The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Giving her a reason to stay after being rejected is more important than anything else.

"My concubine understands."

Tamamo-mae turned around and looked directly at the great onmyoji who was pressing him on the tatami, with a hint of meek obedience in his eyes.

"Mr. Abe... from now on, please use my body to please yourself."

"It won't be necessary tonight."

Ian gently stroked Tamamonomae's treasure.

"but--"

"To let Xiaoyu know that I'm not kidding."

"I have to do something."

As he said this, the Great Onmyoji's fingers slid to the fox demon's lower abdomen.

That is an excellent location for drawing talismans.

[Talented Great Onmyoji+++ has been activated: You have drawn a purple-red Onmyoji mark on Tamamonomae's lower abdomen. ]

[That is a shape that is extremely similar to the inner part of the fox's treasure. ]

[Tamamonomae was very happy about this - although she felt it was a bit shameful.]

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamonomae looked down at the marks on her abdomen.

"What is this used for?"

"A pledge."

Ian replied.

"Xiaoyu will be used for my pleasure from now on...so you must protect her well."

Having fun is just an addition.

It's more about protecting oneself - after all, this is Genji's mansion.

Since there is no way to leave Heian-kyo, this place is naturally safer.

After all, no one would doubt the great Onmyoji who had just eliminated the fox demon, let alone provoke Minamoto no Raikou.

Tamamonomae, who had spent a season in fear in Kyoto, understood this truth well.

"Mr. Abe, thank you so much."

"If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have survived."

"No." Ian shook his head. "Xiaoyu is so smart. Even without me, she will definitely find a way to survive."

"But now I think there is one thing that is worth questioning."

"One thing that's questionable?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Xiaoyu, don't you think the emperor's attitude towards you is problematic?"

"First, they ordered the blockade of the entire Heian-kyō, but they didn't issue an order to kill you."

"Even after Raikou informed me of my plan, I still issued the request to 'capture them alive if possible'."

"This is simply asking you to enter the court no matter what, right?"

"This……"

Tamamonomae was a little surprised.

"I have never thought of such a thing."

“诶？等等。”

"Mr. Abe, what you said reminded me of a name that the group of people mentioned when I was caught that day."

"what name?"

"Fujiwara no Tokuko."

【You realize this is a name that has never been mentioned before.】

【But your intuition tells you that this is a very important name. 】

You realize that something has changed.

"Then Xiaoyu, do you know any information about this name?"

Hearing Ian's question, Tamamonomae shook her head.

"At that time, I was only thinking about how to escape... and didn't think deeply about this name."

"It's ok."

Ian touched Tamamonomae's head.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry."

"If it was a name from the court, Raikou would definitely know it."

"..."

Tamamonomae forced a wry smile.

"Well, Mrs. Yuan will definitely be able to help."

It was impossible for Ian not to hear the sadness hidden in Tamamonomae's words.

"Xiaoyu, are you feeling sad?"

"Yes." Tamamonomae said bluntly.

"but--"

"I am not sad because I was unable to help."

"It's because I didn't meet Mr. Abe earlier."

The Great Onmyoji beside Tamamo Mae affectionately.

"Mr. Abe."

"If I appear before Madam Yuan, will you choose me?"

"Xiaoyu, I don't want to deceive you."

“But basically no.”

Ian recalled scenes from the past.

"Because if it weren't for Raikou, I would probably still be living in a village, isolated from the world."

"She brought me to Heian-kyō, and then everything that is now possible is possible."

"so--"

"If it weren't for her, I don't think anything would have happened since I met you."

"So that's how it is. I understand."

Tamamonomae's eyes were slightly red.

"Mrs. Gen is really important to Mr. Abe."

"Xiaoyu."

Ian gently stroked Tamamonomae's cheek.

"You're important too."

"But, I'm sorry - my wife will only be Raikou."

"..."

Tamamonomae was silent.

After a long while, she seemed to have figured something out, and said with a smile:

"Does that mean I should seduce Mr. Abe from now on?"

"Wait, seduction?"

"Yeah?~"

Tamamonomae took Ian's hand.

"If Mr. Abe cannot accept that I can be his wife—"

"Then I will seduce Mr. Abe as your lover, okay?"

"In this case, all the consequences are caused by my charm, you know?~"

"Mr. Abe, you will become the Great Onmyoji captured by me!"

I know that this is a psychological compromise made by Tamamonomae after she faced the reality.

Ian said nothing more.

He nodded and said:

"Okay."

"I want to see how Xiaoyu can seduce me."

"Hehe~" Tamamonomae threw a coquettish glance.

"Mr. Abe, please look forward to my actions☆~"

"But then again—"

"Why is there such an empty room here?"

"Well... because it used to be where ghosts lived."

"Eh? A ghost is living there?!"

"Well, two ghosts to be exact."

"Two?!"

"That doesn't matter anymore - this is where Xiaoyu will perform for me from now on."

[Unable to leave Kyoto, Tamamonomae decided to stay here. ]

[The natural mountain-water confrontation has been activated: You settled Tamamonomae in the mansion as a servant. ]

【She was very sensible and avoided Minamoto no Raikou. 】

[The two of them got along peacefully.]

[The day to report the results of exorcism is coming soon. 】

【You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu entered the court. 】

In front of the palace gate.

Ian, who came here for the first time, looked at the stone road ahead - at the end was the place where the Emperor would meet his ministers.

As soon as he stepped onto the stone road, he was stunned.

Because the Great Onmyoji sensed a strange aura.

It's the feeling that life and death are confused by some means.

Is there a living corpse nearby?

145. The Peace Palace where life and death intersect (-word chapter)

The boundary between the living and the dead must never be blurred.

Otherwise, everything in the world will become chaotic due to the loss of harmony.

This is also the most taboo part of Yin-Yang magic.
