The evil palace's responsibility...]

【……】

【Through the lively streets, you come to a small palace.】

[There are many warriors guarding the palace outside. People coming and going have their heads down and are walking in a hurry, not daring to look at the magnificent building. 】

[The 'High-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire' raises his chin and introduces to you with a proud face. This is the real owner of 'Qianhui City', which is the 'Ixie Palace' to which it belongs. 】

[Passing through the tight guards, you enter the palace city, and you see many gorgeous palaces of different sizes standing in the "Ixie Palace". The people coming and going are all onmyojis wearing hunting clothes and black hats. 】

[If you observe these onmyojis carefully, you will find that they are also divided into classes. The different styles of hunting clothes mark the status of the onmyojis. 】

[Onmyoji who come and go are a little surprised to see your multi-eyed appearance, but they don’t seem to have a high status. They glance at you quickly and then look away...]

[The ‘High-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire’ dismounts and leads you forward, passing through layers of buildings, passing several checkpoint guards, and finally reaches the deepest part of the palace city. 】

[The palace in front of you is tall and magnificent, and the entire palace is protected by a golden arched barrier. 】

[The tadpole-like incantations flashing and swimming on the outer wall of this golden barrier are exactly what you are familiar with, ‘Guarding the Absolute Boundary of the Ten Directions’. 】

[Looking through the golden barrier, there are two giant shikigami statues guarding the palace entrance.]

[The statue on the left is a green-faced, fanged, terrifying ‘evil spirit’ shikigami, and the right side is a ‘youkai’ shikigami with black wings on its back, resembling a giant dog.]

['The high-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire' asks the Onmyoji stationed outside the barrier for instructions and explains your identity and purpose in order to meet the Deputy Palace Master...]

[The stationed Onmyoji entered the barrier and entered the palace to report the matter...]

[You can't help but wonder why you are not meeting the highest-status palace master of the Yixie Palace, but the deputy palace master?]

[The Onmyoji saw your confusion and explained that the Palace Master is old and has not been involved in affairs for many years. The deputy Palace Master is now in charge of the power in the palace...]

[The person who went to report the matter did not reply for a long time. Onmyoji was worried that you would be impatient with waiting, so he took the initiative to introduce it to you...]

[The two statues of shikigami at the entrance to the main palace of the ‘Ishagu Shrine’ are of great origin. The evil spirit shikigami on the left is named ‘Rakshasa’, while the yokai shikigami on the right is named ‘Katsutengu’. 】

[Both are very powerful shikigami, and they are the unique shikigami of ‘Ixie Palace’. 】

[If the deputy palace master likes a certain onmyoji with outstanding talent, he will give one of the two shikigami for him to drive. 】

[This time it went to ‘Fukang City’ because the descendants of the deputy palace master’s blood were massacred by the ‘evil remnants’. 】

[If it can catch the monster that deserves death, it will be rewarded with the 'Katsutengu' shikigami. 】

[The deputy palace master placed a curse mark on the 'evil remnant', thinking that he would be able to capture the monster and bring it back to Yixie Palace. 】

[But when it led a group of Onmyoji to arrive at the 'Otaki Mansion', the token used to show the location of the mark showed no hint at all...]

[However, being able to meet mage masters from foreign countries and exchange and learn from each other's techniques is a great achievement, and the deputy palace master will definitely not be stingy with the reward. 】

[The words of the 'high-ranking Onmyoji who worship the fire' remind you in a subtle way, don't hide your magic skills secretly after meeting the deputy palace master. Open and honest communication will definitely yield a lot of benefits...]

[You are very puzzled when you hear this, and ask it, since the "Otaki family" of Ukioka City is the family of the deputy palace master, why can it let a little monster do evil? 】

[Onmyoji sighed. If it were normal times, the little monster would not dare to be so presumptuous. But these days, Ixie Palace is holding a 'Shikigami Ceremony', and a group of powerful onmyojis guarding the 'Otaki Family' are...

Returning to the palace to participate in the Dharma assembly gave this little monster an opportunity...]

[You were about to ask what the 'Shikigami Ceremony' was, but you saw that the person who reported the report had returned, and handed you and the Onmyoji a token full of talismans, signaling to the deputy palace master to summon him...]

[You have obtained the ‘Token of Absolute Realm’ (key)! 】

"This deputy palace owner should be the great-grandmother of 'Otaki Taro', the one who put the curse on me."

"I don't know if the deputy palace master's body is strong enough..."
