Mo Shuying felt it was necessary to speak with Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji. This wasn't their old Mount Oe Castle; this was Chaldea. While he didn't want to restrict them, they couldn't be too indulgent.
At the very least, they should close the door, right?
This time, with him there, he could set up a Boundary Field to help them conceal themselves, but what about later, when he wasn't around? They really needed to consider the implications.
And so.
That afternoon.
After everything was settled, Mo Shuying found Shuten Doji and the other two.
This was Nezha's room.
It was right next to Mo Shuying's, originally Child Gil's room, but now it belonged to Nezha.
Nezha's eye twitched as he watched Mo Shuying enter with the three oni.
He secretly leaned in close to Mo Shuying, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Your room's empty, why'd you come to mine?"
Mo Shuying naturally whispered back.
"I'm just worried that if they start making a ruckus and break something, I'll have to clean up my own room."
"..."
Nezha was speechless. You're truly despicable, you dog. Nezha felt helpless. What could he do when his Spirit Pearl was in Mo Shuying's hands? Otherwise, he would never have answered this man's summons. He had to remember from now on: never answer, even if it kills me!
"Ahem, everyone, please sit down. We're going to have a small internal meeting. Tomoe Gozen, lift your head, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Ibaraki Doji! Sit properly during the meeting, stop clinging to Shuten Doji!"
Mo Shuying walked to the table and began the meeting, but the problem children in front of him were truly disobedient.
"No way! I've finally reunited with Big Sister! I'm never letting go of Big Sister again!"
Ibaraki Doji flat-out refused. Mo Shuying's brow furrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand to slam it on the table.
*"Smack!"*
But the slap didn't land on the table. Nezha, with quick reflexes, reached out and stopped him!
Nezha's strength was undeniably powerful; anyone else surely couldn't have stopped him.
However, Nezha's gaze towards Mo Shuying also became a bit strange. Good heavens, so all this time... he was worried about breaking things himself!
"Let's talk this out calmly, no need to lose your temper. Harmony is precious, harmony is precious. We're all on the same side. We can solve problems by talking things through. Haven't you seen how I've reconciled with my father?"
Nezha spoke earnestly and patiently. If Li Jing were to see this scene, he would surely cry tears of emotion and exclaim that his rebellious son had finally grown up.
"Mr. Mo..."
At this moment, Tomoe Gozen spoke, her eyes darting away, seemingly afraid to look at Mo Shuying. It seemed she had made a great decision just to speak.
"What is it, Tomoe?"
Mo Shuying looked at Tomoe Gozen. Being stared at by Mo Shuying made Tomoe Gozen even more flustered, but her instincts told her that some things had to be made clear now, otherwise, they might never be clear!
"Phew... Mr. Mo! What I wanted to tell you is, what you saw me doing... actually! Actually, I didn't even know what I was doing! It was like my body wasn't under my control, and my soul wasn't obeying me! I..."
Tomoe Gozen felt particularly wronged. Ever since returning with Mo Shuying and Shuten Doji, it felt like she had been manipulated by some unseen force, often blacking out, and then waking up in some surprising situation.
Just a few hours ago, she woke up to see Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji doing something embarrassing. She only gasped, and then she was dragged into the fray, fighting to the point where the sky and earth turned dark. Tomoe Gozen felt that she was no longer pure and couldn't face Mo Shuying directly.
"Uh..."
Mo Shuying didn't know what to say after hearing Tomoe Gozen's words. Tomoe Gozen said she couldn't control herself, but what Mo Shuying saw was Tomoe Gozen having a great time. Oh, no!
Mo Shuying declared that he saw nothing!
"Little Tomoe! How can you say that? Don't try to clear your name alone for something involving three people; you were clearly the one screaming the loudest!"
Shuten Doji pushed Ibaraki Doji away with force. At these words, Tomoe Gozen was so embarrassed she nearly burrowed under the table.
Mo Shuying was also stunned by Shuten Doji's audacious words. He covered his head, feeling a headache coming on, and finally spoke.
"You, you're the one! You started it all, didn't you! No, Tomoe Gozen can't share a room with you. I'll arrange for Tomoe Gozen to live separately from you in a bit."
"Mr. Mo!"
Tomoe Gozen looked at Mo Shuying with gratitude. At this moment, Mo Shuying's figure rapidly grew in Tomoe Gozen's heart.
"Huh? If she leaves, does that mean I can share a room with Big Sister?!"
Ibaraki Doji's eyes lit up when she heard about Tomoe Gozen changing rooms.
Shuten Doji shivered. Her little sister was good in every way, except she was too clingy!
"No! You are someone else's Servant. When you are summoned, you must fulfill your duties as a Servant. Go find your Master; he should arrange your living situation."
Mo Shuying refused. Good heavens, if he put Ibaraki Doji and Shuten Doji in the same room, could anyone sleep at night without a sound-insulating array?
"Hmph! How stingy... Wait!"
Ibaraki Doji first grumbled unhappily, but then she thought of something, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Mo Shuying.
"Tell me! If I go and kill my current Master, will you be able to make a contract with me too! Just like Big Sister!"
"!!!"
Mo Shuying was startled by the words. How had it escalated to the point of killing a Master?
With a Servant like this, Mo Shuying suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Gilbert. Good luck, buddy.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless. Even if you actually kill your Master, I won't form a contract with you. Not only that, but we'll become enemies then. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Mo Shuying felt that this matter needed to be taken seriously, to avoid things going truly awry.
But facing Mo Shuying's threat, Ibaraki Doji showed disdain.
"What? Are you threatening me? Just you, a human? If it weren't for the fact that you're my Big Sister's Master, do you think I'd care about you?"
As an Oni King who once struck fear into countless people, Ibaraki Doji naturally held humans in contempt. Humans? Aren't they just things to fill one's stomach?
Ibaraki Doji's words made her provocative intent very clear.
Mo Shuying frowned, then said to Shuten Doji, "Do you mind if I punch her?"
Shuten Doji shook her head, gesturing for him to go ahead.
And Ibaraki Doji was just as stubborn.
"Punch me? Hmph! I'll take that as a challenge! Very well, I accept this challenge. You pick the place!"
Ibaraki Doji declared she wouldn't refuse anyone. If she so much as frowned, she wouldn't be Ibaraki Doji!
But right after Ibaraki Doji spoke, Shuten Doji patted her shoulder and said, "Go for it, little sister. Big Sister believes in you. You can definitely teach this stinky man who defeated Big Sister a lesson."
After Shuten Doji finished speaking, she felt Ibaraki Doji's body stiffen.
