Seimei asked gently, "Ichitaro, Nitaro, and Santaro, are you all alright?"
"No problem! No problem!"
The three Kamaitachi brothers were all very happy, laughing heartily. Seimei smiled and shook his head, truly praising these three little guys. Undeniably, these three were always cheerful, and don't underestimate them! The three Kamaitachi brothers are equivalent to three SR-level shikigami. If you're even slightly weaker, you might get utterly crushed by them! These three little guys are incredibly powerful!
And so, as the three Kamaitachi brothers departed, Seimei watched each departing shikigami with a smile, whispering softly, "How should I put it! This difference that comes from the soul, perhaps this is how every child is born!"
"Hehehe~~~"
A smile appeared on his face, and Seimei gently shook his head, truly unsure of what to say next! But whatever he said, one thing was certain: these three Kamaitachi brothers were absolutely adorable.
"Lord Seimei~~~"
With that lovely voice, Seimei looked tenderly at the very cute child with long, emerald-green hair. But! In reality, Futakuchi-onna was a very cute and gentle girl who always liked to say 'I'm sorry'.
only!
Futakuchi-onna! Futakuchi-onna! Behind Futakuchi-onna's head is a gigantic mouth that can never be satisfied, just like the legendary Taotie. Because of this, each of Futakuchi-onna's friends is gradually devoured, which makes Futakuchi-onna gradually become an unwanted child.
"Hmm~"
Seimei looked at Futakuchi-onna, smiled, and opened one hand, revealing brilliant spiritual energy that transformed into dazzling rays of light. The giant mouth behind Futakuchi-onna's head had gradually disappeared without a trace, and her emerald green hair had become very smooth. Seimei had sealed everything about Futakuchi-onna, or rather, he had perfectly integrated Futakuchi-onna's essence into himself.
This isn't a bad thing for Futakuchi-onna; in fact, it's the best thing! After all, for a gentle girl like Futakuchi-onna, this uncontrollable power isn't a good thing, and for Seimei, achieving this isn't a difficult thing.
"Um?!"
With a cute blink, Futakuchi-onna asked curiously, "Lord Seimei, what just happened? I have a very strange feeling, what is it?"
"No!"

Chapter 203: Lord of Arakawa? This name belongs to that child!
"Lord Seimei~~~"
Seimei gently rubbed Futakuchi-onna's head, and Futakuchi-onna tilted her head cutely. Her obedient and adorable appearance was truly endearing. It must be said! This child may possess considerable power, but! Who would need such a child to fight? She is just a child.
"All right!"
Seimei said gently, "You can go find your friends now, because! There won't be any more instances of your friends disappearing. Don't worry! Futakuchi-onna, such a thing won't happen again."
"Yes!"
"Master Harumi!"
Futakuchi-onna nodded happily. For this simple girl, what she really wanted was a friend, or rather, someone willing to accompany her. However, Futakuchi-onna had never been able to find such a person. For Futakuchi-onna, all of this was too despairing, too despairing and devastating.
"Hehehe~~~"
Seimei watched Futakuchi-onna leave, and gently shook his head. As expected, for this lovely child, all those so-called battles or anything else were meaningless. This child was too innocent and too adorable. Such a child was not suited for all of this. She just needed to live a peaceful life.
"Master Harumi!"
"really!"
"You are always so gentle, no matter the time!"
"Yes!"
As the voice rang out, a little girl and a mature woman emerged, the two sisters stepping out.
Peach Blossom Fairy!
Sakura Fairy!
The two sisters looked at Seimei with different expressions in their eyes. Sakura said gently, "Lord Seimei! I am so sorry for being so rude to meet you again!"
Peach Blossom Fairy! Cherry Blossom Fairy! These two sisters are not good at fighting; they are just two monsters living in the flower forest. They are completely uninterested in anything outside the world. In fact, many monsters are like this, or rather, most monsters are like this.
hmm~~~
The creatures of the yokai are impossible to describe in detail. Many yokai live in seclusion, uninterested in anything outside the world, and equally uninterested in what the future holds.
The two sisters, Cherry Blossom Fairy and Peach Blossom Fairy, are actually typical homebody fairies who are completely uninterested in anything outside the world.
Seimei gently shook his head and said, "It's alright! I'm not particularly concerned about any of this. The peach and cherry blossom groves prepared for you sisters outside Heian-kyo have already been made. There's no need to be too nervous. You just need to live peacefully there."
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Master Qingming!"
Both the cherry blossom fairy and the peach blossom fairy had a smile on their faces as they parted ways. For the two sisters, none of this really mattered; they simply wanted to enjoy their peaceful lives.
actually!
This is true for many yokai. Although they are summoned and possess considerable strength, they are truly unsuitable for combat. Take, for example, shikigami like Futakuchi-onna, Hotaru-gusa, Sakura-you, and Momo-you. They do have considerable strength, but are they truly suited for combat? Undoubtedly, they are simply not.
That's why a peaceful life is more suitable for these shikigami. Rather than sending them to the battlefield, where they might face weaker opponents but would still ultimately be defeated, it's better to let them live peacefully within Wano Country.
Some people are not suitable. For many people, they are just a waste of energy. But for Seimei, it doesn't really matter. He is not someone who particularly values these things. For him, every shikigami he summons is more like a family member.
This is Seimei's personality. He really doesn't care about these things. In any case, these things are irrelevant to him.
Hehehe~~` 〃~
With that faint smile, after the cherry blossom fairy and the peach blossom fairy left, a tall figure gradually emerged. He wore a heavy robe, and although he looked almost exactly like a human, many of his postures bore the distinctive features of the aquatic tribe.
Therefore, the man's identity is beyond doubt; he is a water monster. But who exactly is he? It's already quite obvious!
The man walked to Seimei's side, holding a folding fan, and said calmly, "Seimei, you are always so gentle, no matter what. Perhaps this world is not a good thing for you?"
"Lord of Arakawa!"
With a smile, Seimei said, "It's been a long time! It really has been a long time!"
That's right!
This man is none other than the Lord of Arakawa, the master of Arakawa, the legendary great demon. It can be said that the Lord of Arakawa's strength is absolutely at the level of a demon king, and in terms of reputation, he is perhaps no less powerful than Shuten-dōji, Tamamo-no-Mae, or Ōtengu.
As for why these three are called the Three Great Demons, it's mainly because they caused trouble in a rather detached way. The Lord of Arakawa, on the other hand, basically lived in his own little world of Arakawa and didn't care about anything outside.
at this point!
That's just Arakawa no Nushi's personality; he's always been like this. He really doesn't care about any of this at all. And that's why Arakawa no Nushi's reputation isn't as good as the three of them. Of course, his reputation is among yokai, not among humans. Humans don't have such a great reputation.
Moreover! The Lord of Arakawa's reputation is mostly among the sea monsters on the high seas. All the aquatic creatures have heard of the Lord of Arakawa's name, and they all know how terrifying this man was in his youth and what terrible things he did. Because of this, the Lord of Arakawa's reputation is mainly concentrated in this world. As for the outside world? In fact, not many people know about him.
"The Lord of Arakawa?!"
The Lord of Arakawa shook his head and said, “Seimei, you don’t need to call me by that name anymore. This name is no longer suitable for me. This name is more suitable for that child. She will become the new Lord of Arakawa, and she will truly surpass me. For that child, the future is the most beautiful thing! And she will be able to go even further.”
Lord of Arakawa!
Do not!
Xiaolang!
At this moment, with a smile on his face, he quietly gazed into the distance. He could clearly sense that Arakawa existed within Wano Country, and he could also sense the child's aura. That child's aura was growing stronger, far stronger than it had been before.
Seimei shook his head and said, "Sometimes, it's a good thing to look forward to a child's growth, but! Xiaolang, your approach puts far too much pressure on that child. Everyone grows step by step, and do you really think such immense pressure is a good thing?"
"Hehehe~~~"
Hearing Qingming's words, Xiaolang pondered for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Indeed! People grow step by step. For that child, perhaps this isn't a good thing, but! Facts have proven that it's not a bad thing; she is indeed growing!"
Yes!
Princess Goldfish has gradually grown up. Even after becoming Princess Listening to the Sea, she continues to strive for improvement, transforming herself step by step to become stronger. It's no exaggeration to say that Princess Goldfish has never let her guard down. Every day, she works harder and strives to become stronger. This is Princess Goldfish's belief. She truly dares not let her guard down. For her, Arakawa is her last home!
She absolutely needs to become stronger; only in this way can she protect her home. This is the character of Princess Goldfish. And with this character, Princess Goldfish's growth is incredibly arduous—this is the growth of the heart! For that child from before, perhaps! This child has changed a lot, but! Everything from the past is ultimately gone.
The current Goldfish Princess, like a surging wave, is striving to transform, sailing the vast ocean, seeing more, experiencing more power, and growing stronger step by step, thus possessing even greater strength.
This is the transformation of Princess Goldfish. You could say she's growing, or you could say she's reached her limit. But, whichever you say, it doesn't really matter anymore. For this child, she has truly tried her best.
Seimei spoke softly, “…Princess Goldfish has actually reached the pinnacle of what she can achieve. She is truly outstanding, and her future is full of endless hope. However! I would prefer that she grows up with a serious belief, rather than as she is now.”
Gently shaking his head, Seimei didn't say much, but there was one point! It was very important, and he was very serious about it. It was undeniable that this child was truly outstanding! So outstanding that it left people with a feeling that they didn't know how to describe it.
Goldfish!
This child, despite being a child, has grown up in a short period of time to become the master of Arakawa. In the current Wano Country, Mount Oe, Mount Suzuka, Arakawa, and the Sun Wheel Castle, every place is home to a powerful demon king. Only in Arakawa is Princess Goldfish still growing. Now, Princess Goldfish has grown to a level of strength similar to Yuki-onna.
but!
This is simply not enough strength! She is far too inexperienced. Facing those terrifying monsters, she is simply not up to the task. That is why Princess Goldfish needs to continue to grow, and this path is always extremely difficult, no matter how hard Princess Goldfish continues to work.
Because of this, under such circumstances, Princess Goldfish endures such enormous pressure as she grows step by step. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, as it puts such enormous pressure on the child's growth!

Chapter 204: Princess Goldfish Takes Another Step Forward, Princess Goldfish Steps on the Sea
Snapped!
Snapped!
Under the cover of night, Shuten-dōji, carrying a sake bowl, walked step by step to the mountain peak. A smile had spread across his lips, and his expression was extremely intense. He picked up the sake bowl and drank the sake in one gulp. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. The aura he exuded was extremely terrifying, as if it wanted to cover everything. The entire Mount Ōe was shrouded in Shuten-dōji's domineering aura at this moment.
