The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Xiaoyu, thank you."

"Hey, you're too cunning, fox!" Shuten-doji muttered, "You're trying to impress the uncle at this time, huh?"

"but--"

The female ghost looked at Ian.

"That's pretty much what we were thinking."

"after all--"

"I was brought back from that hellish place by the uncle... so let's just consider it even now."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Thank you, Shuten."

Snap—Snap—Snap.

Ibaraki Douji clapped his hands.

"Great."

"That way, when this is over, Shuten can taste the stick again."

"Izuku, what are you talking about?!"

You have reached a consensus.

[You begin to make plans.]

[You and Minamoto no Raikou are responsible for attracting Fujiwara no Tokuko's attention during the next court meeting.]

[Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji were responsible for sneaking into Heian Palace and stealing Tamamonomae's mirror.]

[Tamamonomae was waiting outside Heian Palace - after all, she was the owner of the mirror and could immediately judge any problems related to the mirror.]

【This is an operation with clear division of labor.】

【Time passes slowly while waiting. 】

[You are constantly perfecting various details - such as what the mirror looks like and what to pay attention to when the two ghosts enter and leave the Heian Palace. ]

【Finally, you have waited for the planned day. 】

At the entrance.

Minamoto no Raikou was arranging Ian's clothes.

Even though they have been together for a long time, Minamoto no Raikou still feels the same way about him as he did back then.

"My husband, why do you want to go to court with me today?"

"Could it be that my husband has already figured out how to deal with the Emperor's affairs?"

[You know that you and their plan cannot be told to Minamoto no Raikou.]

【You decide to tell a few lies that won't affect the situation. 】

"No."

Ian shook his head.

"That's why we need to go there a few more times. Maybe we'll find something new."

"I see." Minamoto no Raikou nodded.

"I understand."

"Husband, if there is any problem, tell me immediately... I will definitely protect you."

"I know, ma'am, don't worry."

【You and Minamoto no Raikou left. 】

[Tamamonomae, Shuten-douji, and Ibaraki-douji will leave a little later. ]

[After all, if you go there too early, firstly, you may not be able to lure Fujiwara no Tokuko away, and secondly, you may be easily discovered by Minamoto no Raikou.]

【They gathered together.】

Looking at Tamamonomae beside him, Shuten-doji felt a little inferior.

because--

She is very pretty.

She is as beautiful as Minamoto no Raikou.

Shuten-doji already had this feeling when he first saw Tamamonomae.

Do all the ghosts that Onmyoji likes have to be very beautiful?

The female ghost couldn't help but have such thoughts in her heart.

"Um... Shuten, right?" Tamamonomae's voice sounded.

"Do you still remember the taboos I told you about holding a mirror?"

"We are not stupid."

Shuten-doji stared at Tamamonomae in front of him and began to mutter.

"You don't have to emphasize it so many times."

"Sorry." Tamamonomae clasped her hands together and apologized.

"I am just afraid that my actions will affect Mr. Abe's plan."

"..."

Shuten-doji became even more silent.

She could feel that Tamamonomae was really trying her best to do this.

In comparison, I seem a little negligent.

"Can I ask you a question, fox demon?"

"No problem at all."

"That--"

Shuten-doji looked at Tamamonomae beside him.

"Don't you feel a little uncomfortable?"

"uncomfortable?"

"Yes!" Shuten-doji nodded.

"Although the uncle knelt down and begged us for help... but in the end, we are still helping the uncle save our love rival."

"You... don't you have the thought of taking advantage of the situation?"

Shuten-doji didn't explain clearly what he meant.

But Tamamonomae completely understood what she meant - if something really happened to Minamoto no Raikou, it would be a better opportunity.

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

The fox demon's expression became a little subtle.

"Of course, I have also had the thought that 'it would be better if Madam Yuan was not here at all'."

"But I also know what Madam Yuan means to Mr. Abe."

"so--"

"Although it is sad to see Mr. Abe and Mrs. Minamoto together, I don't want to see Mr. Abe's pain when he loses Mrs. Minamoto."

"Are you lying?"

Shuten-doji rubbed his hands nervously.

"How is it possible to like someone and be willing to give him or her away?"

“This is not a surrender.”

Tamamonomae looked at the female imp seriously.

"I just don't want Mr. Abe to feel bad because of my selfishness. If that's the case, wouldn't it be like building my happiness on Mr. Abe's pain?"

"Besides -"

Tamamonomae blushed slightly.

"Mr. Abe's time doesn't actually belong entirely to Mrs. Minamoto, does it?"

"Eh?"

Tamamonomae's words reminded Shuten-doji of the scene he had seen before.

This fox demon who adored the great Onmyoji actually had the experience of being tied to a pillar and enjoyed.

Shuten-doji's young throat moved slightly.

"Can we ask you one more question?"

"of course can."

"That--"

Shuten-doji asked nervously, holding his abdomen.

"How does it feel to be used by him to make tea?"

"This one……"

Tamamonomae never expected that Shuten-doji would ask such a question.

But she still recalled her feelings at that time very seriously and gave her own answer.

"If you want to ask that."

"I can only give one answer—"

“That’s very comfortable.”

"Very comfortable?"

Shuten-doji heard an unexpected answer—she had thought it would be a torture.

"Yeah." Tamamonomae nodded shyly.

"Because Mr. Abe really treats me as a teacup, he will..."

"Well, let's not talk about that."

The shy Tamamonomae did not continue to describe - the feeling of being savored so carefully was still difficult to describe.

But Shuten-doji already fully understood the pleasure that kind of thing brought her.

"Does the uncle object to doing this?"

"No."

Tamamonomae shook her head in shame.

"He put cherry blossoms and fireflies in it."

"Then he would ask me if the water temperature was too high."

“When I put the lid on, it’s like I’m really studying the tea ceremony.”

Hearing this description, Shuten-doji was shaking all over.

"What about the wine?"

"Will the uncle do the same if he drinks?"

"I don't know about that." Tamamonomae tilted her head slightly.

"After all, Mr. Abe has never used me to drink... maybe he has tried it before."

As soon as Tamamonomae finished speaking, Shuten-doji immediately shouted.

"Ibaraki! It's time for us to leave!"
