.
Sigh,
I'm really not good at dealing with this person. I hate this kind of person who is always smiling. After all, Fuji Shūsuke defeated my former Prince Charming, Shiraishi Kōsuke.
Smiling is unforgivable!
I thought about it carefully all night,
I went through the reasons why Akuraba Of Goguryeo was not good the next day and asked him not to let me work anymore. Then, I thought about all the possible conversations and prepared a draft.
The next day, I threw all my luggage to Akuraba Of Goguryeo.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo directly summoned his shikigami to help carry the things!
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 smart.
However, with the help of the shikigami, our speed suddenly increased a lot, and we soon arrived at our destination.
This was a noble city,
It was said that a powerful monster appeared in this city,
Several Onmyoji came, but they couldn't find the crux of the problem, so Akuraba Of Goguryeo dealt with this matter.
Along the way,
Akuraba Of Goguryeo would occasionally teach me some knowledge about yin-yang techniques,
But he never taught me yin-yang techniques that I could use.
"It's because you're simply too powerful.
Before you have the temperament to use your strength, I won't teach you yin-yang techniques that are harmful. "
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 residence,
They prepared food.
The food was still relatively average, but it was better than what I ate a few days ago. I ate a meal happily and took a walk in the courtyard.
As I walked, I heard whispers. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, when I heard the name 'Akuraba Of Goguryeo', I hid in the bushes and listened.
"Did someone die again yesterday?"
"That's right. This time, it's Lord Lu Zheng."
"As expected, it's because of Tomiko, right?"
"Is she here for revenge? How scary."
"After all, it was Lord Yasuo and Lord Lu Zheng who treated Tomiko that way …"
The two maids whispered to each other for a while before leaving.
From this conversation, I could already imagine what kind of monster it was.
I was so angry. I didn't expect to meet this kind of scum here! My blood rushed to my head and I decided to take revenge for this female ghost.
If the laws of the world cannot 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 am I supposed to help her?
… I'm sorry, I'm just an incompetent ordinary human!
I thought about it and threw this matter to the back of my mind. However, to my surprise, the opportunity came quickly. Akuraba Of Goguryeo arrived on the second day, and he found the ghost and caught her.
"As expected of Lord Goguryeo, you're really powerful." The nobles were respectful with a trace of fear. They even had a flattering smile on their faces. "Lord, please stay for a few days and enjoy the scenery here."
Akuraba Of Goguryeo shook his head. "I can't leave the capital for too long. I have to pack my luggage tonight. I'll leave tomorrow."
"Yes, yes. After all, even the Emperor can't leave you." The nobles took out a box from one of their attendants. "You took the trouble to help me. This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"That's part of my duty," Ye Zichen replied. Akuraba Of Goguryeo smiled and took the box. "If there's anything similar, please tell me at any time."
… Wow, these two really made a deal face to face.
I was dumbfounded as I watched Akuraba Of Goguryeo smile and give the box to the shikigami next to him. The two of them slowly left the place. I couldn't help but glance at the jar Akuraba Of Goguryeo used his strength to seal the female ghost.
This must be the female ghost who met with 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 nodded pitifully.
"Save me, I'm in so much pain, 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 who 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 chuckled 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 the nobles, but she also killed the servants who worked with her and her family members. She began to attack them crazily.
"Ye, Goguryeo -sama! Didn't you already catch that monster?! " The nobleman cried bitterly and knelt at Akuraba Of Goguryeo's feet. His tears and snot flowed out. "I beg you, 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 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 became a pool of tranquil water.
"Do you know what you did wrong?" Akuraba Of Goguryeo asked me.
"I know. Let's go and save them!" I hurriedly grabbed Akuraba Of Goguryeo's hand, wanting to pull him out.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo followed me to the courtyard. When we were out of everyone's sight, he stopped. "There's no need to go. I've already sent my shikigami to prevent this from happening."
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 shouldn't be like this, right?
I was already guilty of making a mistake. Now, I carefully glanced at Akuraba Of Goguryeo. "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, pitch-black monster. She had completely lost her rationality as a human. She kept saying things that the living couldn't understand.
"Do you see? This is the consequence of letting evil spirits go free." As Akuraba Of Goguryeo spoke, he raised his hand. A faint light gathered under his hand and formed the shape of a pentagram. In the end, it turned into a black hole and swallowed Tomiko, who had already turned into an evil spirit.
But, can't I just release her soul?
I was conflicted. However, I didn't understand what this world was like. Since I had already made a mistake once, I didn't mention it again.
Then, we returned to the capital. I originally thought that after this, I would obediently learn the Yin Yang Technique. Then, I would finally be able to control my huge spiritual power.
However, after returning to the capital, I didn't even have a peaceful time for a few days before I was locked up.
"You must have seen it. This world is full of evil spirits and monsters that take people's lives." Akuraba Of Goguryeo sat across from me with a faint smile. "Therefore, the Emperor ordered the construction of a magic formation that enveloped the entire capital and expelled the evil spirits from the capital."
At that time, I didn't react. I said dumbly, "That's good."
"The core of the magic formation must have a huge amount of spiritual power. It's equivalent to a living sacrifice."
When I heard about a huge amount of spiritual power, I had a bad premonition. As expected, his next sentence confirmed my suspicions.
"I divined the location of the living sacrifice and went to find you."
"???"
But I didn't want it!
Every day, I was thinking about how to reject Lambda Lacertae without hurting his face. I felt that I could convince myself to do it if we were friends, but if it was a relationship … Wow, does Pharaoh even have the concept of a relationship?
Anyway, if it was to become his woman, I definitely couldn't do it.
