She turned around and her tone became more shy, completely losing the air of a great general.

"So--"

"Surely my husband is ready now?"

"Ah."

Listening to Ian's slow footsteps, Minamoto no Raikou's expression became more and more excited.

She had already imagined how happy the other person would be the moment he understood her feelings.

This is...

Years of accumulated ideas.

It will definitely make him linger.

only--

The result was quite different from what Minamoto no Raikou had expected.

Ian did indeed do some of the things she had hoped for.

but……

It was a result she had never expected.

Or should I say...

It's a misplaced expectation.

"Husband...there...it's impossible to have children there, right?"

"But if my husband likes it, it's not impossible - we can develop it together until you are satisfied."

"After all, everything I have already belongs to my husband."

"..."

"No." Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou, who was still extremely happy, "I just want to tell my wife that everything is different from before."

"Although it is cruel—"

"But could you please wake up from this dream, Madam?"

886. (End of Volume 4) Minamoto no Yorimitsu's Liberation, Abigail's Blessing (k)

"..."

"what are you saying……?"

Minamoto no Raikou turned around and looked at him behind him.

"What do you mean this is a dream—?!"

"Husband, this is not a dream!"

"We're... back together, aren't we?"

"but……"

"Don't you really know the price of this?"

Ian's hand gently stroked Minamoto no Raikou's waist without any unnecessary movement.

"Yakou..."

"I did think of you, but...we can't meet like this."

"Kyoto will be destroyed."

"..."

[Your words seem to have had a huge impact on Minamoto no Raikou.]

[You can feel that the surrounding environment has begun to change extremely drastically since you said this.]

You realize that your words and actions are changing everything.

"Why can't we meet like this—!"

Minamoto no Raikou almost shouted.

"My husband is obviously thinking about me, and I am thinking about him too - so isn't it natural for us to meet?"

"But is this really what you expected?"

Ian, who had already recalled many things, sighed at this moment.

"Yakou——"

"What you're looking forward to is probably a happy and peaceful Kyoto, right?"

"But now..."

Ian concentrated his strength, and then a ball of fire appeared in his hand.

Then, it flew in all directions like a meteor, until everything it touched was set on fire.

"Is it really okay?!"

As the flames swept through the interior of the cherry tree, the previously obscured exterior scene was now revealed to Minamoto no Raikou's eyes.

In the cherry blossom season, Kyoto looks like it has been destroyed.

The houses were crumbling, and the corroded areas were devouring the corpses on the surface, silently dissolving them in such fear.

The so-called cherry blossoms have now become a symbol of death. The moment they touch living things, they make them dance with death.

"Why is this happening?"

"because……"

Ian paused, as if considering whether it was reasonable for him to say so.

"What you are doing, Raikou, is something that goes against common sense."

"It's impossible for a dead person to appear in that capacity again."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes widened at that moment.

It was a kind of despair, a kind of sadness when dreams were shattered in the early morning.

"how so……"

"what did I do……"

"..."

You know Minamoto no Raikou did something horrible.

[That was the ultimate despair of summoning Abigail to destroy everything in Kyoto for his own wish.]

[And the Holy Grail in her hand is the wish that will make all of this come true.]

[But such a wish is naturally against common sense.]

【so--】

[At the same time as Abigail was born, "Ugly Gozen" also appeared - another "Minamoto no Raikou" who knew he could never do this.]

【Then, it was the process of Ugly Gozen seeking help. 】

【Finally, this is the result.】

【But you can't blame Minamoto no Raikou at all. 】

[After all, she just missed you too much.]

"What am I doing..."

Minamoto no Raikou's voice was trembling, and his body also reacted accordingly.

"how so……"

After all, she was a general from the past, and she had a very special feeling for this homeland.

"You get it, Raikou."

"This... won't work."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou fell silent.

After a long while, she spoke again:

"Husband...how could I not know such a thing?"

"But, that way I can see you——"

"Even if it becomes like this, it's still okay, right?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked back at Ian, who had become one with him, his eyes full of pleading.

"Husband, stay with me forever, will you?"

"We had fun day and night, doing everything we hadn't had time to do before."

"I...besides that, there are other ways to make you happy."

tear-

tear-

The cherry tree began to shake, and the places that were originally passed by the burning sparks began to repair themselves bit by bit.

It seemed as if it would soon return to its original state.

But at this moment——

Minamoto no Raikou suddenly felt a sense of impact from bottom to top.

"Husband, you..." She was a little happy, "Are you going to agree to me?!"

"Stay here with me... forever!"

"No, Raikou."

Ian shook his head.

"I just--"

"I want to end this."

"Then at least... before that, I'll let you be a little happy for once."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou had not expected that the seemingly extremely pleasurable impact was actually his farewell to himself.

"Husband, do you dislike me that much?"

"No, I like you very much."

Ian's hand gently stroked Minamoto no Raikou's waist, as if he was touching some beautiful jade.

"I like you more than anyone else in the world."

"Just because we like someone doesn't mean we can do whatever we want. Although we've made a lot of mistakes now, we can still make amends."

"This can't go on... We shouldn't be meeting under these circumstances."

"But if I miss this opportunity, I'll never have another chance!" Minamoto no Raikou finally cried out hysterically, "Husband, do you know how long I've been waiting?!"

"I know, of course I know."

"But Raikou—"

Ian left his kisses on her fair back.

"I don't want you to be a sinner, either in the past or in the future."

"You... shouldn't have to bear all this."
