I look at the massive wall of Uruk. I turn back and see the people I protect look at the wall in relief and shock.
"This is it, Uruk. You can go through the gate and be protected from the Demonic Beasts."
Nabinu, the leader of the group, looks at and kneels in front of . I held back a sigh because the last ti I sighed, they had a panic attack because they thought they would disappoint and were even willing to die for it.
The people of this era are very different from the people back ho.
"Thank you, Lord Ningishzida! Thank you for protecting us and taking us here. How may we pay for this kindness?"
"Get up."
I see him get up and continue.
"Live and protect each other. The greatest paynt to is for you to continue to live. Go old and have a child by protecting each other. That is the paynt for my service."
He looks at and nods his head.
"Thank you, O God of Life and Protection! We shall spread your na and follow your teaching!"
I only nod and watch them leave . While walking, they continue to look at , and when they are far away, I walk away. I need to return to my base and search for another ingredient for the card. I already got two of them and only need three more before I need to leave this place.
I walk through the forest, but my Senjutsu catches sothing from the east. I stop and say.
"You can show yourself. I know you guys are there."
I turn to the right and see a group of people walking out of the trees. My eyes widen when I see a familiar person walking among the group. She is short, with golden hair and a pair of horns coming out of her forehead. She is wearing clothing that cos from Japan instead of sopotamia.
"Kehahaha! This is the first ti I see a dragon protecting humans!"
This woman is Ibaraki-Douji, the leader of Oni of Mt. Ooe. I forget that Gilgash summoned her but decided to rebel and beco a bandit.
"And I never think an Oni as famous as you will appear in this place."
"Hah! Are you one of the servants, Dragon?"
"The na is Ryan, and no. I am a living person."
"Oh, really?"
She walks toward and starts to sniff .
"Oh? What is this? The sll of a youkai! Are you a mate of a youkai? I can sll you being claid by one."
She grins and says.
"Who is it?"
"I am a mate of the leader of Kyoto's Youkai."
"Kyoto, eh? How in the hell does she survive? That place is full of those bastards, Onmyouji."
"Well, she is known as the strongest youkai in Japan, and kicking them is not a problem."
"The strongest? Really? What kind of Youkai is she?"
"Nine-Tailed Fox"
She looks at in shock and searches for deception. Seeing none, she throws her face up and laughs loudly.
"Kehahaha! That is great! Is she Tamamo? I might hate her, but she is strong."
"Nah. Another nine-tailed fox. Not even her descendants."
"Great! This is great! I like you, Ryan. Let take you to my base and have a party. You are the first non-human who is proud of his identity. There is one Oni who hides her true self. That is no fun. Che."
I shrug and follow her to a cave underneath the cliff. We entered the cave, and I could see a lot of things inside. However, what caught my attention was the massive chunk of tal I needed. It is a tal from space that falls here.
"What? That thing caught your attention, huh? You need to give sothing more for that thing."
I think for a few seconds before taking out a massive jug of sake. She widens her eyes and grins at the sll of sake.
"Sake! You have sake! Perfect! Take that thing and give that sake."
I give her the sake, and she raises it to the air.
"Let's have a party!"

|3rd POV|
Sothing has been bothering Gilgash lately. As the king who sees all, he can see a lot of things. It is the eyes that can see through all creation. However, sothing weird is happening. Among them is how the people say that Ningishzida helps refugees from across the land and protects them from any demonic beasts so they can arrive at Uruk.
However, his eyes cannot see the false Ningishzida. His eyes cannot see a dragon, especially a Dragon God, helping people even when that said dragon is known as the Dragon of Life and Protection. No God will lower themselves to help a group of humans without any compensation.
He had already talked to all the refugees that the so-called Ningishzida had helped. The False God only asks them to live and continue their bloodline.
It is his domain, but Gilgash knows no Gods want humans to perform the actions that humans will do even without being told.
However, that is not the weirdest part. He sees a certain Oni change her mind and start to help people for a fee instead of robbing them or killing them. He knows this change of behavior is because of this mysterious thing.
He releases a sigh and opens his eyes when he sees a white-haired woman walking toward the throne.
"Your Highness, Archer is here."
Gilgash nods his head, looks at Archer, and says.
"Archer, I need you to visit the forest in the north."
"Is there a strong monster I need to kill, Your Highness?"
"No. I need you to find the Yellow-Haired Oni."
Archer freezes and frowns at the ntion of Ibaraki.
"Ibaraki, huh? Is she causing too much damage, Your Highness?"
"No. She does not cause trouble but rather the opposite. She has been cleaning the forest, which is taking a toll on anyone going through that place. Instead of robbing the people, she cleaned the forest and let the people walk for a fee."
Archer looks at him in shock and says.
"Why? Why did she decide to change her mind?"
"And that is the reason why I call you."
Gilgash looks at Archer and says,
"Tomoe Gozen. I need you to search Ibaraki-Douji and find the reason for her behavior change."
