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

This is not something difficult to understand.

After all, Tamamo-no-Mae had previously been nearly taken back to Heian-gu in a prison cart, so naturally she would be afraid of this place.

However, this is enough to prove that the foundation of this formation is Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror.

[You know this means there really is a powerful Onmyoji (yin-yang master) within the palace.]

Looking at the walls of Heian Palace, Ian pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Xiaoyu, since you can sense the mirror's presence, is there a way to get it back into your hand?"

Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Abe."

“I can feel that it is fixed in a certain place... With my current abilities, I am not able to do such a thing.”

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

Ian smiled slightly and patted Tamamo-no-Mae's head.

"After all, if you could do something like that, you wouldn't be by my side now, would you?"

"Um……"

Tamamo-no-Mae, whose head was being patted, seemed slightly happier.

"That Xiaoyu—"

Let's leave here now.

"I understand."

You should leave from the streets near Heian-kyo.

Because of the Genji clan's status, their residence in Tojo-no-jo was not far from Heian-gu Shrine.

But you notice that something seems off about Tamamo-no-Mae.

In fact, Ian had noticed it long ago.

From the moment Tamamo-no-Mae stepped out of the room, she seemed rather strange.

He sensed that Tamamo-no-Mae didn't want him to find out, so he could only pretend he hadn't seen it.

But she doesn't look quite right now—she's clearly about to lose control.

Ian knew what this meant.

The great Onmyoji led Tamamo-no-Mae to the tavern where they first met.

The shoji door was closed, and the fox demon, feeling uneasy, began to feel restless.

"Mr. Abe, this is..."

"Xiaoyu."

Ian looked at the beautiful skirt of Tamamo-no-Mae in front of him.

"Did you stuff the prayer beads inside?"

"Eh?!"

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes widened slightly at that moment.

"No, that's not true! I didn't do anything like that!"

“Lift it up,” Ian commanded.

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Tamamo-no-Mae finally followed Ian's orders and did what she was told.

Just as he had thought.

Beneath the purplish-red mark on her lower abdomen, Tamamo-no-Mae's two treasures were completely filled.

The treasure on top was stuffed with a white towel—which was now soaked with water from inside the treasure.

The treasure below, just like before, revealed a small section of the string of the rosary beads.

"Mr. Abe, I'm sorry."

Knowing that everything could no longer be concealed, Tamamo-no-Mae felt both ashamed and afraid.

"Concubine..."

Before Tamamo-no-Mae could finish speaking, Ian spoke first.

"Xiaoyu, do you really like this?"

"..."

Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head.

"Actually, I don't like it that much."

“But doing so... would make me feel like I’m helping Mr. Abe.”

"after all--"

"Mr. Abe said he really liked the way I performed."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ian sat down in front of Tamamo-no-Mae.

He reached out and tugged at the prayer beads, sometimes pulling them out a little, and sometimes pushing them in a bit.

Tamamo-no-Mae initially bit her lip tightly, but eventually couldn't hold back any longer and could only cry out.

"Migu!"

My legs were trembling, and the towel was gradually becoming bloated.

But she did not reject this kind of manipulation.

This wasn't because Tamamo-no-Mae derived sufficient pleasure from it, but rather because it allowed her to feel that she was genuinely needed by him.

Even if——

Something is not quite right.

"..."

Ian gently pulled the towel off.

The fox demon's legs became the riverbed of a clear spring.

She meticulously sketched the beautiful scenery of the pond on the tatami mat.

Looking at Tamamo-no-Mae, Ian said:

"In that case, Xiaoyu, I think I really need someone like you to make tea for me."

“Alright.” Tamamo-no-Mae nodded. “I will work hard to learn the art of tea.”

“No.” Ian shook his head.

"You don't need to learn that kind of thing."

"Why?" Tamamo-no-Mae asked, somewhat puzzled.

"because--"

The great Onmyoji gently stroked the fox demon's treasure, which had already been fully developed.

"What I lack is a tea set."

"Xiaoyu, may I use your treasure to make tea?"

"As long as the tea tastes good enough... then there's no need to worry about losing the point of staying, right?"

"Eh?!"

Tamamo-no-Mae blushed, but still nodded.

"I...will give it a try."

[You have acquired the Talent Fox Demon Teapot: You have further developed the ways to use Tamamo-no-Mae's treasures.]

She became your personal tea set.

This is a secret known only to you and her.

a few days later.

Two petite figures cautiously made their way through the streets of Kyoto at night.

Those are Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

"Ibaraki."

Shuten-dōji, who was leading the group, looked at the streets of Kyoto, which had returned to normal, with a smug expression.

"We always said the situation in Heian-kyo would be resolved. This is no problem for someone as capable as the old man!"

"Ah."

Ibaraki-dōji nodded.

"I also know that the Onmyoji is indeed very powerful."

“Kozmu ah.”

"We've already returned to Mount Oe, so why should we turn back to Heian-kyo?"

"Huh?!"

Shuten-dōji looked somewhat embarrassed when his friend Ibaraki-dōji asked him about his sore spot.

After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Ibaraki, we need to have some ambition!"

"Heian-kyo is the place we're going to conquer in the future, so isn't it normal to come back early to check the situation?"

"Oh...I see."
