In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

Tamamo-no-Mae became increasingly embarrassed as she spoke.

"Won't such a shameless concubine offend Mr. Abe?"

"Nothing."

Ian gently stroked Tamamo-no-Mae's head.

"I just love watching Xiaoyu's splashes in the water."

"really?"

Tamamo-no-Mae grasped Ian's other hand—which still bore traces of the high notes he had played.

"real."

Ian responded to Tamamo-no-Mae.

"But Xiaoyu—"

"Let's stop here for today."

"We still need to familiarize ourselves with some things."

"Eh? I understand."

You brought Tamamo-no-Mae outside.

Because of her past experiences, she was actually somewhat afraid to do it.

You know that.

But you have to do it.

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamo-no-Mae held tightly the hand of the great Onmyoji beside her.

"This is going to..."

"Don't be nervous, Xiaoyu," Ian reassured the fox demon beside him.

"I'm showing you the escape route."

"Escape, escape route?"

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Ian beside her with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Abe, what does this mean?"

"It's a simple truth."

Ian held Tamamo-no-Mae's hand as he explained.

"Xiaoyu, if the previous plans can all proceed smoothly..."

"So what will the final result be?"

"..."

Tamamo-no-Mae lowered her head and began to think for a moment.

The intelligent girl quickly came up with her own answer.

"Mr. Abe, would you 'kill' me, who is bound with rope, in front of everyone, and then use the fake corpse to create a fait accompli?"

"Xiaoyu, it seems you understand my plan."

Ian stared straight ahead at the bustling streets of Kyoto.

"That is indeed the plan."

"so--"

"Xiaoyu, you only have one chance."

"You have to leave by then... or everything will be ruined."

Tamamo-no-Mae understands what you mean.

She nodded and began to memorize the escape route she would need later.

You've gone back and forth several times.

[You only ended the investigation after Tamamo-no-Mae confirmed that she remembered it 100%.]

You take Tamamo-no-Mae to rest.

You and she arrived at a tavern.

You were seated in a prominent position.

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the Grand Onmyoji across the table, a hint of worry appearing in her golden eyes.

"Is it really okay to not avoid other people like this?"

"no problem."

Ian took a sip of the sake on the table.

"This time, there's no need to avoid it."

"But then you'll have a hard time explaining it to your wife, won't you?"

Tamamo-no-Mae did not want to cause trouble for Ian.

"That's exactly what I wanted."

Ian looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who had a worried expression on her face.

"If Lai Guang takes the initiative to come to me, things will actually be simpler."

"Something simpler?"

“Yes.” Ian nodded.

"Xiaoyu, don't forget Laiguang's identity... If she knew that you and I were in contact like this, she would definitely take action."

"In that case—"

Before Ian could finish speaking, Tamamo-no-Mae had already finished the sentence.

"In that case, having her witness everything with you would be more convincing."

"Hmm." Ian smiled slightly. "It's good that you understand, Xiaoyu."

"..."

Tamamo-no-Mae looked around and then gazed at the great Onmyoji before her.

Suddenly, she thought of something and revealed a sly smile.

"In that case——"

“Mr. Ian, shouldn’t you be showing a little more intimacy with me now?”

As Tamamo-no-Mae said this, she filled the cup in front of her with sake.

"So, would you like to share a cup of wine with me?"

"In that case, everyone will definitely notice it."

"……also."

[Tamamo-no-Mae's suggestion was very effective.]

[You two, drinking from the same cup in a prominent position, quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.]

Someone recognized you.

You know these things will soon reach Minamoto no Yorimitsu's side.

But you're not worried.

You even think that we need to increase our efforts further.

evening.

Ian and I spent a whole day shopping at Tamamo-no-Mae and were very satisfied.

"Mr. Abe."

Holding the hand of the great Onmyoji beside her, her eyes were filled with longing.

"Today is the happiest day I've had since arriving in Heian-kyo."

"Thank you."

“After all, we never had the chance to go shopping before,” Ian said, gently stroking Tamamo-no-Mae’s long hair.

"It's not just because of that."

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the great Onmyoji beside her.

"Mr. Abe... it's mostly because of your company."

"I really enjoy being by your side."

"..."

"Let's not talk about that now," Ian interrupted Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Xiaoyu, what you need to think about now is whether you can survive this operation."

"We can discuss any problems later."

"..."

Tamamo-no-Mae remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Ah."

"I know it."

Your affair with Tamamo-no-Mae is escalating.

The news that you have a lover has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Heian-kyo.
