The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

After listening to Ian's explanation, Minamoto no Raikou became even more confused.

"Husband, what do you mean by this?"

"It's a very simple truth." Ian's eyes fell on Fujiwara no Tokuko who was still communicating with the ministers.

“There must be a reason for doing something.”

"For example, I fell in love with Madam because she did so many things for me."

"Similarly, the roads and plants that we saw outside just now, which were laid out according to Yin-Yang magic, were of course made that way for some special reason."

"If a 'dead' person must stay in the 'living realm', who in Heian-kyō do you think deserves such treatment?"

"..."

Combining what was mentioned earlier, Minamoto no Raikou quickly understood what Ian said.

"My husband, are you referring to the Emperor?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Ian knew that Minamoto no Raikou had followed his train of thought, so he smiled in response.

"So--"

"Madam, do you understand why you are doing this?"

"…In order not to cause unrest." Minamoto no Raikou's answer came naturally.

Since the death of the Emperor will cause turmoil in the entire Kyoto,

So--

Just let him not die for the time being.

In this way, naturally there will be no turmoil.

"Madam is indeed very experienced in this area. She understood what I was talking about so quickly."

Ian was generous with his praise.

"Then Madam must understand why this situation must be maintained, right?"

"..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at Fujiwara no Tokuko, who was exercising power on behalf of the Emperor.

"It's the Queen who wants to be regent, right?"

Just like Ian said at the beginning.

There must be a reason for doing something.

If Fujiwara no Tokuko wanted to be regent.

The death of Emperor Wu Yu was something that had to be covered up.

If she continues to rule like this, power will slowly be transferred to her subordinates.

Minamoto no Raikou, who had regained consciousness, could not help but gasp.

"Husband."

"Is this why you wish to see the Emperor?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Although everything seems reasonable, it is ultimately just my guess."

"If I can see the Emperor, I can confirm whether the Yin-Yang magic circle in the Heian Palace is really set up for him."

"If so—"

Ian did not continue.

But Minamoto no Raikou had already understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence.

"Then we must find a way to expose all this."

Their eyes met, and the thoughts in their minds reached perfect agreement at this moment.

"Husband, let's try it later." Minamoto no Raikou said.

Ian nodded.

"Well, ma'am, I think the same as you do."

"But in that case, we need a good reason."

"Husband, don't worry about this."

Minamoto no Raikou smiled slightly.

"I've figured out what to do."

Ian was not surprised by this answer.

after all--

His wife was extremely strong in handling state affairs.

[You are waiting for the court meeting to end.]

[This waiting time is not long. ]

[You will soon reach the time to leave the court. ]

Ian and Minamoto no Raikou looked at each other and knew that it was time for them to take action.

After the ministers left, the two men once again came before Fujiwara no Tokuko.

"..."

Fujiwara no Tokuko, wearing a veil, looked at the Genji couple in front of her.

"how?"

"The court meeting should be over, right? You should know that this is not a good time to come to me."

Although there was no overt blame, the tone was enough to show that Fujiwara Tokuko didn't want to see the two of them.

but--

Minamoto no Raikou was not afraid at all.

Although she is a virtuous wife who obeys her husband's every command.

But as the representative of the Genji outside, when she needs to be tough, Minamoto no Raikou will use her body as a blade and show enough toughness.

"Your Majesty."

"I am aware that now is not a good time to bother the Queen."

"but--"

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes became much sharper.

"I have an important matter to attend to the Emperor."

"..."

When the Emperor was mentioned, Fujiwara no Tokuko suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"Then General Yuan, please tell me here... I will tell him everything."

"Do not."

Minamoto no Raikou shook his head.

"Empress, this time I must see the Emperor in person."

"This is about my father."

"..."

【You are a little surprised. 】

[You didn't expect Minamoto no Raikou to use his father's name just for your guess.]

[As a former general who had made great military achievements since the Heian period, Minamoto no Mitsunaka's name is indeed very important at all times. 】

[Even Fujiwara no Tokuko had to be wary. ]

Looking at Fujiwara Tokuko's hesitation, Ian knew that his guess was at least half right.

But what will happen next is most likely that the two will be refused permission to meet the Pope.

After all, if you do those things, you will probably feel guilty.

However, what Ian did not expect was that Fujiwara Tokuko actually agreed directly.

"understood."

"Since it's about your father, I'll let you go meet him."

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou and Ian looked at each other, with some confusion in their eyes.

After all, according to previous predictions, after Minamoto no Raikou made such a request, Fujiwara no Tokuko should have refused - at the very least, she should have been a little panicked.

But at this moment she was so calm.

This means that she may be ready.

It's just that it's over.

Ian knew he couldn't give up halfway.

Minamoto no Raikou also understood this principle.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Queen."

[You and Minamoto no Raikou followed behind Fujiwara no Tokuko. ]

[You walked through the corridor of Heian Palace.]

[You have arrived in front of a rather luxurious room.]

[It has extremely strict security. ]

to be frank.

If Ian hadn't seen Fujiwara Tokuko leading the way, he would probably have thought he had come to some kind of dueling arena.

There were eighteen guards standing in the corridor leading to the room.

They all held the same style of long sword, and their expressions looked extremely serious.

Coupled with the flickering lights on both sides of the wall, it presents a situation where strangers are not allowed to approach.

The three of them walked slowly forward under such scrutiny.

"arrive."

Having reached the end, Fujiwara no Tokuko turned around and looked at Ian and Minamoto no Raikou behind her.

"You all come in."

"He's right here."

A swipe.

The shoji door was pushed open.

Ian and Minamoto no Raikou followed Fujiwara no Tokuko into the room.

But the scene before us is somewhat surprising.

I saw a man in his fifties sitting at the table, holding a brush and writing something.

Next to it was a birdcage hanging on a shelf, with a canary inside pecking at bird food.

"This……"

Minamoto no Raikou was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
