Hearing this, Shuten-doji turned his face away.

"Uncle...it turns out that Ibaraki and I didn't serve him well enough."

"That fox demon knows much more than us, right?"

[You realize that Shuten-douji is a little sad because of what you said. ]

[You realize that this is contrary to the purpose of tonight.]

【You decide to speak your mind. 】

"No, Shuten."

"That's not what I meant."

Ian looked directly at the two little ghosts beside him.

"I just hope that Xiaoyu can fix the mirror soon - then I'll have a chance to figure out how to untie the restraints on Raikou."

"Lord Abe."

Ibaraki Douji, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time.

"I have a question."

"Go ahead, Izuku."

"Hmm..." Ibaraki Douji licked the marks at the corner of his mouth.

"What if the cost of unlocking it is very high?"

"That needs to be solved too." Ian answered the question without hesitation.

"Ibaraki, this is not a choice. There is no such thing as seeking benefits or avoiding harm."

“All I have to do is keep trying until I find a way that works.”

"But uncle, is it all worth it?"

Shuten-doji muttered quietly.

"You've done so many things, but the cows don't know anything."

“Is such silent dedication really reasonable?”

“There is nothing reasonable or unreasonable.”

Ian gently touched Shuten-douji's head - he knew she was feeling sorry for him.

"This is my promise."

"I promised Raikou's father that I would protect her no matter what."

"I also promised Ugly Gozen that I would never let Raikou become her."

"As an Onmyoji, you have to be trustworthy."

Hearing this, Shuten-doji pouted and lay on Ian's lap.

"I'm so jealous."

"envy?"

"Yes!" Shuten-doji muttered, "I also want to be uncle's wife."

"But there's no chance now, right?"

"..."

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

Shuten-doji blushed and spoke in a delicate voice.

"We are serious!"

"I like you very much! I like you so much that I want you to be my wife!"

After saying this, Shuten-doji felt a little embarrassed and turned away.

Ian laughed.

He nodded and said gently:

"I understand."

"but--"

"I really can't let Jiutun have you as my wife. I'm sorry."

"Woo woo woo, you rejected me without any hesitation!"

Shuten-doji sighed.

"But we already knew that."

"The uncles of this era have long been occupied by cows."

"only--"

The female ghost raised her head and forced a sad smile.

"I still want to stay with uncle, is that okay?"

"..."

Ian flicked Shuten-doji's head gently.

"Don't say such things—"

"It's as if I'll let you go."

"Uncle..."

Shuten-doji felt even more embarrassed.

Ibaraki Douji raised his hand at this time.

"Sir Abe, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"What are Nago and Shuten to Lord Abe?" Ibaraki Douji tilted his head slightly, "If they are not wives, then they are concubines?"

"what?"

Before Ian could answer, Shuten-doji became anxious.

"Ibaraki you idiot! Why are you asking such a question?!"

"But Shutenru, don't you want to know?"

Ibaraki Douji looked at his friend.

"This..." Shuten-doji was speechless.

The two little ghosts' eyes were once again tacitly focused on the great Onmyoji.

"If you want to ask that, then—"

Ian stretched out his hands and hugged Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji on the left and right.

"Let's call it 'The Little Pets Conquered with a Big Stick'."

"Who wants to be a pet?"

As Shuten Douji said this, he found that Ibaraki Douji had already obediently lay on Ian's lap - she seemed to have accepted this identity.

The female ghost hesitated for a while, but still lay down.

After all, she knew that this title was certainly not true - after all, the Great Onmyoji loved her and Ibaraki Douji very much.

Its real meaning is to allow oneself to stay by his side with peace of mind.

This is already very good.

[Time in Heian-kyō is passing. 】

[The controversy over the Heian Palace fire eventually died down - it was attributed to the disaster caused by the snake god.]

[As you expected, Minamoto no Raikou returned to his normal life. ]

[Of course, the issue of Fujiwara no Tokuko still exists. ]

[You are still thinking of a way to completely solve this matter. ]

[Another season has passed. ]

【The cherry blossoms in Heian-kyō are blooming. 】

“The cherry blossoms are blooming.”

Tamamonomae stood on the road leading to the capital, with a hint of nostalgia in her golden eyes.

“Maybe I can go flower viewing with Mr. Abe.”

She stroked the mirror in her hand and whispered this.

157. Onmyojis who deceive fate, the real way to save Minamoto no Raikou! (4k)

To be fair.

Tamamonomae had not expected that this trip would take so long.

It took her a whole season to repair her mirror.

No see in one day, like every three autumns.

The moment he returned to Heian-kyo, the clever fox demon even felt that the road ahead of him became a little unfamiliar.

but--

She was not worried that the great Yin-Yang master would mistake her for a faithless fox demon who escaped with the mirror.

After all, if the other party really thought so, they would never have let me leave Beijing in the first place.

Let's find a way to meet him first.

Tamamonomae thought so and involuntarily quickened her pace.

But before she returned to Genji's residence, she saw an unexpected scene.

I saw the great Onmyoji right in front of me.

He was seen holding Shuten-douji in one hand and Ibaraki-douji in the other, asking something to a roadside shop, and his expression looked quite indifferent.

"Mr. Abe!"

Tamamonomae couldn't help but shout out.

[You and Tamamonomae met again on the streets of Kyoto. ]

[You have arrived at the wine shop where you first met.]

[You two started chatting.]

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamonomae looked at Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji who were always sticking to the Great Onmyoji, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She didn't remember that these two little devils liked him so much before she left.

"You guys...what's going on?"

Before Ian could answer, Ibaraki Douji began to explain very seriously.

"Lord Abe is trying to trick us."

"Slip you guys?"

"Ah."

Ibaraki Douji nodded, then lay on Ian's lap.

"Shuten and I are Abe-sama's pets, so we have to be taken away."

"Eh, this?!"
