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

"so--"

“Whatever happens next is part of what we should accept.”

"Besides, it's not like I can't explain these things to Raikou."

"Eh?!" Tamamonomae was a little surprised, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Yes." Ian nodded confidently.

"As long as you don't play any tricks, Xiaoyu, everything will be handled cleanly when you fake your death."

"...I understand."

Tamamonomae responded to the Great Onmyoji in this way, and a few drops of dew overflowed from the treasure and flowed onto the other's fingers.

She found that she seemed to like the feeling of being caressed.

[The search is still ongoing.]

[But you are not panicked at all.]

【Because you already have a complete plan in your mind. 】

[The Father of the Four Heavenly Kings has been replaced by Kyoto Jiming: Thanks to the search, your reputation no longer needs to rely on the four adopted sons. You are a very eye-catching presence in Heian-kyo. 】

[You often intentionally or unintentionally let people see you enter the mansion where Tamamonomae is hiding.]

【This is part of your plan.】

[For the remaining part, you need to further explore Tamamonomae. 】

Hiding in the mansion.

Tamamonomae's usual clothes had been folded and placed aside.

She herself was lying on the ground with her hind body and tail raised.

There were a few hemp ropes on that white back.

Ian just stood behind, looking at the fox demon's body curves that made people imagine a lot.

But what he paid attention to was not Tamamonomae itself, but the furry tail.

"Xiaoyu, I'm going to start."

"I, I understand."

Ian took a deep breath, then gently grabbed Tamamonomae's upright tail.

There was a snap.

The great Yin-Yang master plucked a hair from it.

Tamamonomae shuddered all over and cried out.

"Migu!!!"

"..."

Ian paused and said:

"Xiaoyu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"A little bit..." Tamamonomae had tears in her eyes, "But I will hold it back!"

"so--"

"Please continue, Mr. Abe!"

"……I see."

[You plucked a few more hairs from Tamamonomae's tail.]

[Her screams echoed throughout the mansion.]

[You sound a little distressed. ]

But you know it's something that has to be done.

It's finally over.

Tamamonomae fell directly to the ground.

"It hurts..."

"You obviously can't bear it, but you still say you can hold on." Ian stroked Tamamonomae's long hair.

"How can it not hurt?"

"But this is what Mr. Abe ordered."

Tamamonomae rested her head on Ian's thigh.

"I must complete it well."

After what happened before, Tamamonomae no longer dared to have any small thoughts.

She confirmed that the great Onmyoji beside her was her only savior.

"Well...what you said makes sense."

Ian responded, and then gently turned Tamamonomae over.

now.

The great Yin-Yang Master saw the charming fox demon's sincerity.

It was a sight that swept across every inch of skin from bottom to top.

Tamamonomae was a little shy.

However, she did not cover any part of her body, allowing the other party to examine it freely.

After the Great Onmyoji's gaze stopped, she spoke in a low voice:

"Mr. Abe, have you finished reading?"

"Is there anything you didn't see clearly? I can let you see it more carefully."

Not to please.

It is not flattery.

Tamamonomae only said this because the other party needed her to do so.

"enough."

Ian replied.

"I've seen enough of Xiaoyu's body."

"That--"

"Can I ask you a small question?" Tamamonomae asked cautiously.

"of course."

"Then Mr. Abe...does this concubine look good?"

"..."

【You realize that this question might be of some importance to Tamamonomae.】

You think about it for a moment.

"nice."

Ian's eyes once again fell on Tamamonomae's heaving body.

“It’s a body that is a collection of beauty.”

"So in order to preserve this beauty...something must be done."

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamonomae was very moved.

After all, although the other party always talks about exchanging interests, in fact they take a lot of risks for themselves.

"So what should we do next?"

"I won't be negligent again."

"Xiaoyu, put your hand out." Ian said.

"..."

Tamamonomae sat up and stretched out her hands obediently.

Ian picked up the rope that was just on her back and tied Tamamonomae's hands.

"Xiaoyu, if it's a knot like this, do you think you can get it free?"

"..."

Although she thought the question was strange, Tamamonomae still answered it very honestly.

"Just loosen it up a bit."

"Well, that's good," Ian nodded thoughtfully.

"..."

"Although I may not have the right to ask this question," Tamamonomae said carefully, "I still want to know Mr. Abe's purpose."

"My tail hair."

"My body appearance."

"And now the ropes."

"Mr. Abe, are you going to..."

Faced with Tamamonomae's question, Ian did not hesitate and explained directly.

"Xiaoyu, what do you think is the most direct way to determine a person's death?"

"..."

After thinking for a while, Tamamonomae came up with his own answer.

"The body was found, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something.

"Mr. Abe...are you going to make my 'corpse' based on those things?"

The tail hair is a disguise of scent and identity;

Shape is what is needed to build the body;

"Xiao Yu, you are really smart." Ian affirmed Tamamonomae's words in an approving manner.

"Then—" she demanded.

"What about the rope?"

"Because I want to let others know that I caught you, and then I will 'kill' you in front of them - this way, the news of 'death' can be confirmed."

Tamamonomae certainly knew that what Ian meant by "killing" was definitely not the real killing of herself.

If you clear your mind,

It means that the Great Onmyoji pretends to kill his tied self in front of everyone, but in fact he just wants to make up the illusion of death and make the corpse appear in front of everyone.

In this way, Tamamonomae will be identified as a "killed monster" and the manhunt will end.

Come to think of it... maybe the previous hand holding was also to attract attention.

This was a risky operation to deceive everyone.

Once any clues are discovered, there will be danger on the spot.

And this was just to get himself out of the hunt.

Tamamo Mae looked at the man in front of her, with only gratitude and worry in her golden eyes.

"Mr. Abe...is this a little dangerous for you?"
