"That's right, that's right," Jin Jianglang hurriedly said. "Just kill any three monsters, and you can join the Shiranui Household and live here from now on."
"Three...?" Yanyanluo froze for a moment. "That's wonderful! I've already killed three monsters!"
"Yes!" Jin Jianglang quickly answered. "Head of the household, I personally saw Blind Princess kill three monsters."
"Then that settles it!" Shuten nodded. "From now on, you're an Onmyoji of the Shiranui Household. I grant you the name Shiranui Blind Girl. You'll live here from now on. With me here, no one will dare lay a hand on you. Anything else?"
"Huh?" Yanyanluo blinked. "Shiranui Blind Girl...? M-may I ask, head of the household, could you give me a slightly nicer name...?"
Xiao Xiang pulled another identical paper fan from the little bag she carried...
"My mistake. It's Shiranui Blind Princess." Shuten gave an embarrassed smile.

She took out one of her own robes and dressed Yanyanluo in it. From then on, Yanyanluo became the strange monster who wore a Shiranui Robe in the Maple Forest.
But with Shuten's protection, no one dared hurt her anymore.
Blind Princess felt the clothes she wore, her expression full of delight. "Little Sister Xiao Xiang, this is the same robe you all wear, isn't it?"
"Yes! Big Sister Blind Princess! Your robe is exactly the same as mine!"
"Th-that's wonderful!" Blind Princess said happily.
Those days were the happiest of Jin Jianglang's life.
For a time, he forgot "lineage," forgot "fate," forgot "humans" and "monsters"-all the concepts that bound him. His eyes held only that woman, pure as mist.
During that time, Jin Jianglang went out several times to slay monsters
