The world in the moon begins with becoming Morgan’s husband!

【You are not hard-hearted. 】

[Looking at Tamamo Mae giving up, you were somewhat touched. 】

[You recall Ugozen on Onigashima. 】

[You realize that if you accept the reality, Minamoto Yorimitsu will become Ugozen at some point. 】

[You refuse this to happen. 】

[You understand that Tamamo-mae’s situation is actually somewhat similar to hers. 】

[But you didn’t accept the idea of helping Tamamo Mae so easily. 】

[You need a reason - a reason that is enough for you to take this huge risk to help her. 】

"Miss Algae."

Ian looked directly at Tamamo Mae, who was already frustrated.

"If you really want me to help you, then you have to at least make me think it's worth doing, right?"

"otherwise--"

"Aren't you worried that I am duplicitous and might betray you at any time?"

"Eh?!"

Tamamo-mae raised her head. The fox ears that were twitching just now were a little more lively now.

She's not some slow fool.

She heard the meaning behind Ian's words - it wasn't that she was absolutely unable to help herself, but that she needed a sufficient reason.

Tamamo-mae thought seriously.

This is her only chance to save herself, and she must seize it well.

As the saying goes, wisdom emerges from urgency.

Tamamo Mae quickly thought of a reason.

She looked at the great Onmyoji in front of her and spoke cautiously again:

"Then Mr. Abe——"

"If my mirror can do something for you that the mortal world can't do, do you have a reason to help me?"

"……maybe."

Ian did not answer directly.

"Miss Algae, please tell me first."

"Ahem." Tamamo Mae cleared her throat.

"That is the mirror that I was born with, and it has great power."

"Then why were you caught?"

"Because that power cannot be released casually." Tamamo Mae explained.

"With my use, it can activate the soul and life force, and then achieve things that cannot be done in the mortal world."

"That's—"

Tamamo Mae looked at Ian in front of him with extremely serious eyes.

"Communicating with the Dead."

"..."

Ian's pupils widened a bit.

Because this is exactly what he needs!

With it, you can once again contact Minamoto Norimitsu's dead father, Minamoto Mitsuru.

by that time.

Then you can ask clearly about the other "Abe".

There must be some way to change the fate that Minamoto Yorimitsu carries.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Ian asked as he looked at Tamamo Mae in front of him.

"I am the only one who can help you. You should know the consequences of cheating on me."

Ian's reaction made Tamamo Mae sigh in relief.

She knew her reasons had impressed Ian.

"Yes, of course I know."

"So from the first moment I met Mr. Abe, every word I said was extremely honest."

"..."

Ian thought for a moment and nodded.

"I understand."

"In that case, I will help you find a way to escape and retrieve the mirror - but I want to use it once after that, okay?"

Tamamo nodded before.

"Isn't that natural?"

"Okay, I'll arrange your accommodation now, and we'll discuss the rest later."

Hearing this, Tamamo Mae wiped the corners of his eyes.

This is her only support in Heian Capital so far.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Abe."

138. The Great Onmyoji’s other “home” in Heianjing ([-] words chapter)

[You found a house in Heian Kyo for Tamamozen. 】

[This is something Tamamo-mae can never do on her own. 】

[But with your help, it is no longer a problem. 】

[This is a mansion that no one has used for a long time. 】

[You spent some money to buy this place. 】

[This will serve as Tamamo-mae’s temporary residence—in a sense, it can also be regarded as your other “home”. 】

Inside the mansion.

Tamamo Mae looked at the dirty scene in front of him, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say something softly.

"It seems to be quite old."

"Indeed."

Ian also looked at the scene in front of him.

"But this place is relatively remote. It should be safer if you live in this mansion."

"But, Miss Zaoname, don't you like it here?"

"If so, it's still early and we still have time to change places."

"Nothing?~"

Tamamo-mae waved her hands slightly.

"I am very satisfied to have a place to stay like this!"

"But if it's so dirty, you can't just live in it. I have to work hard to clean it up."

"..."

Ian hesitated for a while and then said:

"I'll help you too."

"Eh?"

Tamamo Mae looked a little surprised.

"Mr. Abe, do you know how to clean a mansion?"

"That's what you said." Ian smiled bitterly, "Onmyojis also have to have daily life, right?"

"Besides—"

"Even if you don't know how, as long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to master it."

"Yeah too?~"

"Come on, let's start cleaning!"

[You and Tamamoae start cleaning this old mansion. 】

[This is really not complicated, but it is very laborious. 】

[After all, there are only two of you. 】

[You have been busy from afternoon to evening, and you have just barely finished cleaning it. 】

[You are deeply aware that this is not an easy job. 】

"It's finally done."

Ian looked at the mansion in front of him, which although it could not be said to be completely new, but it could be considered a little more pleasing to the eye, and breathed slightly.

"Yes, it is."

Tamamo held up a basin filled with hot water, with a clean cloth floating in it.

"Mr. Abe, please let me wipe your sweat for you."

"..."

Before Ian had time to answer Tamamo Mae, the other party had already wrung out the cloth very proactively, and then began to wipe the sweat from his head.

It was a cautious and extremely gentle look.

"Ah."

After wiping Ian's sweat, Tamamo pulled the cloth in front of him and put his hands on his waist, looking very happy.

"Okay~"

"In this case, Mr. Abe will be much more handsome!"

[You realize that Tamamo-mae's nature was not that moody. 】

[She is actually a very lively girl. 】

[This makes you wonder what she has experienced along the way. 】

[You feel that your decision has some meaning other than exchanging benefits. 】

"That's it for now."

Ian stood up.

The tall Onmyoji opened the shoji door a crack.
