The Fang from Heaven

The crowd heard Lin Yun's words and suddenly understood.

Indeed, if Housenki had borrowed the power of the Shikon Jewel Fragments, then it made sense that he still possessed such powerful demonic energy after death. Perhaps he had brought the Shikon Jewel Fragments into this world with good intentions. But once he discovered that, in this world, he could preserve his life by relying on their demonic power—

His noble purpose had become tainted by selfish motives.

Every man for himself, and the heavens punish the rest—especially when it came to demons. No one could blame Housenki for making that choice. But they were on opposing sides, and even knowing that taking the Shikon Jewel Fragments would mean Housenki's death, Lin Yun and the others couldn't let them go.

"So what? I was already dead. The only reason I'm still alive is because I borrowed the power of the Shikon Jewel Fragments. It was a deal between me and the fragments. Can you blame me for that? Hmm... human Wizard?" Perhaps it was because Lin Yun had shown his strength so clearly.

So... what had started as a contemptuous "human" had now become "human Wizard"...

Very well. That was a demon for you.

Housenki didn't try to hide anything after Lin Yun exposed his secret. He answered frankly.

His utterly unapologetic tone earned the admiration of everyone present.

After all, that shameless confidence... Well, he really was a Little Demon.

But the self-assured Housenki didn't know that Lin Yun—or, rather... Silly Big Girl beside him—was different from Inuyasha and the others.

It was just as he said: no one could blame him for using the demonic power of the Shikon Jewel Fragments to prolong his life. The fragments had no owner, and the Jewel itself had tacitly approved their deal.
