In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Master."

Minamoto no Raikou snuggled in Ian's arms, whispering softly.

"It's finally today."

"Yeah, it's finally the day you've been waiting for, Lai Guang." Ian responded.

"Master——"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu grabbed Ian's clothes.

"Although I do hope to marry you."

"But if father intends to embarrass you, Master can give up on the spot."

"It's enough for me to know that you once thought of marrying me."

"Why do you think so, Raikou?"

Ian rubbed her forehead with his hand and pushed away the hair.

"Then I must tell you one more rule."

"An Onmyoji cannot give up. Otherwise, he will be harmed by all the karma from the past."

"Raikou, wait for my good news."

"……Um."

[Under the gaze of Minamoto no Raikou, you entered Minamoto no Mitsunaka's room. ]

[He was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, wiping the knife in his hand. ]

[His expression was focused and serious, and the strength revealed between his brows seemed as if he was battling with something.]

【This is the first time you see him like this.】

"Master," Ian called out.

"It is you."

Yuan Manzhong raised his head and then put the knife in his hand on the knife rest beside him.

"sit down."

"Thank you, sir."

Ian chose a position that kept a certain distance from Yuan Manzhong.

This not only shows respect for him, but also clearly states your requirements.

Yuan Manzhong looked at Ian in front of him.

Although he is over fifty years old, the courage hidden in his eyes has not diminished even a little bit.

This is the character of a famous general that is ingrained in his bones.

"Abe, what do you want from me?" he asked.

Ian, on the other hand, expressed his thoughts straight to the point.

"master."

"I want to marry Raikou."

"..."

Yuan Manzhong stared at him and was silent for a long time before answering:

"Abe, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Ian said without hesitation.

"But I just want to marry Raikou."

[You thought that after you said this, Minamoto Manchu would be furious. ]

[After all, when he saw you holding Minamoto no Raikou’s hand, he almost stabbed your head with a knife.]

[It’s a bit strange that it’s so quiet now. 】

【You realize that there may be some hidden story behind this that you don’t know about. 】

"Has it really come to this?"

Yuan Manzhong looked at the great Onmyoji in front of him with a complicated expression.

"It was Raikou who asked you to marry her, right?"

"..."

Realizing that this was not something worth hiding, Ian nodded, and then added:

"Although it was Raikou who brought it up, I'm actually very happy to do it."

"so--"

"Master, it's not that Lai Guang lowered his standards, but I took the initiative to choose to marry someone higher."

"High-end?"

Yuan Manzhong shook his head.

"Based on what you have done in the past six months, it can't be considered as climbing high."

"I admit that you are indeed an excellent Onmyoji."

[Minamoto said these words with a very serious expression.]

[You realize that for the past six months, he was not indulging your contact with Minamoto no Raikou, but was just observing silently.]

【Just as Minamoto no Raikou said. 】

[Although this father looks very strict on the surface, he is actually a good elder who is concerned about his daughter. ]

【And everything you did might have been in line with his wishes. 】

"Thank you, sir."

Ian remained humble.

"Since I am in this position, I must do my best for Genji, otherwise I will be unworthy of this kindness."

"Ah."

Yuan Manzhong smiled.

"You are really good at speaking nice words."

"But speaking of this——"

Yuan Manzhong looked at the Great Onmyoji in front of him and became serious again.

"Abe, have you found the 'mind' that is entangled with the foundation of the Genji clan?"

"not yet."

Ian was very direct about his progress.

"Master, I won't hide the truth from you."

"The thoughts in Kyoto are too confusing. Even though I have spent more than half a year trying to sort out the threads, it is still very complicated."

"is it?"

Yuan Manzhong nodded.

"Sure enough."

"Then there are some things that I'd better tell you in advance."

Having said this, the general looked at the sword butt beside him.

There were two knives on it.

One was the knife he had just held in his hand, and the other was the blade that almost pierced Ian's eyeball last time.

"What do you think of these two knives?" asked Yuan Manzhong.

Hearing this question, Ian looked at the two weapons carefully.

Soon, he had the answer.

“They are all good knives.”

“Whether it’s the quality of the materials used or the forging techniques, they are all top-notch.”

"And if I'm not mistaken—"

Ian pointed to the taller one among them.

"It should be the elder brother, right?"

"..."

Yuan Manzhong looked at the other person with complicated eyes.

"Abe, how did you know that?"

"Based on my feeling." Ian answered the general's question truthfully, "That was my first impression."

“And I’m just telling the truth.”

"..."

Yuan Manzhong frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he heaved a long sigh, as if he had accepted the reality.

"As expected of Abe."

“It’s always so awesome.”

[You feel that the tone of Minamoto Manzhong is a little strange. ]

[Whether before or now. ]

[The surname Abe seems to have some special meaning to him. ]

【You decide to ask further questions.】

"master."

Ian looked directly at the general in front of him.

"Excuse me, is there anything special about the last name Abe?"

"Of course."

Yuan Manzhong looked at the two brother swords in front of him, as if recalling some scene.

"The names of these two blades are 'Higekiri' and 'Kamimaru'. They are the blades I used in battle."

"And the one who gave them to me—"

Yuan Manzhong looked at Ian in front of him.

"I have the same last name as you."

"what?!"

After hearing the news, even someone as calm as Ian couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Is he a blacksmith, then?"

"No." Yuan Manzhong shook his head.

"He is an Onmyoji just like you."

"..."

Although Ian was shocked, he soon realized a new problem.

"So are the rumors in Kyoto right now actually all about him?"

If that's the case, it's no wonder that Gen Manzhong had that attitude when he first met me.

"maybe."
