The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

No one doubted it.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

He coughed lightly - a signal.

Tamamonomae immediately stretched out her voice and let out some low roars from her throat.

have to say.

If Ian didn't know that Tamamonomae actually didn't like doing this at all, he would probably be frightened by this voice.

This is simply the desperate howl of a fox demon before its death. Anyone who hears it will feel a chill.

but--

Now that you know the truth, there is no need to be afraid of it.

The Great Onmyoji looked behind him at Minamoto no Raikou and several frightened foot soldiers.

"It seems that it is impossible to capture this fox demon alive - it has a strong grudge."

"I must kill it here with flames."

Hearing this, Minamoto no Raikou nodded immediately.

She was always very supportive of what her husband did.

"I understand."

"Evacuate now!"

Everyone came outside the mansion.

As he watched, Ian raised his hand.

The flames were brilliant and the heat waves were surging.

At this moment, the lights of thousands of homes in Heian-kyo were gathered together by the Great Onmyoji.

next second.

The entire mansion caught fire and was then engulfed in flames.

That was the funeral announcing the fox demon's death.

[The burning mansion is the last step in the plan that you can control. 】

【You know there is nothing you can do. 】

[Whether Tamamonomae can survive depends on herself. 】

"Husband?"

Minamoto no Raikou's voice came.

"Is there anything else wrong? You've been looking at the sea of ​​fire."

Ian smiled.

"No."

"I just hope to kill the fox demon as soon as possible."

[The fire surrounding the mansion was finally extinguished. ]

【Black smoke rising from the ashes filled the air.】

[You returned the lights of thousands of homes to Heian-kyō. ]

【Now it’s time to test the results. 】

Going around the burnt and fallen beam in front of them, Ian and Minamoto no Raikou came to the place where Tamamonomae was previously "imprisoned".

The moment he arrived, the Great Onmyoji breathed a sigh of relief.

because--

The plan was successful.

I saw a burnt "fox" lying on the dark ground.

of course.

It's not really a fox.

Instead, Ian made a fake body out of "earth" while observing Tamamonomae while she was naked.

but--

Although it is a fake body, the Great Onmyoji put a lot of effort into it.

Needless to say, the size is important.

With reference to the original body, there would not be any sense of incongruity even if I change back to a fox body.

The same goes for the tail fur - it was all plucked from Tamamonomae, and is genuine fox fur.

But Ian felt that just doing these two things was not enough.

So after making this fake body, he asked Tamamonomae to spray and wash it several times with the water from the fox's treasure.

This way.

This fake body is almost indistinguishable from a real fox, except that it is lifeless.

Even the taste is exactly the same.

of course.

If you look carefully, you can still find some clues, more or less.

But Ian chose a day with a new moon rising, so there wasn't enough light.

And he also treated it twice with flame.

No one would notice anything was wrong—not even Minamoto no Raikou could do that.

"Husband."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the "fox corpse" in front of him and said with some emotion.

“It’s back to its original state.”

"Yes."

Ian responded to Minamoto no Raikou, preparing to make things even more real.

"Ma'am, I'm going to proceed to the final step."

The great Yin Yang Master pulled out his own knife from his sleeve.

That was a weapon that had killed many ghosts and monsters, and it was also the beginning of the relationship between Ian and Minamoto no Raikou.

He stabbed the "fox corpse" hard.

In the moments before arriving, Ian calmly cut his hand with it.

Suddenly.

As the tip of the knife pierced into the "fox corpse", blood flowed on it, as if it was a blooming blood flower.

All illusions become real at this moment.

Ian pulled out his knife, picked up the "fox corpse", smiled at Minamoto no Raikou and said:

"Ma'am, it's over."

"We can now report to the Emperor and take credit for this."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the man in front of him and nodded happily.

"Well, it's all over."

"Husband, let's go home."

[The story of exorcising demons in Heian-kyō has come to an end for the time being. 】

[The fact that Onmyoji Abe Yasuchika saw through the fox demon will be recorded in history. 】

[You and Minamoto no Raikou gave a good treat to the foot soldiers who participated tonight. ]

[Afterwards, you all walked towards the mansion together.]

Minamoto no Raikou was rarely drunk tonight.

But Ian could fully understand her behavior - after all, the "algae girl" incident had troubled her for nearly a season.

And speaking of it.

The Great Onmyoji looked at his wife beside him and couldn't help but smile.

Minamoto no Raikou pouted his lips, exhaled hot air and said:

"Husband~ Do you think mom is cute~"

"Does my husband like my mother very much?"

When she acts coquettishly like this, she is also a beautiful sight.

anyway--

Ian looked at the road not far away.

Shouldn't Tamamonomae escape now?

As long as she follows that escape route, there will be a village outside Heian-kyo where she can stay temporarily.

This was all confirmed by my own observations in advance.

Ian thought so, and returned to the door of the mansion with one hand supporting the drunken Minamoto no Raikou and the other carrying the "fox corpse".

But right now.

He suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Migu!"

Tamamonomae hasn't left yet?

143. The Fox Demon also wants to monopolize the Great Onmyoji (-word chapter)

There was no mistaking the sound.

Only Tamamonomae can make this highly recognizable sound.

Ian supported the drunk and coquettish Minamoto no Raikou while he looked around.

Soon, he discovered Tamamonomae's figure.

At this moment, the fox demon just followed behind the two people.

After realizing that she had been noticed by the Great Onmyoji, she made a "hush" gesture with her fingers in front of her pink lips.

Tamamonomae's meaning was very clear - he wanted her to deal with Minamoto no Raikou first before dealing with other things.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

The drunken Minamoto no Raikou started to act coquettishly once again.

"Why don't you look at Mom?"

"……nothing."

Ian glanced at Tamamonomae behind him, then glanced at Minamoto no Raikou beside him, and finally decided to pretend that he saw nothing.

"I just almost tripped and wanted to see what it was."

"is it?"

Minamoto no Raikou, his face flushed, held Ian's arm tightly.

"That kind of thing isn't pretty... just look at mom."

"Ma'am, you are too drunk."
