The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"lover?"

Ian glanced at Tamamonomae and found that her eyes were full of expectation, so he smiled and replied:

"Well, you could say that."

The Great Onmyoji had just finished speaking.

Ibaraki Douji plopped down and knelt before him.

"Then please."

"Please take my good friend Shuten as your lover!"

"She keeps talking about you every day and night, I just can't stand it anymore!"

"Eh?!"

Shuten-doji's cheeks turned red in an instant.

"Izuki! What are you talking about!?"

"We didn't do that, it's just..."

Shuten-douji became less and less confident as she spoke - after all, she had indeed been missing the great Onmyoji throughout the past season.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to Kyoto at the beginning of spring.

But the next moment, she heard an unexpected answer.

"Okay." Ian smiled.

"If Shuten is willing, it's not impossible."

"Eh?!"

Shuten-doji was stunned for a moment, then shouted with a red face.

"Who would be an uncle's lover?"

"But uncle, why did you end up in this kind of relationship with a fox demon?"

"Shuten, this is what happened."

[You told Shuten-doji about the series of events that happened recently. ]

[She showed a surprised expression, but then she thought of something.]

"Uncle, you mean there is a mirror in the Heian Palace that must be taken away, right?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"That's it."

"That--"

Shuten-doji hesitated for a moment and continued.

"Do you want us to help you get it out?"

150. Shuten Douji's new target in his secret crush (-word chapter)

"Shuten..."

Ian's eyes fell on the female ghost in front of him.

Although he looked like a child, he knew that the other party was definitely not joking with him.

She means it.

"Shuten, are you sure you can do it?" Ian asked again.

"Uncle, what's that look in your eyes?"

Shuten-doji supported his back with his hands, looking very unhappy.

"I am the Ghost King of Dajiang Mountain after all. I am just going to get a mirror. What's the problem?"

"Yeah." Ibaraki Douji nodded following these words.

"When we were in Dajiang Mountain, we often asked passing merchants for a few bottles of fine wine."

“I won’t tell them though.”

"Ibaraki! No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak!"

Shuten-doji was very anxious.

She was very concerned about her image in front of Ian.

but--

She soon discovered that the Great Onmyoji didn't care too much about this kind of thing.

He just opened his mouth and said:

"Shuten, I'll leave it to you then."

"Eh?"

Shuten-doji originally thought that the other party would ask more questions, but he didn't expect that he would agree so quickly.

"We know."

"but--"

"Uncle, can you at least tell me why we have to take that mirror?"

After Shuten-doji said this, Tamamonomae realized the same problem.

"really."

"Although I have reached a contract with Mr. Abe, I still don't know why Mr. Abe wants to use that mirror once."

Ibaraki Douji didn't say anything.

But judging from the look on her face as she looked at Ian, she was also very curious about this question.

"..."

Ian's eyes swept over the women in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Everyone, the reason I need that mirror is because..."

[You begin to tell what you saw and heard on the ghost island. ]

[It was a strange meeting with Ugly Gozen under the influence of a mysterious force. ]

[You learned the truth about Minamoto no Raikou long ago. ]

[She was a "sacrifice" given to the Bull-Headed King by Minamoto Mannaka for the development of the Minamoto clan with the help of another Onmyoji whose surname was also "Abe". ]

[Her existence is the foundation for Genji's continued development and growth. ]

[But this is not without cost.]

[If Minamoto no Raikou continues to use this power, she will become Ugly Gozen at some point in the future. ]

【You have to stop this from happening.】

[To do this, you need Tamamonomae's mirror to "contact" Minamoto Manchu again in order to find a solution. ]

【This is your real purpose.】

"..."

Shuten-doji curled his lips.

"So, did you encounter something like this on Ghost Island?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"That's why I was so anxious to take you away at that time - after all, the entire island is actually part of Ugly Gozen."

"But would that ugly Gozen be lying to us?" Shuten-doji was a little skeptical. "After all, if that cow... I mean, if Minamoto no Raikou really didn't continue to use that power, she wouldn't exist, right?"

"I've thought about that possibility."

Ian replied very seriously.

"But I think that Ugly Gozen probably already knows that all this is a punishment."

"After all, she had been bound by the fate of killing ghosts for a long time before we went there."

"perhaps--"

"She wanted to find some relief."

"..."

Shuten-doji did not pursue the matter any further.

She knew that the situation Ian described was indeed possible.

And anyway, Ugly Gozen has disappeared now.

It is meaningless to consider her reasons again.

"Mr. Abe."

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

"Well...I am a little worried."

"What if the mirror doesn't fulfill Mr. Abe's idea in the end?"

It’s definitely not that Tamamonomae doesn’t want to help.

But she realized that the key to the whole plan was her own mirror.

She was a little afraid that it would not live up to the expectations of the Great Onmyoji.

Of course Ian understood what Tamamonomae was thinking.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Xiaoyu, don't be nervous."

"I know that mirror may not be able to realize my ideas."

"but--"

"You have to try it."

Ian looked to the other side of the room - in the room opposite the shoji door was where Minamoto no Raikou was sleeping soundly.

"I don't want Raikou's future to be like that."

"She's been through enough."

"so--"

The great Yin-Yang master bowed before the two ghosts and one demon.

"Shuten, Ibaraki, and Tama."

"Anyway, please help me."

"please!"

[The room suddenly became much quieter.]

【Everyone present knows what your bow means.】

[This is a sign of willingness to give up one's dignity for Minamoto no Raikou. ]

[You really love her - you are even willing to give up something important for her.]

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamonomae helped Ian up.

"My concubine understands."

"I will definitely do my best to help Mr. Abe."
