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

There seemed to be a little too many performances today.

[The demon-killing plan submitted by Minamoto no Raikou quickly received a response from the Emperor.]

[You and she have obtained the permission of the Pope.]

【But some details in the reply make you concerned. 】

"Try to capture them alive?"

Ian seemed somewhat puzzled as he listened to Minamoto no Raikou's reply.

"Ma'am, are you sure you heard me correctly?"

"If 'Algae Girl' was a beauty, it would be understandable to capture her alive... But now she is a fox demon. Is it really okay to do this?"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou remained silent.

Obviously.

She also considered what Ian said.

"Husband, I don't know what's going on."

"but--"

"Let's just do as the Emperor has instructed."

"……Understood."

[Although you said this, you didn't intend to do it in your heart. ]

[If she is captured alive, it means that Tamamonomae will be handed back to the Emperor. ]

【That is something you must avoid.】

[You decide to proceed according to the original plan - after all, the Pope's order is to capture him alive if possible but not necessarily.]

[It's just that you still feel a little strange. ]

[The emperor's attitude towards Tamamonomae seems to be very problematic. 】

[But you don’t have time to think about it—because there are still many details waiting for you to perfect. ]

【Time flies by.】

【The planned day has arrived. 】

at night.

The cold wind blew through the streets of Heian-kyō.

The rumors about Ian's past lover no longer exist - everyone knows that it was a trap set by the Great Yin-Yang Master to capture the fox demon.

The foot soldiers in charge of the capture surrounded the mansion where Tamamo had been hiding the day before.

The two people standing in the front are Ian and Minamoto no Raikou.

"Husband, the fox demon is in here, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Ian adjusted his breathing and tone to make what he said sound more real.

"After tonight, Heian-kyō will no longer have to remain on guard against fox demons."

"Ah."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded - she believed what her husband said without a doubt.

"Without further delay, my husband, let's get started now."

The clouds are heavy and the wind is high, only the green light shines.

According to the plan, Ian led Minamoto no Raikou and several relatively prestigious foot soldiers to a certain place in the mansion.

Just as planned.

Tamamonomae was hung there with her hands tied with ropes.

certainly--

Only the Great Onmyoji knows her real name.

In the eyes of others (including Minamoto no Raikou), this is just a fox demon.

The place where Tamamonomae was hung was also carefully chosen.

That is where light and darkness intersect.

Everyone could only see her clothed lower body illuminated by the moonlight, but not her upper body which was immersed in the darkness.

The soles of her feet were covered with curse marks, which were now floating in the wind.

This scene really looks like a fox demon being captured by a great Yin-Yang master.

No one doubted it.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

He coughed lightly - a signal.

Tamamonomae immediately stretched out her voice and let out some low roars from her throat.

have to say.

If Ian didn't know that Tamamonomae actually didn't like doing this at all, he would probably be frightened by this voice.

This is simply the desperate howl of a fox demon before its death. Anyone who hears it will feel a chill.

but--

Now that you know the truth, there is no need to be afraid of it.

The Great Onmyoji looked behind him at Minamoto no Raikou and several frightened foot soldiers.

"It seems that it is impossible to capture this fox demon alive - it has a strong grudge."

"I must kill it here with flames."

Hearing this, Minamoto no Raikou nodded immediately.

She was always very supportive of what her husband did.

"I understand."

"Evacuate now!"

Everyone came outside the mansion.

As he watched, Ian raised his hand.

The flames were brilliant and the heat waves were surging.

At this moment, the lights of thousands of homes in Heian-kyo were gathered together by the Great Onmyoji.

next second.

The entire mansion caught fire and was then engulfed in flames.

That was the funeral announcing the fox demon's death.

[The burning mansion is the last step in the plan that you can control. 】

【You know there is nothing you can do. 】

[Whether Tamamonomae can survive depends on herself. 】

"Husband?"

Minamoto no Raikou's voice came.

"Is there anything else wrong? You've been looking at the sea of ​​fire."

Ian smiled.

"No."

"I just hope to kill the fox demon as soon as possible."

[The fire surrounding the mansion was finally extinguished. ]

【Black smoke rising from the ashes filled the air.】

[You returned the lights of thousands of homes to Heian-kyō. ]

【Now it’s time to test the results. 】

Going around the burnt and fallen beam in front of them, Ian and Minamoto no Raikou came to the place where Tamamonomae was previously "imprisoned".

The moment he arrived, the Great Onmyoji breathed a sigh of relief.

because--

The plan was successful.

I saw a burnt "fox" lying on the dark ground.

of course.

It's not really a fox.

but--

Although it is a fake body, the Great Onmyoji put a lot of effort into it.

Needless to say, the size is important.

With reference to the original body, there would not be any sense of incongruity even if I change back to a fox body.

The same goes for the tail fur - it was all plucked from Tamamonomae, and is genuine fox fur.

But Ian felt that just doing these two things was not enough.

So after making this fake body, he asked Tamamonomae to spray and wash it several times with the water from the fox's treasure.

This way.

This fake body is almost indistinguishable from a real fox, except that it is lifeless.

Even the taste is exactly the same.

of course.

If you look carefully, you can still find some clues, more or less.

But Ian chose a day with a new moon rising, so there wasn't enough light.

And he also treated it twice with flame.

No one would notice anything was wrong—not even Minamoto no Raikou could do that.

"Husband."

Minamoto no Raikou looked at the "fox corpse" in front of him and said with some emotion.

“It’s back to its original state.”

"Yes."

Ian responded to Minamoto no Raikou, preparing to make things even more real.

"Ma'am, I'm going to proceed to the final step."

The great Yin Yang Master pulled out his own knife from his sleeve.

That was a weapon that had killed many ghosts and monsters, and it was also the beginning of the relationship between Ian and Minamoto no Raikou.

He stabbed the "fox corpse" hard.

In the moments before arriving, Ian calmly cut his hand with it.

Suddenly.

As the tip of the knife pierced into the "fox corpse", blood flowed on it, as if it was a blooming blood flower.
