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

"I see."

"That--"

"Xiaoyu... let's get married."

With the most sincere promise, Ian lowered his head and kissed Tamamo-no-Mae, who had wanted to marry him from the past to the present.

He tasted her lips once more—they had a delicate fragrance like cherry blossoms.

This time, he no longer resisted, and the kiss was even more passionate.

The bond forged in the Heian period has blossomed into its most beautiful form in Chaldea.

A passionate kiss bound the two together until they could no longer breathe.

"Mr. Abe~"

The usually gentle and refined Tamamo-no-Mae could no longer control her emotions at this moment.

She sat on the man's lap, looking at him through teary eyes.

"I... can finally marry you."

"I'm sorry." Ian reached out and stroked Tamamo-no-Mae's incredibly soft, cherry-pink hair.

"I've kept you waiting for so long."

"That's not true." The fox spirit pressed against the man's chest. "As long as I can marry Mr. Abe... I'm willing to wait as long as it takes."

"is it?"

Ian hugged Tamamo-no-Mae, who was standing in front of him.

"Then... you won't have to wait anymore."

"Mmm~" the fox demon responded with tears in her eyes.

Then, she raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with a shy expression.

"Mr. Abe."

"Actually... I have prepared some things specifically for today's wedding."

"Have you prepared anything?"

Ian looked at his beautiful wife Tamamo-no-Mae in his arms, his eyes showing some doubt.

"what?"

"Hmm..." Tamamo-no-Mae's cheeks flushed even more, looking very ashamed.

But she still spoke:

"Mr. Abe."

"Do you remember when we were in Heian-kyo, you taught me how to make tea?"

"Now--"

"I have already brewed a pot of the finest tea, and I am waiting for you to enjoy it."

"Tea?"

Ian knew that Chaldea did indeed have a stockpile of tea.

But at this moment, where else is there to serve tea, except for Tamamo-no-Mae in her wedding dress?

Hey, wait!

The man looked at the fox demon before him, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and asked in a low voice:

"Xiaoyu."

"You...you're not still brewing tea that way, are you?"

"Mr. Abe, you really do remember!" Tamamo-no-Mae's tail under her wedding dress began to wag.

"Yes."

"I...have never forgotten Mr. Abe's teachings, and now I finally have a chance to put them to use!"

"..."

Ian did not answer Tamamo-no-Mae, but instead verified it himself.

Soon, the man found the towel.

Since all the towels used in Chaldea are of the same standard, he would never mistake the feel of them.

Feeling the same immersion method as it had been long ago, Ian's eyes trembled as he looked at Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Xiaoyu, you..."

“Mr. Abe.” Tamamo-no-Mae’s voice was trembling with shame and was almost unrecognizable.

"On those nights when I can't see you."

"This is how I spent those lonely times... until now, when I was able to meet Mr. Abe again."

"Although I know it might not be a good idea to say it like this."

"but--"

Tamamo-no-Mae leaned completely against Ian, exuding only allure.

"May I ask Mr. Abe to... temporarily forget everything and enjoy the tea I have brewed in the most appropriate way?"

"..."

"I see."

Under Tamamo-no-Mae's loving gaze, Ian slowly pulled out the towel that served as the lid of the teapot.

He held the fox demon's extremely blushing cheeks, made her slightly open her mouth, forming an adorable "○" shape, and then gently stuffed the towel, which was filled with the fragrance of cherry blossoms and tea, into her mouth to store it.

"That--"

"I'll have to enjoy the tea that you spent so long brewing, Xiaoyu."

"Woo~"

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded, then her hand rested on the hem of her wedding dress.

Everything is silent, only the tea that evokes memories of the past remains.

It turns out.

After Ian left, Tamamo-no-Mae did indeed study the tea ceremony very well.

Especially regarding tea temperature.

She achieved the perfect balance of being warm but not scalding, hot but not burning.

As Ian savored the tea she had brewed, he felt completely relaxed, his nerves soothing from the bottom up.

It felt as if I had entered a lush green tea plantation.

In addition, Tamamo-no-Mae's tea-serving posture was so elegant and just right.

The man could only offer exquisite praise time and time again, ultimately bestowing upon this fox spirit tea the highest honor of white.

Ian retrieved the towel from between Tamamo-no-Mae's lips and carefully placed it back into the Fox Treasure, allowing it to continue functioning as a teapot lid.

He held the fox spirit's hands in his arms and gently kissed her forehead.

"Xiaoyu, thank you for your hard work."

“No, that’s not true.” Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head, blushing. “Being able to serve Mr. Abe well… is my greatest happiness.”

"so--"

"Please, Mr. Abe, do not regard this matter as a burden to me."

"That would be my greatest burden."

“Is that so?” Ian smiled slightly. “I understand.”

"but--"

"Xiaoyu, you were so looking forward to your wedding... but now it's so shabby. I'm so sorry."

"Nothing."

Tamamo-no-Mae gently rubbed her head against Ian's chest, as if she were being affectionate.

"Mr. Abe."

"This is actually the best treatment I can receive at this time."

"How could this be the best treatment?"

Ian's eyes showed a hint of guilt, and his voice trembled slightly.

This is a situation that even Joan of Arc couldn't match at that time.

"Everything needed for the wedding wasn't prepared at all... how can you say it's the best treatment?"

"Xiaoyu, I know you're very considerate, but you don't need to go to such lengths to make me happy."

"I didn't do anything to make you happy."

Tamamo-no-Mae responded to Ian in a very serious tone.

"But that's really the case."

“Mr. Abe, everyone is doing their best to help me.”

"Help them with all your might?" Ian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Mm." Tamamo-no-Mae nodded.

"The tea I am drinking now was brewed by Miss Mashu."

"And the towel was provided by Mordred."

"As for the wedding dress, it was Miss Olga Marie who suggested it to me."

"Miss Fujimaru Ritsuka, who cannot provide these, is willing to help me brew tea... although it is slightly inaccurate."
