Hogwarts Summoning Guide

This woman in red had a delicate and elegant air about her, skin as smooth as jade, and a gentle and graceful demeanor. It was hard to tell which famous family she came from, but she possessed such beauty and charm.

As Watanabe Tsuna approached, the woman seemed startled, and in her haste, she appeared to twist her ankle and nearly fell.

Watanabe no Tsuna quickly stepped forward and helped the woman up. Her cheeks flushed red with shyness. Watanabe no Tsuna looked down and exclaimed, "Holy crap!" The deep scenery beneath her clothes was something no ordinary farm girl could cultivate.

Despite this, Watanabe no Tsuna was a master of self-discipline and wouldn't be so easily swayed by emotions. He helped the woman up and quickly stepped aside, saying, "I meant no offense, please forgive me. I am Watanabe no Tsuna, a lieutenant general of the General's Mansion. May I ask who you are, young lady?"

The woman steadied herself, tears welling in her eyes, making her appear incredibly pitiful.

"I am the second daughter of the Saito family, the Junior Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. My name is Fengyu. My father sent me with the caravan from my hometown to the capital. However, I was unaware that the caravan had already left when I needed to use the restroom. As a result, I am stranded here and do not know where my home is. It is getting late, and I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of demons and villains..." The woman became more and more sad as she spoke, and she began to cry softly.

From afar, Bai Lin and Qingming had already spotted Watanabe no Tsuna and the woman in red. Even a fool could guess that the woman was definitely a demon in disguise.

Seimei's gaze was deep and composed; he wasn't in a hurry to exorcise demons. Bai Lin glanced at him, understanding dawning on him. The relationship between the Yin-Yang Bureau and the General's Mansion was delicate, and it was possible that Seimei wanted to make Watanabe no Tsuna suffer a setback.

Another question puzzled Bai Lin, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Why isn't it Ibaraki-dōji?" Yes, his senses were extremely sharp, but he couldn't detect any trace of Ibaraki-dōji on the woman in red.

"What Ibaraki-dōji? That's Momiji, the Demon Woman Momiji." Seimei glanced at Hakurin with some surprise.

Bai Lin didn't reply, but his confusion only deepened. He remembered the story clearly: the one who transformed into a beautiful woman and ate people at the Li Bridge, only to have his arm severed by Watanabe no Tsuna, was none other than Ibaraki-dōji. Later, Ibaraki-dōji trained for many years to recreate his demon hand, which became his weapon. Even if the folk tale was wrong, why did Seimei seem to have never heard of this famous demon, Ibaraki-dōji?

Could it be that because I killed Ibaraki-dōji, he also disappeared from the fragments of history? Bai Lin wondered to himself.

Just then, Bai Lin unexpectedly saw another dark figure approaching the Li Bridge from the shadows of the house. His eyesight, affected by the chaotic power, was far beyond that of ordinary people; he could see clearly even in the darkest places. The dark figure was tall and dressed in fine clothes. He carried no weapon on his back, but instead a long flute.

"Hiromasa?" Seimei was clearly very surprised and blurted out.

Seeing Bai Lin's blank expression, Qingming explained in a low voice, "Minamoto no Hiromasa is my good friend. He is fond of music. I don't know why he is here."

Bai Lin suddenly realized, "So it was him!" Minamoto no Hiromasa was a famous figure in the Heian period. He was born a prince, but his uncle succeeded to the throne, and his status became awkward. So he made a decision that saved his life and was also praised for his actions: he gave up his status as a prince, joined the ranks of subjects, was given the surname Minamoto, and became the adopted son of the great shogun Minamoto no Mitsunaka and the younger brother of Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

Because of this decision,

He had allowed Minamoto no Hiromasa to leave the vortex of the struggle for the throne and focus on playing music, where he made great achievements in music. However, upon meeting him today, Bai Lin discovered that he was clearly not just a simple nobleman or musician, but also a very powerful martial artist.

As they spoke, the couple under the bridge quickly progressed from "revealing their backgrounds" to "confessing their feelings," and were about to enter the stage of "secretly pledging their lives to each other and staying together forever."

Under the bridge, Watanabe no Tsuna had already persuaded the beauty "Fengyu" to let him ride a horse back to her mansion in the city. The beauty shyly agreed, and Watanabe no Tsuna held her hand, his heart filled with joy.

From afar, Minamoto no Hiromasa saw Watanabe no Tsuna leading a beautiful woman in red up from the riverbank, and quickly hid behind a nearby house to observe her secretly.

Watanabe no Tsuna originally intended for the beautiful Kaede to ride the horse while he led it (a bit of a sycophantic gesture), but the beautiful woman said, "Watanabe-kun, why don't you get on and ride with me?"

Watanabe no Tsuna was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he jumped onto the horse, half-embracing the beauty from behind, and slowly rode away.

The two rode together on one horse, chatting as they went. Watanabe Tsuna, with the beauty in his arms, was quite spirited. He secretly told himself that he had to seize the opportunity. Fengyu was the second daughter of the Saito family, who were ranked as the Junior Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. If he married her, his status would naturally improve.

The Saito family mansion was on the other side of the capital, but Watanabe no Tsuna didn't mind the distance. He wanted to hold the beauty a little longer and spend more time with her.

But just as the two reached a small grove of trees by the river, Fengyu suddenly said, "Watanabe-kun, why don't you come with me to Mount Aida? We'll never be apart in this life."

Watanabe no Tsuna was taken aback. He had no objection to the idea of ​​never being separated in this lifetime. He said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. However, Miss Fuyu, aren't we going to the Saito residence? Why are we going to Mount Aida?"

Fengyu turned around with a smile, threw herself into Watanabe Tsuna's arms, and hugged his neck. Watanabe Tsuna felt the heavy comfort against her chest, but then heard Fengyu say, "Because there are many sisters on Mount Aituo waiting to eat your flesh!"

Watanabe Tsuna felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, instantly sobering him up, but it was too late. A sharp pain shot through the back of his head as Feng Yu grabbed his hair, and the soft body in his arms vanished. The magnificent red Wufu was actually a dirty straw mat, and a red demon was floating in the air, clutching Watanabe Tsuna's hair.

The demon had long horns and its shape vaguely resembled that of a young woman, but it was entirely blood red, with a hideous and terrifying face. Two demonic teeth protruded from the corners of its mouth, giving it a bloodthirsty and cruel appearance.

The demon grinned and lifted Watanabe no Tsuna up like a rabbit. Watanabe no Tsuna was shocked, but his hand could no longer reach the katana hanging on the side of the horse. In desperation, he could only draw the mortap (a sword shorter than a kodachi, similar to a dagger, used for emergencies) stuck in his back and slash it at the demon's arm.

But this sword was just ordinary iron; it couldn't even cut through the demon's skin. The demon, as if toying with Watanabe Tsuna, tossed him around in the air, and even used the voice of the beautiful Kaede from before, saying, "Watanabe-kun, am I beautiful? Would you like to be intimate with me and never be apart again?"

Bai Lin gazed at the giant maw of the evil spirit in the sky from afar, and couldn't help but wonder about the extent of the shadow in Watanabe Tsuna's heart. He would probably recall this moment every time he was intimate with a woman for the rest of his life.
