Minamoto no Yorimitsu's "Motherly" Assistance / The Strange Kintaro

[Listening to Usui Sadamitsu's description of Kintaro, no clear image of an oni appeared in your mind.]

[Your intuition told you that things might not be as simple as Usui Sadamitsu described.]

[You decided to find out what was really going on.]

"Sadamitsu, where is he now?"

"I temporarily locked him in a cage," Usui Sadamitsu replied truthfully. "I didn't dare let him appear on the streets of Kyoto."

"Then take me to see him now."

"Yes, adoptive father."

[Led by Usui Sadamitsu, you walked through the streets of Kyoto and arrived at a relatively remote place.]

[You saw the Kintaro that Usui Sadamitsu was talking about.]

It had to be said,

Usui Sadamitsu, who had once slain a serpent, was indeed quite capable.

Locked in the cage was a tall, muscular man with golden hair and blue eyes.

His bare upper body was covered in scars and wounds, a shocking sight.

His face was fierce, enough to make ordinary people tremble with fear.

By human standards, he was indeed very similar to an "oni."

However—

Looking at him, Ian was certain of one thing.

Not an oni.

This guy called Kintaro was not an oni.

"Adoptive father? Adoptive father! Adoptive father?!"

Usui Sadamitsu called out three times before bringing Ian back from his thoughts.

"Adoptive father, what's wrong?"

"Ahem." Ian cleared his throat. "Nothing."

"Sadamitsu, where did you catch him?"

"This..."

Hearing his father's words, Usui Sadamitsu thought for a moment and then replied.

"I received a message that a man-eating mountain witch was appearing on a mountain."

"After dealing with it, I saw this guy—he was sleeping under a tree at the time."

"..."

A reasonable but unexpected answer.

After all, this guy didn't look easy to mess with (oni), and without such an accident, it would have been difficult to bring him back.

Ian thought for a moment and then asked.

"Then, Sadamitsu, did anything unusual happen along the way?"

"Reporting to adoptive father."

Usui Sadamitsu glanced at Kintaro in the cage, his expression somewhat subtle.

"Nothing unusual happened."

"If I had to say—"

"He doesn't seem to realize he's been caught... he keeps smiling at me."

"This..."

[You realized that the Kintaro in front of you was a bit strange.]

[You felt that you had to investigate further.]

[You decided to spend some time talking to Kintaro alone.]

"Sadamitsu, you can leave now."

"I want to talk to this guy alone."

Although he had many questions, Usui Sadamitsu knew he had no right to question Ian.

"Understood, adoptive father."

He said goodbye and left.

The surroundings became quiet, leaving only Ian and Kintaro in the cage.

Following his inner thoughts, he wanted to talk to the big guy—a person brought back from a supposedly haunted mountain was definitely worth questioning.

But soon, the great onmyoji found that this method didn't work.

Because no matter what he said, the other person responded with a silly smile.

And a simple reply.

"Kintaro thinks that's right."—this was probably how Usui Sadamitsu named him.

And perhaps as he said,

Kintaro didn't realize he had been caught.

In this case, how could he communicate with him?

[You decided not to waste time for now.]

[You knew you should look for new methods.]

[You mentioned this to Minamoto no Yorimitsu.]

At night.

"Eh?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu, beside Ian's pillow, looked surprised.

"Sadamitsu caught someone who can't communicate?"

"Yes..."

Ian looked at the ceiling while laying on the soft pillow beside his wife, the silly smile of Kintaro still appearing in his mind.

He had a headache.

"No matter what I ask, he answers with the same behavior... it's really strange."

"This..."

Hearing Ian's words, Minamoto no Yorimitsu frowned and began to think seriously.

Soon, she had an idea.

"Then, husband—"

"Why don't you try communicating with him from a different angle?"

"A different angle?"

Ian looked at the person beside his pillow.

"Wife, what do you mean?"

"Think about it." Lying on the pillow, Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked straight at him.

"You want to communicate with him, but he just smiles at you."

"That means this method doesn't work."

"And there are other ways to attract attention besides talking... if you show him something attractive enough, it will have a similar effect."

"In that way, maybe you can communicate?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's words suddenly enlightened Ian.

"Wife, you're right."

"But it sounds like playing with a child."

"You're right, husband."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu didn't hide her thoughts.

"This is indeed what I learned while learning to be a mother."

"Husband, you said."

"I am the eldest daughter of the Minamoto clan, and I must not be weak."

"So—"

"Whether as a 'wife' or a 'mother,' I am trying hard to learn how to do it."

[The talent "Strange Couple" has been enhanced to "Strange Couple+": You found that taking care of you as a "mother" seems to have become one of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's spiritual pillars.]

[She gained a lot of joy from it.]

[Her life became more meaningful.]

[You also felt that this was not a bad thing.]

[Following Minamoto no Yorimitsu's idea, you prepared to attract Kintaro's attention with objects.]

To be honest.

If Kintaro was really an oni, Ian wouldn't have a headache.

After all, the birth of oni was often closely related to the "thought" attached to them.

As long as you could find the "thought," you wouldn't have to worry about not killing the oni or not being able to communicate with them.

But the problem was that Kintaro only looked like an oni.

The methods that onmyoji were good at were completely useless to him.

So—

To maximize the possibility of communication.

Ian prepared many eye-catching things.

Jade, antiques, famous paintings, etc.

They were all things that easily attracted the attention of ordinary people.

Ian showed these things to Kintaro one by one, trying to promote communication.

But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.

These things, which were very attractive to ordinary people, seemed to be meaningless to Kintaro.

He just watched Ian pass them in front of him, and then let out a series of silly laughs.

He had no malice.

But it was unacceptable to the great onmyoji.

Ian realized that his mental state was a bit abnormal—perhaps even worse than a child.

Was he going to fail again?

Just as Ian was thinking this, things took a turn for the better.

It was the last item he had prepared—a piece of gold.

Ian didn't plan to bring it at first.

He only brought it with him because he thought it wouldn't hurt to have it.

But—

Ian quickly found that Kintaro was interested in it.

Wherever he moved the gold, Kintaro's eyes followed.

Noticing this, the great onmyoji asked tentatively.

"Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Kintaro replied.

[This was the first time you saw Kintaro give a different answer.]

[You realized that Minamoto no Yorimitsu's idea was right.]

[She was indeed very good at thinking as a "mother"—this was also an unexpected gain.]

[You gave the gold to Kintaro.]

[You found that his eyes towards you had changed.]

[But he still seemed to have trouble answering your questions.]

[You decided to try again and asked someone to bring more gold.]

[But Kintaro refused.]

[You were in trouble again.]

[You decided to ask Minamoto no Yorimitsu for help again.]

"He won't take any more gold?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu touched her chin, tilted her head slightly, and asked.

"Yes, he took the first one, but he won't take any more."

Ian had a headache.

For him, dealing with people was quite troublesome.

Now it was even more complicated.

"Then—"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu dragged out her voice.

"Could it be because he's very polite?"

"Po-polite?"

Ian heard another unheard-of perspective from his wife.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it, husband." Minamoto no Yorimitsu explained "Since Kintaro's mental state is at the level of a child, you can't understand his thoughts from an adult's perspective."

"He took the first one because he thought it was your way of showing friendship."

"He didn't take the others because he thought it was impolite."

"..."

Although it sounded absurd at first, Ian found it made sense after careful consideration.

This was Minamoto no Yorimitsu's unique perspective.

But with this, a new problem arose.

"Wife, what should I do next?"

Ian asked further.

"Well... in that case."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at him.

"I think you might need to make him realize that you are the same kind of person."

"The same kind of person?"

"Yes." Minamoto no Yorimitsu nodded. "As long as he can accept you, you can continue to communicate."

"As for how to do it—"

"I think you can do it by holding a piece of gold and saying it's yours."

"..."

"Husband, what's with that look? Is my idea still absurd?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

"I just think your mastery of being a 'mother' is a little beyond my imagination."

"Of course."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu replied with some pride.

"Because I promised you I wouldn't be weak... so I will try my best to do it."

"I hope that one day—"

"As a mother, I will also receive your affection."

"You already have."

"Re-really?"

"Yes."

Ian took Minamoto no Yorimitsu's hand and gently pressed it against a warm spot.

"Whether as a 'wife' or a 'mother,' I have the same desire."

"Then—"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu applied a little pressure with her hand and then slid it up and down.

Untill it reached a intresting place.

"Let Mom see what you need."

She said with a blush but her hands were totally bold.

She untied his kimono and rubbed his dick with her bare hands and whispered again.

"Ah~look excited you are seems like you want mommy to pamper you".

Ian grunted slightly and answered with a pleading tone.

"Yes Mommy pamper me lots".

Gone was the regalness of respectable onmyoji couple.

All remained was strange couple who had quite interesting taste.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu replied with deep breaths to Ian's pleading.

"Then my Lil hubby prepare to receive mom's love".

As she said her lips connected with his dick and gobbled it down completely.

She deeply sucked on it like a delicacy.

Her hands on the other hands played with his balls.

Sounds of wet slurping echoed in the room.

Fortunately no one actually awake as everyone asleep.

Or else the eccentricity of the couple would spread to all of kyoto.

[You spent an indescribable night.]

[Minamoto no Yorimitsu was greatly satisfied with your care.]

[Your marital relationship is still praised.]

[But you didn't forget what you had to do.]

[Following Minamoto no Yorimitsu's idea, you began to act.]

[You came to him with a piece of gold similar to the one you gave him.]

Kintaro was no longer resistant to Ian's arrival.

The big guy, who had been released from the cage, was still being watched by the people around him, but his range of movement had increased significantly.

Holding the gold, he stared blankly as Ian walked towards him.

The great onmyoji took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then bent down, showing Kintaro his gold as Minamoto no Yorimitsu had suggested.

He smiled and spoke as friendly as possible.

"This time it's not for you."

"This is mine—like you, I also have a piece of gold."

[You said what Minamoto no Yorimitsu told you.]

[You looked forward to its effect.]

[Your expectations were not disappointed.]

[Kintaro indeed had a new reaction.]

"Great!"

"You have, I have."

Saying this, Kintaro happily waved the gold he was holding at Ian.

"Everyone has!"

Although Kintaro's appearance was fierce, so much so that his words were somewhat frightening.

But Ian could feel that he was genuinely happy that "he and Ian both had gold."

In a sense—

He was quite honest.

Ian's opinion of Kintaro improved slightly.

"Yes, we all have gold."

"Now, can we talk?"

"Yes, hehe, yes."

Kintaro smiled, a mixture of friendliness and ferocity, and patted the grass beside him.

"Sit, you sit!"

"..."

Realizing that this was Kintaro's way of showing goodwill, Ian, who had originally wanted to take him elsewhere, could only change his plans and sit down on the grass with him.

However—

What happened next was somewhat unexpected.

As soon as he sat down, Kintaro, holding the gold, began to chatter to the great onmyoji beside him.

"Gold shiny!"

"Pretty!"

"Want her to see too!"

"..."

Although it was just a simple sentence, Ian noticed the subtle nuance.

"Her?"

"Kintaro, you mean..."

Before Ian could finish asking, Kintaro said happily:

"Child!"

"Pretty thing, I want Child to see too!"

"Can you help me?"
