【You returned to the mansion you and Minamoto no Yorimitsu lived in. 】

[As mentioned before, Minamoto no Raikou has become even busier. 】

[She did not return to this mansion that belongs to you at the original time.]

【You decide to use this time to sort out your thoughts. 】

There should be no need to doubt Tamamonomae's origins anymore.

But the crux of the problem lies in the strange attitude of the Emperor of Heian-kyo towards it.

To be fair.

Although he had almost no contact with the Pope, Ian didn't think that he would be the kind of person who would go on such a high-profile hunt for a fox demon (or should I say woman) in the mountains.

After all, if that were the case.

As the Lord of Mino, Minamoto no Raikou would certainly have complaints - she was a person who hoped to revive the Minamoto clan, so naturally she was unwilling to be ordered around by a mediocre lord.

But if you think along this line of thought -

There will be a new problem before Ian.

Apart from the fact that she is a woman, what else could possibly make the French emperor order a massive manhunt?

The Great Onmyoji always feels that things are not as simple as they seem.

Also.

Although he agreed to help Tamamonomae, Ian had no idea at the moment.

How to make the French emperor stop chasing?

How can I get the mirror back for Tamamonomae?

These are not easy things to do and are accompanied by great risks.

but--

If this could give me the chance to "contact" Yuan Manzhong, I would have to give it a try no matter what.

That is the key to preventing Minamoto no Raikou from becoming Ugly Gozen.

Ian rejects that future.

You have sorted out your thoughts.

【You find that a lot of time has passed. 】

【Minamoto no Raikou returned to the mansion. 】

[She looked very tired - it seemed that the affairs of the court had indeed increased a lot.]

"Ma'am, you're back."

Although he looked very tired, after seeing Ian, Minamoto no Raikou still forced himself to greet Ian.

"Well, husband, I'm back."

After saying this, she hugged Ian.

For her, this is the most relaxing moment of the day.

but--

Minamoto no Raikou quickly raised his head.

There was a hint of confusion in her beautiful purple eyes.

"Husband, what did you do today?"

"Eh?

Ian had never expected that Minamoto no Raikou would suddenly bring up this topic.

"Ma'am, what do you mean by that?"

"My husband smells wrong."

Minamoto no Raikou stared at Ian and replied.

"My husband, you are not usually like this - you must have done something and worked up a sweat, which is why you are like this."

"Husband, are you doing something secretly?"

"..."

Only then did Ian realize that when Yuan Laiguang hugged him, he was not just enjoying the action, the smell was also a part of it.

But he wasn't panicked.

"Ma'am, have you forgotten?"

"Because of you, I now have to lead some foot soldiers on patrol. Perhaps that's why it has become something that Madam is not familiar with, right?"

"……right."

Minamoto no Raikou knocked his head and gave an apologetic smile.

"There were so many things to do that I forgot about this."

"but--"

The warrior raised his head, looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him, and said very seriously:

"Husband, please don't be so intimate with other women."

"otherwise--"

"I will definitely kill that man."

Ian was about to answer when he found that Minamoto no Raikou had fallen asleep on his chest.

It seems that she is really exhausted today.

But this does not affect the fact that what she said just now were all her true words.

It seems that it is better not to mention Tamamonomae's affairs to her.

To prevent any unpredictable problems from arising later.

Seeing Minamoto no Raikou lying in his arms, so exhausted that even his breathing became rapid, Ian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He stroked her hair gently and then kissed her lightly on her fair forehead.

"Do not worry."

"Madam, you will definitely have some leisure time in the future."

[The French Emperor's manhunt continues.]

[Thanks to your protection, Tamamonomae did not encounter any danger. ]

[After all, the place where she lives is a mansion purchased in your name. ]

[The foot soldiers in charge of the investigation, even if they didn't expect you, have to give Minamoto no Raikou some face. ]

【But you didn't let your guard down. 】

[You know the Emperor will definitely not give up.]

"Migu!"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Abe!"

Tamamonomae fluttered to her knees in front of Ian, and the big tail behind her also stood up.

"If it weren't for Mr. Abe, I would still be on the street, scared and worried."

"You just understand."

Ian helped Tamamonomae up.

"Xiaoyu, it's okay now though."

"but--"

"You should also know that things are not over yet, so you still have to be careful during this period of time."

"Yeah." Tamamonomae nodded.

"I understand."

"I know my identity, so when Mr. Abe is not here, I will not leave here no matter what."

"That's good."

Ian stood up.

"I've brought you everything you need... If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"that--"

Tamamonomae seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Seeing her like this, Ian took the initiative to ask.

"What's wrong? Now that things have come to this, just say whatever you want to say."

Tamamonomae showed an embarrassed expression.

"I suddenly feel that these words are not suitable to be said at this time."

"..."

Ian reached out and tapped Tamamonomae's forehead.

After the latter covered his forehead and said "It hurts", he continued:

"If you have anything to say, just tell me now. Don't hide anything."

"Xiaoyu, you have to know that your current situation is very dangerous."

"If you do something wrong, it won't just be you who will be in trouble, it will be the entire clan."

"so--"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"As for whether it is reasonable or not, that is for me to judge."

"That--"

Tamamonomae showed an expectant look.

"Mr. Abe, can you have a meal with me in this mansion tomorrow at noon?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't... I just mentioned it briefly, so it's okay if you don't come..."

Before Tamamonomae finished speaking, Ian had already answered:

"It will come, just wait."

"But we have to go now."

Tamamonomae was overjoyed to hear such an answer.

"Yes!"

"I will prepare well!"

[Your permission was entirely due to your concern for Tamamonomae's condition.]

[After all, if she can't stand this situation and chooses to do something, you're worried that you won't be able to control the situation.]

[So you know you have to take her feelings into consideration.]

[This is solving her problem as well as yours. ]

The next day.

Ian arrived as promised.

As soon as he pushed open the shoji door of the old mansion, he saw Tamamonomae busying around - she really took this lunch very seriously.

Seeing the Great Onmyoji coming, Tamamonomae stopped temporarily.

She was busy and sweating but still showed a happy smile and said:
