You are not surprised by this.

[After all, there has been something wrong with the way she looks at you. ]

[But you were not confused by Tamamonomae's beauty. ]

【You have your own ideas.】

Ian looked at Tamamonomae in front of him, thought for a moment, and then spoke in the most serious tone:

"Xiaoyu, you can indeed be a very good wife."

"But becoming my wife is probably not possible."

"..."

To be fair.

Tamamo Mae was not surprised at all by this answer.

After all, having witnessed the scene in the bath, she didn't think that the great Onmyoji in front of her would be the kind of person who would be willing to abandon Minamoto no Raikou.

What I said just now was only because I was unwilling to give up.

Such an outcome is just destined.

"Well... Mr. Abe, you are right."

Tamamo collected herself and forced out a wry smile.

"I am pushing my luck again."

"I will leave now...I will not disturb Mr. Abe and Mrs. Minamoto."

But just after he said this, things took a direction that Tamamonomae had never imagined.

The great Onmyoji grabbed the fox demon's hands on the left and right, and then pressed her whole body on the tatami.

"Xiaoyu has become the monster I defeated today."

"so--"

“You can’t go anywhere.”

"Otherwise, my reputation as the Great Onmyoji will be in jeopardy."

【Tamamonomae is not stupid.】

【She understood what you really meant. 】

【She knows this is a euphemism for you wanting to keep her in Genji's mansion.】

"Mr. Abe, you can't do that."

Tamamonomae denied Ian's statement.

"If Mrs. Minamoto finds out, Mr. Abe will be in big trouble."

"Will not."

Ian looked at the fox demon beneath him, who had nowhere to go in every sense of the word.

"Xiaoyu is so capable, it won't be difficult to arrange an identity for her to stay here temporarily."

"Besides -"

"Besides?"

"Besides, using Xiaoyu's body for pleasure like this has become a part of my life."

"..."

[Of course Tamamonomae will not take your words literally. ]

[After all, if you really want to do this, you can always find excuses to trap her in Heian-kyō. ]

【She soon understood.】

[You just found a reason that sounded real enough to keep her. ]

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamonomae turned her head away, still finding it hard to accept it.

"Can I really do this?"

"I said yes."

Ian said gently.

"Xiaoyu, stay and entertain me."

"Every day she performs beautiful splashes in front of me, and then works hard to free herself from the rope on the tatami."

"Xiaoyu like that... is very important to me."

The absurd request is the most sincere expression at this moment.

Giving her a reason to stay after being rejected is more important than anything else.

"My concubine understands."

Tamamo-mae turned around and looked directly at the great onmyoji who was pressing him on the tatami, with a hint of meek obedience in his eyes.

"Mr. Abe... from now on, please use my body to please yourself."

"It won't be necessary tonight."

Ian gently stroked Tamamonomae's treasure.

"but--"

"To let Xiaoyu know that I'm not kidding."

"I have to do something."

As he said this, the Great Onmyoji's fingers slid to the fox demon's lower abdomen.

That is an excellent location for drawing talismans.

[Talented Great Onmyoji+++ has been activated: You have drawn a purple-red Onmyoji mark on Tamamonomae's lower abdomen. ]

[That is a shape that is extremely similar to the inner part of the fox's treasure. ]

[Tamamonomae was very happy about this - although she felt it was a bit shameful.]

"Mr. Abe."

Tamamonomae looked down at the marks on her abdomen.

"What is this used for?"

"A pledge."

Ian replied.

"Xiaoyu will be used for my pleasure from now on...so you must protect her well."

Having fun is just an addition.

It's more about protecting oneself - after all, this is Genji's mansion.

Since there is no way to leave Heian-kyo, this place is naturally safer.

After all, no one would doubt the great Onmyoji who had just eliminated the fox demon, let alone provoke Minamoto no Raikou.

Tamamonomae, who had spent a season in fear in Kyoto, understood this truth well.

"Mr. Abe, thank you so much."

"If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have survived."

"No." Ian shook his head. "Xiaoyu is so smart. Even without me, she will definitely find a way to survive."

"But now I think there is one thing that is worth questioning."

"One thing that's questionable?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Xiaoyu, don't you think the emperor's attitude towards you is problematic?"

"First, they ordered the blockade of the entire Heian-kyō, but they didn't issue an order to kill you."

"Even after Raikou informed me of my plan, I still issued the request to 'capture them alive if possible'."

"This is simply asking you to enter the court no matter what, right?"

"This……"

Tamamonomae was a little surprised.

"I have never thought of such a thing."

“诶?等等。”

"Mr. Abe, what you said reminded me of a name that the group of people mentioned when I was caught that day."

"what name?"

"Fujiwara no Tokuko."

【You realize this is a name that has never been mentioned before.】

【But your intuition tells you that this is a very important name. 】

You realize that something has changed.

"Then Xiaoyu, do you know any information about this name?"

Hearing Ian's question, Tamamonomae shook her head.

"At that time, I was only thinking about how to escape... and didn't think deeply about this name."

"It's ok."

Ian touched Tamamonomae's head.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry."

"If it was a name from the court, Raikou would definitely know it."

"..."

Tamamonomae forced a wry smile.

"Well, Mrs. Yuan will definitely be able to help."

It was impossible for Ian not to hear the sadness hidden in Tamamonomae's words.

"Xiaoyu, are you feeling sad?"

"Yes." Tamamonomae said bluntly.

"but--"

"I am not sad because I was unable to help."

"It's because I didn't meet Mr. Abe earlier."

The Great Onmyoji beside Tamamo Mae affectionately.

"Mr. Abe."

"If I appear before Madam Yuan, will you choose me?"

"Xiaoyu, I don't want to deceive you."

“But basically no.”

Ian recalled scenes from the past.

"Because if it weren't for Raikou, I would probably still be living in a village, isolated from the world."

"She brought me to Heian-kyō, and then everything that is now possible is possible."

"so--"

"If it weren't for her, I don't think anything would have happened since I met you."
