The insatiable human heart is the root of all evil.

147. The Great Onmyoji unlocked another treasure for Tamamo-no-Mae (4,000-word chapter)

You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu returned to the mansion.

You still think about Tamamo-no-Mae.

After all, you've already decided to tell her the truth.

You found an excuse to temporarily leave Minamoto no Yorimitsu's side.

You have arrived at the door of Tamamo-no-Mae's room.

That's across from your and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's room.

"Xiaoyu."

Through the shoji door, Ian called out into the room.

However, no response came.

"..."

Ian paused for a moment, then spoke again:

"Xiaoyu, am I coming in?"

After saying this, the Great Onmyoji did not go in immediately.

He waited a few seconds to make sure there was no sound before opening the door.

no one.

The empty room was devoid of Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Did they go out?"

Ian couldn't help but have this thought, but he quickly dismissed it.

Because it's unlikely that Tamamo-no-Mae will go out.

She didn't have a single friend in Kyoto.

As for loitering or something, Ian didn't think she would do such a thing.

and so--

Tamamo-no-Mae should still be in the mansion.

Ian's idea was quickly confirmed.

Because he heard familiar chanting.

"Migu..."

You looked in the direction from which the sound came.

You discover it originated from your room with Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

On the other side?

Ian looked into the other room—he couldn't have misheard.

What is she doing over there?

You have left the room.

You've arrived on the other side.

You pushed open the shoji door.

With a whoosh.

Ian pulled open the shoji door.

The scene before him was something he had never imagined.

The blankets that Minamoto no Yorimitsu and she usually used to cover themselves with had been neatly folded and placed on the tatami mats to the side.

Tamamo-no-Mae was lying on the bed.

She held Ian's clean clothes in one hand and sniffed them carefully.

Despite the possibly diluted flavor, the lonely fox spirit still wore an expression of rapture.

Her legs were slightly apart.

With his other hand, he was gently fiddling with his fox-themed treasure.

The inside of the fox's treasure was filled with a white towel.

It seems that Tamamo-no-Mae has also mastered the method of being full without overflowing.

only--

The situation at this moment was somewhat delicate for Ian.

The sunlight from outside slanted in and fell squarely on those hands that couldn't bear the loneliness.

Tamamo-no-Mae turned around and saw the Great Onmyoji standing at the door.

In an instant, the fox demon's beautiful golden eyes were filled with panic.

"Mr. Abe, I am..."

however--

Before Tamamo-no-Mae could finish speaking, the Great Onmyoji had already walked up to her.

He bent down, covered her mouth, and then whispered gently in her ear:

"I did not see anything."

"besides."

"Xiaoyu, wait for me in the room tonight."

"Eh?"

Before Tamamo-no-Mae could react, the Great Onmyoji had already stood up and left the room.

Silence returned.

It was as if no one had ever been there.

Only Tamamo-no-Mae remained, sitting on the tatami mat, looking somewhat lost.

You haven't forgotten what you just saw.

But you didn't feel disgusted; instead, you felt somewhat sad for Tamamo-no-Mae.

What do her feelings mean to you?

You are caught in a dilemma.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu noticed your unusual behavior.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at his lover with a worried expression and asked.

"Is the Empress's matter giving you too much of a headache?"

If so—

Minamoto no Yorimitsu took Ian's hand.

“Then my husband can rest for a while first.”

"Given the current situation of our Genji clan, dealing with the Empress is not a difficult task."

"After all, if my husband becomes physically and mentally exhausted as a result, then it would be a loss for him."

"..."

You realize that Fujiwara no Tokuko was actually one of the obstacles to the resurgence of the Minamoto clan.

[After all, they eliminated the faction of "Zao Nu," who had been used as a scapegoat.]

Fujiwara no Tokuko would naturally not give you a friendly look.

You must find a way to solve this problem.

[And Tamamo-no-Mae might be the key to everything.]

Your heart is no longer lost.

"Madam, shall we rest early tonight?"

"I'm a little tired."

“Hmm~” Minamoto no Yorimitsu nodded gently.

"I'm also very tired."

You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu spent some time as husband and wife.

She found no trace of Tamamo-no-Mae having been in the room.

She was truly exhausted.

She's asleep.

You've decided to begin your operation.

late at night.

Ian looked at Minamoto no Yorimitsu sleeping soundly beside his pillow and quietly got up.

He opened the shoji door and then gently closed it again.

The great Onmyoji arrived at the door of the other room and spoke:

"Xiaoyu, may I come in?"

"Yes, it's okay."
