What Kind of Type-Moon Is This!

["The Dragon Slayer Will Eventually Become an Evil Dragon" curse has been removed]

[Your physical fitness has greatly improved]

[Learned Skill: Mana Burst (Lightning)]

[You are certain the Gods of Thunder are seeking personal revenge, but you have no proof. Just as you are about to leave, something rushes at you from Mount Ooe]

[Your excellent eyesight allows you to clearly see the approaching figure]

[Judging by the appearance of the approaching person, you guess it is Shuten-dōji]

[In fact, you are not mistaken; it is indeed Shuten-dōji. While she was out looking for good wine away from Mount Ooe, she discovered lightning striking from the sky, obliterating all the yokai and spirits on the entire mountain. Since you are the only one around, Shuten-dōji believes you are responsible and intends to demand an explanation]

[In reality, Shuten-dōji doesn't care whether those spirits live or die. As long as she has delicious wine, grand feasts, and enjoyable delicacies, she harbors no hatred]

[In other words, she is a very easily appeased yokai]

However, Bai Ming had no intention of appeasing her—

"Yokai, eat my fist!"

Bai Ming charged forward with a Phase Rush, landing a punch squarely on Shuten-dōji's face. Shuten-dōji was sent flying backward on the spot.

Shuten-dōji, covered in dust and grime, climbed up from the ground.

"An interesting man—"

Shuten-dōji completely ignored the punch Bai Ming had landed on her face. Instead, she looked at him with a smile, "Were the yokai of my Mount Ooe annihilated by you?"

"Something like that."

Seeing Bai Ming's tense demeanor, Shuten-dōji spoke, "I don't intend to seek revenge. Do you have any wine?"

"No."

Bai Ming walked towards Shuten-dōji step by step. Shuten-dōji sighed, her aura becoming increasingly dangerous. However, as she approached Bai Ming, her breath hitched.

Shuten-dōji looked up at Bai Ming, falling into silence.

How is this person so tall? His hairstyle also looks different from the locals, and his clothing too...

Is this guy a foreigner? How could a foreigner appear in Heian-kyo?

Could the rumors from before be true? Are Chinese immortals coming to snatch faith? Is this person here to spread religion?

Shuten-dōji spoke, "Are you from China?"

[In the current era, Japan's greatest influence comes from China. Chinese people are generally tall and strong. Coupled with the widespread news of you defeating Abe no Seimei, Shuten-dōji immediately assumed you were a Chinese person who had traveled across the ocean]

[In response to Shuten-dōji's question, you readily admitted it]

Shuten-dōji knew that in China, immortals were considered gods. She was just a great yokai; how could she possibly confront a god?

At that moment, Shuten-dōji made a decision and said:

"I won't fight you. The Onmyōjutsu from China is very sinister. I heard before that a Chinese immortal came to Heian-kyo, carrying a dog and beating people and yokai everywhere. If they fought you or killed you, that Chinese immortal would definitely come after me—"

Shuten-dōji's voice abruptly stopped. She saw a puppy running over with something in its mouth, and then the man in front of her picked up the puppy.

Bai Ming said, "Continue speaking, I'm listening. If they fought me or killed me, then what?"

"N-nothing." Shuten-dōji's expression turned awkward. "I believe I have no enmity with you, so... can we reconcile? If not, I have reasons why I must reconcile."

[You gestured for Shuten-dōji to explain her reasons, and she then recounted how she, The Algae Woman, and Ōtengu, as three great yokai, were currently facing The Algae Woman's desire to enter human society and seize power and status. She also mentioned that if she were to die, it would trigger a Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of a Hundred Demons) retaliation from other yokai]

[Upon hearing this, instead of worrying, you felt excited]

[You haven't even used the new magic artifact the Gods of Thunder just gave you. If they were to have a Hyakki Yagyō, wouldn't that be absolutely thrilling?]

[You originally intended to spare Shuten-dōji's life, but the thought of a Hyakki Yagyō after her death made you no longer want her to leave alive]

Bai Ming smiled, and Shuten-dōji smiled. She thought Bai Ming had compromised, never expecting Bai Ming to say with a smile, "Then you must die even more, Miss Shuten-dōji. I want to see a Hyakki Yagyō."

"Eh?"

Shuten-dōji's smile froze. Who the hell had the Chaotic-Evil alignment?!

At that moment, Shuten-dōji became anxious, "I have other ways to make them have a Hyakki Yagyō. I can take you to capture The Algae Woman; she's a top-tier beauty."

Bai Ming stroked Setanta's head, his tone slow, "Don't rush, don't rush. I have other ideas, but before I implement my ideas..."

[You drafted a strictly unequal contract, and at the beginning of the contract, you wrote "Heaven and Earth (Gaia's Consciousness) Witness." If Shuten-dōji violates it, Heaven and Earth will not tolerate her. To survive and to continue drinking wine and enjoying good food, Shuten-dōji humiliatingly signed this unequal contract]

[You became Shuten-dōji's master]

Chapter Forty-Five: Going to Meet Sei Shōnagon at Twenty-Eight Years Old

[Shuten-dōji's appearance is much more attractive than Ibaraki-dōji's. Although her figure is even more disappointing than Akuta Hinako's, you can still accept it—]

[After all, she's the "CCTV Anchor Sister" from FGO, notoriously seductive]

[You brought Shuten-dōji back to your residence in Heian-kyo]

"Aren't you afraid I'll pull out your bones when you let your guard down?"

Shuten-dōji's nimble hands moved across her body, revealing a glimpse of her fair shoulder through her unfastened purple kimono.

She didn't directly remove her kimono; this was a deliberate pose meant to entice Bai Ming.

Although their identities and stances as a human and a demon were vastly different, Shuten-dōji had to admit that Bai Ming was drawing her in.

It was as if she herself had been charmed.

But Shuten-dōji, being one of the three great demons of Heian-kyo, couldn't possibly be affected by such charms.

Therefore, Shuten-dōji believed she was simply interested in Bai Ming.

Facing Shuten-dōji's provocation, Bai Ming directly grasped the demon horns on her head. Shuten-dōji trembled all over, her body instantly stiffening.

The horns of Japanese demons were extremely sensitive to their own kind, and it was no different for Shuten-dōji.

Bai Ming spoke, "You can try."

The contract alone was enough to prevent Shuten-dōji from doing anything to harm Bai Ming. Thus, the most Shuten-dōji could do was to bluster due to her status as a great Japanese demon.

"I'm not a fool, mmm~"

The hand holding her horns moved down, one hand caressing Shuten-dōji's face, the other resting on her neck.

Her fingers slipped into the collar of her close-fitting garment. With a slight tug, the neck adornment broke open, and the black clothing that barely covered her fell away.

Her hidden desires could no longer be contained.

At this moment, Shuten-dōji was left with nothing but her purple kimono.

Then, Bai Ming pressed Shuten-dōji onto the tatami mat.

Shuten-dōji wasn't originally a demon; before that, she was the daughter of Yamata no Orochi, or rather, the Nine-Headed Dragon.

Before she fell, as a divine being, her name wasn't Shuten-dōji, but Ibuki-dōji.

Having fallen into becoming a demon, Shuten-dōji had naturally lost her vast divine heart, leaving only a meager, pitiable demon heart.

However, compared to when she was still a divine being, it was possible that her divine heart was exchanged for a petite and delicate figure, a beautiful face, and normal skin tone.

Bai Ming's fingers touching her demon heart caused Shuten-dōji's body to tremble slightly.

Both her demon heart and her horns were extremely sensitive points for Shuten-dōji.

[Talent Greedy Wolf activated]

An absurd thought entered Shuten-dōji's mind: her demon heart and horns felt as if they were burning like a volcano.

Shuten-dōji instinctively wanted to stop Bai Ming, but she quickly restrained the impulse, allowing the agitation to grow in her mind.

Shuten-dōji was petite, so while Bai Ming was examining her, she was unable to do anything.

Only when Bai Ming stopped and withdrew his hands did Shuten-dōji suddenly let out a sigh of relief and look at Bai Ming with great interest.

Shuten-dōji was a hedonist by nature. After feeling the positive feedback from her brain, she didn't hesitate at all. Even if there was a significant height difference, she would find a way to ensure both of them could fully enjoy themselves.

[Your evaluation of Shuten-dōji in this regard is similar to Morgan's; she is fully automatic.]

[You have possessed Shuten-dōji's body and soul.]

[The next day, when you woke up, Shuten-dōji was checking your mental state.]

"Good morning, Master. You seem to be in good spirits this morning."

Shuten-dōji looked at Bai Ming with a radiant smile. "I've prepared some food. I wonder if Master will like it."

Bai Ming surveyed his surroundings for a few seconds before grabbing Shuten-dōji.

"It seems Master is also a hedonist. Would you like some sake? I highly recommend these varieties."

As she spoke, Shuten-dōji conjured a large amount of sake as if by magic.

Bai Ming remained silent. What normal person would drink first thing in the morning without doing anything else?

[You pushed Shuten-dōji away but took her sake. After washing up and feeding Setanta, you began to practice scriptures. As for Shuten-dōji's sake, you used it for offerings and invited the Gods of Thunder to taste it.]

[At noon, you cleaned yourself and planned to take a stroll through Heian-kyo.]

[During the Heian period, it was a time when yokai and demons ran rampant. Even during the day, yokai would cause trouble. However, after you struck Abe no Seimei with lightning, punched Ashiya Doman, and struck Mount Ooe with lightning, most yokai without strong backing became much more well-behaved during the day. Only a few yokai backed by powerful demons occasionally emerged to cause mischief.]

[Walking onto the street, you saw yin-yang masters practicing martial arts and warriors practicing yin-yang arts.]

[A man named Watanabe no Tsuna was walking towards you, sword in hand.]

"Lady Akuta Hinako, I am Watanabe no Tsuna, a retainer of Minamoto no Yorimitsu of the Seiwa Genji."

The man bowed to Bai Ming. "I hope to receive your assistance."

Bai Ming shook his head and said, "The strongest demon slayer in Heian-kyo, please return. I will not offer my help. Your attitude towards demons and mine are different; those who walk different paths cannot plan together."

Watanabe no Tsuna nodded and said, "I understand. My apologies for the intrusion."

He then turned and left.

Watanabe no Tsuna possessed some social skills, but he was genuinely poor at socializing. Therefore, after Bai Ming refused, he didn't say anything further, merely apologized and departed.

[For Watanabe no Tsuna, demons are not beings to be hated, nor are they beings to be saved; they are beings to be slain. This is done without any sympathy or pity, and without hatred or joy. In short, it is work, an obligation.]

But for you, if all of humanity were to perish, you would definitely have to intervene. However, if these trivial matters are about the life and death of Japanese people, what business is it of yours? You're merely indulging your whims, playing around with the simulator in past historical events. Saving people or clearing out spirits are just fleeting impulses for you.

After Watanabe no Tsuna departed, you began to consider what you wanted to do.

Considering the current historical context, you wanted to meet someone named Sei Shōnagon. Although the Sei Shōnagon of this time was merely a young girl named no surname, named Noko, this wouldn't stop you from meeting her.

Simulation paused—

Bai Ming: So? I want to meet her, doesn't the system have anything to say about it?

System: Say what OWO?

Bai Ming: You idiot, give me the address! If you don't give me the address, how am I supposed to find her? Using divination?

System: ...The character's current location has been marked with a single click.

Simulation continues.

Murasaki Shikibu, Sei Shōnagon, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu were all figures from the same era. After interrogating the system, you successfully obtained the current addresses of all three.

In the year 982, you are going to meet Sei Shōnagon, who is sixteen years old.

Chapter 46: System: Madman, where did you find this crazy woman?

You went to find Abe no Seimei, and through him, you easily met the sixteen-year-old Sei Shōnagon.

You then immediately proposed.

System: Wait, bro?

Although Sei Shōnagon couldn't understand what was happening, she claimed to be moved by your courage. Furthermore, her identity as a scholar of Chinese classics made her like you even more, so she accepted your proposal.

System: Wait, sis?
