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

"..."

You know that if you don't explain things clearly, Tamamo-no-Mae will absolutely not accept this arrangement.

You didn't hesitate any longer.

You decide to tell Tamamo-no-Mae the whole truth.

"Xiaoyu, that's about it."

Ian hugged Tamamo-no-Mae tightly, his voice becoming even lower.

"I hope... you can understand what I'm thinking."

"this--"

Upon learning the truth, Tamamo-no-Mae had completely lost the excitement and joy she felt when she was being lectured.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at him.

"Mr. Abe, please don't joke with me about such things."

"How could the result of communication through a mirror be like this?"

"..."

Ian had anticipated that Tamamo-no-Mae would react this way.

"Xiaoyu, I know this is hard for you to accept."

"but--"

"This is something I have to do."

"And I... hope that this choice will not affect your future life, Xiaoyu, so I hope you can get that identity."

"Of course, if Xiaoyu wants to leave Kyoto, that's also a good option."

"I will support you too."

"..."

Looking at him, Tamamo-no-Mae realized that nothing could be changed.

Crystalline tears slid down from those beautiful eyes and dripped onto the already damp cloth.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she fell silent.

Ian felt sorry for her, but all he could do was apologize.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu."

"I... betrayed your feelings."

"..."

Having recovered, Tamamo-no-Mae forced a smile.

"Nothing."

"After all, if it weren't for Mr. Abe... I wouldn't be qualified to sit here and admire the cherry blossoms in Kyoto right now."

"Everything I have right now is thanks to Mr. Abe."

"What right do I, a mere concubine, have to complain about all of this?"

"only--"

The fox spirit leaned against the great Onmyoji, listening to his heartbeat.

Having regained control over her pleasure, she felt no joy whatsoever.

"Mr. Abe, may I make one more request?"

"Xiaoyu, just tell me. As long as it's within my power, I'll do it for you."

"Mr. Abe, you can definitely do it."

Tamamo-no-Mae reached out and caught a cherry blossom petal, then placed it on Ian's hand.

"After the crowd disperses... treat me like a real wife. Caress me properly."

"I want to remember that feeling."

Ian did not answer Tamamo-no-Mae.

He simply hugged her silently and nodded.

You and Tamamo-no-Mae admired the cherry blossoms like a real married couple.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

In the end, only you, amidst the crimson cherry blossoms, remained.

Do you know the pain your choice will bring to Tamamo-no-Mae?

You realize you really need to satisfy her this once.

Tamamo-no-Mae lay down on the cloth under the cherry blossom tree.

Before her stood the great Onmyoji she had longed for day and night in the past season.

"Mr. Abe."

"Please treat me well."

"..."

Ian didn't say anything more.

Actions speak louder than words.

The ribbon at the waist of the kimono was gently untied, and the fox demon's body lay like a delicacy in the fine kimono fabric.

Ian looked at her, a thousand thoughts surging within him.

But when the words came out, all that remained was a vulgar compliment.

"Xiaoyu, you look so beautiful."

"is it?"

Tamamo-no-Mae wrapped her arms around the neck of the Great Onmyoji.

A wave of regret washed over her beautiful golden eyes.

"Is Mr. Abe only now discovering my beauty?"

“No.” Ian shook his head.

“I’ve always known that, but I had some reservations.”

"..."

"..."

The great Onmyoji and the fox demon locked eyes.

They grew closer and closer until they were completely united, inseparable.

"Mr. Abe, you've been seduced by me after all."

Tamamo-no-Mae felt the warmth in her lower abdomen as she uttered those shameful words between lovers. Tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

千;寻!免'费'小."说?"裙.2:5.!5":5.:9";5,3?0:0!. "千!寻,小,.说?!中':转"裙'5"5!4,,7?!0.7..5':5.5这是她唯一一次希望自己曾经做过的那些梦化作现实的时刻。

If only I could have made the great Onmyoji in front of me lose his mind sooner.

Then there would be no so-called sacrifice at this time.

but--

There are no "what ifs" in this world.

She will not become a wicked and alluring fox spirit.

And he was destined to pay the price for saving her.

only--

Within her means, she still hoped he could stay by her side a little longer.

"Mr. Abe, may we do it again?"

"I... love the feeling of being intertwined with you."

Beneath the cherry blossom tree, the fox spirit's mournful cries echoed for a long time before fading away.

Even the sounds of spring cannot outweigh that sorrow.

Tamamo-no-Mae has finally agreed to your arrangement.

She will be the last "Fujiwara no Tokuko".

Thanks to your meticulous planning, Minamoto no Yorimitsu will no longer suspect her, and no one will link the Retired Emperor's death to her.

This will ensure that she can live in a comfortable environment from now on.

This is your parting gift.

But there's more to it than just that.

[Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji are also characters you need to assign to your team.]

"Huh? You bought this for us and Ibaraki?"

Shuten-dōji looked at the magnificent mansion before him, somewhat unable to believe what he was hearing.

"Ah."

Ian nodded, dispelling Shuten-dōji's concerns.

"You guys go in and take a look first."

"……All right."

As soon as he entered the mansion, Shuten-dōji smelled a faint aroma of sake.

The little imp's nose twitched, and then she began to search around the mansion.
