The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Ian couldn't help but wonder if he had really seen something wrong.

but--

He hoped it wasn't fake.

He wanted to see her again.

After all, that sad look always made him feel that there was some unknown secret behind her.

【Your wish has not come true after all. 】

【Things developed just as Minamoto no Raikou predicted. 】

[Because of her, you were able to lead a group of foot soldiers to search the city. ]

[This is something worth being happy about - after all, it can be considered as being reused in a certain sense. ]

[But your life has become a little strange because you frequently appear on the streets of Kyoto. ]

[It seems like someone is watching you secretly. ]

here we go again--

The kind of gaze that came from nowhere.

Ian frowned slightly.

This was not the first time he had felt this kind of gaze.

Ever since he took over some of the foot soldiers, he would feel this kind of gaze from time to time.

And as time goes by, this sight appears more and more frequently.

But this is not the most serious problem.

But I couldn't detect the source of the gaze.

If I have to describe it——

It was as if the owner of this gaze had taken the initiative to conceal his own breath.

If it weren't for my identity as an Onmyoji, whose sharp senses were developed.

Maybe you won’t even be able to discover that you’re being monitored.

[You realize there might be something wrong.]

[You must find out the owner of this gaze.]

You took action immediately.

"Just do as I say first." Ian ordered the foot soldiers around him.

"Yes! Lord Abe!"

The foot soldiers dispersed.

Ian's side became quiet again.

However, he could still clearly feel that the gaze was still there - this meant that the other party's target was indeed him.

That would be much easier to do.

Ian began to wander the streets of Kyoto.

He is sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The sight hidden in the darkness also adjusted its rhythm.

The Great Onmyoji walked to the corner of the street.

A figure followed hurriedly.

But when the figure turned around, he found that there was a dead end in front of him.

Where did he go?

next moment--

The ground beneath the figure's feet began to sink, trapping his feet tightly.

This is a "prison" built using the earth among the five elements.

Then, Ian's voice came from above.

I saw that he was already sitting on the walls on both sides of the alley, looking down at the people who had been watching him in secret.

"Have you seen enough?"

"If I've seen enough... I should send you, who is so suspicious, to the Ashigaru."

"Migu!"

The watcher let out a panicked sound.

"Please do not do this!"

"I... am just looking for an opportunity to meet you alone again!"

"See you again?"

Hearing this, Ian suddenly thought of something.

He jumped down from the wall, came in front of the other person, and lifted the black veil that concealed his face.

The moment he saw the other person's face, Ian was stunned.

Because although he had only seen it once, it was a face that he had memorized deeply.

Pink hair, fox ears, golden eyes and white skin.

"You were that guy that day!"

"Yes, it is my concubine Tamamonomae."

The fox-eared girl who calls herself Tamamonomae has sad eyes, a look that would make anyone who sees it sad.

"Although it may sound a bit offensive to say it now, but——"

"Can you please help me, who is now in prison?"

137. Tamamonomae: Help me, Mr. Abe! (-word chapter)

"..."

Tamamonomae is indeed very beautiful.

If it were accompanied by this pleading tone, it would appear even more charming.

If another man saw this scene, he would most likely agree to all her requests without hesitation.

But Ian didn't do that.

The friendship between Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji made him realize that many things in this world cannot be judged by a single impression.

It’s like ghosts are evil, but they also have a kind side.

Only after a deep understanding can you have enough say.

If even ghosts are like this, there is no need to say more about Tamamonomae in front of us.

but--

Ian looked at her eyes which were somewhat sad, but he did not deny her statement immediately.

The ground beneath Tamamonomae's feet gradually loosened its restraints and returned to its normal state.

The Great Onmyoji looked at her in front of him and said coldly:

"This is not the place to say those things."

"Let's talk somewhere else."

[You took Tamamonomae away from this dead end.]

[The innate mountain and water confrontation has been activated: No one will question why there is an extra person around you, they just think it is all reasonable. 】

[You took her to the best wine club in Beijing.]

[You requested a room with excellent confidentiality. ]

[In this huge room, there are only you and her. ]

[You ordered a table full of dishes and asked for the best wine. ]

Gulu.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Tamamonomae's throat moved slightly.

Ian knew what that meant, of course—she was hungry.

"Want to eat?" he asked.

"I do." Tamamonomae nodded.

"Then answer me a question." Ian looked at Tamamonomae and said, "After you answer, you can eat as much as you want."

"..."

Tamamonomae hesitated.

Obviously.

Although the delicious food on the table was a rare treat for her who was starving, Ian's question was also something that deserved caution.

After thinking for a moment, she gave her answer:

"Can I listen to what the problem is?"

"After all... my abilities are limited. If you want to know something too complicated, I can't answer it."

“You definitely know the answer to this question.”

Ian took a sip of the sake on the table.

"Are you... the 'Algae Girl' that the Emperor has been hunting for recently?"

He wasn't asking randomly.

After all, I am not the kind of person who doesn't welcome anyone.

If his identity was normal, there would be no need for him to observe me secretly like this.

Not to mention finding an opportunity to be alone together.

So--

There is only one possibility.

That means Tamamonomae’s identity must be not simple.

Combining the previous ideas, the only thing that fits all of this is "Algae Girl".

"..."

Tamamonomae's eyes flickered - this was obviously her reaction to what Ian had said.

Her expression began to become somewhat embarrassed.

But Ian spoke at this time:

"Eat first."

"Migu?"

Tamamonomae was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.

"Hey, okay."

[Tamamonomae is somewhat surprised by your answer. ]

【But maybe she was really hungry. 】

[This is not difficult to understand - after all, if it is a 'Zao Nu', it is really not an easy thing to eat enough in the current hunting environment in Heian-kyō. ]

【As you watched, she nervously filled her stomach. 】
