"So that's how it is. I understand."

Tamamonomae's eyes were slightly red.

"Mrs. Gen is really important to Mr. Abe."

"Xiaoyu."

Ian gently stroked Tamamonomae's cheek.

"You're important too."

"But, I'm sorry - my wife will only be Raikou."

"..."

Tamamonomae was silent.

After a long while, she seemed to have figured something out, and said with a smile:

"Does that mean I should seduce Mr. Abe from now on?"

"Wait, seduction?"

"Yeah?~"

Tamamonomae took Ian's hand.

"If Mr. Abe cannot accept that I can be his wife—"

"Then I will seduce Mr. Abe as your lover, okay?"

"In this case, all the consequences are caused by my charm, you know?~"

"Mr. Abe, you will become the Great Onmyoji captured by me!"

I know that this is a psychological compromise made by Tamamonomae after she faced the reality.

Ian said nothing more.

He nodded and said:

"Okay."

"I want to see how Xiaoyu can seduce me."

"Hehe~" Tamamonomae threw a coquettish glance.

"Mr. Abe, please look forward to my actions☆~"

"But then again—"

"Why is there such an empty room here?"

"Well... because it used to be where ghosts lived."

"Eh? A ghost is living there?!"

"Well, two ghosts to be exact."

"Two?!"

"That doesn't matter anymore - this is where Xiaoyu will perform for me from now on."

[Unable to leave Kyoto, Tamamonomae decided to stay here. ]

[The natural mountain-water confrontation has been activated: You settled Tamamonomae in the mansion as a servant. ]

【She was very sensible and avoided Minamoto no Raikou. 】

[The two of them got along peacefully.]

[The day to report the results of exorcism is coming soon. 】

【You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu entered the court. 】

In front of the palace gate.

Ian, who came here for the first time, looked at the stone road ahead - at the end was the place where the Emperor would meet his ministers.

As soon as he stepped onto the stone road, he was stunned.

Because the Great Onmyoji sensed a strange aura.

It's the feeling that life and death are confused by some means.

Is there a living corpse nearby?

145. The Peace Palace where life and death intersect (-word chapter)

The boundary between the living and the dead must never be blurred.

Otherwise, everything in the world will become chaotic due to the loss of harmony.

This is also the most taboo part of Yin-Yang magic.

Once it is touched, the consequences will be disastrous.

but now--

The Great Onmyoji looked at the stone path ahead of him, his brows filled with confusion and puzzlement.

Because he felt that someone was using Yin-Yang magic to blur the line between life and death, leaving behind some things that should have disappeared.

This goes against the common sense of yin and yang.

Minamoto no Raikou quickly noticed the abnormality of her lover beside her, and she asked directly:

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

"Is there something wrong with this road?"

"..."

Looking at Minamoto no Raikou's worried look beside him, Ian smiled slightly and shook his head gently.

"Nothing."

"Ma'am, I'm just a little surprised because it's my first time here."

"That's it..."

Minamoto Yorimitsu reached out to smooth Ian's hair and held his hand.

"Husband, if there is anything you cannot handle, you must tell me immediately."

"No matter what the problem is, I will face it with you."

"Yes... Ma'am, I will."

Let's observe it for a while longer.

Maybe... I just made a wrong judgment.

Although Ian thought so, he knew in his heart that the possibility was very low.

because--

This is the Yin-Yang magic that he relies on for survival.

If he calls himself second in Kyoto, no one will dare to claim to be superior.

【You begin to be alert.】

[The Talented Great Onmyoji+++ has been activated: Having mastered the art of Onmyoji, you realize that this may not be a simple invasion. 】

【You carefully observe the situation in Heian Palace.】

【Your idea is not wrong. 】

You did discover something.

"..."

Ian, standing on the steps, looked back at the road he came from, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

Because he discovered that this road was not paved for its beauty.

The plants on both sides of the road are not randomly selected, but pine and cypress trees that are extremely meaningful.

Ian knew that this was the most common formation in Yin-Yang magic - although the purpose of doing so was still unknown.

After all, there are a thousand different understandings of Yin-Yang magic in the eyes of a thousand Yin-Yang masters.

Even an apprentice who is taught hand-in-hand will more or less use different formations from his master.

But one thing is for sure——

Someone had indeed set up a formation here using Yin-Yang magic.

"Husband, what happened to you?"

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Ian beside him with a worried look on his face.

"Are you really okay?"

"Once we enter here... we will be in the palace. If something goes wrong then, it will be very difficult to explain."

"..."

Ian decided not to hide it from Minamoto no Raikou - after all, it was not something that could not be said.

"lady."

"Here's the thing."

[You told Minamoto no Raikou what you observed along the way. ]

[Her expression is more surprised than yours. . ]

You realize she doesn't notice these things.

"This……"

Minamoto no Raikou was a little bit unbelievable.

"Who dares to do such a thing here?"

"This is the French emperor's palace of peace."

"If we are discovered, it will be a crime of disrespect, right?"

"Yes." The Great Onmyoji nodded, "Madam, you are right."

"But what is certain is that this person is very capable - after all, Madam has been to the court so many times and has never discovered this problem, right?"

"This shows that he knows how to hide these traces without affecting his own requirements."

"really."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded to confirm Ian's statement, but soon thought of a new question.

"Husband, if you think about it this way, it seems even more wrong."

"Madam, what do you mean?"

"Husband."

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes swept across the roads paved in array within the palace.

"Since there is someone who even my husband would praise, it means that he must be a very powerful Yin Yang Master, right?"

"In that case—"

"Why didn't anyone mention the existence of such an Onmyoji when they were trying to get rid of the 'Algae Lady'?"

"Ma'am, it's a bit strange what you said."

Ian pursed his chin and began to think about the problem seriously.

However, this is obviously not something that can be answered in a short time - after all, there are too many possibilities.

Seeing her husband in such distress, Minamoto no Raikou reached out and touched his head.

"Okay, husband, let's not worry about this for now."

"Since the formation was discovered in the palace, we just need to report it later."
