"How can you like someone and still be willing to let him go?"

"This is not a give-and-take."

Tamamo Mae looked at the female imp seriously.

"I just don't want Mr. Abe to feel uncomfortable because of my selfishness - in that case, wouldn't it be equivalent to basing my happiness on Mr. Abe's pain?"

"Besides—"

Tamamo Mae's face turned slightly red.

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

"Eh?"

Tamamo Mae's words reminded Shuten Douji of the scene he had seen earlier.

This fox demon who loves the Great Onmyoji has indeed had the experience of being tied to a pillar and enjoying himself.

Shuten Doji's young throat squirmed slightly.

"Can we ask you another question?"

"of course can."

"That--"

Shuten Doji asked nervously, holding his belly.

"How does it feel to be taken there to make tea?"

"This one……"

Tamamo Mae never expected that Shuten Douji would ask such a question.

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

"If you ask that."

"I can only give one answer -"

"That's very comfortable."

"Very comfortable?"

Shuten Doji heard an unexpected answer - she originally thought it would be a kind of torture.

"Yeah." Tamamo nods shyly.

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

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

The shy Tamamo Mae did not continue to describe it - the feeling of being savored was still difficult to describe.

But Shuten Doji has fully understood the pleasure that kind of thing brings to her.

"Does uncle hate doing this?"

"No."

Tamamo Mae shook her head in shame.

"He put cherry blossoms and fireflies inside."

"Then I asked me if the water temperature would be too high."

“When you close the lid, it’s like you’re really studying the tea ceremony.”

Listening to this description, Shuten Doji was trembling all over.

"What about the wine?"

"If you drink alcohol, will uncle do the same thing?"

"I don't know about this concubine." Tamamo Mae tilted her head slightly.

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

As soon as Tamamo Mae finished speaking, Shuten Douji immediately shouted.

"Ibaraki! It's time for us to set off!"

"I'm here." Ibaraki Doji appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Kitsune." Shuten Doji's eyes returned to Tamamo Mae in front of him.

"It's almost time!"

"Let's go quickly."

"Eh?"

Tamamo Mae noticed that Shuten Doji suddenly became very active.

[The plan is proceeding according to your vision. 】

[You and Minamoto Yorimitsu have found Fujiwara Tokuko again - even though her attitude towards you is still very bad. 】

[But you don’t care. 】

[Because the focus of this operation is not you, but Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji. 】

[As ghosts, they need to find the mirror and bring it out while you are holding Fujiwara Tokuko away. 】

[You don’t know what their situation is like. 】

[But you can only trust them. 】

"Drinking."

Ibaraki-douji looked at Shuten-douji next to him and was very surprised.

"You are very energetic today."

"Have it?"

Ibaraki Doji nodded.

"some."

"You're all on fire."

"Eh?"

Shutendouji swatted away the flames that were born from the release of magic power on his body.

"Ibaraki, can you please stop emphasizing these inconsequential details?"

"Oh...I know."

"...There's no need to show that expression. We just hope you will pay attention to safety this time."

"This is a human palace, it's very dangerous!"

"it is good."

Back to the question itself.

Although he promised Ian those things, Shuten Doji actually didn't know what to do.

After all, it was her first time here.

It would be great if someone could help lead the way...

Just as Shuten Doji was thinking this, a figure walked through the corridor where she was secretly observing.

Is that another guy dressed as an Onmyoji?

151. The mastermind behind the Heian Palace ([-] words chapter)

"Hello~"

Shuten-douji cautiously waved his hand towards Ibaraki-douji on the other side.

"Ibaraki, look over there!"

"..."

Ibaraki Doji stuck out half of his head and looked out at the corridor.

"Eh? There's another Onmyoji?"

"Ibaraki, you noticed it too, right?"

Shuten Doji looked at the Onmyoji in front of him.

"Tell me, should we follow?"

Ibaraki Doji shook his head.

"I don't know."

"I listen to you. If you say you want to follow, I will follow."

The choice suddenly returned to Shuten Doji's hands.

She looked at the back of the Onmyoji who was gradually retreating, hesitated for a moment, and decided to take the risk and follow him.

Of course Shuten Doji knew that Onmyoji and Onmyoji had an extremely hostile relationship.

But at this moment without any available information, following him is the only choice for the two ghosts.

"Ibaraki, let's go!"

"Well, I understand."

[You don’t know what Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji encountered on the other side. 】

[Because your attention is on Fujiwara Tokuko at the moment. 】

[Because you found something was not right with her. 】

"lady."

Ian asked calmly to Minamoto Yorimitsu beside him.

"Did you feel...that something wasn't right with her today?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu naturally understood that the "she" in Ian's mouth refers to Fujiwara Tokuko.

After knowing what she had done to the Emperor, Yorimitsu Minamoto and Ian, who had the rank of general, no longer respected her in private.

"It's true, I feel like she..."

"I'm very anxious." Ian added the second half of the sentence.

"Yes." Minamoto no Laiguang nodded.

In line with the consensus reached by the two, Fujiwara Tokuko seemed very anxious today.

It can even be said that something is not quite right.

"Madam, what happened recently?"

"not at all."

Minamoto Yorimitsu looked cautiously at Tokuko Fujiwara, who was still receiving the ministers.

"But lately, she's been like this."

"Always been this way?"

"Ah."

[You realize that the situation in Ping An Palace is somewhat different from what you thought]

[You vaguely feel that Fujiwara Tokuko in front of you is also under some pressure. 】

[You have an adventurous idea to go out and have a look. 】

"Madam, can I leave for a while?"

"Eh?"

According to common sense, Minamoto norimitsu should not allow Ian to do this.
