"..."

Ibaraki-dōji felt a sense of comfort as his head was patted.

She suddenly remembered something, so she nestled against Ian's chest, looked up at him, and whispered something.

"Uncle, may I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"that is……"

Ibaraki-dōji looked at Shuten-dōji, who was still unconscious beside him.

"Lord Abe, would you allow Shuten-dōji to enjoy your big stick once more?"

“I…I think she really needs it.”

153. Two demons are rubbing the back of the great Onmyoji (4,000-word chapter)

"..."

Ian knew that Ibaraki-dōji would never speak.

When she made this seemingly outrageous request, it showed that her good friend Shuten-dōji truly longed for it.

only--

"Ibaraki."

Ian placed his hand on Ibaraki-dōji's head.

Her blonde hair had an excellent feel to it; it was soft and silky to the touch.

"I don't think this will work."

"Eh?"

Ibaraki-dōji tilted his head slightly.

"why?"

"Is it that Lord Abe is unwilling to do this? Or is it that Shuten-dōji is not comfortable serving him?"

"Ibaraki... is it really okay for you to be so direct?"

Ian responded somewhat helplessly.

"neither."

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

"Ibaraki, I feel that even if we really have to do something like this... it shouldn't be you speaking up for Shuten-dōji. Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

Ibaraki-dōji did not respond to Ian.

She just stared at the great Onmyoji in front of her, not exactly having any thoughts, but she didn't seem completely unmoved either.

Just then, Shuten-dōji woke up.

"It hurts……"

"Huh?! Uncle?!"

Shuten-dōji looked at Ian with great surprise.

"when did you come?!"

"...It's complicated to explain."

Ian reached out his other hand and placed it on Shuten-dōji's head.

"Anyway, just consider it as me coming to save you."

"Save us..."

Shuten-dōji became somewhat embarrassed.

She actually wanted to ask him if he had come specifically to rescue her, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"By the way, sir, there was someone who looked down on you just now!"

"We're going to teach him a lesson!"

“No need.” Ian glanced at a corner of the palace still burning fiercely in the distance. “He’s already dead.”

"Dead, dead?"

"Let's not talk about that now."

Ian picked up Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji, one on each side.

"Let's get out of here first."

You left the place where you fought the final battle with Ashiya Dōman, accompanied by Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

The fire grew larger and larger, and was quickly noticed.

A firefighting operation has begun.

This was a disaster worthy of being recorded in history; it is known as the Great Fire of Heian-gyu.

The Qifeng Tower and Xiangluan Tower of Heian Palace were completely burned down in this fire.

But compared to the devastation caused by the fire, something else is even more striking.

Those were the dozens of unidentified, charred bodies discovered after the fire was extinguished.

No one can understand why there are so many unidentified corpses inside Heian-gu Shrine.

Only Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed to realize something.

The next day, she brought it up with you.

"Husband."

While making tea, Minamoto no Yorimitsu asked softly.

"That fire...was it your doing?"

“As expected, nothing can hide it from the lady’s eyes.” Ian didn’t try to hide it.

"Yes, madam, this fire is indeed related to me."

"Why do this?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu handed the brewed tea to Ian.

The latter accepted the tea and replied.

"Madam, this is what happened."

You told Minamoto no Yorimitsu about your affair with Ashiya Dōman.

Of course, you didn't mention the infiltration by Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

[You also concealed the matter of Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror.]

You originally thought Minamoto no Yorimitsu would be surprised by this.

But her reaction was quite indifferent.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, my husband."

"Madam, don't you have any doubts about this?"

"Confuse?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled and shook his head.

"No, that's not the case."

"My husband chose to do this."

"As his wife, I should believe it."

Hearing this, Ian looked at Minamoto no Yorimitsu in front of him, his eyes filled with deep emotion.

"Lai Guang, meeting you is truly the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life."

"is it?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's cheeks flushed.

Life is like the first time we met.

Even after all these years, she still finds herself captivated by the words and actions of this great Onmyoji.

Every compliment from him is a cherished memory.

"It's wonderful that I can bring good luck to my husband."

[A strangely talented couple + has been replaced with the Song of Genji +: Your relationship with Minamoto no Yorimitsu is extremely deep, and waka poems about you are being sung in Kyoto.]

The investigation into the Heian-kyo fire is still ongoing.

[To protect you.]

[This was also to prevent the last "Fujiwara no Tokuko" from doing anything unexpected.]

[Minamoto no Yorimitsu volunteered to participate in this matter.]

This made her even busier; sometimes she even had to patrol outside at night.

You are simultaneously carrying out your plan.

You have found Tamamo-no-Mae.

You returned the mirror to her.

"Xiaoyu."

Ian looked at Tamamo-no-Mae in front of him and the mirror in her hand.

"Is that it?"
