but--

This serious expression lasted only less than a second before it collapsed.

Minamoto no Raikou put down the kneecap that her father had given her, then pounced on Ian and pressed him down on the tatami.

The normally gentle warrior seemed to have lost all reason at this moment.

She kissed her husband's lips tightly, not willing to leave even the slightest gap.

Her tongue rolled back and forth in the great Onmyoji's mouth, as if trying to eat up all the air inside.

This is a suffocating kissing experience.

But Ian didn't say no.

Because he felt it - Minamoto no Raikou was afraid.

for a long time.

The beautiful warrior finally stopped.

Her beautiful purple eyes were already filled with crystal tears.

She is usually very strong and never gives up, but at this moment she looks like a wronged child.

"lady."

Ian reached out and wiped away the tears from Minamoto no Raikou's eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm going to lose my husband."

Minamoto no Raikou, who was riding on Ian, spoke with a tearful voice:

"They all said you had a woman outside."

"You drank the wedding wine...you walked hand in hand on the street, and even lived in the same house."

"Husband!" Minamoto no Raikou looked extremely distressed. "Why did you do this?"

"Is it because I don't have time for you?"

"In that case—"

"Wouldn't it be better if you just said it out loud?"

"I don't want to be the governor of Mino..."

Before Minamoto no Raikou could finish her words, Ian covered her mouth with his hand.

"Ma'am, don't say such things."

"The revival of the Genji clan still requires your efforts, madam."

Hearing this, Minamoto no Raikou removed Ian's hand from his lips.

"But my husband——"

"You also said that you would accompany me until then!"

"But why are you betraying me now?"

"lady."

Ian was not afraid of the questioning from Minamoto no Raikou at all - because he did have a plan.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Why would you rather trust an outsider than me, with whom you have been together for so many years?"

"..."

Hearing this, Minamoto no Raikou seemed to realize something.

She frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Husband, what do you mean by this?"

"Are you trying to say... that everything they said was false?"

"Do not."

Ian shook his head.

“It’s not fake.”

"I have done that sort of thing—Ma'am, don't get excited yet."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded.

She really didn't want to believe that the man in front of her would betray her.

Looking at the beautiful warrior who had temporarily calmed down, Ian continued:

"lady."

"You've been so busy lately, right? Is it because of that existence called 'Algae Girl'?"

"Yeah." Minamoto no Raikou nodded.

"I've been searching for almost two months straight... and there's no trace of him at all."

"Perhaps 'Algae Lady' is no longer in Heian-kyō."

"No." Ian shook his head.

"Ma'am, she is in Heian-kyō."

Minamoto no Raikou was about to ask Ian why, but he realized something in an instant.

"Husband, couldn't you..."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ian held Minamoto no Raikou's hand.

"I have found the trace of 'Algae Lady'."

"The actions you heard from others earlier were also what I did to stabilize her."

"Madam, her true form is a fox demon."

"Please report this matter to the Emperor in the name of Genji."

"…husband."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the great Onmyoji beneath him, and the sadness in his expression finally faded a little.

“Are you doing these things?”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"because--"

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou on his body with meaningful eyes.

"Madam has taken on too much."

"I don't think it's necessary to trouble Madam before the matter is settled."

【Minamoto no Raikou did not doubt your words.】

[Or should I say this explanation is what she wants to hear.]

"Very good……"

Minamoto no Raikou lay on top of Ian.

"My husband didn't betray me. I thought I would have to use the knee pill tonight."

"Using the knee pill?"

Ian glanced at the famous sword that Minamoto no Raikou had put aside.

"Ma'am, do you want to kill me?"

"Do not."

Minamoto no Raikou raised his head slightly and shook his head at Ian.

"I can't do anything to my husband."

"so--"

"If my husband really falls in love with someone else, I will choose to commit suicide in front of him."

"This way... no matter which woman my husband is with in the future, he will never forget me."

"..."

Ian stroked Minamoto no Raikou's beautiful long purple hair.

"Ma'am, don't worry."

"You will never die in front of me."

"I know."

Minamoto Raikou hugged Ian's neck and breathed hot air into her ear.

"Husband, I want it so badly now."

"Ok, I know."

[You spent a sweet night on the tatami. ]

【Everything about the plan is ready. 】

【But you don’t know it at this moment. 】

[This will be the beginning of another turmoil in Heian-kyō. ]

142. Tamamonomae's fake death, the wonderful use of the fox tide! (-word chapter)

[Minamoto no Raikou did not initiate this demon-killing operation in his own name. ]

[Instead, she chose to report the matter in the name of "Abe Yasuhin".]

【Things have changed.】

[This becomes a demon-killing operation organized by you—its purpose is to kill the "Algae Girl."]

"lady."

“Why should I be given all the credit?”

"That's because my husband is also a member of the Genji clan."

"Seeing my husband's abilities being recognized and respected by everyone, I feel like I am also being respected by everyone."

"This feeling... is much happier than taking all the credit for the work by myself."

[You understand what Minamoto no Raikou means. ]

[But you have to deal with more than just the situation on Minamoto no Raikou's side. ]

[There are also things worth your attention over there at Tamamonomae. ]

[You have to make the whole monster-killing scene look seamless.]

Inside the mansion where Tamamonomae lived.

A thin rope passed through the beam above, then fell back and tied to a pillar on the side.

The other end of the rope was tied around Tamamonomae's hands.

This forced her to pose with her hands raised high and her feet barely placed on the tatami.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Well, let's try it now."
